Hypnotica paintings by Jen Omaitz: opening reception at e.gordon gallerySubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Wed, 09/27/2006 - 13:15.
09/29/2006 - 18:00 09/29/2006 - 22:00 Etc/GMT-4 Hypnotica, paintings by Jen Omaitz at e.gordon gallery. I could not find out enough about Jen Omaitz online, I found some images of her work but I did'nt think that they represented what you will see in this exhibition. So I did'nt post them. The works on the postcard I received from e.gordon gallery appear to be abstract landscapes or urbans scenes, the colors are dark and rich with streaks of bright color that look like neon or blurry colored lights photographed with time lapse photography. The card says they are oil on canvas. Go to the opening and see for yourself. Location

International Association of Information Technology Asset Managers 2006 Annual Conference & Exhibition in ClevelandSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Tue, 09/26/2006 - 15:04.
10/18/2006 - 08:00 10/20/2006 - 17:00 Etc/GMT-4 I just got the following event details from our Tech Czar Michael DeAloia about an important international conference coming to Cleveland - The International Association of Information Technology Asset Managers - with keynote by Case VP of IT Lev Gonick (congratulations, Lev). I've worked with lots of high level global IT managers and they are an excellent draw to Cleveland... they like to explore and they spend money, so this conference is a gem. And they are offering a special deal for Cleveland IT companies worth checking out. Most interesting to me and you is how they are selling Cleveland to their international membership... check out our forum on 22 reasons to attend this conference in Cleveland, Ohio, and add your ideas to share with these important guests of our community, and all others!

Coming soon to the CMA: Barcelona!Submitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Sun, 09/24/2006 - 23:23.
Salvador Dali (Soft Construction with Boiled Beans Premonition of Civil War), 1936, oil on canvas 100 x 99 cm Artists, intellectuals and anarchy – sounds like just what Cleveland needs? It worked for Barcelona!
The Cleveland Museum of Art reopens October 15th with an absolutely incredible exhibition that is not to be missed: “Barcelona & Modernity: Picasso, Gaudi, Miro, Dali.” Any one of these artists would be a huge draw for a museum exhibition -- Cleveland is lucky enough to get an exhibition with all four. This exhibition, for the first time, puts these four great artists and their contemporaries into the context of the unique city of Barcelona and the region of Catalonia. The show includes hundreds of works (painting, sculpture, prints, textiles, decorative arts; furniture, ceramics, jewelry) never before seen together by masters you should be familiar with and their contemporaries -- they will amaze you as well.

See map: Google Maps Leave ‘Em Wanting More #5, at 1300, featuring Grant Smrekar, Paul Sydorenko and Bill RubnikSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 09/24/2006 - 11:54.
10/20/2006 - 19:00 10/20/2006 - 22:00 Etc/GMT-4 On October 20th, artists Grant Smrekar, Paul Sydorenko and Bill Rupnik will be the first to Leave ‘Em Wanting More when they initiate the final one-night only shows at the 1300 Gallery. “We’re excited to have Grant, Paul and Bill as our first three artists for the last shows at 1300,” Martin Geramita, owner of 1300, said. “A strong opening show will be great momentum for the final series.” With three known, Cleveland-based artists, drawing a crowd shouldn’t be an issue. Smrekar, a mixed-media artist known for his political street art, graffiti images and most recently landscape imagery and collage compositions, will join Paul Sydorenko, a multi-media artist currently showcasing work from his upcoming children’s book titled, Grounded. Rounding out the first of the final shows at 1300 is Bill Rupnik, a self-described “visual terrorist”, whose combination of stencil art, photography and mixed media is inspired by “grime and sleaze”.

See map: Google Maps Another tragedy on the West Side: 1300 is closingSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 09/20/2006 - 13:10.
While hard to compare to shootings and murder, I can't think of a worse development for NEO, local arts and culture and my neighborhood than the news I recieved just now - Gallery 1300 is closing. I don't know enough details to know if it is "our" fault - not enough money flowing from the community to the gallery and artists - or just that the smart, great people who have made 1300 a core part of the NEO scene have other opportunities to pursue, but I know we all owe it to their team to really put out for them in their closing months. More to come on this as I learn details... for now: the Press Release: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Title of the Exhibit: Leave ‘Em Wanting More – The last shows of 1300 Opening Reception: 5 - October 20, 7-10 – Grant Smrekar, Paul Sydorenko, Bill Rupnik

Steven Litt says County is going wrong way and must stop and consider other prospectsSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Wed, 09/20/2006 - 00:16.
Cleveland Plain Dealer Architecture Critic Steven Litt is really stepping up to lead the march for a better designed Cleveland, as he has been the lone mainstream voice for intelligent redevelopment of the I-90 bridge and is the lone voice at all for saving the landmark Breuer Cleveland Trust Building on East 9th, between Euclid and Prospect, which for 15 years Jacobs demolished by neglect and now Cuyahoga County Commissioners want to demolish by force, all to build a replacement building for their offices, at great cost to taxpayers... this is the Jacobs Coast Guard Station fiasco X 1000, and community leaders are letting this one slide too.
September 19th: Talk Like A Pirate DaySubmitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Mon, 09/18/2006 - 22:47.
09/19/2006 - 00:00 09/19/2006 - 23:59 Etc/GMT-4 Don't forget, September 19th is a holiday: Talk Like a Pirate Day. It will be interesting to see -- I mean hear -- how many Clevelanders participate. I must admit I am not that into the idea, but I really like this portrait of a proud pirate woman by one of my favorite artists, Arabella Proffer Vendetta. Count this work as "Art of the Day".

Issues of Glocalization equally important in Toronto and ClevelandSubmitted by Norm Roulet on Sun, 09/17/2006 - 00:49.
This weekend the Toronto arts and culture scene was world-class beyond belief, featuring the final weekend of the Toronto Film Festival, the opening of the new Four Seasons Opera House (premiering Wagner's Ring Cycle), many smaller community arts festivals, and two major arts festivals – the Queen West Arts Crawl, featuring over 500 artists and galleries along mind-blowing Queen Street) and the august 11th Annual Canadian Art Gallery Hop. The Queen West Arts Crawl was way cool, but I stayed in Toronto an extra day for Software Freedom Day and the Canadian Art Gallery Hop, as that featured a free “Glocal Live Roundtable” of many of Canada's arts leaders. “The term GLOCAL fuses global with local and points to the meshing of macro and micro realms of experience in the contemporary world of Internet technologies and instant information. The speed and collapsing distances of this new reality hold challenging implications for traditional identities and communities, along with promising opportunities.” The roundtable was astounding... see below for detailed notes of interest to all concerned about arts, culture and the economy, local to anywhere in the world and global.
dance video of the day from FranceSubmitted by Susan Miller on Thu, 09/14/2006 - 10:58.
You think SAFMOD’s cool? Check out this guy who actually pays homage to the master of multimedia dance construction. Uh, that would be the late Alwin Nikolais who pioneered this stuff when he returned from serving in WWII.
