John Carey Challenges Ideas About Art at The City Club Last Friday

Submitted by Evelyn Kiefer on Tue, 01/24/2006 - 23:38.

What good are the arts? As the curator of a local sculpture collection, its a question I ask myself everyday. So I was very eager to hear what John Carey had to say in his address Friday, January 20th at The City Club of Cleveland. Carey, an emeritus professor of English at Oxford University, a noted author, book reviewer and public intellectual spoke about his controversial book published in 2005 titled What Good are the Arts. His talk was well organized and based upon a series of questions he asked himself when he began writing his book. The book is based on Carey's own careful conclusions and thorough knowledge of the many theories on the role of art.

LET'S CREDIT ARTISTS

Submitted by Jeff Buster@rea... on Tue, 01/17/2006 - 23:48.

 

The Detroit Superior Veterans Bridge in Cleveland has had a facelift recently with the addition of  “public art” objects – including this complicated heliotropic photovoltaic powered “sunflower” by Don Harvey - but the artists don’t have their names anywhere in sight  along the sidewalk across the bridge.  That’s an oversight which needs correcting.

Peter Mollenkof was born in Philadelphia but has spent much of his career in Tokoyo, Japan as an art historian and art critic. The subjects of his drawings take inspiration from flora and fauna, outer space, microscopic organisms and the human body. There is a tension between naturalism and the unnatural in his subjects that seem to hover in ambiguous spaces.
