Art, Coffee, Tea and Blogs

I found some fun stuff this past week and thought I'd pass it on. The first one is going out to all you bloggers that are trying to make money writing. Its a list of 50 blogs that actually pay for writers work. Guest blogging has always been a source of exposure so have at it!!!

Now on to the crazy world of art.

Dr Felix Rey was the physician who treated Van Gogh following his private performance piece, ear today gone tomorrow. New sketches unearthed in an archive in California show the drawings from that exam.

This one I found to be incredibly interesting. Image artificial DNA used to track original art. Now I know most of us aren't in the league where we would worry about forgery but there is a growing theft of artwork on line. The DNA process alone, which seems to be not outrageously expensive, would be a great business investment if nothing else. Or just enjoy an interesting read.

Cork Printmakers and Center for Contemporary Printmaking

It was exciting to find an incredible printmaking exhibition while touring through Connecticut. We met with a member of the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Debbie Gioelle who was gracious enough to take time from her own work to explain the show and give us insight into the center itself. I’ve listed the artists and the catalog site but it is worth going to the Cork website to see all other artists involved at Cork Printmaking.

Curator Sarah Kelleher

PRESENT is an exhibition featuring thirty prints by fifteen artist members of Cork Printmakers, which will be displayed at the Center for Contemporary Printmaking, Norwalk, Connecticut, U.S.A, from 5th June until the 28 August 2016. Selected Artists include: Johnny Bugler, Debbie Godsell, Séan Hanrahan, Catherine Hehir, Marianne Keating, Jo Kelley, Eileen Kennedy, Deirdre McKenna, Peter McMorris, Noelle Noonan, Shane O’ Driscoll, Killian O’ Dwyer, Kate O’ Shea, The Project Twins, and Laura Wade. This exhibition was curated by Sarah Kelleher, who is a Ph.D. candidate in the History of Art Department at University College Cork and a Government of Ireland Scholar.
