SUNDAY ART BITE: JOHN CURRIN
"A dizzying feat that makes every picture seem wholesome and evil at the same time". Michael Kimmelman.
"More than any artist I know, J.C. exempliflies theproductive struggle between self-confidence and self-doubt" Calvin Tomkins, The New Yorker.
"Often, I find myself attracted to ideas that are ill-advised and bad. It's not because I want to shock people or show how open-minded I am, but for some reason stupidity is a theme for me in painting and I find it liberating... I don't know why, but I feel freer. But perhaps there is some need I have to redeem this silliness with something really solemn and sombre and beautiful."John Currin.

BASQUIAT
Tamara Davis' Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child, with great interviews with Fab 5 Freddy, Julian Schnabel, and other pivotal art figures of NYC in the 1980s, is being hailed as the definitive Basquiat documentary, and to us was our favorite art film of 2010. It presented Basquiat as a larger than life artist, but also as just a man inside the legend. Davis did her friend the ultimate justice by honoring him with a timeless portrait. |
A TRIP TO THE MOON DEPARTS FROM CANNES
| Tonight, the 2011 Cannes Film Festival will open the festivities with a screening of a color-restored version of the groundbreaking 1902 Georges Méliès’ film, A Trip to the Moon. The film is widely considered to be the first science-fiction film. Made in 1902 when McKinley was president of the United States and Émile Loubet was the French Pres, was silent and black and white. And it was only about 11 minutes long, and it is still better than almost any film made today. Although you could say, "Wow, they spent a whole lot of money to restore something that was perfectly fine in black and white," this will probably be the highlight of Cannes. |

NEW CLEAN ENERGY
The process, loosely based on plant photosynthesis, uses solar energy to split water into hydrogen and oxygen gases. When needed, the gases can then be re-combined in a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity whether the sun is shining or not.
According to project leader Prof. Daniel Nocera, “This is the nirvana of what we’ve been talking about for years. Solar power has always been a limited, far-off solution. Now, we can seriously think about solar power as unlimited and soon.”
Nocera has also explained that the process (video) uses natural materials, is inexpensiveeasy to set up. “That’s why I know this is going to work. It’s so easy to implement,” he said. to conduct and is
Other prominent scientists in the field have rushed to highlight the revolutionary potential of the new process. According to James Barber, biochemistry professor at Imperial College London, this research is a ‘giant leap’ towards generating clean, carbon-free energy on as massive scale. In a statement, he also said:
“This is a major discovery with enormous implications for the future prosperity of humankind. The importance of their discovery cannot be overstated since it opens up the door for developing new technologies for energy production, thus reducing our dependence for fossil fuels and addressing the global climate change problem.”
