All The Roadrunning

A review of Mark Knopfler and Emilylou Harris duets. "Besides the sheer pleasure of this remarkable duo's harmonies, it's the underlying emotions, the straight-from-life stories, that make All The Roadrunning essential listening."

Testing out the new camera today I found this sculpture of a fairie reading in a garden.

V for Vendetta

I saw the film last night with Greg at the Richmond street Paramount. I have never heard of this comic book but the Wachowski brothers pulled off a great adaption for the screen. Natalie Portman of StarWars fame looks amazing as Evey with a shaved head. Hugo Weaving aka The Matrix Agent Smith is the voice behind the V mask. Set in the near future V confronts the corrupt British Government with Shakespearian martial art knife play in the shadows of post 9/11 criticism. It was quite provoking and entertaining. P.S. The previews showed a new Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest with you know who, I can hardly wait.

Doing Art Students A Dis?

Yaghh

Ok I lost my camera or it got ripped off somehow monday morning on the subway. Having scoured both my apartment and classroom 3 days in a row I must finally admit the mystery has me inside out. Time to consider an upgrade?

Berlin Bienniale Exhibits On Street

"We realized that we could build a show out of the whole street, with artists from many generations, a show whose spaces capture 250 years of life, not just the vacuum of a gallery's white cube, as if nothing came before."
