David Lynch
David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American film director, television director, visual artist, musician and occasional actor. Known for his surrealist films, he has developed a unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", a style characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. The surreal, and in many cases, violent, elements contained within his films have been known to "disturb, offend or mystify" audiences.[2] Over his career, Lynch has received three Academy Award nominations[3] for Best Director and a nomination for best screenplay. Lynch has won France's César Award for Best Foreign Film twice, as well as the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival[4] and a Golden Lion award for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival.

G. K. Chesterton Early life[edit] G.K. Chesterton at the age of 17. Born in Campden Hill in Kensington, London, Chesterton was baptized at the age of one month into the Church of England,[8] though his family themselves were irregularly practising Unitarians.[9] According to his autobiography, as a young man Chesterton became fascinated with the occult and, along with his brother Cecil, experimented with Ouija boards. Family life[edit] Chesterton married Frances Blogg in 1901; the marriage lasted the rest of his life. Career[edit] Chesterton loved to debate, often engaging in friendly public disputes with such men as George Bernard Shaw,[13] H. Visual wit[edit] Chesterton usually wore a cape and a crumpled hat, with a swordstick in hand, and a cigar hanging out of his mouth. Radio[edit] In 1931, the BBC invited Chesterton to give a series of radio talks. The talks were very popular. Death and veneration[edit] Writing[edit] Chesterton's writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour.

Unique Value Project Idea: The Sketchbook Project - Art Cool Websites Personal Progress Unique Service or Value Project Ideas - art divine nature value project idea individual worth value project idea lds young women Personal Progress sketchbook project v If you’re looking for a unique Value Project idea, check out The Sketchbook Project. Whether you’re an established artist or a working mom with scant artistic ability (ahem) or a young woman looking for a fun way to complete a Personal Progress requirement, I’m telling you, this is a fantastic idea. Here’s how it works. You pick a theme and order a sketchbook. They mail it to you. You fill it with art, doodles or what have you. Your sketchbook will go on tour. Your sketchbook can be checked out at the sketchbook library. Your sketchbook gets its own bar code so you can see who’s looking at it. Now, how is that not completely awesome? You don’t have to be an “artist” to participate. I’m thinking this would make for a great Divine Nature or Individual Worth Value Project idea. Here’s a sampling of past sketchbook art: everything is the same, by Wendy Cook And Suddenly…#23, by Nicolas Healy (see, boys can do it too!)

Ray Bradbury Gallery History | Victoria Miro Victoria Miro Victoria Miro first opened her gallery in Cork Street, Mayfair in 1985. The gallery quickly earned acclaim for showing the work of established and emerging artists from the USA, Europe and Asia, and for nurturing the careers of young artists from the UK. In 2000 Victoria Miro Gallery relocated to a sensitively converted, 8,000-square-foot former furniture factory situated between Hoxton and Islington in northeast London. With exhibition spaces on two floors, the gallery is almost unique in London for having its own garden, a beautiful landscaped area overlooking a restored stretch of the Regent's Canal at Wenlock Basin which has been used to great effect for installations by gallery artists such as Yayoi Kusama. In October 2006 the gallery expanded further by opening Victoria Miro 14, a 9,000-square-foot exhibition and viewing space open to the public for special exhibitions and projects.

NY Arts Magazine - Home Sophie Calle Sophie Calle (born 1953) is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist.[1] Calle's work is distinguished by its use of arbitrary sets of constraints, and evokes the French literary movement of the 1960s known as Oulipo. Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability, and examines identity and intimacy. She is recognized for her detective-like ability to follow strangers and investigate their private lives. Her photographic work often includes panels of text of her own writing. Since 2005 Sophie Calle has taught as a professor of film and photography at European Graduate School in Saas-Fee, Switzerland.[1] She has lectured at the University of California, San Diego in the Visual Arts Department.[2] She has also taught at Mills College in Oakland, California.

2008 February 18 « Ground Glass The blogosphere is full of ‘best of’ lists and rankings. The blog is a perfect venue for this type of information. So I thought it would be nice to create a women in the history of photography list. I rarely read an interview where a photographer, male or female, cites a woman as an influence. I often wish I had more female mentorship and inspiration, but I guess it is out there if you are willing to look.
