Arts and CultureMany Worlds Collide for David Deming, Inner Circle and Putnam CollectionSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 10/31/2007 - 23:38.
The Friends of Art, CWRU staff and the John and Mildred Putnam Sculpture Collection team of Harvey Buchanan and Evelyn Kiefer picked the perfect time and day to hold a reception celebrating the addition of work #45 to the world-class Putnam Sculpture Collection, at University Circle, as David Deming's "Inner Circle" is a work of art that changes dramatically with light in the environment, and sunset is an especially beautiful time to view this work.

Inner Circle has Multiple Meanings, Around University CircleSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Mon, 10/29/2007 - 12:15.
University Circle is a community of overlapping circles of interdependent institutions, boards, patrons and public interests that in some way touch every life in the NEO universe, worldwide (well illustrated by the current Cleveland Orchestra tour of Europe). So thoughts of "Inner Circles" within this star-power constellation bring illusions of grand people and designs. So true, as the latest "Inner Circle" added to University Circle is a very sharp and strong sculpture by Cleveland Institute of Art President David Deming, commissioned by the Putnam Sculpture Collection, of Case Western Reserve University... a great collision of worlds.

My MasumiSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 10/21/2007 - 12:54.
Could it be just over a year since Masumi Hayashi and John Jackson were killed by a senseless psycho ...? As the senseless killing escalates all around NEO today, it is easy for the dead to become forgotten by so many they touched in many ways, in life... or lost to all. Where NEO has seen a community that remembers is those who love the arts, as the past year has seen many shows of love and respect for Masumi and John, the most recent being a wonderful exhibition that opened last week at Doubting Thomas Gallery, called To Masumi. A collection of special works by many who love and remember Masumi, this is a powerful statement on what lasts and matters in life and beyond. Props to the organizers of this exhibition and to Doubting Thomas - really fantastic... amazing musicians performing in the front Gallery, Michael Doc Dreyfuss and Bill Weita... haunting yet alive... see today's header... image below...
SEPARATE SPORT AND STATESubmitted by Jeff Buster on Fri, 10/19/2007 - 15:45.
Regarding the "Red Socks Out to Dry" banner: I realize there are many in the Realneo audience who despise the toothy grinning Indian logo (and see it as a racist caricature). The DDealer came out with an editorial along this line recently - but I couldn't find a link.

CLEVELAND MIRAGESubmitted by Jeff Buster on Wed, 10/17/2007 - 23:13.
![]() I walked out on the Lorain Street Bridge with one photo in mind (red socks hanging out to dry - I’ll get that photo blogged tomorrow) - and then up the bridge slope comes a fellow with no legs powering his wheel chair with his arms. The afternoon was warm and the sun intensely bright. I began to get a head ache behind my right eye. Cleveland’s central city rose starkly over a Vermont like grove of golding trees.

Blast from the past, when a young me would sip a glass of wine and pretend to be oh-so-bohemian listening to jazz at the Brandywine on Euclid Ave in the late eighties. Sadly, no wine at the library, but I can still pretend to be cool. Location

After the presentation by authors John Mearsheimer (left) and Stephen Walt (right) of the The Israel Lobby at Case’s Ford Auditorium last night, I approached Alice Bach, the tenured Case prof (on the stage between the authors) and complimented her on her perspicacity shown in arranging Mr. Mearsheimer's and Mr. Walt's visit to Cleveland.
Private Empire: The National Portrait Gallery of KessaSubmitted by KMonoxide on Wed, 09/26/2007 - 14:21.
10/12/2007 - 18:00 10/12/2007 - 22:00 Etc/GMT-4 Arabella Proffer has created a fictional National Portrait Gallery, whose works are a juxtaposition of modernity with aristocratic tradition. Her subjects sport twenty-first century punk and gothic styles as part of their formalwear, but without the mohawks and piercing, each portrait resembles typical late medieval or Renaissance portraits. Proffer notes: "this series centers around balance of counter-culture and tradition; how punk or gothic styles might be adopted by royalty and socialites for serious portraits left as a reminder of their legacy. What was once considered rebellious has now become widely accepted. Traditionally, each portrait preserves what may later be a historical moment. In the case of this series however, some the 'historical' moments are of my own imagination" Location
