1. Artist takes large view of Carroll

   Thursday, March 4, 2010 1:47 pm

   Walter Calahan is a big man with a big smile and an even bigger laugh. It only seems natural, then, that his solo show in McDaniel College’s Rice Gallery features large-format photography.

2. Art speaks in public spaces

   Thursday, April 8, 2010 12:00 am

   

   Some public spaces feel cold, unfriendly and even forbidding, while others are warm, even in the chilliest weather, and welcoming. Art is often what makes the difference.

   

3. Cezanne sensations on display

   Wednesday, March 10, 2010 8:17 pm

   

   There’s a television commercial for a popular candy treat that exhorts you to “Get the sensation.” Paul Cezanne could relate, I think. “To paint from nature is not to copy what is objective,” he said. “It is to realize one’s sensations.”

5. Where ability matters most

   Thursday, March 18, 2010 12:00 am

   

   At The Arc of Carroll County, “ability matters most.” And for the next two weeks, you’ll get a chance to see just how great that ability is. The “Art of The Arc” opens this evening at the Tevis Gallery in the Carroll Arts Center in Westminster, featuring works created by participants in many of the Arc’s programs.

   

6. Art goes to the dogs in Westminster shop

   Thursday, March 25, 2010 12:00 am

   

   I admit it. I like clothes. A lot. I also like to shop. Great combination unless you’re my bank account. I also like to shop local, so I haunt establishments in downtown Westminster that sell funky threads, making sure I always know what’s new.

   

7. In the Arts: McDaniel exhibit will make you think

   Thursday, April 1, 2010 12:00 am

   

   Brain scans. Dandelions. Frogs. Hexagons. Roadkill. Body image. Odd characters. Eating disorders.

   

8. Student art moves fast and furious

   Thursday, April 15, 2010 12:00 am

   

   The first warm days of spring mean a couple of things on the McDaniel College campus. Students shed cold-weather clothing and shoes in favor of shorts and flip-flops. And student art starts appearing in the Esther Prangley Rice Gallery, fast and furious. Every two weeks there’s a new show.

   

9. Junk is art waiting to happen

   Thursday, April 22, 2010 12:00 am

   

   What do you do with old paint cans? You know, the ones with just a little bit left in the bottom, all cracked and dried, color long gone covering the sides.

   

10. Industrial city embraces its style

    Thursday, May 6, 2010 12:00 am

    

    I love Glasgow. Folks are often surprised to hear that. It’s a gritty city, industrial, working class, no pretension.

    

11. Glasgow Boys broke all the rules

    Thursday, May 13, 2010 12:00 am

    

    They were young. They came from the wrong city. They didn’t want to do things the way they had always been done. They had their own ideas about what made good art. They called themselves “The Boys.” The art world called them “The Glasgow Boys.”

    

12. Artists work between light and shadow

    Thursday, April 29, 2010 12:00 am

    

    If you saw the Edward Hopper show in D.C. a while back, you know he speaks in light and shadow. He tells stories, highlights, hides, creates mystery, builds tension and sets a mood. Hopper would be intrigued by the seven artists whose work is in “Between Light and Shadow” at the Carroll Arts Center.

Former governor back on the stump

By Bryan P. Sears Posted 5/12/10

http://www.explorebaltimorecounty.com/news/106226/change-desire-compete-fuel-ehrlich-2010-bid

The sign in Bob Ehrlich's corner office reads, "No Whining."

Four years after his only political loss, the Republican former governor has decided to rejoin the political fray, challenging his political nemesis, Gov. Martin O'Malley.

He announced his intention to run April 7 at a rally in his boyhood home of Arbutus. Since then, he has criss-crossed the state, most recently speaking at a GOP spring convention in Ocean City.

Just an election cycle ago, Ehrlich was telling listeners of his newly christened radio show that Maryland had changed.

5 things you should know before dating a journalist

Tags: advice, life, media

This list is inspired by ProBlogger's "Top 5 — Group Writing Project." I've had this list in my head for some time, based on personal experience with the pitfalls of relationships (and there are soooo many) and watching my friends. Perhaps a new JACC workshop?

So, you’ve been eyeing that smart, attractive journalist you’re lucky enough to know personally. You’re intrigued. Your journalist is smart, funny, confident. Visions of Clark Kent taking off the glasses and ripping off his clothes to reveal a perfectly toned body in blue spandex coming to save you run through your head.

Who can blame you? Journalism is a sexy occupation.

But journalists aren’t like the bimbos you usually pick up at the bar. Nor are they the assholes you ladies continually fall for. No, journalists are different beings (which is why you’re attracted to them in the first place), and you should realize — before jumping in — that this isn’t going to be a run-of-the-mill, boring, lame relationship you’re used to.

Here’s what you need to know:

The Tentacle: Spellbound by Salvador Dali by Kevin E. Dayhoff March 25, 2009

Happy Birthday Salvador Dali

The Tentacle: Spellbound by Salvador Dali by Kevin E. Dayhoff March 25, 2009

Last month I enjoyed a bit of respite from Maryland’s winter by visiting Florida. Finding myself within reasonable driving distance of St. Petersburg, I jumped at the chance to visit the Salvador Dali Museum.

Located on the waterfront in Barboro Harbor, it is the “largest collection of Dali’s work outside of Spain,” according to Peggy McKendry, the assistant to the director of the museum.

The museum, which opened in a renovated marine warehouse March 7, 1982, is the home of 2,140 pieces of Salvador Dali’s art, including 96 oil paintings and eight huge master works.

This collection began in Cleveland, OH, in 1942. Collecting Dali’s art was the lifelong passion of industrialist A. Reynolds Morse, and his wife Eleanor Reese Morse.

[…]

In recent years, I have visited art museums – from San Diego, Salt Lake City, Anchorage, Boston, Washington, and Baltimore – and I found the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg to be one of the friendliest exhibitions I have ever seen.

Everyone from Ms. McKendry, to the extremely knowledgeable docents, and even the museum guards went out of their way to make sure you knew that the museum was there to serve, entertain, and educate.

Such accessibility is critical if you are to have a meaningful experience exploring 20th century contemporary art – especially the work of Salvador Dali.

[…]

While I was doing some additional research on Dali, after I visited the museum, I had the great fortune to talk with Dan Twyman, the senior art consultant for the “Salvador Dali Society,” in Redondo Beach, CA, the owner of the website, http://www.salvadordaliexperts.com/ and a volunteer expert for the website http://www.allexperts.com/ in the fine art category.

George Washington racks-up $300k in overdue library fines

Posted 5/10/10 by Carroll Eagle By Kevin Dayhoff

British Broadcasting Corp. is reporting that archivists in New York’s oldest library have uncovered a surprising borrower with overdue books.

It has been recently revealed that on Oct. 5, 1789, our nation’s first president, George Washington, borrowed two books from what was then the only library in Manhattan, the New York Society Library.

According to BBC, on Oct. 5, 1789, a time when New York City was serving as our nation’s capital, Washington borrowed the “Law of Nations,” a dissertation on international relations, and Vol. 12 of a collection of transcripts of debate transcripts from Britain's House of Commons.

Now this in itself may not be earth-shattering news. However there is a catch. ...

It appears that the books were due a month later but they were never returned. GASP!

At the moment, the overdue fines for this lapse, by the president who never told a lie, have grown to $300,000 in the ensuing 220 years.

Lawrence Weiner tames the volcano

Lawrence Weiner tames the volcano

Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 10:22am

Photo: Börkur Arnarson

By Oliver Basciano

Timing is everything and Lawrence Weiner’s, it seems, is impeccable. His formative work in the 1960s was a series of controlled explosions in the California desert. Now at the age of sixty-eight, and during the life of his current exhibition at i8 Gallery in Reykjavik, the artist’s past is catching up on him courtesy of nature.

Planned for months and having opened at the end of March, the show seems to make prescient reference to the eruption of the now-infamous Eyjafjallajokull volcano, 120km southeast of the Icelandic capital. Made up of a series of Weiner’s wall and canvas based text and graphic-led works, the sloganeering statements seem to egg on the eruptions: “To The Limits of Its Voltality” the main wall declares. As this photo of Weiner, taken in front of Eyjafjallajokull after the opening of his show, indicates, the artist is pretty pleased with the coincidence.

The 20x200 Newsletter : Edition Announcement #271 - Lawrence Weiner

http://www.20x200.com/email/edition-announcement-lawrence-weiner.html

Wednesday Edition: LAWRENCE WEINER

HEAD OVER HEELS by LAWRENCE WEINER
10"x8" ($50) 20"x16" ($500) 30"x24" ($2000) 40"x30" ($5000)

[PLEASE NOTE PURCHASE LIMITS BELOW.]

What I'm really hoping is that today's edition—HEAD OVER HEELS—shows up in bars. You know, places like Fanelli's or the Scratcher or 288, or the spot up the street from your office where you grab a drink after work. Or ideally, somewhere in the West Village close enough to where Lawrence Weiner lives that he might stroll by and see it through the window. It should be in bars. Lots of them. Why? Because that's what Lawrence wants and if I've ever met a man who deserves to get what he wants, he's the one.

Why Lawrence wants this is what makes him kind of magical and amazing. You see, he figures that if it shows up in bars, it's likely to be seen by people who will experience it for what it is (or, rather, what they make of it) instead of being seen as a thing that was made by HIM. (We'll have to allow for a higher likelihood of positive IDs here among the erudite drinkers of the City of New York, but still!) This is what Lawrence wants with all of his work—for people to see it—LOTS of people, and for those people to make it their own.

I often talk about how much I love my job, almost to the extent that it sometimes feels like gloating. But it's hard not to yammer on about it when I've got a gig that involves an afternoon spent in the home and studio of Lawrence Weiner, surrounded by his art, and the art of his friends (think Ruscha, Sol LeWitt) and the people he holds dear—his wife Alice and a staff that seems like family. It's a home possessed with a serenity and peaceful happiness as to feel almost cult-like, except for the hints of playfulness that peek out unexpectedly at every turn. Its bones are drawn from the familiar vocabulary of contemporary architecture—there are industrial materials and clean lines—but they're punctuated by floors and ceilings painted in rich, strong hues. The three hours that Sara, Philae and I spent there were incredible. LW is so articulate and profound, it was tempting to scribble down nearly everything he said. (And this coming from someone who is a terrible notetaker!) But the most memorable moments conveniently connect to what Weiner was thinking when he created HEAD OVER HEELS.

Here's the thing to know about Weiner. He's kind of a socialist, in a way that reminds me of my born-of-Eastern-European-immigrants grandfather. As he says in the video I just linked to, he believes that everyone should have a roof over their heads, food in their stomachs and an education—and that the state should provide it. But here's the thing—he's not a Marxist. He'd like to be, but in his lifetime—in our lifetime—we've witnessed its corruption and failure. And being a bohemian, a 60s conceptualist pioneer, a reader and a thinker makes it hard to cast your lot with God and angels.

Lawrence laid out these bookends before us simply and eloquently, and yes, we were hanging on his every word. He said "Where are we without either? All we want, all anyone wants, is to be a good person. But how?"

Having dispensed with Marx and angels, we're adrift—head over heels—trying to be good, trying to have heart. All anyone wants is to be a good person—but how? I've thought about that a lot since that day, and in thinking about it, have come to understand more what LW means when he says that he wants people to see this image as an icon, independent of him and art and the art world and everything else.

To be a good person is a practice; it requires constant effort and correction. It seems no mistake that there's a heart at the center of the icon Lawrence has created for us. It's something to meditate on and to anchor oneself to, something to go after, if you will and something to share with the world.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING PURCHASING LIMITS:

- We're limiting collectors to two 10"x8" prints each, and only one per collector for prints 20"x16" and larger.
- This edition is not eligible for any discount or promotion.
- We reserve the right to refund purchases if we determine that a single collector has acquired multiple prints or used a discount code.

GUEST ARTIST, March/April: Thomas Sterner

Off Track Art is pleased to have Thomas Sterner as our guest artist for March and April.

Thomas Sterner is a sculptor and mixed media artist who is an important element in the fabric of Carroll County. Over the years his installations, organic sculptures and intricately carved wooden plaques and doors have both challenged and delighted viewers.

His work reminds the viewers of the delicate connection between humankind and nature. The natural wood canvas is delicately carved and enhanced with paint. Whether the work is infused with textual references or not, the work can be interpreted on many levels. Currently he is working on a series of architectural doors such as “A is for Art” which can be seen in the lobby of the Carroll Arts Center.

GUEST ARTIST, May/June: Jodi O’Connell

Off Track Art welcomes colorful painter, Jodi O’Connell, as our guest artist for May and June. Drop by to the reception on Friday, May 5th between 5:30 and 7:30 PM to meet Jodi. An expressive painter of traditional genres, Jodi renders her subjects in bright, glowing colors.

Blacksburg, VA 24063

Mike Buchanan, owner.

According to the website, http://eatsouvlaki.com/, “Souvlaki opened for business in the fall of 1982. The original location was across the street on Draper Road. Souvlaki was associated with the original Greek's Restaurant, established in 1920 by the late Nick Kappas. Throughout the years the family has owned and operated four restaurants in the town of Blacksburg. While some continue under different management, Souvlaki still remains with the original family.”
