Columbus Ohio Art museum Lod Israel mosaic Dispatch

May 30
Hey look, it’s musician and preparator extraordinaire Dave Holm working on the installation of a 1700-year-old mosaic floor at the Columbus Museum of Art. Found under the side of a road in Lod, Israel, and filled with the fascinating sites of semi-mythical sea creatures and strangely cute maneaters, this artifact from the Roman empire is quite the amazing piece of work. Read more here, and check it out yourself before it moves to the next stop on its limited world tour. CMA’s one of only five venues in the States to host it.

Art Columbus Erika Uzmann Ohio Ohio Craft Museum dispatch

May 22
Grain Fed vs. Grass Fed by Erika Uzmann, a series of silver brooches filled with elements from the food chain including corn, growing grass and raw meat. Pretty edgy stuff for the Ohio Craft Museum, but their annual “Best Of” show usually has a few interesting surprises. The 2012 edition is up through June 24 and launches a new feature at the venue: artist-voiced audio tours. Read more here.

criterioncorner: WINGS OF DESIRE  Designed by: Brandon Schaefer (for The Silver Screen Society) “I can’t see ya, but I know you’re here. I can feel it.” it’s Wings of Desire month over at The Silver Screen Society, which means that it’s The Silver Screen Society month here at Criterion Corner. TSSS is a collective of hyper-talented graphic designers who pick a movie each month and create as many pieces of art in tribute to that film as they can before the calendar rolls over, and this April they’ve set their sights on Wim Wenders’ woozily transcendent Wings of Desire. and shockingly (read: “not shockingly”), the results are great. like, really really great. like, teenage mutant ninja turtle ice cream popsicle great. visit The Silver Screen Society to see what they’ve posted so far (as if i’m not just gonna devote a post to each one and drag this out for as long as possible), and brace for what promises to be the most beautiful April in recent memory.  Taking a moment away from smacking myself for not knowing about this site sooner to share it with y’all. Thanks for the tip, Criterion Corner!

Film Brian De Palma Phantom of the Paradise

Apr 08
“I’ve ridden in an elevator three times with Brian De Palma over the years. You’re in the same hotel and you’re just—“It’s Brian De Palma, I just gotta fucking…” The first time I saw him he was 6-foot-7, literally. The last time I saw him, he’s like whatever his real height is, or maybe much shorter, like 4-foot-2 or something. I don’t know, but every time I feel like throwing myself at his feet and thanking him for Phantom Of The Paradise.” - Guy Maddin Hells yeah. I bet Paul Williams and Jessica Harper get the same feeling.

motherjones: cheatsheet: thedailyfeed: Thirty-two Arizona state legislators received hand-knit, googley-eyed stuffed uteruses from a pro-choice activist yesterday, the Arizona Republic reports. Each uturus toy was stuffed into a clear plastic bag, along with a letter from Peggy Tinsley, who spearheaded the project, explaining why she opposes a bill that would limit birth control coverage in the state. “Please treat the women in your life as the intelligent persons they are,” Tinsley wrote. “I have provided you with a uterus. Please leave ours alone.” Actiknitting?  Updating an earlier item.

The Maker Film Amanda Louise Spayd Art Columbus Ohio Rivet

Apr 05

I saw The Maker last weekend at the Cleveland International Film Festival. For such a short little short, it’s a fully realized story that’s charming in a haunting, melancholy sort of way. The feeling comes in no small part from the big-eyed, buck-toothed rabbit puppet stars created by Ohio’s own Amanda Louise Spayd. The film will be playing at a half-dozen other fests over the next month, and Spayd will be in Columbus this weekend to introduce a solo show of her work at Rivet.
