We at the Boca Museum are certainly fans of the recent boom in photography. We have an Instagram page and upload images to Twitter, not to mention Facebook and Pinterest. In fact, we have expanded our photography policy to allow cellphone photos in our second-floor permanent collection galleries.
There are a few drawbacks to the avalanche of photos though, one of them being the credit lines that accompany images. When we print up any materials that feature an image, we always include a certain set of information about the piece. Of course, not every visitor to the museum has the time to be studiously copying down an artist's name, the title of an artwork, the medium used, and so on.
To that end, we'd like to spotlight five of the artworks that appear often on social media, specifically Flickr, and fill in some blanks on who made what, when, and why. If you would like to learn more about an artwork you have seen or photographed at the museum, leave a comment below and we will tell you all about it!
Space Station by Julio Larraz
Julio Larraz was born in Havana, Cuba, in 1944. He created this sculpture out of painted bronze and it stands a whopping 17 ½ feet high. It is placed in the courtyard near our front door and was purchased by the Boca Museum with funding provided by anonymous donors and the Dr. and Mrs. John J. Mayers Foundation.
A lot of people see this and immediately think "teacups" because of the cups' small size and the shape of the pot on the top. This is actually a stack of coffee cups with a coffee pot balanced precariously on top. Larraz is addressing the historically unbalanced politics of Latin America, specifically, the coffee business. Using metaphor, he implies that all the little coffee cups – the workers – hold up the big pot – the owner – on coffee plantations and in coffee business.
Power is imbalanced and at any point, the cups could cause the pot to come crashing down.
Hoy es Hoy [Today is Today] by Javier Marin
Javier Marin was born in Mexico in 1962. He created this magnificent sculpture in 2002 out of bronze, like Larraz, but he left it unpainted. This is another very large piece, it is almost 13 feet high, 8 feet in width, and 10 feet deep. It sits on the side of the museum that faces US-1 and was purchased by the Boca Museum with funds from our Collectors Forum group in addition to the Dr. and Mrs. John J. Mayers Foundation.
This sculpture does not depict just one woman's face. Instead, it is a combination of multiple races: Mexican, Native American, and Asian.
Labirintite by Rabarama
The Boca Museum doesn't actually own Labirintite, it is on loan from Vecchiato Art Galleries in Padua, Italy. We've been lucky to have it since 2001. Rabarama is an Italian artist who was born in 1969 and she made this sculpture out of painted bronze. Paint doesn't fare too well outdoors here in Boca because of the salt air. Because of that, we have had to sand and repaint this piece once already and are about to do it again. The first time, Rabarama visited the museum from Italy and did it herself!
The piece is five feet high by nine feet long and six feet deep. Rabarama covers all of her sculptures in patterns like this: mazes, puzzle pieces, numbers, and letters. These refer to her interest in genetics and DNA, basically what makes us up as people. The labyrinth on this one refers not only to the genetics that make up our bodies but also to the journey that each person takes in his or her own life – the experiences that make us up as people.
Celestial Presence by Dorothy Gillespie
Sadly, Dorothy Gillespie passed away last year at the age of 92. She had a very long, full life as an artist though. For instance, she created this polychromed hanging sculpture out of shaped, cut aluminum in 2007, at the age of 87! It is 25 feet high, 20 feet long, and 12 feet deep.
It has been hanging at the museum for six years and every year we have to take it down for hurricane season as it hangs so closely to our windows. There are more than 350 "starbursts" hanging here! This gift from the Dorothy Gillespie Foundation transforms both the inside and the outside of the museum into an elaborate fantasy of explosive, multi-colored movement.
Music Power II by Arman
French/American artist Arman was born in Nice, France and lived from 1928 to 2005. He uses only his first name in deference to Vincent Van Gogh, who only signed his first name on paintings. Influenced heavily by the Dada movement, Arman made "accumulations" of objects like the violoncellos seen here.
Sliced, smashed, or burned musical instruments were one of his most recognizable subjects since the 1960s. This piece was created in 2002. As an amateur cellist and son of an antiques dealer, Arman was surrounded by music from a very young age. He gifted this sculpture to the Boca Museum himself.

Judaism and the Coca-Cola Culture
God set up the world as a system by which humanity has the choice to pull away from Him, thereby allowing for the "higher" Spouse-like relationship with Him to become available.
The following is excerpted from Jewish by Choice by Rabbi Eliyahu Yaakov Deutsch.
God set up the world as a system by which humanity has the choice to pull away from Him, thereby allowing for the "higher" Spouse-like relationship with Him to become available. God gives us the Free Will to choose away from the relationship with Him, since the quality of a relationship depends on one's ability to choose it, and choosing it means you have to have the ability to destroy it. That is, it's only a real choice toward the relationship if the participant in the relationship has the real opportunity and pull to choose against the relationship, thereby bringing about its collapse. It is because of this that God sets up a path "toward" Him and spirituality, as well as arranging for the option by which one can manipulate that path and go astray. This possibility of moving "away" from God applies to all of our character traits. Our character traits enable us to do Good and move toward God. But there is the option to manipulate these traits, use them in their unhealthy extreme, and go the other way, thus allowing for Free Will in the application of these traits. For example, the human being has a trait or quality called "giving," but you can use giving in an extreme or incorrect manner, and then all of a sudden you are using the power of giving for the wrong purpose. The easiest illustration of this example is a society that advocates "free love" – this is a classic manipulation of the power of giving; this is giving gone wild.
Really Artificial
We are hardwired to go after the max, which is to build a relationship with the Infinite. But for every desire to get the real thing, there is a Coca-Cola option calling itself the real thing, when, in fact, it is artificial. When a person gets sucked into focusing his time and energy on such a Coca-Cola option, he ends up squandering his inner yearning for that which truly is the real thing (getting close to God). He exchanges the Real Thing for that which is portraying itself as the real thing despite the fact that its entire make-up consists of chemicals and food coloring (sugar and caffeine not withstanding). This is the concept of klipah, literally meaning "shell," in Kabbalah. In Kabbalistic terminology, klipah describes something that is a distraction or manipulation of the true goal. Just as a shell stands in the way of your attaining the purpose or goal you are pursuing (i.e., the fruit), so too, klipah stands in the way of your attaining the purpose or goal you are pursuing (i.e., relationship God).

Political Economy and Class Contradictions: A Study
Anmol Publications, Jan 1, 2004 - Bihar (India) - 315 pages
Despite The Potential Plenty, Rich Mineral Deposits, Fertile Alluvial Soil And Plentiful Ground Water, And Unrivalled Potential For Fast Economic Growth, Bihar Is A Typical Example Of Backward Political Economy. The Transformation Of Caste From A Sociological Category To A Form Of Political Expression Constitutes A Significant Development In Bihar.A Semi-Feudal Society Like Bihar Gives Rise To Ruthless Oppression, Violent Revolts And Resistance. Bihar Has A Long History Of Violence. But The Interclass Violence That Goes On Unabated In Rural Bihar Has Become An Issue That Attained National Impatience. The Brutal And Heinous Massacre Of The Poor People In Bihar Villages Has Shocked The Conscience Of The Nation. The Exploited Labouring Claws Have Begun To Organize Themselves Against The Landed Gentry. Equipped With New Class Consciousness The Weaker Sections Organized By The Radical Leftist Groups Began To Strike Back. The Land Owning Class Has Organized Private Armies Called Senas On Caste Lines To Protect Their Class Interests And Terrorise The Agitating Poor. The Conflict Between The Antagonistic Classes Led To Several Violent Clashes In Which Several People On Both Sides Lost Their Lives. This Economic Division Also Has A Caste Dimension And Accounts For The Large-Scale Killings That Seem To Take Place Routinely. In The Semi-Feudal, Caste-Ridden Agrarian Context, The Emergence Of The Radical Leftist Movements And The Caste Based Landlord Senas In Bihar Calls For An Indepth Study And Understanding. It Is Crucial That We Examine The Conflict Between The Two Sections Of The Rural Society In The Background Of The Rural Agrarian Political Economy. The Book Will Be An Interesting Study For The Political Scientists, Economists, Sociologists, Historians And General Readers As Well.

May 5, 2016
The Dallas Cowboys should know this drill by now.
The only thing left is figuring out how to win a playoffs-or-bust game at an NFC East rival in the final game of the season.
The Cowboys flopped badly in Philadelphia in 2008, and were better but still not very good last season at the New York Giants.
Dallas gets another chance Sunday night at Washington against Robert Griffin III and the Redskins (9-6), who could still make the postseason even if they lose.
The Cowboys (8-7) briefly lost control of their playoff fate with Sunday's 34-31 loss to New Orleans in overtime, but got it back when the Giants lost at Baltimore.
Dallas lost to the Redskins on Thanksgiving.

Step 1: Find a reference/inspiration map showing the style you like.
Neither reference nor inspiration is really the right word for this; it's somewhere in between. I usually use the word inspiration when I post, as reference implies copying. Using this method, you're never going to get an exact copy, so there is no need to be afraid of plagiarism. Got your inspiration map? Ok. As we go, I'll explain what to do with it.
Step 2. Make your coastline.
You can skip this step if you're making an inland regional map; I find that I have a really hard time with those unless I do a continent-level first, as all of the rules I follow go out the window if you can't see the shape of your landform.
So, take a long hard look at your inspiration map. How did they do the coastline? Is it a penstroke? How thick? Is it just a border between a dark sea and a light land that isn't actually stroked at all? Is that a woodcut, or just hatching? It takes a while and some practice to figure these out from looking at a piece, just take your best guess. As you look, you're forming instructions for what to do with your own coastline. Memorize these instructions as well as you can (do not write them down), then put away the reference map.
Now draw your coastline (if you want, you can do this in pencil and style it according to your instructions later). Remember the following: Coastlines have really jaggy spots and spots that are more smooth. Coastlines have lots of protrusions and inlets, and sometimes the protrusions shelter the inlets to make lagoons. The wikipedia articles under the category "coastal landforms" are priceless for getting an idea of the kinds of shapes that coastlines can make.
The coastline, as with most of what we're doing, is trial and error. Most times I'll start with a smooth shape, and then add in detail, erasing the smoothness as I go. Sometimes that takes two iterations before I'm happy with it.
Once you have the shape of your coastline set, style it with the instructions you memorized while looking at your inspiration map. Take your ink (it'll be ok, imperfection makes a map look good, not horrible) and take your best shot following your internal instructions. After you're done, open up (or take out of the drawer) your inspiration map and compare your map to it. Did you come close? If you're so far off that you hate what you made, start over --- but I find that usually I've come up with something my own that doesn't really look like the inspiration but I like it anyway. I think I subconsciously tweak those instructions to pick out what I like about the reference and discard what I don't like. That's why I never write them down.
Once you're happy with your coast, it's time to move on to mountains.


text: The quartering-away shot offers a clear path to the heart and lungs; and if it is on the right side, will travel through the liver as well. This will result in a very quick harvest of the animal. Though the aiming point at this angle is less than a broadside shot, this is still a good shot for a firearm or bow hunter.

I've got a bunch of ideas for this and in completely different genres and styles.
Thing popped up in my head and I'll drop it here before I forget I think it would be fun to do a challenge to make a map as a tribute to ones favorite book/movie/... maybe it's already been done as a challenge but I didnt find it in the archives... cheers

My Maps ~ My Brushes ~ My Tutorials ~ My Challenge Maps
Interesting you mention this, I just finished reading a book series, and went looking to see if I could find any fan-based maps here or anywhere else on the web - nothing!
So i'm pondering creating one (The author has a nice one already done, maybe that's why?) in a different style just for fun and practice..
And now this suggestion
My finished maps
"...sometimes the most efficient way to make something look drawn by hand is to simply draw it by hand..."
I wonder of doing a Louis Carrol's Alice in Wonderland would be a unique map to create, but it would mean reading it again, and I haven't read Alice in Wonderland since I was a kid - it would probably make for an interesting map, though.

MILF: Chances are pretty good you have no idea what that stands for. And we can't print it here. Suffice it to say that it's slang for "sexually attractive mom." But for best-selling author Jessica Porter, the phrase is much more - it's down right aspirational. In her new book, The MILF Diet, Porter asserts that ordinary moms can be transformed into MILF's by adhering to a macrobiotic diet. Kind of hazy on what that consists of? MPBN Morning Edition Host Irwin Gratz talked with Porter and has the lowdown.

But a lawyer for the family conceded Saturday that "It's not looking great" for the family of Avonte Oquendo.
Lawyer David Perecman (PEHR'-es-man) says the clothing found on the remains appears to match what the 14-year-old was wearing when he vanished after bolting from his Queens school.
The body parts were discovered Thursday in a secluded inlet.
Police returned to the Queens waterfront Saturday to gather more evidence.
Perecman said Avonte's family is waiting for DNA tests to determine whether the remains belong to the missing teen.

- Abstract
- There are plans within the Australian Capital Territory to place a youth worker in every government high school, while Victoria is considering blending the roles of youth workers, teachers and welfare officers. Tim Corney considers the possible consequences of these changes for the roles of youth workers and teachers and the implications for the relationship between these professions. He also questions the outcomes of these changes for students and young people.

PLAYN.COM Launches at Boxpark in London on July 25th
PLAYN, Frames And Lenses Straight From The Makers, is launching with a popup store at Boxpark in
London on July 25th.
Based on a design principle "80% plain and 20% play", PLAYN offers easy-to-wear eyewear with a
dash of "je ne sais quoi". On PLAYN.COM, people can browse the collection of 21 original styles and
play with a wide range of colour and coating options. Once an order is placed, the company then
ships straight out of the lenses lab in Bangkok. This one-stop distribution process – "Factory > Lab >
Doorstep" – reduces cost and environmental impact, leaving PLAYN with a bigger budget to produce
quality, premium lenses.
PLAYN is the brainchild of German designer Denis Beyer and entrepreneur Jonas Koblin, two school
friends who moved to Bangkok in 2004 at the age of 24. They started from scratch, doing design work
for international fashion labels, running Niche Nation, a luxury eyewear boutique and a distribution
company We Do Asia. After working in the industry for several years, the pair decided to create their
own label with the mission to fuse their passion for quality and design with the principles of a modern
supply chain. This allows them to offer handcrafted eyewear and custom options at a new,
competitive price point.
To reduce its environmental impact, PLAYN partners with the Carbonfund.org Foundation to offset its
carbon footprint and the PATT Foundation, a local non-profit organization, to plant a tree for every pair

Special Tree-Planting Honors Lather's Five Years CarbonFree®
Throughout 2013, Carbonfund.org will be recognizing our business partners who are reaching their fifth and sixth years as CarbonFree® Partners. Part of this recognition includes special tree-plantings, 10 for each partnership year, by Carbonfund.org in honor of each of these anniversary Partners.
The CarbonFree® Business Partnership and this special tree-planting commemoration augment the environmental responsibility that many of our business partners exhibit in their ongoing operations. One such partner, LATHER, producing skin care products that inspire a healthier more radiant life, maintains various sustainability initiatives as part of their environmental commitment.
LATHER offers its customers an in-store packaging recycling program and has pursued more environmentally sustainable plastic packaging made with EcoPure, an organic compound that accelerates natural biodegradation in plastics.
Since 2008, LATHER has partnered with Carbonfund.org to offset the carbon footprint of their corporate office. To date, LATHER has offset over 40,000 pounds of CO2 emissions through projects supporting renewable energy, methane destruction, and reforestation. This equates to the amount of carbon dioxide sequestered each year by almost 16 acres of US forests.
When notified of the 50 trees planted for their 2013 CarbonFree® anniversary, our friends at LATHER pointed out that the traditional five year anniversary theme is wood.
LATHER acknowledged the benefits of tree planting efforts and the wide range of ecosystem services that trees contribute, including their ability to:
- Produce oxygen - without which life would not be possible
- Absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, to mitigate climate change
- Improve local air and water quality by filtering pollutants
- Restore biodiversity while providing habitat and nutrition for wildlife
- Control flooding by minimizing runoff and topsoil loss
- Protect against storms such as Southeast Asia's monsoons and hurricanes in the Caribbean
- Help regulate water and nutrient cycles (e.g., phosphorous and nitrogen)
- Create jobs managing tree nurseries, planting and care
- Provide various aesthetical, spiritual and cultural benefits to local communities
We're proud to partner with LATHER to help them continue their commitment to environmental sustainability and to helping others lead a more radiant life.

Paula Wolfson, wtop.com
WASHINGTON – The Washington, D.C., area has been hit hard by colon cancer, but doctors are seeing the first faint signs of hope.
The region has the highest death rate in the country from colon cancer. While the incidence of colon cancer is coming down nationwide, that decrease has not been as evident in the D.C. area.
"The D.C. area is a hotbed for colorectal cancer," says Dr. John Marshall, director of the Ruesch Center for the Cure of Gastrointestinal Cancers at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital.
He suggests one contributing factor may be the area's low colon cancer screening rate.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website says D.C. and Maryland have some of the worst screening rates in the country, with Virginia faring only slightly better.
But Marshall says that is beginning to change.
"We are seeing more uptake in screening here in the D.C. area and we hope that translates into a fall in cancer mortality," he says.
Marshall says efforts to raise awareness of the disease are picking up steam, especially in March, which is Colon Cancer Awareness Month.
For colon cancer survivors like WTOP Morning Editor Mike Jakaitis, the entire month is a call to action.
"This month means a lot to me," he says. "That is why I am a real pain in the butt – pun intended – when it comes to people getting screened."
Jakaitis was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2006, at the age of 36. When he first showed symptoms, his wife tricked him into seeing their family doctor, who prescribed a colonoscopy on the spot.
He says he is now on a mission to convince others of the power of a colonoscopy to detect cancer early, when it is most curable.
"I am living proof," he says. "If I didn't get the colonoscopy, I wouldn't be here."
The CDC re commends regular screening starting at age 50 and continuing until 75, with a colonoscopy every 10 years and fecal occult blood tests annually. The CDC says those who have a higher risk can start earlier or be tested more frequently.
Those guidelines could change. Marshall says there has been a rise in cases involving younger patients like Jakaitis, whose colonoscopy came after he told his doctor about his initial symptoms.
The American Cancer Society says symptoms can range from a change in bowel habits to weakness and fatigue and even unintended weight loss.
Marshall says some patients have a strong family history, but many do not. He also notes that like heart disease, prevention is key.
"Physical activity, exercise and a high-fiber, low-fat diet actually prevent the disease," he says.
Jakaitis and thousands of other runners and walkers will be getting some extra physical activity on Sunday, March 24, when they will take to the streets of D.C. for the annual Scope it Out 5K Run/Walk for Colon Cancer Awareness.
The event is organized by Chris4Life, a foundation that supports colon cancer research and aims to spread awareness of the disease.
Check out the next group of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame plus a few contenders who've yet to be nominated.

The national Vaccines for Children (VFC) program was established to help raise childhood immunization rates in the United States and to keep children in their medical home. The entitlement program is associated with each State's Medicaid plan. Children who are eligible for VFC vaccines are entitled to receive pediatric vaccines that are recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
Virginia Vaccines for Children's (VVFC) program is managed by the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), Division of Immunization (DOI). Through utilization of private and public providers, the VVFC program and DOI reduce barriers to immunizations. DOI supplies federally and state purchased vaccine at no cost to public and private health care providers. The VVFC program handles distribution of all vaccines provided by DOI, in addition to those for the VFC entitlement program. DOI, through relationships with public providers is able to serve populations in addition to VVFC eligible, such as children needing immunizations for school, and limited vaccines for uninsured and underinsured adults. The vaccine supplied by the Division of Immunization is supplied at "no cost" to enrolled providers.
VVFC currently has over 900 facilities enrolled in the program as either a private facility or a public facility.
Eligibility for Vaccine Supplied by the Division of Immunization:
VVFC distributes vaccines to private and public providers free of charge. A provider may not charge for the vaccine itself, but is permitted to charge an administration fee.
If you have any questions about VVFC, please call 1-800-568-1929 or 1-804-864-8055.

United States Coast Guard Tug Boat Model
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) is one of seven different branches in the armed services of America. It was established on August 4, 1790, by Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton and from that day forth has kept the waters off the shores of the Untied States secure. Matter of fact, the USCG is the United States' oldest continuously operating seagoing service. Presently, the Coast Guide functions under the Department of Homeland Security during peacetime, and serves primarily to carry out maritime safety, security, and stewardship. Also, the USCG is one of the only divisions of the U.S. military that has the authority to undertake missions both domestically and abroad. This becomes obvious when it is the Coast Guard who often responds when an SOS call is sent out from a ship in distress.
Tug Boat From The USCG
Since the United States Coast Guard is charged with the double duty of protecting the waters inside and outside of the United States, they employ a variety of ships. Yet, one of the most versatile and visible ships in the Coast Guards fleet is the USCG tugboat. More often than not, it is the Coast Guard who must tow ashore distressed ships that can no longer navigate under their own power. Thus, the tugboat is the best possible tool for making sure that damaged ships are able to reach shore safely. Furthermore, it is the Coast Guard's tugboat that bears the responsibility for towing out to sea larger ships that patrol the oceans, including naval destroyers. Seeing that the USCG's tugboat is one of the hardest working and most recognizable ships in the armed services of the United States, why not include it as part of your model ship collection?
Creating A Perfect United States Coast Guard Tug Boat Replica
Fortunately, Handcrafted Model Ships (HMS) has undertaken the task of fabricating an incredibly accurate replica of the CG's tugboat. This way, not only will members of the Coast Guard and their friends and family seek to own HMS's Coast Guard tugboat, but serious model ship collectors will as well. The tugboat was constructed as an exact 1:35 scale model relative to the actual boat the Coast Guard employs. Moreover, HMS built its USCG tugboat replica using the official plans and pictures of the tugboats that serve today. Finally, the replica was painstakingly painted to the same specs as the real boat. As always, the model ship comes fully assembled and ready to be displayed with a complementary base-stand.
The USCG Tug Boat Model Makes A Special Addition To Any Collection
No model ship collector or maritime enthusiast should be without the Untied States Coast Guard Tug Boat replica. It brings together an invaluable American military ship with the excellence in model shipbuilding that only Handcrafted Model Ships provides. As our customers already know, ordering could not be easier, and the USCG tugboat will arrive at your door looking just as it does on the website and ready to be admired. Order today and own a United States Coast Guard keepsake.

I like everything, except for the shadows. They indicate that the sun is high in the nrothern sky, and this jars the most for me with the majority of some maps. Living in a northern hemisphere, and most campaign worlds depicting a northern hemisphere (Exception is the continent of Ansalon for Dragonlance which is in the southern Hemipshere), most shadows should point to the top of a page.
Again, this a critique and a suggestion. If the shadows would be adjusted to point north (indicating a Sun in the sourthern Sky), this would eliminate the disconnect with the map, and make it much nicer.

After months of anticipation and preparation, ArtPrize, a citywide art competition in Grand Rapids, Mich., opened its polls on Sept. 23. The colossal undertaking includes 1,262 pieces of art displayed in 159 venues around the city, including restaurants, storefronts, vacant warehouses, parking lots, pedestrian bridges and parks.
Unlike a juried art competition, ArtPrize - a new endeavor for the city - is entirely democratic. Entry was open to all, provided an artist could secure a Grand Rapids venue, and the winners (who receive generous cash awards) will be chosen by popular crowd vote. And, yeah, ArtPrize has drawn plenty of comparisons to American Idol.
The competition drew entries from around the world, with the heaviest concentration naturally coming from Michigan. I've been casually monitoring the contest's progression since its announcement early this spring and a cursory glance reveals that quite a few Florida residents are participating in the competition, including Liesa Robarge of Big Pine Key, Robert Lebron of Viera and Eric Elliot of Naples, among others.
Full disclosure: I first heard about ArtPrize because I lived in Grand Rapids for six years before moving to South Florida this past January. The project interests me, in part, because it has utterly transformed and overtaken my former hometown, but primarily because it has started a massive conversation about art.
It's also worth noting - in light of Kelli Bodle's recent Perspectives entry about the decline in mainstream and traditional resources for arts journalism - that ArtPrize and art have consistently made headlines in West Michigan in the months leading up to the implementation of this project. Does this coverage focus more on the "hype," than scholarly critique? Sure. But how else would a (mostly) positive story about the state-of-the-arts get such press coverage?
Without seeing the execution of ArtPrize in person, it's difficult, if not impossible, to formulate a fair and accurate judgment of the success of the event or of the overall quality of the entries. Regardless, one can certainly contemplate the larger, more universal questions raised by the project, such as:
What qualifies someone to be an artist? What constitutes art?
Is the general public capable of choosing "the best" entry from the hundreds of options?
Does such a contest - in which voters can cast votes via Twitter and the like - cheapen art, or does it serve to heighten the importance of art in everyday life?
I can see why the event has attracted some naysayers, but it's hard to look down on something that has the power to motivate lots of people to create, look at, experience, talk about and think about art. Granted, the quality of the individual entries might be all over the place, but would people's time be better spent at home, with the latest episode of Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami instead of exploring a city and viewing lots of art?
What are your thoughts on an open art competition of this nature? Please feel free to leave comments below. We're especially curious to hear what artists have to say about ArtPrize and the notion of voting for the "best" piece.

As Jonah Weiner of Slate Magazine notes, we've seen a sharp decrease in journalism dedicated to arts criticism, of the
non-blogging variety. Mr. Weiner writes specifically about why music mags are
fading from view, which, I sheepishly admit, I hadn't really noticed. Like many
others, I let my subscriptions to Spin
and Rolling Stone lapse, content to
pay the stand price if I saw a particularly interesting story advertised on the
front cover. The folding of Vibe and Blender are echoes of the larger state
of arts journalism as a whole; musical, visual and otherwise.
Which is why The National Arts Journalism Summit is so important.
On October 2, art writers from around the world will meet at
UCLA to develop new and sustainable models of arts journalism. New business
models and innovative practices will be presented and explained so that the
writing community as a whole may review and consider implementing them. This is
the first time that the Summit will meet and I have high hopes for the results.
It gives me great pleasure to see those in the arts community banding together
to keep a very necessary part of the art world - reflection and writing about
current events and practices - alive.
One of my very favorite writers, András Szántó, who until
recently led the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University, wrote
an article for the Art Newspaper called, "With Newspapers in Terminal Decline, What Future for
Arts Journalism?"
He very succinctly outlines some exciting options for the
future of arts journalism and ends his incisive essay with this:
Amid the gloom and doom about arts journalism,
innovations offer a glimmer of hope.
There is no going back to the
cultural and advertising dominance that newspapers once
enjoyed. We should be mindful that the emerging
landscape offers asymmetrical
odds for art criticism (which
can survive by the labour of individual writers) and
arts reporting (which requires institutional
firepower and protections). Writers
will struggle to reclaim the
access and influence they achieved with the backing of
prestigious journalism
brands. Even so, the faint outlines of a
new system are starting
to emerge.
While I will mourn
the slow death of the printed word, I look forward to the future of the
pixilated one.
One of the bonuses of working at, or being involved with, an art institution, is the opportunity to meet artists and talk to them about motivation, technique and inspiration - ideally without resorting to the dreaded "But what does it all mean?"
When the Boca Raton Museum of Art hosts exhibition openings for living artists, we often are privileged with the presence of those artists at the Member and Patron receptions. This gives the Museum Members, guests and staff a chance to gain a deeper understanding of the artists' works and to put a face with the work, so to speak.
Two of the three featured artists - photographer Stephen Althouse and painter Gary T. Erbe - attended the September opening reception for the Museum's fall exhibitions. Clyde Butcher, a renowned, Florida-based landscape photographer, was hosting his annual swamp walk that night and was unable to attend the opening reception. He will, however, visit the Museum on October 3 for a seminar and book-signing.
The day after the opening reception, Althouse and Erbe returned to the Museum for a morning talk with Museum docents. These docent tours provide "inside information" for Museum docents, who in turn, pass along the knowledge to Museum guests.
(L-R: Photographer Stephen Althouse talks to Museum Docents; painter Gary T. Erbe during a morning Docent tour)
Below are a few notes from the docent tours:
Stephen Althouse: Tools and Shrouds
Althouse discussed the large black-and-white images of Stephen Althouse: Tools and Shrouds. The images are stunning, stark compositions of cold steel implements juxtaposed with textured cloth. In explanation of his work, Althouse emphasized that he doesn't strive to assign "religious dogma, story or social commentary" to his photographs, but concedes that the viewer might ascribe such a meaning based upon his or her own interpretations.
Althouse also said of the images that "(they are) contrived and controlled work...(They represent) personal thoughts and emotions, expressed in a private way." Althouse said there is "no real overt story or message for these photographs."
A close look at some of the pieces in Tools and Shrouds reveals subtle details such as a Braille inscription on the handle of a tool. Althouse declined to give the translation for the letters, as well as a translation of a German inscription on another photograph, saying that the revelation of such literary details is very nearly always a disappointment to the viewer. Althouse chooses to protect "the power and mystery of not knowing" the literal translations of symbols within a work.
Erbe, who attended Althouse's tour with the docents, said of Althouse's technique; "it elevates (the works) to Abstract."
Painter Gary T. Erbe comments during Stephen Althouse's docent tour.
Gary T. Erbe: Forty-Year Retrospective
After Althouse's presentation, the docents and various Museum staff were treated to a tour with Erbe, a self-taught artist who initially had an exhibition at the Museum when it was at its original location on Palmetto Park (now the site of the Art School of the Boca Raton Museum of Art).
Erbe is known for his trompe l'oeil paintings of pop culture artifacts and assemblages. He taught himself how to paint at a young age, by looking at his work, analyzing it and seeing what could be improved. After four years of honing his craft, he became self-employed as a painter.
Early in his career, Erbe developed his own method of painting, which he dubbed "levitational realism." The style "removes objects from their settings" to create a new idea. Erbe had great success with this unique style.
The artist also shared the story of his first significant sale to a collector. Erbe was stationed at an outdoor art show. At literally the eleventh hour of the show, Erbe was approached - as he said, "on the street" - by a collector, who bought a painting for $4000, a somewhat arbitrary figure that Erbe plucked from the air. The collector, clearly a fan of Erbe, bought the painting and approximately 40 more throughout the years. Erbe incidentally never again worked at an outdoor art show.
As we move along in the 2009-2010 season, we are anticipating more educational events with artists, such as Clyde Butcher and Enrique Martinez Celaya, whose exhibition will be unveiled on November 17, 2009.
What artist(s) living or dead, would you want to listen to talk about his or her art? What kinds of questions would you ask?
On June 4, 2009 the Smithsonian art blog Eye Level posted an entry, "Isadora Duncan," written by Howard Kaplan. I found that some items in the Smithsonian - which incidentally celebrates its 163rd birthday today - collection dovetail with those in ours. The combination of items and the histories behind them help to recreate a microcosm of the art world from the early twentieth century. Let's consider:
First, Kaplan describes some sketches created by Abraham Walkowitz of American ballet dancer/modern dance icon Isadora Duncan. The featured image on Eye Level shows a figure in a red tunic gaily dancing across a stage, her hair flowing behind her jubilant body.
We have in our collection, a watercolor of Isadora Duncan by Walkowitz titled Isadora Duncan (Yellow Toga). She stands, back curved in towards her body with arms out and yellow fabric draped and falling to the floor.
Abraham Walkowitz (American, born Tyumen, Siberia 1878 - 1965), Isadora Duncan (Yellow Toga), 1909, watercolor on paper, 9 ¾ x 8 inches. Permanent Collection 2002.095. Gift of Mr. Sid Deutsch.
I imagine if one were to see a whole suite of these watercolors together they would create a series dedicated to dance poses and costuming. Howard goes on to explain that the Grecian tunic was Duncan's clothing of choice and that Edward Steichen had photographed her in Greece wearing said tunics during the 1920s.
Currently on exhibit in Camera Work: Photography from the Permanent Collection, we have an array of photographs by Edward Steichen, and one striking photograph in particular, of Auguste Rodin from 1903. The photogravure (pictured below) demonstrates Steichen's Pictorialist period, showing Rodin's dark silhouette posed in sober meditation, similar to his sculpture The Thinker (Le Penseur), against the half-tones of the plaster cast Hugo statue in the background.
Edward Steichen (American, born Luxembourg 1879 - 1973), Rodin, 1903, gum photogravure, 18 3/8 x 6 3/8 inches. Permanent Collection 2007.5.113. Bequest of Isadore and Kelly Friedman
This photograph was featured in Volume Two of Alfred Stieglitz's magazine Camera Work, for which our exhibit is titled. Edward Steichen was quite a prolific photographer during the start of the century and busied himself both before and after World War I with photographing prominent people in the art and fashion worlds (in addition to the straight style of photography centered around city life).
Which brings us to another interesting point; Steichen's photograph of Rodin solidifies the link that Eye Level's Kaplan made about the circle of people that gathered at Alfred Stieglitz's studio, 291 Gallery in Manhattan. Kaplan goes on to explain that Walkowitz met Duncan at Rodin's studio in Paris and went on to create the colorful watercolors, two of which are in our and the Smithsonian's collections.
A tight little coterie has emerged through the study of both art and history, as demonstrated by the items collected and studied at both the Smithsonian and the Boca Museum. It seems that Rodin was the common link between Steichen, Duncan and Walkowitz for some time during the early 1900s.
I'm always intrigued when people whom I admire were all acquaintances. It sets me to wondering about the amazing experiences and conversations they must have had.
As some of you may be aware, hurricane season is upon us in South Florida and we are readying our sculpture garden for the possibility of storms. To start, we are taking down the hanging sculpture Celestial Presence by Dorothy Gillespie. Although the individual pieces are made of sturdy aluminum and can be bent easily back into shape if a strong wind hit them, they are strung up next to the windows with fishing line which could create any number of problems with tangling or colliding with the glass.
Dorothy Gillespie, Celestial Presence, 2007, polychrome painted and shaped-cut aluminum, 25 x 20 x 12 feet. Permanent Collection 2007.20. Gift of the Dorothy Gillespie Foundation, Inc.
How do we safely store these works of art? First, the fishing line that is strung horizontally between the hanging columns of sculptural elements is cut. The placement of the horizontal fishing line is needed so that the individual pieces hang in straight columns and do not get tangled with one another.
After that, the Facilities staff, Robin Archible and John Finewood, take down one hanging column of the shaped aluminum pieces at a time and wrap each piece separately. John is raised up in the boom lift and slowly lowers the line so that Archie can receive and wrap each piece in bubble wrap. They are then placed in large storage crates to await reinstallation in the fall. It takes about three days to complete the process.
John releasing the line.
John lowering the sculpture to Archie, waiting with roll of bubble wrap.
Final product: wrapped pieces ready for storage.
Once a hurricane warning is announced for the Boca Raton area, we take additional measures to ensure the safety of the sculptures in the garden. Depending on how the season shapes up, you may see more entries dedicated to hurricane preparedness but we will keep our fingers crossed that you won't!

To say Ronald Darby owns world-class speed is more statement of fact than recruiting hyperbole. The sprinter skills of this 5-foot-11, 172-pound athlete from Oxon Hill, Md., took him to Japan earlier this month, but make no mistake, this is a football player first. Notre Dame agrees. So does Florida and Penn State. Darby knows exactly where he wants to apply that speed on the field. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Since I should have the gamer-printshop ecommerce site up this week, I thought that a way to celebrate its reopening, I'd sponsor a prize contest.
In the past map challenges have been focused on maps for Virtual Tabletop, which is great as more and more users are playing with VT apps. However, my area of expertise is digital printing.
How about a contest (venue up to CL's or other Challenge Ideas) where the final map is intended for print at 300 dpi at 24" x 36".
Whoever wins the challenge, I will print and ship at my expense the winning map to the winner. If that means Torq wins, I'll ship his entry at 24 x 36 to South Africa - at my cost.
Just an idea, thoughts?

(AP) -- The criminal case of a slain German socialite and journalist has taken another odd twist that throws the trial into question.
The fasting prompted a judge this week to indefinitely postpone the trial, which was scheduled to start this coming Monday in D.C. Superior Court. A doctor said Muth was too weak to be brought to court, and prosecutors and defense lawyers agreed that it wasn't feasible for him to participate remotely from his hospital bed.
The 48-year-old Muth is charged in the death of Viola Drath, a 91-year-old journalist. He's denied guilt.

So my thoughts are.... that no matter what you are about to do (wash the dishes) or where you are going (yoga class/the gym)
"DRESS UP"! That can mean anything. But my first rule is whatever you put on (the piece of clothing, the particular color or an accessory) it MUST FEEL "RIGHT" for you. Check in with yourself and be honest..."is this what I want to feel like; is this what I want to present to the world as ME today?" If not, change, take something off, or add another layer or accessory. Don't THINK too much. Let your eyes and your body lead you and trust it.
TAKE all BLACK clothing and put them in the rear of your closet...use BLACK as an accent. It really works as an accent, it adds depth...also WHITE adds expansion!
Most of all have fun and play.
Enjoy the day!
With playful affection,
