NY's Golden Age of Bridges 3
   
 September 29  
Many artists over the years have painted the bridges of New York City, but few have been as singularly committed to painting all nine of New York's major bridges as Antonio Masi. The artist will give a demonstration on his approach to his large-scale paintings (usually 60"x40") in watercolor.  Following the demonstration, attendees can obtain an autographed book of "New York's Golden Age of Bridges", which he co-authored with Joan Marans Dim and is published by Fordham Press and Oxford Press.
His work is currently on exhibit at the NY Transit Museum through October 7.

Well known for her use of dense patterns of polka dots and nets, as well as her intense, large-scale environments, Yayoi Kusama works in a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, film, performance, and immersive installation. Born in Japan in 1929, Kusama came to the United States in 1957 and quickly found herself at the epicenter of the New York avant-garde. After achieving fame through groundbreaking exhibitions and art “happenings,” she returned to her native country in 1973 and is now one of Japan’s most prominent contemporary artists. This retrospective features works spanning Kusama’s career.

Liquid Identities - Venice (Italy)



Liquid Identities | Venice (Italy)
Opening: September 28, 2012
 
Liquid Identities, an international video-art festival and photography exhibition, will be held in the city of Venice. The Scoletta di San Giovanni Battista e del SS. Sacramento in Bragora, the venue of the event, will open its doors on Friday, September 28, until Sunday, September 30Fifty-seven artists, thirty-two video artists and twenty-five photo artists from different countries have been selected to be part of this project.
 
The selection has been based on the main concept of “Liquid Identities” based on fluidity, motion, changing networks and cities transformations. In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity; what makes every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable too. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. And it’s just this “contemporaneity” that makes our civilization conceived as subjected to a process of continuous evolution and cultural hybridization. There is no more limit between an identity and the other one but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity. This project is about temporary roles in changing rules, thinking about liquid borders in new evolving worlds.
