Art vs. Craft in a Down Economy
I have read recently that craft sales are doing better since the recession:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/23/business/23craft.html
and now I read that art sales are doing worse:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/20/arts/20rece.html?_r=1&emc=eta1
So, I wonder why the difference?
It's an interesting new twist to the Art vs. Craft debate that has raged since ancient times. Art is considered to be "high," "fine," "untouchable" -- craft is considered to be, well basically the opposite. Craft is useful, which seems enough to knock it off the "art" podium for many.
I disagree that craft is lower than art and if our free market economy is any indication, most people seem to disagree as well.
Are we getting over the art for art's sake era, or does it just seem that way because of our wacky economy? Sphere: Related Content

Yes please
Amazing piece of creative furniture - I'll take it, though can the "request quote" price be somewhere in the range of $100? Probably not.

Fascinating Artist and Medium
Dustin Yellin creates fantastic, life-like sculptures that appear to be natural objects preserved in a column of resin, but they are not. He draws on thin layers of resin that come together to create a drawn sculpture. Very interesting spin on a drawing.

Apology to Blog
Dear blog,
I have neglected you as of late and I am sorry. Grad school was a little nuts this semester. Now that finals are over though, I will again show you the love you deserve and I may make you some little brothers and sisters to play with :)
Ok, now it's just getting a little creepy. I feel bad when I don't post for a long time though. I have a lot to say (as those who know me can attest to) and now I need to get caught up.
I have seen some awesome musicals and shows and gone to some great places, so I'll be writing about those. I am also going to be re-learning the adobe web suite programs and getting myself up to speed on Web 2.0 and now Web 3.0, so I will probably have adventures and projects to share.
I also have a ton of craft and quilting projects started that I will be trying to finish up, so I will be posting pics of those as well.

T Discoveries
While riding Boston's T is not always a pleasant experience, what with the people so drunk they are passed out by the time we reach Alewife and the occasional smell that can only be described as "fresh" diaper, it does have some great advantages.
Besides being a great way to get around and avoid the insane parking situation and taxi drivers in the city, it has also been a great place for me to learn about my new city.
The posters inside the cars offer a wealth of information on events to go to, places to see, institutions at which to get educated, etc.
The greatest discovery to date was the poster about the Harvard Extension School, which I now attend.
The most recent treasures I found were Museums of Boston and Anime Boston.
Museums of Boston is a great site for me and other museum nerds to find out all that this awesome area has to offer. You could go to a musuem each weekend and have at least a year's worth of trips to make.
Anime Boston is "The Northeast's Largest Anime Convention" - need I say more? Sphere: Related Content

I love Art Nouveau. Ever since I saw the Art Nouveau jewelry exhibit at the MFA I have been hooked. The attention to detail, the odd and beautiful inspiration for each piece, and the impeccable craftsmanship outdo most anything around today.
It's pretty great when I get inspired by something as everyday as a door. Sphere: Related Content

Santa Fe Indian Market
www.swaia.org
Growing up near Santa Fe afforded me the opportunity to see this great show many times. It is fascinating to see art through another culture's eyes and much of this art is world class and mind blowing.
When I went to the Peabody Essex museum in Salem the other day I was thrilled to have a lengthy conversation with a docent about the museum's appreciation for modern world art. They have an incredible contemporary Chinese art exhibit right now "Mah Jong" that is revolutionary. No other museum has evern exhibited contemporary Chinese art.
They also have contemporary Eastern Indian art and contemporary Native American Indian art. I was so excited to recognize several of the artist's pieces and to see that many of them were from Santa Fe and Taos.
The woman I spoke to (shame on me for being just terrible with names) was excited to know that I had a passion for this art and told me about the large (unfortunately stored and not displayed) collection of native american art the museum has acauired, both traditional and contemporary. I asked if she had ever been to the Santa Fe Indian Market and she said that she regrettable hadn't, but that one of their main curators goes each year and buys pieces for the museum's collection.
I wish that the museum had a more permanent display of native american art, but hopefully someday the public's appreciation of this work will coincide with the museum's and we will see more of that work come out of storage. Sphere: Related Content

Oh Canada
I was told that I did not need a passport to go to Canada. I drove up to the border and was then informed by a not so nice border patrol girl (I say girl because I think she was 10) that no passport is needed, but then you need a birth certificate. ARRGGHH. Dumby me for not double checking.
So, no Toronto on my long weekend trip and a longer drive than expected to Niagara Falls, but still a great time. Going in early Spring has its advantages: cheap hotels, no waits at restaurants, unobstructed view of falls and river. It also has its disadvantages: everything is CLOSED and it is nasty windy and cold (sigh)
The best part of the trip was Old Fort Niagara. That place is awesome and I had no idea it was such a huge part of our history. Very cool.
I have to go back for 4th of July weekend. Not only because it is 4th of July, but also because this year it is the 250th Anniversary of the French and Indian War and they are having this huge to-do about it. That should be really cool. By then all the stuff will be open as well.
I will also have not only my passport, but my proof of Canadian citizenship as well. I am dual because I was born after 1979 and my Mom is Canadian, but I have to apply for the documentation of it.
I plan to show up to the border super ultra over prepared with driver's license, passport card, passport book, birth certificate, social security card and proof of Canadian citizenship. I would like to have the same snot nosed little agent process that (hmph :p) Sphere: Related Content

Lisa Lichtenfels
I was first introduced to Lisa's amazing work in the documentary The Art of the Dollmaker. She creates beautifully realistic and personal dolls. I love that she captures individuality in each one. She uses very scientific and technical means to sculpt the dolls by creating a skeleton, then muscles, then skin and hair -- all out of fabric and fibers. They are truly amazing.
