Akimblog - Sebastien Aubin at the University of Manitoba School of Art Gallery. Sébastien Aubin’s no brighter in the middle at the University of Manitoba School of Art Gallery follows in the tradition of re-presenting found (and inherited) things as art.

Included in his assortment of seemingly disparate objects are also fabricated works like a reflective piece that shows you the ground beneath your feet and a scroll of wall-mounted, all caps text written in syllabics that translates to “THE TRUTH.” Seeing as Aubin is a designer by trade who seeks to make objects for specific uses, his artworks are abstracted by the sheer fact that they don’t do what they were destined to; instead, they are arranged in frames, vacuumed sealed, disguised as something else, or sometimes just sit on the gallery floor as though awaiting another potential life.

What Creates an Artist’s Resale Market

Take, for instance, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s Warrior (1982), which was sold three times in seven years, its price climbing 450 percent to $9 million between 2005 and 2012. Or consider collector François Pinault’s coup at Christie’s last year when an Adrian Ghenie painting he bought in 2008—just as the Romanian artist’s career was starting to heat up—sold for $9 million, over $8 million more than its estimate. Pinault, a billionaire French businessman (and Christie’s owner), probably didn’t need that kind of pocket change. But maybe it got you thinking you might try your hand at buying and selling art, too. If you were planning on paying off your student loans by buying the latest work from an emerging artist and selling it for multiples of the purchase price, prepare to be disappointed. The most direct route to a secondary market is through visibility and exposure, said industry experts.

That historical nugget is merely a springboard for an exercise in high camp, one that includes a sort of psychedelic nude ballet and a didactic explanation of racial divisions that uses ice cream as a defining metaphor.

There are no rules about what to put in a sketchbook, or about who gets to make one, so contributions from first-time artists and children sit alongside the work of professional illustrators and painters, some of whom contribute to the project once a year as a way to blow off steam or try something new. Some tell stories—recently on display in the library was a picture-book tribute, carefully painted in cheery colors, in memory of the artist’s best friend, who had died. Others function more like diaries or collages, like a particularly popular sketchbook documenting the internal landscape of a woman’s body as she underwent chemotherapy... The sketchbooks feature architectural diagrams, extraordinarily detailed watercolors, depressing doodles, lists of favorite songs and ex-lovers, white-on-white cutouts, and on and on.

A Moment for the Selk'nam by Chris Nelson The Selk'nam lived in the remote southernmost tip of South America among the islands now known as Tierra del Fuego, the continent's last tribe to be encountered by European explorers.

A Moment for the Selk'nam

Subsequently slaughtered to extinction by ranchers, the Selk'nam are remembered primarily for their elaborate male-initiation rituals, or Hain, whereby the young men of the tribe were ushered into adulthood. Here's how the ceremony played out. Adolescent males were beckoned to a dark hut, where they were brutally attacked by vengeful spirits, who were really elder tribesmen body-painted and dressed in supernatural costume. The Hain, which sometimes lasted months, also involved tests of courage, resourcefulness, resisting temptation and pain, and overcoming fear, as well as instruction for their new adult responsibilities. The last and comparatively small Hain took place about a century ago, photographed by the missionary Martin Gusinde.

Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker. When Leonard Cohen was twenty-five, he was living in London, sitting in cold rooms writing sad poems. He got by on a three-thousand-dollar grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. This was 1960, long before he played the festival at the Isle of Wight in front of six hundred thousand people. In those days, he was a Jamesian Jew, the provincial abroad, a refugee from the Montreal literary scene.

The Future of Art According to Hans Ulrich Obrist. The 89plus project which I co-founded and co-curate with Simon Castets investigates the first generation to have grown up with the internet—a generation that currently makes up half of the world’s population, and whose voices are only now beginning to be heard.

The project is not about predicting or creating the future, but rather about bringing practitioners in different fields together through panels, books, periodicals, exhibitions, and residencies to share their insights and ideas. Thousands of artists across the world have answered our open call, uploading information about their respective projects to our platform. Cent mécènes offrent un Joyau royal à leur ville.

Agnes Martin, a Matter-of-Fact Mystic. The abstract painter Agnes Martin died in 2004, at the age of ninety-two, and a new retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum affirms that the greatness of her work has only amplified in the years since. That’s something of a surprise: no setting would seem less congenial to the strict angles of Martin’s paintings than the curves of Frank Lloyd Wright’s creamy seashell. I also worried that the work’s repetitive formulas—grids and stripes, mostly gray or palely colored, often six feet square—would add aesthetic fatigue to the mild toll of a hike up the ramp.

But the show’s challenges to contemplation and stamina turn out to intensify a deep, and deepening, sense of the artist’s singular powers. Ai weiwei: “it’s not about the work, it’s about saying something” It seems very en vogue in the art world to express a distaste for a contemporary artist like Ai Weiwei. Is he feted for the context of his life, instead of his work? If the refugee crisis ever ends, will anyone remember the red PVC lifeboats hanging at the facade of Ai Weiwei's new retrospective in Florence? What longevity does a portrait made of lego have? Or the artist photographic himself swearing at The White House?

Master of Design (MDes) Why pursue a Master of Design? The two-year Master of Design program provides an opportunity for students to broaden their theoretical knowledge of design and focus on innovative research in the areas of visual communication, the built environment, interaction design and design studies. The MDes program offers a stimulating and creative environment in which students are encouraged to explore conceptual and theoretical issues through a project-based or academic research.

In contrast to traditional design education in which disciplines such as graphic or industrial design are segmented and separated, the program identifies and synthesizes connections between the visual, the built, and the interactive so that integrated, experimental and collaborative aspects of design practice emerge. Des estampes pour tous les goûts. La neuvième édition de la Biennale internationale d’estampe contemporaine de Trois-Rivières (BIECTR), qui se tiendra du 21 juin au 6 septembre, étend encore un peu son empreinte mondiale en accueillant 300 oeuvres de 50 artistes venus de 26 pays.

Les cinq continents y sont toujours représentés. Cette diversité des provenances reflète aussi la variété des approches du monde de l’estampe dont la manifestation veut rendre compte. Si la BIECTR privilégie les techniques classiques comme la lithographie, la sérigraphie, les linogravures et les eaux-fortes, elle est totalement ouverte aux approches hybrides qui se répandent.
