Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong | The Walt Disney Family Museum August 15–February 3, 2014 From August 15, 2013 to February 3, 2014, The Walt Disney Family Museum will present the exhibition Water to Paper, Paint to Sky: The Art of Tyrus Wong. Organized by Michael Labrie, the museum’s director of collections, the exhibition will focus on the life and work of Chinese-American artist Tyrus Wong—a celebrated painter, muralist, kite maker, lithographer, Hollywood sketch artist, calligrapher, ceramicist, and Disney Legend. At age 102, Wong is still a practicing artist today. This retrospective features more than 150 works including paintings, sculptures, works on paper, painted scarves, kites, and more. In 1938, Wong took a job at the Walt Disney Studios as an inbetweener, one who goes through the tedious process of making “in-between” drawings that filled out the movement of the characters between the animators’ key drawings. In 2001, Wong was named a Disney Legend, and his work continues to inspire and influence the leading animators of today.

John Frame - Portland Art Museum Three Fragments of a Lost Tale Art, music, poetry, and film come together in John Frame’s ambitious project The Tale of the Crippled Boy. The end goal of this ongoing project is a feature-length collection of animated and live film vignettes. Since 2006, Frame, a California-based sculptor, has been working toward the creation of a stop-motion animated drama featuring an eclectic cast of fully articulated characters composed of found materials and meticulously carved wood. The exhibition will include the sculptures that have become the cast of characters in Frame’s evolving full-length film, as well as the film footage created thus far in this monumental project. To learn more about John Frame, visit www.johnframesculpture.com/portland. Originally organized by the Huntington Library, Art Collections, and Botanical Gardens; the exhibition is curated by Bruce Guenther, chief curator for its Portland presentation. Sponsored in part by The McGeady Family Foundation.

For One Artist, Colorblindness Opened Up A World Of Black And White Peter Milton often includes famous artists in his work.

At the time, Milton was teaching at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, and he'd had a show of some of his paintings.

This Crazy Visual Symphony Is Like Being Inside a Computer, on Drugs The performance is scripted, but the performers on stage add their own flavor to the proceedings, like a musical performer. Ryoji Ikeda Microfiche, crossword puzzles, and Morse Code don’t sound like the makings of a compelling live performance, but in the hands of Japanese maestro Ryoji Ikeda, these mundane materials become the core of a dynamic audio-visual spectacle called Superposition. The hour-long performance is something like a high-tech rave with a year’s worth of high-school science class schizophrenically drawn upon as its raw material. Ikeda is best known for his experimental musical compositions with cryptic titles like +/-. Though it’s driven by software, Superposition is meant to be a human experience. Garin and Grould control Ikeda’s work through custom made “instruments.” A morse code key is repurposed as an artful instrument. Superposition artfully combines human and machine capabilities.

Tarkovsky Films Now Free Online Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-1986) firmly positioned himself as the finest Soviet director of the post-War period. But his influence extended well beyond the Soviet Union. The Cahiers du cinéma consistently ranked his films on their top ten annual lists. Ingmar Bergman went so far as to say, "Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream." Shot between 1962 and 1986, Tarkovsky's seven feature films often grapple with metaphysical and spiritual themes, using a distinctive cinematic style. You can now watch Tarkovsky's films online – for free. NOTE: If you access the films via YouTube, be sure to click "CC" at the bottom of the videos to access the subtitles.

Antoine Guilloppé Aujourd’hui, on va se taire, si si ! On se tait et on écoute, il y a quelqu’un qui nous raconte une histoire… Une chronique en deux parties (la suite sera demain) une nouvelle fois en chronique croisée avec Maman Baobab (parce qu’on aime ça !). Il y a une nouvelle dans la boîte à joujoux. Mademoiselle Chouchou est une jolie poupée de porcelaine et en la voyant le maire et Polichinelle se sentent troublés. Mais c’est surtout le soldat de plomb numéro 7 qui perd ses moyens quand il croise son chemin, et voilà qu’il s’arrête en plein défilé, causant une sacrée pagaille ! Une amie m’avait conseillé ce livre-CD en me disant que c’était l’un de ses plus gros coups de cœur en littérature jeunesse… je n’ai absolument pas été déçu ! Et en parlant de chouchou… C’est une belle journée, une journée idéale pour être dans le jardin et ça tombe bien, Bulle et Bob doivent planter des tomates cerise. On reste d’ailleurs avec Praline Gay-Para… Un tout petit garçon nommé Ti Moun voulait devenir grand.

UbuWeb Grant Morrison’s 18 Days | Graphic India From Grant Morrison, the acclaimed writer of Batman, and superstar artist, Mukesh Singh comes “18 Days”, the story of three generations of super- warriors, meeting for the final battle of their age. 18 Days is a re-imagining of the great myth, the Mahabharata and follows the course of the climactic war that concludes the age of the gods and begins the age of man. 18 DAYS is the prototype for every war ever fought. The scale is epic, wherein the biggest armies ever conceived of face one another across the ultimate battlefield to decide the fate of the future. “The War begins with the clash of super-titans, armed with incredible weaponry. “Bhima is the tank of the team, with the appetite to match his size. “A Psychedelic Lord of the Rings with Star Wars technology” – Huffington Post “Readers are immediately cast into the inner workings of Morrison’s mind and there is little time to take pause and reorient oneself.
