Share Some Interesting Art

^ did you exhibit it? 

Good and funny video about the Biennale: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/video/2011/jun/03/venice-biennale-adrian-searle-video

Yes, yes, of course it was exhibited, how could it not! To nature itself and select number of close friends deemed enlightened enough to appreciated such works. As it happened several fell into the throes of hyperkulturemia resulting in weighty fines under the pretense of 'prank' phone calls to emergency hotlines. Needless to the say the exhibition ran at a considerable loss. But that's art for you... I guess.

H'm it would be interesting to see how extensive the Australian exhibition is at the British Museum. I must say, in light of my own short comings, I've shown a low level of interest in Australian Art, which probably boarders somewhere between the lines of ignorance and arrogance. I might be coming to hasty conclusions, but the further this country progress down its development (be it good or bad) the less importance something like the "Kelly" works will have on the younger generation, considering our disassociation with criminal spawning of our country and things like the outback. Tho' this might just be my long winded, myopic way of stating I do not like, connect, with this works.

Also, while Aboriginal art is reasonably well received in this country, especially in the last so many decades since certain lawful rights were implemented. It is oh so tasteful for the bourgeois to have such paintings adorning their walls. But, there seems to be a heavier impact, if were are talking market wise, overseas in light of the exotic effect academic is so good at attributing traditional cultures. The works themselves can be quite stunning. My eyes were open to this while traveling with some who does such paintings. For about a week he holed himself up in his room before completing only a small canvas.    

Most interesting... exhibition I've read about in a while: http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2011/may/30/piccadilly-community-centre-christoph-buchel

Visited the Kunsthaus in Zurich last week while in town (Wednesday's are free, unlike anything else in town). While not the largest museum, and somewhat limited in scope (unless you're caught up in a euro-centric worldview) it was highly enjoyable, with numerous works of considerable interest to me personally. Standouts were, for me, Brâncuși, Canaletto, Tiepolo, Segantini (the two works they had were differed from his signature style which I'm not overly fond of), Füssli oh, and I shouldn't breeze over Rodin and the Gates of Hell. Mainly artist I've admired, but seen little of their works in the flesh. There were also some, sizable, sections with little to no interest for me; photography and (most) of the Impressionist section.

The most saddening part of my visit was seeing a middle aged man, horridly dressed (I'm sure he look splendid in is own mind) in miss matched pinstripes having his picture taken (by a dizzy lookin' wife) next to only Dali painting in the Museum.

I really should post some pictures, but I'm starving, and lazy.
