I Want My IMATv


Watch more Artbabble!

To view Maxwell Anderson's Museums and the Web Annual Conference (#mw2009) Plenary Address -- click here.

It is AMAZING. Amazing, what one great leader in this age has done for a museum, its team and a municipality...and then a universe on-line.

It takes a village, sure -- donors have clearly stepped forward, there are already acres in place, many important museum professionals make all this possible, the public, the on-line community, etc.

But whatever it is that gives me a sense that this one cat's had such a great impact must hold some truth, if even that he has served as a symbol, which is at least half the game, right?

But check the succinctness and eloquence here. I'm only half way through in MY watching...wish I was there.

Naomie Kremer's Ghosts

As part of the Magnes WINDOWS series , the latest installation is by Israeli-born, Berkeley-living artist Naomie Kremer . The WINDOWS series was launched to use the Magnes new facility to positive effect, namely as public art to be viewed at night: to bring more cultural content to downtown Berkeley and in the evenings when the street traffic is less -- to light up the night. Kremer's opening was this evening and we had a really nice turn out, including important local patrons of the arts, collectors etc. Here pictured are Jeff and Jane Green , Penny Cooper (one of the Bay Area's finest collections, focused primarily on women artists with her wife Rena Rosenwasser ). Here Naomie introduces her video piece on Bluebeard's Castle, by Bela Bartok .

Review: Macbeth

Macbeth by William Shakespeare My rating: 4 of 5 stars Four and a half stars, with one major flaw: the producers chose to do this funny little trick of overlaying Cumming's voices when he was multiple characters, namely three weird sisters when they spoke at once. The result was echo-y and distracting. Otherwise, the whole thing felt like the smartest guy in the neighborhood inviting you over to listen to him read, and you cared: knew the story and really wanted to hear how he delivered. It was intimate and rewarding. It also made me think about how it is a story of Scots and English. View all my reviews
