| Technology Will Save Art Museums and Art Galleries
"With each passing year art museums-- and museums in general-- are finding new ways to attract the attention of visitors. While the days of huge headphones and decade old audio narratives are not exactly over-- there has been advances in recent years. For example, at the Milwaukee Art Museum visitors can explore with the new iPod Touch tour. Other art museums, such as the Baltimore Museum of Art, offer visitors touch-sensitive screens that allow people to take virtual tours of private art collections that they may otherwise not be able to view..."

| Courtney Love furious over missing Polly Morgan art
"Musician and actress Courtney Love was the proud owner of an art piece created by British artist Polly Morgan-- note was. Apparently a shipping crew disposed of the untitled piece-- valued at $11,800-- while packing Love's belongings. Love had been in the process of moving from Malibu to the Hollywood Hills..."

| The Future of Art Criticism: Art Critic Jerry Saltz Interacts on Social Network
"Notable art critics can be tougher to reach than the President-- or a former President for that matter. That said, I noticed that Paddy Johnson from Art Fag City picked up on an interesting online debate spurred by art critic Jerry Saltz. Art bloggers often mention how Saltz interacts with his followers on various social networks-- in this case he asked an open question focused on which art critics and art publications his "friends" and "followers" liked best. (My understanding is that he asked the questions on Facebook and Twitter)..." The MYARTSPACE Blog, 04/07/2009 |

| Street Art Defacement: Appropriate Media vs. Banksy
"An early piece by graffiti artist Banksy has been defaced by a group calling themselves Appropriate Media. The piece, titled The Mild Mild West, was located in Stokes Croft, Bristol. Appropriate Media "splashed" the piece with red paint. The group proclaims that they will continue to deface works by Banksy. Appropriate Media mockingly suggests that they will continue to present "alternative versions" of works by the artist. The works by Banksy are often considered alternative landmarks and have been known to increase the value of property..." The MYARTSPACE Blog, 04/08/2009 |

| Copyright Infringement: Richard Prince and Larry Gagosian respond to Patrick Cariou's lawsuit
"The issue of copyright infringement and "fair use" concerning visual art has been a hot topic as of late. For example, the mainstream media has devoted attention to the case involving Shepard Fairey and the Associated Press concerning Fairey's alleged infringement of an AP owned photograph taken by Mannie Garcia. However, there is another important copyright infringement case in the works that has received little press compared to the Fairey AP clash-- even though the outcome of the case is just as important to the art world and to copyright law as we know it. That situation involves photographer Patrick Cariou, Richard Prince, exhibit catalogue publisher Rizzoli, Gagosian Gallery, and art dealer Larry Gagosian..." The MYARTSPACE Blog, 04/10/2009 |

Michelle Rogers
Michelle Rogers grew up in a small-industrialized town in Ireland called Dundalk on the strained border between North and the South, at the height of the troubles. As an artist, although it inspired her, she chose not to dwell initially on the conflict so close to home. Her earliest paintings centered on the Gulf War, and it was in response to this work that Amnesty International selected her to go to Bosnia in 1993. This trip was the impetus for a Dark Heart an impressive series of paintings about the darker side of human nature in which, according to Nicholas Bergman, curator at New York's Caelum Gallery "she sensitively creates a mood of moral decay, of spiritual darkness and despair, there is, simultaneously, a grandeur to the work, which, harks back to the masters - Goya in particular."

Nikki Sass
In her own words "After moving to California I began experimenting with patinaed steel. The work as a whole is a pursuit to embody the ambiance and materials found in post-industrial areas along with my early perspectives on these places. The color combinations derive from my daily environment: peeling bathroom paint, paper on telephone poles, foundling mattresses. I'm interested in the texture resulting from the layering of paint, the physical process of chipping and scrubbing it away, and the timeline that emerges.
Dilapidation, neglect, and seclusion regularly surface as themes. The focus is based on the unintentional allure they can cause, rather than the negative connotations associated with them. These coexist with, what at times, is sweet and girlish. The contrast is a metaphor between me and the surroundings I lived in while young. Wearing a pink sequined skating costume while driving past incinerators, dye shops, and titty bars; and, the grey snow half melted on the lawns of half burnt homes near the doctor's office are some of the memories that reverberate subtly throughout my work."

Geoff Tate (Queensryche)
Queensryche, formed in 1981, is considered to be one of the most influential bands to rise in the 1980s-- largely due to the fact that Queensryche broke from the marketable direction that was expected from bands in that era. Throughout the 1980s Queensryche delivered something more than just songs about sex, fun, and hangover memories-- they delivered socially charged songs that challenge the listeners perception of the world and relationships around us. Today they continue to carve their own path musically and conceptually.
For nearly three decades the band has meshed aspects of visual art, video art, and performance art into their performances on stage. Due to their thought provoking lyrics, sound, and performances the band has been dubbed the "thinking man's heavy metal band". Concept albums by Queensryche, such as Operation: Mindcrime, are often mentioned alongside other notable concept albums, such as The Who's Tommy and Pink Floyd's The Wall. To date over 20 million Queensryche albums have been sold worldwide. We interviewed Geoff Tate from the band...

Anthony Liu
Through painting, Antony Liu makes sense of broken things and searches for subtle beauty in the midst of discord. Liu states that he believes in the coexistence of things, but not in their equality. He explains that where conflict reigns, the possibility of harmony is present. He attempts to find bridges in order to situate what is displaced. Thus, his work reflects an interest in the unchanging laws of color science and theory. Liu states that he finds a sense of security in the fact that what we see can be identified and categorized.

Sarah Maple
Sarah Maple has been called many things due to her art-- some people have lashed out at her with vulgar anonymous messages, others have praised her for her bravery and humor, some have called her the heir to Tracey Emin's throne. One thing is for certain-- she is not going to stop.
In my opinion, your art, specifically your series of photographs, documents aspects of cultural growth and expansion in that it captures the essence of youthful rebellion that has dominated culture, politics, and even religion in the last decade or so. In other words, if your art is shocking it is because society-- today-- is shocking. With that in mind-- your work grows with us and is therefore valid. What are your thoughts on this?

Allise Noble
Allise Noble states that attention to detail is an important aspect of her artwork. Her primary work involves drawing meshed with other mediums-- such as paint. Noble's art has been described as whimsical and soft without structure-- a balance between a visual display of reality and the makings of dreams.
In a sense, Noble explore psychology-- specifically the psychology of identity-- within her work. The thoughts of her subjects are hidden and ambiguous. The viewer must look to the surroundings and other elements in order to solve the puzzle of what is in the subject's mind. Noble strives to create work that conveys more than one meaning. Thus, her body of work is open to the interpretation of viewers.
