			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called "Smitten".Â  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.Â  Here's some pictures I took at the opening.Â  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG"><img id="image111" style="height: 206px" height="206" alt="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG" width="272" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Giant Robot New York, approaching store (left) and Gallery (right - in Red).</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="GRNY Group Show" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG"><img id="image112" style="width: 266px; height: 215px" height="215" alt="GRNY Group Show" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG" width="266" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it's small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Jack Long Painting" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG"><img id="image113" style="width: 275px; height: 228px" height="228" alt="Jack Long Painting" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG" width="275" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Angelica Jolie and Baby" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG"><img id="image114" style="width: 290px; height: 210px" height="210" alt="Angelica Jolie and Baby" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG" width="290" /></a></p>
<p align="center">I don't know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it's clearly Jolie and child.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Garbage Can with Tribbles" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG"><img id="image115" style="width: 242px; height: 296px" height="296" alt="Garbage Can with Tribbles" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG" width="242" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Don't know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture.Â At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG"><img id="image116" style="width: 300px; height: 232px" height="232" alt="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG" width="300" /></a></p>
<p align="left">And here's me, just before getting a haircut.Â  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.Â  I'm wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.</p>
<p align="left">I can't say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo's (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.Â  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.</p>
<p align="left">I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.Â  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel ComicsÂ  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.Â  And then I went home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I stumbled upon <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and as this is ArtNYC, it's good to know there are Art Dealers in NYC that are also blogging.Â  I'm surprised there isÂ no RSS feed to select (perhaps Edward has not turned it on in his blogger console).

I also noticed there are many comments to Winkleman's post, a sign his blog is fairly well read.Â  I guess being an art dealer helps.Â 

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html</a>

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html</a>

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym</a>, a shared studio space that's usually empty - and I have 4000 sq ft to myself (there were two other woman painting today).
<p align="center"><img alt="My Segmented Life - Self Portrait" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/MySegmentedLife.JPG" /></p>
<p align="left">The picture I took of my large acrylic sketch/painting is "<strong>My Segmented Life</strong>" and is about 4 feet x 2.5 feet - my 1.3 mega-pixel camara is not able to get much better than this- I did the work in about 4 hours.Â Â  It's a self portait but I decided not to focus too much on detail.</p>
<p align="left">I have been thinking of merging my web analytics work with painting (or maybe it's a bad idea - I don't know).Â  My idea was to take traffic segmentation to pages of a web site as it shown in packages like ClickTracks and do the same thing in my painting - except the segmentation is the parts of my life (<em>I did not represent all the parts of my life - I just painted in a couple of segments as an after thought</em>).</p>
<p align="left">Was thinking of this idea for a couple of weeks - right after the artist <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/29/olan-montgomery-in-person-artist-interview-continued/"><em>Olan</em></a> drew a map of me, describing my life (while we were talking about life)Â -Â decided to see if I could paint my life as <a href="http://www.clicktracks.com/eliminate_guesswork.php">visitor segmentation map </a>- yet still hold it together as a painting (and avoid being too illustrative).</p>
<p align="left">I don't take any of these works that seriously, but I do find that I'm liking my work more, the less I try to "finish" it.Â  I used to spend so much effort trying to finish paintings and lately I don't have time - it has to work the first time - I don't know what my mood will be next time I come in to paint on something - don't want to mix moods - would rather just do the painting in one sitting <em>if I can</em>.</p>
<p align="left">So, incase you can't make it out, I painted the words "web analytics" in red in the lower left, "work" in the mid, upper left, "blogging" in the mid-upper right and "Seo" in the bottom right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went to the <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Dada.html">DADA show </a>at the MOMA this afternoon.Â  I put a bit of work into my post then my blog ate the post - and so I'm just writing a short description.

To me DADA is more an anti-movement than a real art movement - the attempt to take everyday objects and make them into Art seems asÂ <em>artificial</em> as the art it was meant to replace.

I can say this now, 80 years later - but at the time, the DADA artists thought they were doing everyone a favor - and maybe they were.Â  Except for a couple of works, most of the show is pretty much everyday objects that are made into Anti - Art (like Anti-Matter) by the artist.

But just because a Duchamp pissing pot is symetrical,Â itÂ does not mean it should be put into a museum - as the DADAist would have it.Â  The DADA movement was more important, historically, than for what it produced.

I also looked briefly at <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Douglas_Gordon/index.html">Douglas Gordon's Timeline exhibition </a>which was also at the MOMA. From the exhibition notes:
<blockquote>In his most well-known works, Scottish artist Douglas Gordon (b. 1966) addresses the familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating, reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewersâ€™ perceptions. His works provoke feelings of anxiety, recognition, and amnesia with respect to the circumstances of the reception of media today.

This retrospective of Gordonâ€™s work presents thirteen significant works by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake) (1997), and Play Dead; Real Time (2003).

By forcing new encounters with the familiar and confrontations with the willfully forgotten, Gordon exposes the distance between our dimmed, distorted memories and, perhaps, the truthâ€”emphatically demonstrating that what he sculpts is not only media but time itself.</blockquote>
My take, the show seemed stupid to me - it was trying to take what looked like the 1930's mimialist paintings and illustrate a relationship that really happens much better in my mind than in film.

I have been to many art openings recently, and with the proliferation of Computer Generated Films, many artists are trying to be deep filmmakers - but more often than not, what I see is noise - something I feel I should look at but really don't want to.

But why force myself to look at something that's not attractive or interesting to look at at the first place?Â Â Â  The modern filmmaker can have the same problem as DADA tried to solve - taking the ordinary and making it into art.Â  In the case of DADA, they took <strong><em>garbage</em></strong> and said it was sublime.Â  Modern filmmakers like Douglas Gordon are taking the ordinary and trying to super-impose some fake meaning - a meaning that looks <em>artificial</em> - the same way the DADA stuff looked to me.Â 

Give me something real - and natural and interesting to look at - not these Pseudo Movies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent about 30 minutes really studying the Rebmrandt drawings and etchings in the following show (see below):
<blockquote>Rembrandt and His Circle: Drawings and Prints
July 11, 2006â€“October 15, 2006
Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery for Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem.jpg' alt='' /></center>
Â 
</blockquote>
Â From theÂ Exhibition notes:
<blockquote>This exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606â€“1669). Selected from the Museum's world-class collection, these 58 graphic works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and his pupils illustrate the range of Rembrandt's creative geniusâ€”his spontaneity, originality, and innovative approach to traditional media.</blockquote>
What I noticed was how much Rembrandt's drawings are poetical - as a natural extension of himself.Â Â  I see many of the drawings as "pre-paintings" and while I don't go into the strong light/dark thing that was popular at the time - I do appreciate the poetry of his drawings.
Sometimes, there's touches of pigment to promote depth - something I would not have thought that Rembrandt needed to do - since his drawings are so strong, as they are.Â 

But then I realized, there really is not limitation on what an artist can or should do, save the limitations they put on themselves.Â Â 

If Rembrandt need some pigment to pull out a face or a Tiger's mane, who I am say it's not the right thing to do?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent a couple of hours at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art </a>this evening and discovered that I overlooked the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/romantic_more.asp">Girodet Exhibition </a>on my recent visits because I did not know about it.
<blockquote>
</blockquote><blockquote>
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
May 24, 2006â€“August 27, 2006
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Â </blockquote>

From the Exhibition Notes:
<blockquote>This is the first American retrospective devoted to A. L. Girodet-Trioson (1767â€“1824), a favored but rebellious pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Girodetâ€™s idiosyncratic style fuses Davidâ€™s Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. A selection of approximately 100 paintings and works on paper reflects his originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleonâ€™s military triumphs.Â Â </blockquote>
Here's the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images.asp">paintings I responded to the mostÂ </a>.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/view_1.asp?item=0">The Oath of the Horatii</a>, 1786
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748â€“1825)
Toledo Museum of Art.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

I thought The Oath of the Horatii was a David painting - but this "copy" was also sorta an original and surpassed David, I'm told, in the transparancies in the background.Â  While David ran a tight ship, and made his students compete with each other - Girodet began to develop a dislike of David and decided to move away from his former master as soon as began to mature as an artist.Â 

I think David's studio was probably a good place to be during the late 1780's - 1790's but if you wanted to develop your own individuality - you needed to break away from David, and that's what Girodet did.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Endymion.T.jpg">The Sleep of Endymion</a>, 1791
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e du Louvre, Paris.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem3.jpg' alt='' /></center>

It was hard to believe the same artist that painted in under David would also paint something so different than anything that David would have done, or approved of.Â  Of course, by the time Girodet painted The Sleep of Endymion, he was living in Rome, having won the Prix De Rome in 1789 (it was a good time to get away from Paris anyway - right?).

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Burial-of-.T.jpg">Burial of Atala</a> (rÃ©pÃ©tition of 1808 original), 1813
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e Girodet, Montargis.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem4.jpg' alt='' /></center>

The masterpiece in the show - the one painting that would cement Girodet's place in Art History.Â  One thing I noticed - there are artists that are important in their time, and go on to be famous for "all time" - like Velasquez, Titian, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Constable, Rembrandt, etc.Â Â  Then there are no less deserving artists who are important for their time, but don't transend into universality - Girodet is one of these types of artists - though at moments he almost touches pure greatness.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Chateaubriand.T.jpg">FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand</a>, 1808
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e d'Histoire et d'Ethnographie, Saint-Malo

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem5.jpg' alt='' /> </center>Â 

What can I say; I never read Chateaubriand but the image is very familar to me - and therefore I can say this painting is one of the more important one's in the show, to me, for that reason.

<strong>Burial of Atala was probably my favorite painting in the show</strong>; everyone in NYC who is into art should go and see the Girodet: Romantic Rebel show - there's only three weeks left.Â  I'll probably go once more before the show closes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The New York Times talks about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/technology/03basics.html?ex=1155268800&en=298298e6e1f6d727&ei=5012&partner=CNET">H.D.R. Photography</a>.
<blockquote>"<strong>Although H.D.R. photos are often compared to paintings</strong>, they are an attempt by software makers to allow photography to more accurately mimic human vision.

Dynamic range measures how great a difference between light and dark can be captured by a digital camera or film. Relative to the human eye, all photography has a limited dynamic range, and digital photography suffers even more than film.

It is this limitation that leads to landscape photos where a dramatic sky appears as a washed-out smudge. A classic example of the problem is trying to photograph a roomâ€™s interior while still capturing the view outside its windows. In that case, photographers are usually forced to choose either the room or its view as their subject.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/pic2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"The concept of H.D.R. photography is fairly simple. It starts with a photographer harvesting every bit of difference in brightness by taking several different photos of the same scene, with large exposure differences between them. Software then sorts through the resulting images, which range from underexposed views that are nearly black to washed-out overexposures, to calculate the full dynamic range of the view. Using that vast amount of data, it then constructs a single, high dynamic range photo.</p>
At least thatâ€™s the theory. While the actual practice can be highly automated, it is slightly more complicated.</blockquote>
These H.D.R enhanced photos, such as those shown in the New York Times, look like illustrations or highly polished paintings - but they're still photographs.Â  I think the story here is not so much about High Dynamic Range Photos but the power that highend Adobe Software brings to the average photographer who has many more options of where to go with their photos than ever before.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I came across a press release earlier today about digital paintings that change based on your <a href="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/releases/artmodd030806.html">emotional state</a>.Â  This looks interesting but I'm not sure how easy it would be for your average artist to use the technology.
<blockquote>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic artwork that changes to match the mood of the person who is looking at it.</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the person viewing the artwork.</p>
<p style="clear: both">It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to suit the changing mood of the viewer.</p>
<p style="clear: both">For example, when the viewer is angry the colours are dark and appear to have been applied to the canvas with more violent brush strokes.</p>
<p style="clear: both">If their expression changes to happy, the artwork adapts so that the colours are vibrant and more subtly applied.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~vision/empaint/"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px" height="321" alt="Maria Shugrina trying out the software (click for video page)" src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/images/artmood.jpg" width="432" /> </a></p>
<p style="clear: both">The project forms part of on-going research looking to develop a range of advanced artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry.</p>
<p style="clear: both">This has already resulted in software which produces highly-detailed artistic versions of photographs, and allows designers to create animations directly from digital footage.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe programme analyses the image for eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer,â€ said Dr John Collomosse from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œIt does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewerâ€™s emotions change the artwork responds accordingly.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis results in a digital canvas that smoothly varies its colours and style, and provides a novel interactive artistic experience.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis kind of empathic painting only needs a desk top computer and a webcam to work, so once you have the programme and have calibrated it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start creating personalised art based on your mood.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe empathic painting is really an experiment into the feasibility of using high level control parameters, such as emotional state, to replace the many low-level tools that users currently have at their disposal to affect the output of artistic rendering.â€</p>
<p style="clear: both">The empathic painting project was carried out with Maria Shugrina and Margrit Betke from the University of Boston.</p>
<p style="clear: both">The images used in the project were created by the researchers using advanced artistic rendering techniques which give the computer-generated artwork the appearance of having been painted onto canvas.</p>
<p style="clear: both">More information on the empathic painting project, including a video demonstration, is available on the project website (see related links section).</p>
<p style="clear: both">The research was recently presented at the fourth International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) conference in Annecy as part of the International Animation Festival.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was thinking about a couple of details I left out of my last post about my interview with Olan tonight.

Olan Montgomery is very tuned into people's eyes and in his paintings he focuses on the eyes, esp in the portraits.Â  In one case Olan showed me the eyes of a portrait where all the details of that person's concern with recognition and copyrights was shown in symbols reflected in her eyes.Â  I don't think this is the portait he showed me but it's as close as I can find on his site.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img style="width: 397px; height: 402px" height="402" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/olgapavlova.jpg" width="397" /></font></p>
When you look at the eyes closely you'll see all kinds of things.

Speaking of seeing the soul of person in their eyes, I asked Olan to tell me what he saw in my eyes.Â Â  Honestly, being a Scorpio, I usually try to read others and don't want them to see into me.Â  But I think we all really want to be known as well (and it would be curious to see what kind of Portrait Olan would do of me).

Olan did not really want to say at first what he saw in my eyesÂ - he sorta brushed over it.Â  Then I asked again - and he said I was afraid of dying without having really lived and done things I wanted to do in my life yet.Â  He said he could see, in my eyes, that I was pre-occurpied with that - and that I did not need to worry so much about it - that what I wanted I could have now.

We discussed a couple of other things about why I started painting again and Olan said he'd like to own one of my paintings - he liked them.Â 

Olan talked a lot about his childhood, his family, the way he was brought up, and his Mother, EslyeÂ .Â  He's very close to his mother and feels she is more charitable by nature than he is (which is saying a lot because Olan appears to be a very charitable person - so if his mother is more than that, she must be very charitable).Â  He talked about how his mother would take his sibelings and some of the orphaned children near where he grew up to Museums as often as she could and how her life was devoted to art - and is devoted to art.Â Â  He mentioned that his father had a stroke 12 years ago and she takes care of him but never talks much about it.Â  Olan also talked about his twin brother and how they took very different paths in life, his brother being in theÂ army at one time, and really going after totally different things - and their orientation was different as well.

So, my first part of the interview was more concerned about the outer things -Â  but this part ofÂ my interview is more concerned about the inner part of Olan's life.

Olan is also a cosmetics specialist and is called in for model shoots and that explains his relationship with <a href="http://marmagazine.com/">M.A.R. Magazine</a>- where his painting graces the current issue with a portrait of Anne Hathaway, whom Olan has met.Â 

In fact, you can see the relationship between the models of M.A.R. magazine and many of Olan's paintings over the last year or two - it looks like his portraits, in some cases, grew out of his contacts with the models and his use of color and focus on the face grew out his work as a Cosmetics Specialist - which is a model's best friend.

I would not have written this second post on the Olan interview tonight - were it not for needing to present, as much as I could, a fuller account - and while I did not take photos, which I could have, I focused again, on just talking and letting the conversation form itself - much as a painting takes form.

Another thing Olan did with me tonight is take the areas of my life and drew them out as themes as they related to me (ie: Art, time alone, 9/11, Job) - it reminded me of the way a web analyst would segment traffic coming to a website or page - but in this case, the website/page is me - and the categories are part of my life.

So among the things Olan can call himself - a psychic, a soul reader, a keen observer who looks into the eyes looking for the soul.

And that's the end of my interview of Olan Montgomery - for now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it much easier to write an interview of Olan without looking at my notes from tonight's dinner meeting; I met Olan down at his Gallery and we had dinner next, and he game me one of his small paintings as well (the painting was based on the image below - of a young, homeless, gay woman the artist befriended).Â Â  I was attracted to the face of a larger painting of this model and he gave me a smaller version of it.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Model" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/model.JPG" /></font></p>
We spoke about his current show which will be coming down soon and it's success.Â  <em>I asked Olan to define the metrics for a successful show</em> - that started a conversation where different arragements of sponserships and other commissioned works leads to a profitable show.Â  The money part of art was something Olan did not really want to focus onÂ  - he wants to be free to do his art and not have to get involved with the politics of gallery dealers and collectors.Â  We talked about how difficult it is to do art and live in NYC and that society, as it is today, is focused on the wrong things - like getting ahead at the cost of hurting other people.Â 

Olan thinks deeply about this and tells me he did not care for what happened recently on The View and how Star was replaced.

We moved on to another subject, using the internet to go past dealers and reach fans directly - Olan was intrigured with the idea of The Long Tail and using the internet to sell his work - but did not really know how to go about it.

I mentioned <a href="http://www.amycrehore.com/">Amy Crehore</a>, and her devoted fan base plus the writeups in <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/03/amy_crehores_the_cre.html">Boing Boing </a>as an example of reaching fans and buyers without <em>going through dealers</em> (though she also does have dealers of her work).Â  Also the recent addition of <strong>Charles Saatchiâ€™s</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website which <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8532"><strong>Olan Montgomery</strong>Â used to create his own mini-site with his work</a>.Â  Olan found out about the Saatchi online gallery through me, as did a friend of mine, Drew Knapp, who did the same thing (posted his work).

In fact, I used the Saatchi online gallery to discuss the first instance, to my knowledge, of a Major Gallery Dealer getting involved with Social Marketing, Viral Marketing - it's as if Charles Saatchi gets it - he understands that many artists want a legitamate way to reach dealers like himself and Saatchi also wants to discover new artists - so he makes it possible to do so with the <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website - and become the most progressive art dealer.Â  Yes, I give Charles Saatchi credit for seeing something that needed to be done in social media and doing it (and he did a good job with Your Gallery).

Olan mentioned the Chelesa art galleries in the West 20's where some artists are able to get sponsership but to just survive and do their work, is such a struggle (it always has been).Â Â  Olan mentioned that being an Art Dealer was a good business to be in - but being an artist is much harder.Â Â  I interjected and said it was always like that with a couple of artist superstars (ie: Picasso is a prime example) making a most of the money while most other artists can hardly make anything.Â Â 

In fact, <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/07/day_of_the_long_tail_movie.html">with the Long Tail</a>, created by theÂ economies of the internet - many artists can thrive in ways that would have been much harder even 5 years ago (and that is not generally understood yet)Â - I think Amy Crehore is an example of that - an artist with a strong fan base - who really can do well with internet publicityÂ - and you don't need to be a Picasso (or the modern version of that - or even be part of theÂ <a href="http://www.whitney.org/">Whitney Biennial</a> (see my review of the Whitney Biennial <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/04/my_review_of_the_2006_whitney.html">here</a>) to utilize the power of internet to magnify your brand.

In fact, there's much that I did not discuss with Olan tonightÂ - I will have to cover in the next interview.Â  For example - Olan's site uses AdSense and Affiliate Marketing, along with a series of articles and news - and it was only by looking at it in detail tonight - after speaking with him (where he mentioned he does write articles and post to his site and on other sites as well) that I went back and took a look at some of what he posted.Â  What I see is we need another interview do discuss how he approaches his website marketing of his own work and brand and what kind of volume of visitors his site generates.Â  These are questions for Webmetricsguru.com but they apply here as Olan clearly is using the power of Google Advertising and Affiliate Marketing toÂ  make part of a living.Â 

Olan suggested we get together again, on a monthly basis to continue this conversation.Â  We also talked about having me interview his mother, who is also an artist and a very interesting person.Â 

Getting back to the interview I did tonight -I found out an interesting metric - it takes Olan about 0.00, or more to produce one painting using the techniques and media he employs (there's often the cost of the paints, strecher, linen, photo transfer, etc) and that he sees all the work he does and what he makes off it as a way to continue painting - in other words, much of the money made on a show is re-invested back into this work - and I think that's the right thing for an artist to do, personally.

The meeting ended with a walk back, next door, to Ward-Nasse Gallery where Olan showed me the work of other artists in the Gallery and introduced me to the Art Dealer who runs Ward-Nasse.Â Â  I also took the opportunity to look at some more of Olan's paintings near the back of the Gallery that I had not really looked at as well as some of the other artists who have shows at Ward-Nasse.

By the Way, Olan did treat me to dinner which included Pasta and two glasses of red wine each.Â  Olan had his dog with him, and the dog was begging us for food - I ate all of mine so Olan put out part of his pasta plate - about a third of the dish and the dog finished it.

And that's it for tonight's interview with Olan Montgomery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I missed <a href="http://nystudiogallery.com/">Innerscapes by Rachel Madden </a>but I would have rather had seen that show than what was at Six Feet Under (which I did end up seeing);Â  I just did not show up on time.
<blockquote>INNERSCAPES
Paintings by Rachel Madden
July 13 â€“ September 3, 2006

Opening reception: Thursday, July 27, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM

NY Studio Gallery
is pleased to present paintings by Rachel Madden.These intimate, mesmerizing oil on canvas landscapes relay an intrinsically meditative quality springing from the human condition of hope amid despair.Â </blockquote>

<p align="center"><img title="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" style="width: 417px; height: 299px" height="299" alt="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" src="http://nystudiogallery.com/Rachelindex.jpg" width="417" /></p>
<p align="left">Hopefully this picture is not too large (in pixel size) or else I'll need to resize it.</p>
<p align="left">Kinda similar, in some respects to Bonnard's work and does not have a title and is 24 x 30 inches.Â Â  Had I arrived earlier - this would have been the show to see.</p>
<p align="left">I have a problem with making it over to the West Side - its' really out of the way for me.Â  The galleries that have taken over Chelsea are mixed in with moving companies and the remains of the 3rd Avenue EL.Â  I have mixed feelings about having so many galleries that far west.Â  On the good side - you can hit several openings at one time; on the bad side - it's really an effort to go there in the first place.</p>
<p align="left">I wish the galleries would do something extra to encourage more people to come over to Chelsea - like provide a free meal, or a free something - I don't know - I just think that sticking all the galleries in Chelsea does not quite feel right or natural - but maybe that's just me.Â  I liked all this stuff down in Soho much better.Â </p>
<p align="left">And By the way, Park Slope and Brooklyn is up and coming and maybe thats' the place to be.Â  Forget about Chelsea, go and build all these galleries in Park Slope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I showed up to a video installation of Lutz Bacher's Scences from the Ring at the <a href="http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/2830">Six Feet Under </a>Gallery in West 26th street and 10th Avenue.
<blockquote>Jarrett Gregory - July 27th
featuring Lutz Bacher

Six Feet Under is a theme-driven annual summer series featuring six proposals by six curators. As in previous years, the purpose of the series is to offer each curator and artist a weeklong opportunity to tackle White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. The exhibitions are viewed through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby and in [VideoBox], a division of White Box located in an adjacent outdoor window.

This last and final edition brings to an end the six-year long series with a topic that specifically addresses the impact and scope of the Chelsea Arts District real estate development. Six young and emerging curators are invited to select six galleries, each of which will then suggest an artist to work with. The artists will present and install a work that reflects upon the realities and relationships of Chelsea's artists' studios and galleries versus the rampant real estate speculation that has resulted in forever-escalating costs affecting the entire arts industry. Perhaps the real question is whether or not there is complicity between all the forces at play and why some artists and galleries end up losing and others win, which in turn will affect, in unknown ways, the community we have forged.

Organized by Juan Puntes</blockquote>
However, the show I saw does not match up with the program notes, above.Â  I have usually had a hard time understanding or accepting Video Art in Galleries (presented much as paintings would be) as I don't understand what the message isÂ  - and I usually haven't been able to "get it".Â  I did not "get it" tonight either.

I love the online videos from YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, etc, that I can stream on my websiteÂ - but I don't understand the message and economics here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was finally able to get over to the <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>today to do a little painting; I took my son Adam with me and managed to get him to sit for me and did this sketch (below).

<font face="Courier New"><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/Adam.JPG' alt='Adam S.' /></font>

It's difficult enough to get a teenager to sit still for long - I managed to get Adam to sit for about 90 minutes.

I usually try to finish whatever I'm working on in the same sitting - as far as I can.Â  Years ago, when I painted more often, I felt I often overpainted and it took much longer to achieve anything.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/22/baplab-july-22-2006-3rd-ward-in-brooklyn-ny/">my last post</a>, I planned to go to BAPLab2006 and I did; I'm 80 dollars poorer for it but I had a good time and it was all in the name of Art, or something like that.Â  I took a lot of pictures too - but I'm not sure it makes sense to post them here as quickly take up space on the webservers - maybe I'll post one or two pictures, that's it.

There were a couple of thousand people attending a werehouse that was converted into a large art gallery - happening space.Â Some of the same artists that were part of the NYU Interactive Communications Program were also in this show and I spoke to one artist whom I remembered from a couple of months ago.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Portrait of Me altered" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/IMG00039.JPG" /></font></p>
Â 

There was a photo montage that altered a person and you could interact with it - and I am showing me, being altered, not for the better, I'm afraid.Â  Actually, the work I was part of here was called Musical Chari: A Game for One Musical Chair: A Game for One.Â  This work is influenced by the artist's (Geoffery Bell) fascination with visual apparatuses from the 19th Century.Â Â  When the viewer remains still (me in this case) the repetitive images of the viewer gradually coalesce into a single image.Â  Audio segments are also triggered and manipulated by the viewer's movements (that's me, again).

Â Other Artists I looked at were Ernesto Kar's Convergenze Parallele, Jake Klotz's Rejoice/Restage and another work called Robot/ a canternary project.Â 

One thing - I went up to the third floor and noticed some bathrooms without doors - they were part of the art installation but people were using them as actual bathrooms - and I must admit, so did I.Â  I think, only men did this - I did not see any woman using the art installation / bathrooms this way.

There was also a walled off room where some "oracles" were doing readings - or something - and there were silkscreen pictures of nude woman that were semi transparant (that made it interesting to know what was going on inside).Â  However, I never did find out as i was too hot and the line too long.

I should add that the show I attended appeared to be made up of a couple of groups including the 3rd Ward, a member based studio and workshop facility geared towards established and emerging artists - with facilities for audio/music recording, dance/performance studios, sculpture and fabrication, Digital Media Lab that is fully equipped, a gallery, converence space, lounge and Internet Access Cafe.Â Â  Sounds like 3rd Ward and the Bushwick Art Program have it all wrapped up (everythingÂ a modern artist could want) except the location - the location is too far out of the way for me to want to go over there - but if you live in GreenPoint, or nearby, it's probably a good place to have studio space - there was a little floor bot robot painting a painting of about the 1970's.Â  Don't ask me what it all means as I don't know.

I also found out about another artist space that is technology oriented closer to home called <a href="http://www.lemurplex.org/">LEMURPLEX</a>, located at 451 3rd Avenue, pretty close to <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>(which I need to go over to, maybe Sunday - today - haven't been over there for a couple of weeks and I need to paint).
<blockquote>LEMURplex is a new performance/gallery/teaching space in Brooklyn, located between the vibrant neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Red Hook. LEMURplex will teach and showcase the best in art and technology.

<strong>LEMURplex is the home and workshop of LEMUR</strong>: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots. Founded in 2000, LEMUR is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. LEMUR's work is shown throughout the world in performances and installations. For information on LEMUR, go to lemurbots.org.</blockquote>
How Fantastic!Â  Here, but a mile or two from where I live a couple of blocks from where I paint, exists the League of Electronic Muscial Urban Robots that goes all over the world to perform and create installations.Â  There's also courses that are tought - but at this time I don't think I'll be taking any of these (they're programming oriented - but more for visual artists that want to do robotics - a path I went down several years ago but found I did not have the interest or focus for it).

I'm glad I went to BAPLab2006 tonight - I'd probably not even have learnt about LEMURplex had I not gone - it's also nice to see a new batch of artists - the future (which I see myself as a bridge to - I'm old enough to have lived in the 60's and 70's yet progressive enough to really live and identify with the artists of the 21st Century).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[There's an opening tonight in BrooklynÂ thatÂ IÂ will attend tonightÂ (if you can get to it) - or at least, <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1">look at their website</a>.
<blockquote>This summer BAP will be hosting the first in a series of programs entitled the â€œBAPLabâ€ taking place on July 22nd 2006. Showcasing well known artists side by side with emerging artists, the Labâ€™s purpose is to expose both audience and artists alike to the vast spectrum of digital culture. <strong>Located at 3rd Ward, in the outer edges of Bushwick,</strong> (<em>that's why I probably won't make it over there)</em> the Lab is <em>an experimental event</em> where artists are encouraged to explore new paths and investigate new ideas through a curated program of electronic music, video, sound installations and interactive works.

Part exhibition, part creative R&D program, the BAPLab is a festival of ideas.Â  An environment where artists can explore new approaches to creative expression.

I liked listening to <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=31">Pathways To Pluto </a>- by r. john valeo - perhaps it's because I'm a Scorpio that I'd like Pluto music.Â  But then there's Red Wine Reduction by Handshake or Sex Deluxe by Hakan Lidbo - you can hear all of the work by going to the website.</blockquote>
BTW, this BAP lab show sounds (no kidding!) similar to <strong>NYU'sÂ Interactive Communications Program Spring Show</strong> which I covered in great detail on Webmetricsguru.com a couple of months ago.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Happened upon <strong>Charles Saatchi's</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/">Your Gallery </a>website which seems to me to be the <a href="http://imoralist.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-friend-charles-saatchi.html">first instance </a>of <strong><em>Art Dealers getting into the Social Media scene</em></strong>.Â  Instead of looking for artist to represent - Saatchi is allowing the artist to post their work onto his site <em>(ok, he did not invite everyone - but yet anyone can post their work).</em>

There's also a <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/virtual-tour-windows.htm">virtual tour </a>of the actual Saatchi Collection in London that looks part Computer Animation and part Photography. What's noticable to me is that the figures in the virtual tour are immobile, much as the art iself - perhaps in this case, the figures are part of the art of Virtual Tour (you can't see the pictures on the wall very well - the movie is really about taking a tour of the Saatchi Gallery, not what is in the Gallery.

Perhaps the only thing missing from the Virtual TourÂ was <a href="http://wilddivine.com/">Wild Divine's biofeedback mechinism</a> to make a tour interactive - As Wild Divine's <a href="http://wilddivine.com/Demo/">Wisdom Quest </a>is (the <a href="http://www.wilddivine.com/WhatsNew/#">second Computer Game from Wild Divine</a>).

Getting back to posting your art in Saatchi's Gallery, <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8466">I postedÂ one of my own</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went over to the <a href="http://www.stuxgallery.com/">STUX Gallery </a>tonight to view <strong>Six Degrees of Separation 2</strong> - The inner Workings of Cold Contact.Â  Boy was it crowded!Â  Had a beer but had to work to find out where they were searving the free drinks.Â  Lots of things I would probably not care to own - some photos that were life size but whose subject was hard to look at - or want to.

New York Fine Art (<a href="http://www.nyfineart.com/">www.nyfineart.com</a>) also had a opening tonight - I'm not sure I attended as I attended for or 5 shows and what IÂ saw and where I went seems to be a blur now.

There areÂ many Galleries that used to be in Soho that moved up toÂ theÂ Chelsea section of Manhattan.Â  I'm not saying it's bad - there was a struture toÂ attending these NYÂ Galleries that would have been missing had they stayed down in Soho.Â  On the other hand, it feels somewhat artifical to stick all the galleries right next to each other on the lower West Side of Manhattan.

I also saw a photography show calle "It's very difficult to keep the line between theÂ  past and the present.Â  Know what I mean?"Â  I likedÂ several of the photographs inÂ the show at <a href="http://www.clampart.com/">Clamp Art</a>.Â Â 

Also got together with some of the greatest Podcasters in New York at NYC Podcasting Meetup Group - these are a dedicated group of Podcasters who meet once a month.

Time for me to signup off and go to bed - I don't believe how much I did and saw tonight!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called "Smitten".Â  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.Â  Here's some pictures I took at the opening.Â  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG"><img id="image111" style="height: 206px" height="206" alt="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG" width="272" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Giant Robot New York, approaching store (left) and Gallery (right - in Red).</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="GRNY Group Show" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG"><img id="image112" style="width: 266px; height: 215px" height="215" alt="GRNY Group Show" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG" width="266" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it's small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Jack Long Painting" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG"><img id="image113" style="width: 275px; height: 228px" height="228" alt="Jack Long Painting" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG" width="275" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Angelica Jolie and Baby" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG"><img id="image114" style="width: 290px; height: 210px" height="210" alt="Angelica Jolie and Baby" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG" width="290" /></a></p>
<p align="center">I don't know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it's clearly Jolie and child.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Garbage Can with Tribbles" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG"><img id="image115" style="width: 242px; height: 296px" height="296" alt="Garbage Can with Tribbles" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG" width="242" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Don't know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture.Â At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG"><img id="image116" style="width: 300px; height: 232px" height="232" alt="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG" width="300" /></a></p>
<p align="left">And here's me, just before getting a haircut.Â  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.Â  I'm wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.</p>
<p align="left">I can't say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo's (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.Â  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.</p>
<p align="left">I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.Â  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel ComicsÂ  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.Â  And then I went home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I stumbled upon <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and as this is ArtNYC, it's good to know there are Art Dealers in NYC that are also blogging.Â  I'm surprised there isÂ no RSS feed to select (perhaps Edward has not turned it on in his blogger console).

I also noticed there are many comments to Winkleman's post, a sign his blog is fairly well read.Â  I guess being an art dealer helps.Â 

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html</a>

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html</a>

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym</a>, a shared studio space that's usually empty - and I have 4000 sq ft to myself (there were two other woman painting today).
<p align="center"><img alt="My Segmented Life - Self Portrait" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/MySegmentedLife.JPG" /></p>
<p align="left">The picture I took of my large acrylic sketch/painting is "<strong>My Segmented Life</strong>" and is about 4 feet x 2.5 feet - my 1.3 mega-pixel camara is not able to get much better than this- I did the work in about 4 hours.Â Â  It's a self portait but I decided not to focus too much on detail.</p>
<p align="left">I have been thinking of merging my web analytics work with painting (or maybe it's a bad idea - I don't know).Â  My idea was to take traffic segmentation to pages of a web site as it shown in packages like ClickTracks and do the same thing in my painting - except the segmentation is the parts of my life (<em>I did not represent all the parts of my life - I just painted in a couple of segments as an after thought</em>).</p>
<p align="left">Was thinking of this idea for a couple of weeks - right after the artist <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/29/olan-montgomery-in-person-artist-interview-continued/"><em>Olan</em></a> drew a map of me, describing my life (while we were talking about life)Â -Â decided to see if I could paint my life as <a href="http://www.clicktracks.com/eliminate_guesswork.php">visitor segmentation map </a>- yet still hold it together as a painting (and avoid being too illustrative).</p>
<p align="left">I don't take any of these works that seriously, but I do find that I'm liking my work more, the less I try to "finish" it.Â  I used to spend so much effort trying to finish paintings and lately I don't have time - it has to work the first time - I don't know what my mood will be next time I come in to paint on something - don't want to mix moods - would rather just do the painting in one sitting <em>if I can</em>.</p>
<p align="left">So, incase you can't make it out, I painted the words "web analytics" in red in the lower left, "work" in the mid, upper left, "blogging" in the mid-upper right and "Seo" in the bottom right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went to the <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Dada.html">DADA show </a>at the MOMA this afternoon.Â  I put a bit of work into my post then my blog ate the post - and so I'm just writing a short description.

To me DADA is more an anti-movement than a real art movement - the attempt to take everyday objects and make them into Art seems asÂ <em>artificial</em> as the art it was meant to replace.

I can say this now, 80 years later - but at the time, the DADA artists thought they were doing everyone a favor - and maybe they were.Â  Except for a couple of works, most of the show is pretty much everyday objects that are made into Anti - Art (like Anti-Matter) by the artist.

But just because a Duchamp pissing pot is symetrical,Â itÂ does not mean it should be put into a museum - as the DADAist would have it.Â  The DADA movement was more important, historically, than for what it produced.

I also looked briefly at <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Douglas_Gordon/index.html">Douglas Gordon's Timeline exhibition </a>which was also at the MOMA. From the exhibition notes:
<blockquote>In his most well-known works, Scottish artist Douglas Gordon (b. 1966) addresses the familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating, reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewersâ€™ perceptions. His works provoke feelings of anxiety, recognition, and amnesia with respect to the circumstances of the reception of media today.

This retrospective of Gordonâ€™s work presents thirteen significant works by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake) (1997), and Play Dead; Real Time (2003).

By forcing new encounters with the familiar and confrontations with the willfully forgotten, Gordon exposes the distance between our dimmed, distorted memories and, perhaps, the truthâ€”emphatically demonstrating that what he sculpts is not only media but time itself.</blockquote>
My take, the show seemed stupid to me - it was trying to take what looked like the 1930's mimialist paintings and illustrate a relationship that really happens much better in my mind than in film.

I have been to many art openings recently, and with the proliferation of Computer Generated Films, many artists are trying to be deep filmmakers - but more often than not, what I see is noise - something I feel I should look at but really don't want to.

But why force myself to look at something that's not attractive or interesting to look at at the first place?Â Â Â  The modern filmmaker can have the same problem as DADA tried to solve - taking the ordinary and making it into art.Â  In the case of DADA, they took <strong><em>garbage</em></strong> and said it was sublime.Â  Modern filmmakers like Douglas Gordon are taking the ordinary and trying to super-impose some fake meaning - a meaning that looks <em>artificial</em> - the same way the DADA stuff looked to me.Â 

Give me something real - and natural and interesting to look at - not these Pseudo Movies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent about 30 minutes really studying the Rebmrandt drawings and etchings in the following show (see below):
<blockquote>Rembrandt and His Circle: Drawings and Prints
July 11, 2006â€“October 15, 2006
Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery for Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem.jpg' alt='' /></center>
Â 
</blockquote>
Â From theÂ Exhibition notes:
<blockquote>This exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606â€“1669). Selected from the Museum's world-class collection, these 58 graphic works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and his pupils illustrate the range of Rembrandt's creative geniusâ€”his spontaneity, originality, and innovative approach to traditional media.</blockquote>
What I noticed was how much Rembrandt's drawings are poetical - as a natural extension of himself.Â Â  I see many of the drawings as "pre-paintings" and while I don't go into the strong light/dark thing that was popular at the time - I do appreciate the poetry of his drawings.
Sometimes, there's touches of pigment to promote depth - something I would not have thought that Rembrandt needed to do - since his drawings are so strong, as they are.Â 

But then I realized, there really is not limitation on what an artist can or should do, save the limitations they put on themselves.Â Â 

If Rembrandt need some pigment to pull out a face or a Tiger's mane, who I am say it's not the right thing to do?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent a couple of hours at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art </a>this evening and discovered that I overlooked the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/romantic_more.asp">Girodet Exhibition </a>on my recent visits because I did not know about it.
<blockquote>
</blockquote><blockquote>
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
May 24, 2006â€“August 27, 2006
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Â </blockquote>

From the Exhibition Notes:
<blockquote>This is the first American retrospective devoted to A. L. Girodet-Trioson (1767â€“1824), a favored but rebellious pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Girodetâ€™s idiosyncratic style fuses Davidâ€™s Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. A selection of approximately 100 paintings and works on paper reflects his originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleonâ€™s military triumphs.Â Â </blockquote>
Here's the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images.asp">paintings I responded to the mostÂ </a>.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/view_1.asp?item=0">The Oath of the Horatii</a>, 1786
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748â€“1825)
Toledo Museum of Art.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

I thought The Oath of the Horatii was a David painting - but this "copy" was also sorta an original and surpassed David, I'm told, in the transparancies in the background.Â  While David ran a tight ship, and made his students compete with each other - Girodet began to develop a dislike of David and decided to move away from his former master as soon as began to mature as an artist.Â 

I think David's studio was probably a good place to be during the late 1780's - 1790's but if you wanted to develop your own individuality - you needed to break away from David, and that's what Girodet did.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Endymion.T.jpg">The Sleep of Endymion</a>, 1791
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e du Louvre, Paris.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem3.jpg' alt='' /></center>

It was hard to believe the same artist that painted in under David would also paint something so different than anything that David would have done, or approved of.Â  Of course, by the time Girodet painted The Sleep of Endymion, he was living in Rome, having won the Prix De Rome in 1789 (it was a good time to get away from Paris anyway - right?).

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Burial-of-.T.jpg">Burial of Atala</a> (rÃ©pÃ©tition of 1808 original), 1813
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e Girodet, Montargis.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem4.jpg' alt='' /></center>

The masterpiece in the show - the one painting that would cement Girodet's place in Art History.Â  One thing I noticed - there are artists that are important in their time, and go on to be famous for "all time" - like Velasquez, Titian, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Constable, Rembrandt, etc.Â Â  Then there are no less deserving artists who are important for their time, but don't transend into universality - Girodet is one of these types of artists - though at moments he almost touches pure greatness.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Chateaubriand.T.jpg">FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand</a>, 1808
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e d'Histoire et d'Ethnographie, Saint-Malo

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem5.jpg' alt='' /> </center>Â 

What can I say; I never read Chateaubriand but the image is very familar to me - and therefore I can say this painting is one of the more important one's in the show, to me, for that reason.

<strong>Burial of Atala was probably my favorite painting in the show</strong>; everyone in NYC who is into art should go and see the Girodet: Romantic Rebel show - there's only three weeks left.Â  I'll probably go once more before the show closes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The New York Times talks about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/technology/03basics.html?ex=1155268800&en=298298e6e1f6d727&ei=5012&partner=CNET">H.D.R. Photography</a>.
<blockquote>"<strong>Although H.D.R. photos are often compared to paintings</strong>, they are an attempt by software makers to allow photography to more accurately mimic human vision.

Dynamic range measures how great a difference between light and dark can be captured by a digital camera or film. Relative to the human eye, all photography has a limited dynamic range, and digital photography suffers even more than film.

It is this limitation that leads to landscape photos where a dramatic sky appears as a washed-out smudge. A classic example of the problem is trying to photograph a roomâ€™s interior while still capturing the view outside its windows. In that case, photographers are usually forced to choose either the room or its view as their subject.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/pic2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"The concept of H.D.R. photography is fairly simple. It starts with a photographer harvesting every bit of difference in brightness by taking several different photos of the same scene, with large exposure differences between them. Software then sorts through the resulting images, which range from underexposed views that are nearly black to washed-out overexposures, to calculate the full dynamic range of the view. Using that vast amount of data, it then constructs a single, high dynamic range photo.</p>
At least thatâ€™s the theory. While the actual practice can be highly automated, it is slightly more complicated.</blockquote>
These H.D.R enhanced photos, such as those shown in the New York Times, look like illustrations or highly polished paintings - but they're still photographs.Â  I think the story here is not so much about High Dynamic Range Photos but the power that highend Adobe Software brings to the average photographer who has many more options of where to go with their photos than ever before.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I came across a press release earlier today about digital paintings that change based on your <a href="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/releases/artmodd030806.html">emotional state</a>.Â  This looks interesting but I'm not sure how easy it would be for your average artist to use the technology.
<blockquote>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic artwork that changes to match the mood of the person who is looking at it.</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the person viewing the artwork.</p>
<p style="clear: both">It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to suit the changing mood of the viewer.</p>
<p style="clear: both">For example, when the viewer is angry the colours are dark and appear to have been applied to the canvas with more violent brush strokes.</p>
<p style="clear: both">If their expression changes to happy, the artwork adapts so that the colours are vibrant and more subtly applied.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~vision/empaint/"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px" height="321" alt="Maria Shugrina trying out the software (click for video page)" src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/images/artmood.jpg" width="432" /> </a></p>
<p style="clear: both">The project forms part of on-going research looking to develop a range of advanced artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry.</p>
<p style="clear: both">This has already resulted in software which produces highly-detailed artistic versions of photographs, and allows designers to create animations directly from digital footage.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe programme analyses the image for eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer,â€ said Dr John Collomosse from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œIt does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewerâ€™s emotions change the artwork responds accordingly.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis results in a digital canvas that smoothly varies its colours and style, and provides a novel interactive artistic experience.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis kind of empathic painting only needs a desk top computer and a webcam to work, so once you have the programme and have calibrated it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start creating personalised art based on your mood.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe empathic painting is really an experiment into the feasibility of using high level control parameters, such as emotional state, to replace the many low-level tools that users currently have at their disposal to affect the output of artistic rendering.â€</p>
<p style="clear: both">The empathic painting project was carried out with Maria Shugrina and Margrit Betke from the University of Boston.</p>
<p style="clear: both">The images used in the project were created by the researchers using advanced artistic rendering techniques which give the computer-generated artwork the appearance of having been painted onto canvas.</p>
<p style="clear: both">More information on the empathic painting project, including a video demonstration, is available on the project website (see related links section).</p>
<p style="clear: both">The research was recently presented at the fourth International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) conference in Annecy as part of the International Animation Festival.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was thinking about a couple of details I left out of my last post about my interview with Olan tonight.

Olan Montgomery is very tuned into people's eyes and in his paintings he focuses on the eyes, esp in the portraits.Â  In one case Olan showed me the eyes of a portrait where all the details of that person's concern with recognition and copyrights was shown in symbols reflected in her eyes.Â  I don't think this is the portait he showed me but it's as close as I can find on his site.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img style="width: 397px; height: 402px" height="402" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/olgapavlova.jpg" width="397" /></font></p>
When you look at the eyes closely you'll see all kinds of things.

Speaking of seeing the soul of person in their eyes, I asked Olan to tell me what he saw in my eyes.Â Â  Honestly, being a Scorpio, I usually try to read others and don't want them to see into me.Â  But I think we all really want to be known as well (and it would be curious to see what kind of Portrait Olan would do of me).

Olan did not really want to say at first what he saw in my eyesÂ - he sorta brushed over it.Â  Then I asked again - and he said I was afraid of dying without having really lived and done things I wanted to do in my life yet.Â  He said he could see, in my eyes, that I was pre-occurpied with that - and that I did not need to worry so much about it - that what I wanted I could have now.

We discussed a couple of other things about why I started painting again and Olan said he'd like to own one of my paintings - he liked them.Â 

Olan talked a lot about his childhood, his family, the way he was brought up, and his Mother, EslyeÂ .Â  He's very close to his mother and feels she is more charitable by nature than he is (which is saying a lot because Olan appears to be a very charitable person - so if his mother is more than that, she must be very charitable).Â  He talked about how his mother would take his sibelings and some of the orphaned children near where he grew up to Museums as often as she could and how her life was devoted to art - and is devoted to art.Â Â  He mentioned that his father had a stroke 12 years ago and she takes care of him but never talks much about it.Â  Olan also talked about his twin brother and how they took very different paths in life, his brother being in theÂ army at one time, and really going after totally different things - and their orientation was different as well.

So, my first part of the interview was more concerned about the outer things -Â  but this part ofÂ my interview is more concerned about the inner part of Olan's life.

Olan is also a cosmetics specialist and is called in for model shoots and that explains his relationship with <a href="http://marmagazine.com/">M.A.R. Magazine</a>- where his painting graces the current issue with a portrait of Anne Hathaway, whom Olan has met.Â 

In fact, you can see the relationship between the models of M.A.R. magazine and many of Olan's paintings over the last year or two - it looks like his portraits, in some cases, grew out of his contacts with the models and his use of color and focus on the face grew out his work as a Cosmetics Specialist - which is a model's best friend.

I would not have written this second post on the Olan interview tonight - were it not for needing to present, as much as I could, a fuller account - and while I did not take photos, which I could have, I focused again, on just talking and letting the conversation form itself - much as a painting takes form.

Another thing Olan did with me tonight is take the areas of my life and drew them out as themes as they related to me (ie: Art, time alone, 9/11, Job) - it reminded me of the way a web analyst would segment traffic coming to a website or page - but in this case, the website/page is me - and the categories are part of my life.

So among the things Olan can call himself - a psychic, a soul reader, a keen observer who looks into the eyes looking for the soul.

And that's the end of my interview of Olan Montgomery - for now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it much easier to write an interview of Olan without looking at my notes from tonight's dinner meeting; I met Olan down at his Gallery and we had dinner next, and he game me one of his small paintings as well (the painting was based on the image below - of a young, homeless, gay woman the artist befriended).Â Â  I was attracted to the face of a larger painting of this model and he gave me a smaller version of it.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Model" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/model.JPG" /></font></p>
We spoke about his current show which will be coming down soon and it's success.Â  <em>I asked Olan to define the metrics for a successful show</em> - that started a conversation where different arragements of sponserships and other commissioned works leads to a profitable show.Â  The money part of art was something Olan did not really want to focus onÂ  - he wants to be free to do his art and not have to get involved with the politics of gallery dealers and collectors.Â  We talked about how difficult it is to do art and live in NYC and that society, as it is today, is focused on the wrong things - like getting ahead at the cost of hurting other people.Â 

Olan thinks deeply about this and tells me he did not care for what happened recently on The View and how Star was replaced.

We moved on to another subject, using the internet to go past dealers and reach fans directly - Olan was intrigured with the idea of The Long Tail and using the internet to sell his work - but did not really know how to go about it.

I mentioned <a href="http://www.amycrehore.com/">Amy Crehore</a>, and her devoted fan base plus the writeups in <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/03/amy_crehores_the_cre.html">Boing Boing </a>as an example of reaching fans and buyers without <em>going through dealers</em> (though she also does have dealers of her work).Â  Also the recent addition of <strong>Charles Saatchiâ€™s</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website which <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8532"><strong>Olan Montgomery</strong>Â used to create his own mini-site with his work</a>.Â  Olan found out about the Saatchi online gallery through me, as did a friend of mine, Drew Knapp, who did the same thing (posted his work).

In fact, I used the Saatchi online gallery to discuss the first instance, to my knowledge, of a Major Gallery Dealer getting involved with Social Marketing, Viral Marketing - it's as if Charles Saatchi gets it - he understands that many artists want a legitamate way to reach dealers like himself and Saatchi also wants to discover new artists - so he makes it possible to do so with the <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website - and become the most progressive art dealer.Â  Yes, I give Charles Saatchi credit for seeing something that needed to be done in social media and doing it (and he did a good job with Your Gallery).

Olan mentioned the Chelesa art galleries in the West 20's where some artists are able to get sponsership but to just survive and do their work, is such a struggle (it always has been).Â Â  Olan mentioned that being an Art Dealer was a good business to be in - but being an artist is much harder.Â Â  I interjected and said it was always like that with a couple of artist superstars (ie: Picasso is a prime example) making a most of the money while most other artists can hardly make anything.Â Â 

In fact, <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/07/day_of_the_long_tail_movie.html">with the Long Tail</a>, created by theÂ economies of the internet - many artists can thrive in ways that would have been much harder even 5 years ago (and that is not generally understood yet)Â - I think Amy Crehore is an example of that - an artist with a strong fan base - who really can do well with internet publicityÂ - and you don't need to be a Picasso (or the modern version of that - or even be part of theÂ <a href="http://www.whitney.org/">Whitney Biennial</a> (see my review of the Whitney Biennial <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/04/my_review_of_the_2006_whitney.html">here</a>) to utilize the power of internet to magnify your brand.

In fact, there's much that I did not discuss with Olan tonightÂ - I will have to cover in the next interview.Â  For example - Olan's site uses AdSense and Affiliate Marketing, along with a series of articles and news - and it was only by looking at it in detail tonight - after speaking with him (where he mentioned he does write articles and post to his site and on other sites as well) that I went back and took a look at some of what he posted.Â  What I see is we need another interview do discuss how he approaches his website marketing of his own work and brand and what kind of volume of visitors his site generates.Â  These are questions for Webmetricsguru.com but they apply here as Olan clearly is using the power of Google Advertising and Affiliate Marketing toÂ  make part of a living.Â 

Olan suggested we get together again, on a monthly basis to continue this conversation.Â  We also talked about having me interview his mother, who is also an artist and a very interesting person.Â 

Getting back to the interview I did tonight -I found out an interesting metric - it takes Olan about 0.00, or more to produce one painting using the techniques and media he employs (there's often the cost of the paints, strecher, linen, photo transfer, etc) and that he sees all the work he does and what he makes off it as a way to continue painting - in other words, much of the money made on a show is re-invested back into this work - and I think that's the right thing for an artist to do, personally.

The meeting ended with a walk back, next door, to Ward-Nasse Gallery where Olan showed me the work of other artists in the Gallery and introduced me to the Art Dealer who runs Ward-Nasse.Â Â  I also took the opportunity to look at some more of Olan's paintings near the back of the Gallery that I had not really looked at as well as some of the other artists who have shows at Ward-Nasse.

By the Way, Olan did treat me to dinner which included Pasta and two glasses of red wine each.Â  Olan had his dog with him, and the dog was begging us for food - I ate all of mine so Olan put out part of his pasta plate - about a third of the dish and the dog finished it.

And that's it for tonight's interview with Olan Montgomery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I missed <a href="http://nystudiogallery.com/">Innerscapes by Rachel Madden </a>but I would have rather had seen that show than what was at Six Feet Under (which I did end up seeing);Â  I just did not show up on time.
<blockquote>INNERSCAPES
Paintings by Rachel Madden
July 13 â€“ September 3, 2006

Opening reception: Thursday, July 27, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM

NY Studio Gallery
is pleased to present paintings by Rachel Madden.These intimate, mesmerizing oil on canvas landscapes relay an intrinsically meditative quality springing from the human condition of hope amid despair.Â </blockquote>

<p align="center"><img title="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" style="width: 417px; height: 299px" height="299" alt="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" src="http://nystudiogallery.com/Rachelindex.jpg" width="417" /></p>
<p align="left">Hopefully this picture is not too large (in pixel size) or else I'll need to resize it.</p>
<p align="left">Kinda similar, in some respects to Bonnard's work and does not have a title and is 24 x 30 inches.Â Â  Had I arrived earlier - this would have been the show to see.</p>
<p align="left">I have a problem with making it over to the West Side - its' really out of the way for me.Â  The galleries that have taken over Chelsea are mixed in with moving companies and the remains of the 3rd Avenue EL.Â  I have mixed feelings about having so many galleries that far west.Â  On the good side - you can hit several openings at one time; on the bad side - it's really an effort to go there in the first place.</p>
<p align="left">I wish the galleries would do something extra to encourage more people to come over to Chelsea - like provide a free meal, or a free something - I don't know - I just think that sticking all the galleries in Chelsea does not quite feel right or natural - but maybe that's just me.Â  I liked all this stuff down in Soho much better.Â </p>
<p align="left">And By the way, Park Slope and Brooklyn is up and coming and maybe thats' the place to be.Â  Forget about Chelsea, go and build all these galleries in Park Slope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I showed up to a video installation of Lutz Bacher's Scences from the Ring at the <a href="http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/2830">Six Feet Under </a>Gallery in West 26th street and 10th Avenue.
<blockquote>Jarrett Gregory - July 27th
featuring Lutz Bacher

Six Feet Under is a theme-driven annual summer series featuring six proposals by six curators. As in previous years, the purpose of the series is to offer each curator and artist a weeklong opportunity to tackle White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. The exhibitions are viewed through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby and in [VideoBox], a division of White Box located in an adjacent outdoor window.

This last and final edition brings to an end the six-year long series with a topic that specifically addresses the impact and scope of the Chelsea Arts District real estate development. Six young and emerging curators are invited to select six galleries, each of which will then suggest an artist to work with. The artists will present and install a work that reflects upon the realities and relationships of Chelsea's artists' studios and galleries versus the rampant real estate speculation that has resulted in forever-escalating costs affecting the entire arts industry. Perhaps the real question is whether or not there is complicity between all the forces at play and why some artists and galleries end up losing and others win, which in turn will affect, in unknown ways, the community we have forged.

Organized by Juan Puntes</blockquote>
However, the show I saw does not match up with the program notes, above.Â  I have usually had a hard time understanding or accepting Video Art in Galleries (presented much as paintings would be) as I don't understand what the message isÂ  - and I usually haven't been able to "get it".Â  I did not "get it" tonight either.

I love the online videos from YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, etc, that I can stream on my websiteÂ - but I don't understand the message and economics here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was finally able to get over to the <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>today to do a little painting; I took my son Adam with me and managed to get him to sit for me and did this sketch (below).

<font face="Courier New"><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/Adam.JPG' alt='Adam S.' /></font>

It's difficult enough to get a teenager to sit still for long - I managed to get Adam to sit for about 90 minutes.

I usually try to finish whatever I'm working on in the same sitting - as far as I can.Â  Years ago, when I painted more often, I felt I often overpainted and it took much longer to achieve anything.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/22/baplab-july-22-2006-3rd-ward-in-brooklyn-ny/">my last post</a>, I planned to go to BAPLab2006 and I did; I'm 80 dollars poorer for it but I had a good time and it was all in the name of Art, or something like that.Â  I took a lot of pictures too - but I'm not sure it makes sense to post them here as quickly take up space on the webservers - maybe I'll post one or two pictures, that's it.

There were a couple of thousand people attending a werehouse that was converted into a large art gallery - happening space.Â Some of the same artists that were part of the NYU Interactive Communications Program were also in this show and I spoke to one artist whom I remembered from a couple of months ago.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Portrait of Me altered" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/IMG00039.JPG" /></font></p>
Â 

There was a photo montage that altered a person and you could interact with it - and I am showing me, being altered, not for the better, I'm afraid.Â  Actually, the work I was part of here was called Musical Chari: A Game for One Musical Chair: A Game for One.Â  This work is influenced by the artist's (Geoffery Bell) fascination with visual apparatuses from the 19th Century.Â Â  When the viewer remains still (me in this case) the repetitive images of the viewer gradually coalesce into a single image.Â  Audio segments are also triggered and manipulated by the viewer's movements (that's me, again).

Â Other Artists I looked at were Ernesto Kar's Convergenze Parallele, Jake Klotz's Rejoice/Restage and another work called Robot/ a canternary project.Â 

One thing - I went up to the third floor and noticed some bathrooms without doors - they were part of the art installation but people were using them as actual bathrooms - and I must admit, so did I.Â  I think, only men did this - I did not see any woman using the art installation / bathrooms this way.

There was also a walled off room where some "oracles" were doing readings - or something - and there were silkscreen pictures of nude woman that were semi transparant (that made it interesting to know what was going on inside).Â  However, I never did find out as i was too hot and the line too long.

I should add that the show I attended appeared to be made up of a couple of groups including the 3rd Ward, a member based studio and workshop facility geared towards established and emerging artists - with facilities for audio/music recording, dance/performance studios, sculpture and fabrication, Digital Media Lab that is fully equipped, a gallery, converence space, lounge and Internet Access Cafe.Â Â  Sounds like 3rd Ward and the Bushwick Art Program have it all wrapped up (everythingÂ a modern artist could want) except the location - the location is too far out of the way for me to want to go over there - but if you live in GreenPoint, or nearby, it's probably a good place to have studio space - there was a little floor bot robot painting a painting of about the 1970's.Â  Don't ask me what it all means as I don't know.

I also found out about another artist space that is technology oriented closer to home called <a href="http://www.lemurplex.org/">LEMURPLEX</a>, located at 451 3rd Avenue, pretty close to <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>(which I need to go over to, maybe Sunday - today - haven't been over there for a couple of weeks and I need to paint).
<blockquote>LEMURplex is a new performance/gallery/teaching space in Brooklyn, located between the vibrant neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Red Hook. LEMURplex will teach and showcase the best in art and technology.

<strong>LEMURplex is the home and workshop of LEMUR</strong>: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots. Founded in 2000, LEMUR is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. LEMUR's work is shown throughout the world in performances and installations. For information on LEMUR, go to lemurbots.org.</blockquote>
How Fantastic!Â  Here, but a mile or two from where I live a couple of blocks from where I paint, exists the League of Electronic Muscial Urban Robots that goes all over the world to perform and create installations.Â  There's also courses that are tought - but at this time I don't think I'll be taking any of these (they're programming oriented - but more for visual artists that want to do robotics - a path I went down several years ago but found I did not have the interest or focus for it).

I'm glad I went to BAPLab2006 tonight - I'd probably not even have learnt about LEMURplex had I not gone - it's also nice to see a new batch of artists - the future (which I see myself as a bridge to - I'm old enough to have lived in the 60's and 70's yet progressive enough to really live and identify with the artists of the 21st Century).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[There's an opening tonight in BrooklynÂ thatÂ IÂ will attend tonightÂ (if you can get to it) - or at least, <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1">look at their website</a>.
<blockquote>This summer BAP will be hosting the first in a series of programs entitled the â€œBAPLabâ€ taking place on July 22nd 2006. Showcasing well known artists side by side with emerging artists, the Labâ€™s purpose is to expose both audience and artists alike to the vast spectrum of digital culture. <strong>Located at 3rd Ward, in the outer edges of Bushwick,</strong> (<em>that's why I probably won't make it over there)</em> the Lab is <em>an experimental event</em> where artists are encouraged to explore new paths and investigate new ideas through a curated program of electronic music, video, sound installations and interactive works.

Part exhibition, part creative R&D program, the BAPLab is a festival of ideas.Â  An environment where artists can explore new approaches to creative expression.

I liked listening to <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=31">Pathways To Pluto </a>- by r. john valeo - perhaps it's because I'm a Scorpio that I'd like Pluto music.Â  But then there's Red Wine Reduction by Handshake or Sex Deluxe by Hakan Lidbo - you can hear all of the work by going to the website.</blockquote>
BTW, this BAP lab show sounds (no kidding!) similar to <strong>NYU'sÂ Interactive Communications Program Spring Show</strong> which I covered in great detail on Webmetricsguru.com a couple of months ago.

<a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/05/interactive_show_mobbed.html">Interactive show mobbed</a>Â <em>(I first heard about the NYU show via Smartmobs.com, a site I also write for now - but did not write for them at the time).</em>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Happened upon <strong>Charles Saatchi's</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/">Your Gallery </a>website which seems to me to be the <a href="http://imoralist.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-friend-charles-saatchi.html">first instance </a>of <strong><em>Art Dealers getting into the Social Media scene</em></strong>.Â  Instead of looking for artist to represent - Saatchi is allowing the artist to post their work onto his site <em>(ok, he did not invite everyone - but yet anyone can post their work).</em>

There's also a <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/virtual-tour-windows.htm">virtual tour </a>of the actual Saatchi Collection in London that looks part Computer Animation and part Photography. What's noticable to me is that the figures in the virtual tour are immobile, much as the art iself - perhaps in this case, the figures are part of the art of Virtual Tour (you can't see the pictures on the wall very well - the movie is really about taking a tour of the Saatchi Gallery, not what is in the Gallery.

Perhaps the only thing missing from the Virtual TourÂ was <a href="http://wilddivine.com/">Wild Divine's biofeedback mechinism</a> to make a tour interactive - As Wild Divine's <a href="http://wilddivine.com/Demo/">Wisdom Quest </a>is (the <a href="http://www.wilddivine.com/WhatsNew/#">second Computer Game from Wild Divine</a>).

Getting back to posting your art in Saatchi's Gallery, <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8466">I postedÂ one of my own</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went over to the <a href="http://www.stuxgallery.com/">STUX Gallery </a>tonight to view <strong>Six Degrees of Separation 2</strong> - The inner Workings of Cold Contact.Â  Boy was it crowded!Â  Had a beer but had to work to find out where they were searving the free drinks.Â  Lots of things I would probably not care to own - some photos that were life size but whose subject was hard to look at - or want to.

New York Fine Art (<a href="http://www.nyfineart.com/">www.nyfineart.com</a>) also had a opening tonight - I'm not sure I attended as I attended for or 5 shows and what IÂ saw and where I went seems to be a blur now.

There areÂ many Galleries that used to be in Soho that moved up toÂ theÂ Chelsea section of Manhattan.Â  I'm not saying it's bad - there was a struture toÂ attending these NYÂ Galleries that would have been missing had they stayed down in Soho.Â  On the other hand, it feels somewhat artifical to stick all the galleries right next to each other on the lower West Side of Manhattan.

I also saw a photography show calle "It's very difficult to keep the line between theÂ  past and the present.Â  Know what I mean?"Â  I likedÂ several of the photographs inÂ the show at <a href="http://www.clampart.com/">Clamp Art</a>.Â Â 

Also got together with some of the greatest Podcasters in New York at NYC Podcasting Meetup Group - these are a dedicated group of Podcasters who meet once a month.

Time for me to signup off and go to bed - I don't believe how much I did and saw tonight!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called "Smitten".Â  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.Â  Here's some pictures I took at the opening.Â  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG"><img id="image111" style="height: 206px" height="206" alt="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG" width="272" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Giant Robot New York, approaching store (left) and Gallery (right - in Red).</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="GRNY Group Show" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG"><img id="image112" style="width: 266px; height: 215px" height="215" alt="GRNY Group Show" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG" width="266" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it's small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Jack Long Painting" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG"><img id="image113" style="width: 275px; height: 228px" height="228" alt="Jack Long Painting" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG" width="275" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Angelica Jolie and Baby" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG"><img id="image114" style="width: 290px; height: 210px" height="210" alt="Angelica Jolie and Baby" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG" width="290" /></a></p>
<p align="center">I don't know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it's clearly Jolie and child.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Garbage Can with Tribbles" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG"><img id="image115" style="width: 242px; height: 296px" height="296" alt="Garbage Can with Tribbles" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG" width="242" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Don't know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture.Â At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG"><img id="image116" style="width: 300px; height: 232px" height="232" alt="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG" width="300" /></a></p>
<p align="left">And here's me, just before getting a haircut.Â  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.Â  I'm wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.</p>
<p align="left">I can't say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo's (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.Â  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.</p>
<p align="left">I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.Â  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel ComicsÂ  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.Â  And then I went home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I stumbled upon <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and as this is ArtNYC, it's good to know there are Art Dealers in NYC that are also blogging.Â  I'm surprised there isÂ no RSS feed to select (perhaps Edward has not turned it on in his blogger console).

I also noticed there are many comments to Winkleman's post, a sign his blog is fairly well read.Â  I guess being an art dealer helps.Â 

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html</a>

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html</a>

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym</a>, a shared studio space that's usually empty - and I have 4000 sq ft to myself (there were two other woman painting today).
<p align="center"><img alt="My Segmented Life - Self Portrait" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/MySegmentedLife.JPG" /></p>
<p align="left">The picture I took of my large acrylic sketch/painting is "<strong>My Segmented Life</strong>" and is about 4 feet x 2.5 feet - my 1.3 mega-pixel camara is not able to get much better than this- I did the work in about 4 hours.Â Â  It's a self portait but I decided not to focus too much on detail.</p>
<p align="left">I have been thinking of merging my web analytics work with painting (or maybe it's a bad idea - I don't know).Â  My idea was to take traffic segmentation to pages of a web site as it shown in packages like ClickTracks and do the same thing in my painting - except the segmentation is the parts of my life (<em>I did not represent all the parts of my life - I just painted in a couple of segments as an after thought</em>).</p>
<p align="left">Was thinking of this idea for a couple of weeks - right after the artist <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/29/olan-montgomery-in-person-artist-interview-continued/"><em>Olan</em></a> drew a map of me, describing my life (while we were talking about life)Â -Â decided to see if I could paint my life as <a href="http://www.clicktracks.com/eliminate_guesswork.php">visitor segmentation map </a>- yet still hold it together as a painting (and avoid being too illustrative).</p>
<p align="left">I don't take any of these works that seriously, but I do find that I'm liking my work more, the less I try to "finish" it.Â  I used to spend so much effort trying to finish paintings and lately I don't have time - it has to work the first time - I don't know what my mood will be next time I come in to paint on something - don't want to mix moods - would rather just do the painting in one sitting <em>if I can</em>.</p>
<p align="left">So, incase you can't make it out, I painted the words "web analytics" in red in the lower left, "work" in the mid, upper left, "blogging" in the mid-upper right and "Seo" in the bottom right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went to the <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Dada.html">DADA show </a>at the MOMA this afternoon.Â  I put a bit of work into my post then my blog ate the post - and so I'm just writing a short description.

To me DADA is more an anti-movement than a real art movement - the attempt to take everyday objects and make them into Art seems asÂ <em>artificial</em> as the art it was meant to replace.

I can say this now, 80 years later - but at the time, the DADA artists thought they were doing everyone a favor - and maybe they were.Â  Except for a couple of works, most of the show is pretty much everyday objects that are made into Anti - Art (like Anti-Matter) by the artist.

But just because a Duchamp pissing pot is symetrical,Â itÂ does not mean it should be put into a museum - as the DADAist would have it.Â  The DADA movement was more important, historically, than for what it produced.

I also looked briefly at <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Douglas_Gordon/index.html">Douglas Gordon's Timeline exhibition </a>which was also at the MOMA. From the exhibition notes:
<blockquote>In his most well-known works, Scottish artist Douglas Gordon (b. 1966) addresses the familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating, reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewersâ€™ perceptions. His works provoke feelings of anxiety, recognition, and amnesia with respect to the circumstances of the reception of media today.

This retrospective of Gordonâ€™s work presents thirteen significant works by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake) (1997), and Play Dead; Real Time (2003).

By forcing new encounters with the familiar and confrontations with the willfully forgotten, Gordon exposes the distance between our dimmed, distorted memories and, perhaps, the truthâ€”emphatically demonstrating that what he sculpts is not only media but time itself.</blockquote>
My take, the show seemed stupid to me - it was trying to take what looked like the 1930's mimialist paintings and illustrate a relationship that really happens much better in my mind than in film.

I have been to many art openings recently, and with the proliferation of Computer Generated Films, many artists are trying to be deep filmmakers - but more often than not, what I see is noise - something I feel I should look at but really don't want to.

But why force myself to look at something that's not attractive or interesting to look at at the first place?Â Â Â  The modern filmmaker can have the same problem as DADA tried to solve - taking the ordinary and making it into art.Â  In the case of DADA, they took <strong><em>garbage</em></strong> and said it was sublime.Â  Modern filmmakers like Douglas Gordon are taking the ordinary and trying to super-impose some fake meaning - a meaning that looks <em>artificial</em> - the same way the DADA stuff looked to me.Â 

Give me something real - and natural and interesting to look at - not these Pseudo Movies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent about 30 minutes really studying the Rebmrandt drawings and etchings in the following show (see below):
<blockquote>Rembrandt and His Circle: Drawings and Prints
July 11, 2006â€“October 15, 2006
Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery for Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem.jpg' alt='' /></center>
Â 
</blockquote>
Â From theÂ Exhibition notes:
<blockquote>This exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606â€“1669). Selected from the Museum's world-class collection, these 58 graphic works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and his pupils illustrate the range of Rembrandt's creative geniusâ€”his spontaneity, originality, and innovative approach to traditional media.</blockquote>
What I noticed was how much Rembrandt's drawings are poetical - as a natural extension of himself.Â Â  I see many of the drawings as "pre-paintings" and while I don't go into the strong light/dark thing that was popular at the time - I do appreciate the poetry of his drawings.
Sometimes, there's touches of pigment to promote depth - something I would not have thought that Rembrandt needed to do - since his drawings are so strong, as they are.Â 

But then I realized, there really is not limitation on what an artist can or should do, save the limitations they put on themselves.Â Â 

If Rembrandt need some pigment to pull out a face or a Tiger's mane, who I am say it's not the right thing to do?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent a couple of hours at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art </a>this evening and discovered that I overlooked the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/romantic_more.asp">Girodet Exhibition </a>on my recent visits because I did not know about it.
<blockquote>
</blockquote><blockquote>
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
May 24, 2006â€“August 27, 2006
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Â </blockquote>

From the Exhibition Notes:
<blockquote>This is the first American retrospective devoted to A. L. Girodet-Trioson (1767â€“1824), a favored but rebellious pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Girodetâ€™s idiosyncratic style fuses Davidâ€™s Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. A selection of approximately 100 paintings and works on paper reflects his originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleonâ€™s military triumphs.Â Â </blockquote>
Here's the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images.asp">paintings I responded to the mostÂ </a>.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/view_1.asp?item=0">The Oath of the Horatii</a>, 1786
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748â€“1825)
Toledo Museum of Art.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

I thought The Oath of the Horatii was a David painting - but this "copy" was also sorta an original and surpassed David, I'm told, in the transparancies in the background.Â  While David ran a tight ship, and made his students compete with each other - Girodet began to develop a dislike of David and decided to move away from his former master as soon as began to mature as an artist.Â 

I think David's studio was probably a good place to be during the late 1780's - 1790's but if you wanted to develop your own individuality - you needed to break away from David, and that's what Girodet did.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Endymion.T.jpg">The Sleep of Endymion</a>, 1791
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e du Louvre, Paris.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem3.jpg' alt='' /></center>

It was hard to believe the same artist that painted in under David would also paint something so different than anything that David would have done, or approved of.Â  Of course, by the time Girodet painted The Sleep of Endymion, he was living in Rome, having won the Prix De Rome in 1789 (it was a good time to get away from Paris anyway - right?).

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Burial-of-.T.jpg">Burial of Atala</a> (rÃ©pÃ©tition of 1808 original), 1813
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e Girodet, Montargis.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem4.jpg' alt='' /></center>

The masterpiece in the show - the one painting that would cement Girodet's place in Art History.Â  One thing I noticed - there are artists that are important in their time, and go on to be famous for "all time" - like Velasquez, Titian, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Constable, Rembrandt, etc.Â Â  Then there are no less deserving artists who are important for their time, but don't transend into universality - Girodet is one of these types of artists - though at moments he almost touches pure greatness.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Chateaubriand.T.jpg">FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand</a>, 1808
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e d'Histoire et d'Ethnographie, Saint-Malo

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem5.jpg' alt='' /> </center>Â 

What can I say; I never read Chateaubriand but the image is very familar to me - and therefore I can say this painting is one of the more important one's in the show, to me, for that reason.

<strong>Burial of Atala was probably my favorite painting in the show</strong>; everyone in NYC who is into art should go and see the Girodet: Romantic Rebel show - there's only three weeks left.Â  I'll probably go once more before the show closes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The New York Times talks about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/technology/03basics.html?ex=1155268800&en=298298e6e1f6d727&ei=5012&partner=CNET">H.D.R. Photography</a>.
<blockquote>"<strong>Although H.D.R. photos are often compared to paintings</strong>, they are an attempt by software makers to allow photography to more accurately mimic human vision.

Dynamic range measures how great a difference between light and dark can be captured by a digital camera or film. Relative to the human eye, all photography has a limited dynamic range, and digital photography suffers even more than film.

It is this limitation that leads to landscape photos where a dramatic sky appears as a washed-out smudge. A classic example of the problem is trying to photograph a roomâ€™s interior while still capturing the view outside its windows. In that case, photographers are usually forced to choose either the room or its view as their subject.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/pic2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"The concept of H.D.R. photography is fairly simple. It starts with a photographer harvesting every bit of difference in brightness by taking several different photos of the same scene, with large exposure differences between them. Software then sorts through the resulting images, which range from underexposed views that are nearly black to washed-out overexposures, to calculate the full dynamic range of the view. Using that vast amount of data, it then constructs a single, high dynamic range photo.</p>
At least thatâ€™s the theory. While the actual practice can be highly automated, it is slightly more complicated.</blockquote>
These H.D.R enhanced photos, such as those shown in the New York Times, look like illustrations or highly polished paintings - but they're still photographs.Â  I think the story here is not so much about High Dynamic Range Photos but the power that highend Adobe Software brings to the average photographer who has many more options of where to go with their photos than ever before.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I came across a press release earlier today about digital paintings that change based on your <a href="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/releases/artmodd030806.html">emotional state</a>.Â  This looks interesting but I'm not sure how easy it would be for your average artist to use the technology.
<blockquote>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic artwork that changes to match the mood of the person who is looking at it.</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the person viewing the artwork.</p>
<p style="clear: both">It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to suit the changing mood of the viewer.</p>
<p style="clear: both">For example, when the viewer is angry the colours are dark and appear to have been applied to the canvas with more violent brush strokes.</p>
<p style="clear: both">If their expression changes to happy, the artwork adapts so that the colours are vibrant and more subtly applied.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~vision/empaint/"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px" height="321" alt="Maria Shugrina trying out the software (click for video page)" src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/images/artmood.jpg" width="432" /> </a></p>
<p style="clear: both">The project forms part of on-going research looking to develop a range of advanced artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry.</p>
<p style="clear: both">This has already resulted in software which produces highly-detailed artistic versions of photographs, and allows designers to create animations directly from digital footage.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe programme analyses the image for eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer,â€ said Dr John Collomosse from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œIt does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewerâ€™s emotions change the artwork responds accordingly.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis results in a digital canvas that smoothly varies its colours and style, and provides a novel interactive artistic experience.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis kind of empathic painting only needs a desk top computer and a webcam to work, so once you have the programme and have calibrated it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start creating personalised art based on your mood.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe empathic painting is really an experiment into the feasibility of using high level control parameters, such as emotional state, to replace the many low-level tools that users currently have at their disposal to affect the output of artistic rendering.â€</p>
<p style="clear: both">The empathic painting project was carried out with Maria Shugrina and Margrit Betke from the University of Boston.</p>
<p style="clear: both">The images used in the project were created by the researchers using advanced artistic rendering techniques which give the computer-generated artwork the appearance of having been painted onto canvas.</p>
<p style="clear: both">More information on the empathic painting project, including a video demonstration, is available on the project website (see related links section).</p>
<p style="clear: both">The research was recently presented at the fourth International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) conference in Annecy as part of the International Animation Festival.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was thinking about a couple of details I left out of my last post about my interview with Olan tonight.

Olan Montgomery is very tuned into people's eyes and in his paintings he focuses on the eyes, esp in the portraits.Â  In one case Olan showed me the eyes of a portrait where all the details of that person's concern with recognition and copyrights was shown in symbols reflected in her eyes.Â  I don't think this is the portait he showed me but it's as close as I can find on his site.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img style="width: 397px; height: 402px" height="402" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/olgapavlova.jpg" width="397" /></font></p>
When you look at the eyes closely you'll see all kinds of things.

Speaking of seeing the soul of person in their eyes, I asked Olan to tell me what he saw in my eyes.Â Â  Honestly, being a Scorpio, I usually try to read others and don't want them to see into me.Â  But I think we all really want to be known as well (and it would be curious to see what kind of Portrait Olan would do of me).

Olan did not really want to say at first what he saw in my eyesÂ - he sorta brushed over it.Â  Then I asked again - and he said I was afraid of dying without having really lived and done things I wanted to do in my life yet.Â  He said he could see, in my eyes, that I was pre-occurpied with that - and that I did not need to worry so much about it - that what I wanted I could have now.

We discussed a couple of other things about why I started painting again and Olan said he'd like to own one of my paintings - he liked them.Â 

Olan talked a lot about his childhood, his family, the way he was brought up, and his Mother, EslyeÂ .Â  He's very close to his mother and feels she is more charitable by nature than he is (which is saying a lot because Olan appears to be a very charitable person - so if his mother is more than that, she must be very charitable).Â  He talked about how his mother would take his sibelings and some of the orphaned children near where he grew up to Museums as often as she could and how her life was devoted to art - and is devoted to art.Â Â  He mentioned that his father had a stroke 12 years ago and she takes care of him but never talks much about it.Â  Olan also talked about his twin brother and how they took very different paths in life, his brother being in theÂ army at one time, and really going after totally different things - and their orientation was different as well.

So, my first part of the interview was more concerned about the outer things -Â  but this part ofÂ my interview is more concerned about the inner part of Olan's life.

Olan is also a cosmetics specialist and is called in for model shoots and that explains his relationship with <a href="http://marmagazine.com/">M.A.R. Magazine</a>- where his painting graces the current issue with a portrait of Anne Hathaway, whom Olan has met.Â 

In fact, you can see the relationship between the models of M.A.R. magazine and many of Olan's paintings over the last year or two - it looks like his portraits, in some cases, grew out of his contacts with the models and his use of color and focus on the face grew out his work as a Cosmetics Specialist - which is a model's best friend.

I would not have written this second post on the Olan interview tonight - were it not for needing to present, as much as I could, a fuller account - and while I did not take photos, which I could have, I focused again, on just talking and letting the conversation form itself - much as a painting takes form.

Another thing Olan did with me tonight is take the areas of my life and drew them out as themes as they related to me (ie: Art, time alone, 9/11, Job) - it reminded me of the way a web analyst would segment traffic coming to a website or page - but in this case, the website/page is me - and the categories are part of my life.

So among the things Olan can call himself - a psychic, a soul reader, a keen observer who looks into the eyes looking for the soul.

And that's the end of my interview of Olan Montgomery - for now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it much easier to write an interview of Olan without looking at my notes from tonight's dinner meeting; I met Olan down at his Gallery and we had dinner next, and he game me one of his small paintings as well (the painting was based on the image below - of a young, homeless, gay woman the artist befriended).Â Â  I was attracted to the face of a larger painting of this model and he gave me a smaller version of it.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Model" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/model.JPG" /></font></p>
We spoke about his current show which will be coming down soon and it's success.Â  <em>I asked Olan to define the metrics for a successful show</em> - that started a conversation where different arragements of sponserships and other commissioned works leads to a profitable show.Â  The money part of art was something Olan did not really want to focus onÂ  - he wants to be free to do his art and not have to get involved with the politics of gallery dealers and collectors.Â  We talked about how difficult it is to do art and live in NYC and that society, as it is today, is focused on the wrong things - like getting ahead at the cost of hurting other people.Â 

Olan thinks deeply about this and tells me he did not care for what happened recently on The View and how Star was replaced.

We moved on to another subject, using the internet to go past dealers and reach fans directly - Olan was intrigured with the idea of The Long Tail and using the internet to sell his work - but did not really know how to go about it.

I mentioned <a href="http://www.amycrehore.com/">Amy Crehore</a>, and her devoted fan base plus the writeups in <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/03/amy_crehores_the_cre.html">Boing Boing </a>as an example of reaching fans and buyers without <em>going through dealers</em> (though she also does have dealers of her work).Â  Also the recent addition of <strong>Charles Saatchiâ€™s</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website which <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8532"><strong>Olan Montgomery</strong>Â used to create his own mini-site with his work</a>.Â  Olan found out about the Saatchi online gallery through me, as did a friend of mine, Drew Knapp, who did the same thing (posted his work).

In fact, I used the Saatchi online gallery to discuss the first instance, to my knowledge, of a Major Gallery Dealer getting involved with Social Marketing, Viral Marketing - it's as if Charles Saatchi gets it - he understands that many artists want a legitamate way to reach dealers like himself and Saatchi also wants to discover new artists - so he makes it possible to do so with the <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website - and become the most progressive art dealer.Â  Yes, I give Charles Saatchi credit for seeing something that needed to be done in social media and doing it (and he did a good job with Your Gallery).

Olan mentioned the Chelesa art galleries in the West 20's where some artists are able to get sponsership but to just survive and do their work, is such a struggle (it always has been).Â Â  Olan mentioned that being an Art Dealer was a good business to be in - but being an artist is much harder.Â Â  I interjected and said it was always like that with a couple of artist superstars (ie: Picasso is a prime example) making a most of the money while most other artists can hardly make anything.Â Â 

In fact, <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/07/day_of_the_long_tail_movie.html">with the Long Tail</a>, created by theÂ economies of the internet - many artists can thrive in ways that would have been much harder even 5 years ago (and that is not generally understood yet)Â - I think Amy Crehore is an example of that - an artist with a strong fan base - who really can do well with internet publicityÂ - and you don't need to be a Picasso (or the modern version of that - or even be part of theÂ <a href="http://www.whitney.org/">Whitney Biennial</a> (see my review of the Whitney Biennial <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/04/my_review_of_the_2006_whitney.html">here</a>) to utilize the power of internet to magnify your brand.

In fact, there's much that I did not discuss with Olan tonightÂ - I will have to cover in the next interview.Â  For example - Olan's site uses AdSense and Affiliate Marketing, along with a series of articles and news - and it was only by looking at it in detail tonight - after speaking with him (where he mentioned he does write articles and post to his site and on other sites as well) that I went back and took a look at some of what he posted.Â  What I see is we need another interview do discuss how he approaches his website marketing of his own work and brand and what kind of volume of visitors his site generates.Â  These are questions for Webmetricsguru.com but they apply here as Olan clearly is using the power of Google Advertising and Affiliate Marketing toÂ  make part of a living.Â 

Olan suggested we get together again, on a monthly basis to continue this conversation.Â  We also talked about having me interview his mother, who is also an artist and a very interesting person.Â 

Getting back to the interview I did tonight -I found out an interesting metric - it takes Olan about 0.00, or more to produce one painting using the techniques and media he employs (there's often the cost of the paints, strecher, linen, photo transfer, etc) and that he sees all the work he does and what he makes off it as a way to continue painting - in other words, much of the money made on a show is re-invested back into this work - and I think that's the right thing for an artist to do, personally.

The meeting ended with a walk back, next door, to Ward-Nasse Gallery where Olan showed me the work of other artists in the Gallery and introduced me to the Art Dealer who runs Ward-Nasse.Â Â  I also took the opportunity to look at some more of Olan's paintings near the back of the Gallery that I had not really looked at as well as some of the other artists who have shows at Ward-Nasse.

By the Way, Olan did treat me to dinner which included Pasta and two glasses of red wine each.Â  Olan had his dog with him, and the dog was begging us for food - I ate all of mine so Olan put out part of his pasta plate - about a third of the dish and the dog finished it.

And that's it for tonight's interview with Olan Montgomery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I missed <a href="http://nystudiogallery.com/">Innerscapes by Rachel Madden </a>but I would have rather had seen that show than what was at Six Feet Under (which I did end up seeing);Â  I just did not show up on time.
<blockquote>INNERSCAPES
Paintings by Rachel Madden
July 13 â€“ September 3, 2006

Opening reception: Thursday, July 27, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM

NY Studio Gallery
is pleased to present paintings by Rachel Madden.These intimate, mesmerizing oil on canvas landscapes relay an intrinsically meditative quality springing from the human condition of hope amid despair.Â </blockquote>

<p align="center"><img title="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" style="width: 417px; height: 299px" height="299" alt="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" src="http://nystudiogallery.com/Rachelindex.jpg" width="417" /></p>
<p align="left">Hopefully this picture is not too large (in pixel size) or else I'll need to resize it.</p>
<p align="left">Kinda similar, in some respects to Bonnard's work and does not have a title and is 24 x 30 inches.Â Â  Had I arrived earlier - this would have been the show to see.</p>
<p align="left">I have a problem with making it over to the West Side - its' really out of the way for me.Â  The galleries that have taken over Chelsea are mixed in with moving companies and the remains of the 3rd Avenue EL.Â  I have mixed feelings about having so many galleries that far west.Â  On the good side - you can hit several openings at one time; on the bad side - it's really an effort to go there in the first place.</p>
<p align="left">I wish the galleries would do something extra to encourage more people to come over to Chelsea - like provide a free meal, or a free something - I don't know - I just think that sticking all the galleries in Chelsea does not quite feel right or natural - but maybe that's just me.Â  I liked all this stuff down in Soho much better.Â </p>
<p align="left">And By the way, Park Slope and Brooklyn is up and coming and maybe thats' the place to be.Â  Forget about Chelsea, go and build all these galleries in Park Slope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I showed up to a video installation of Lutz Bacher's Scences from the Ring at the <a href="http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/2830">Six Feet Under </a>Gallery in West 26th street and 10th Avenue.
<blockquote>Jarrett Gregory - July 27th
featuring Lutz Bacher

Six Feet Under is a theme-driven annual summer series featuring six proposals by six curators. As in previous years, the purpose of the series is to offer each curator and artist a weeklong opportunity to tackle White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. The exhibitions are viewed through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby and in [VideoBox], a division of White Box located in an adjacent outdoor window.

This last and final edition brings to an end the six-year long series with a topic that specifically addresses the impact and scope of the Chelsea Arts District real estate development. Six young and emerging curators are invited to select six galleries, each of which will then suggest an artist to work with. The artists will present and install a work that reflects upon the realities and relationships of Chelsea's artists' studios and galleries versus the rampant real estate speculation that has resulted in forever-escalating costs affecting the entire arts industry. Perhaps the real question is whether or not there is complicity between all the forces at play and why some artists and galleries end up losing and others win, which in turn will affect, in unknown ways, the community we have forged.

Organized by Juan Puntes</blockquote>
However, the show I saw does not match up with the program notes, above.Â  I have usually had a hard time understanding or accepting Video Art in Galleries (presented much as paintings would be) as I don't understand what the message isÂ  - and I usually haven't been able to "get it".Â  I did not "get it" tonight either.

I love the online videos from YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, etc, that I can stream on my websiteÂ - but I don't understand the message and economics here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was finally able to get over to the <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>today to do a little painting; I took my son Adam with me and managed to get him to sit for me and did this sketch (below).

<font face="Courier New"><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/Adam.JPG' alt='Adam S.' /></font>

It's difficult enough to get a teenager to sit still for long - I managed to get Adam to sit for about 90 minutes.

I usually try to finish whatever I'm working on in the same sitting - as far as I can.Â  Years ago, when I painted more often, I felt I often overpainted and it took much longer to achieve anything.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/22/baplab-july-22-2006-3rd-ward-in-brooklyn-ny/">my last post</a>, I planned to go to BAPLab2006 and I did; I'm 80 dollars poorer for it but I had a good time and it was all in the name of Art, or something like that.Â  I took a lot of pictures too - but I'm not sure it makes sense to post them here as quickly take up space on the webservers - maybe I'll post one or two pictures, that's it.

There were a couple of thousand people attending a werehouse that was converted into a large art gallery - happening space.Â Some of the same artists that were part of the NYU Interactive Communications Program were also in this show and I spoke to one artist whom I remembered from a couple of months ago.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Portrait of Me altered" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/IMG00039.JPG" /></font></p>
Â 

There was a photo montage that altered a person and you could interact with it - and I am showing me, being altered, not for the better, I'm afraid.Â  Actually, the work I was part of here was called Musical Chari: A Game for One Musical Chair: A Game for One.Â  This work is influenced by the artist's (Geoffery Bell) fascination with visual apparatuses from the 19th Century.Â Â  When the viewer remains still (me in this case) the repetitive images of the viewer gradually coalesce into a single image.Â  Audio segments are also triggered and manipulated by the viewer's movements (that's me, again).

Â Other Artists I looked at were Ernesto Kar's Convergenze Parallele, Jake Klotz's Rejoice/Restage and another work called Robot/ a canternary project.Â 

One thing - I went up to the third floor and noticed some bathrooms without doors - they were part of the art installation but people were using them as actual bathrooms - and I must admit, so did I.Â  I think, only men did this - I did not see any woman using the art installation / bathrooms this way.

There was also a walled off room where some "oracles" were doing readings - or something - and there were silkscreen pictures of nude woman that were semi transparant (that made it interesting to know what was going on inside).Â  However, I never did find out as i was too hot and the line too long.

I should add that the show I attended appeared to be made up of a couple of groups including the 3rd Ward, a member based studio and workshop facility geared towards established and emerging artists - with facilities for audio/music recording, dance/performance studios, sculpture and fabrication, Digital Media Lab that is fully equipped, a gallery, converence space, lounge and Internet Access Cafe.Â Â  Sounds like 3rd Ward and the Bushwick Art Program have it all wrapped up (everythingÂ a modern artist could want) except the location - the location is too far out of the way for me to want to go over there - but if you live in GreenPoint, or nearby, it's probably a good place to have studio space - there was a little floor bot robot painting a painting of about the 1970's.Â  Don't ask me what it all means as I don't know.

I also found out about another artist space that is technology oriented closer to home called <a href="http://www.lemurplex.org/">LEMURPLEX</a>, located at 451 3rd Avenue, pretty close to <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>(which I need to go over to, maybe Sunday - today - haven't been over there for a couple of weeks and I need to paint).
<blockquote>LEMURplex is a new performance/gallery/teaching space in Brooklyn, located between the vibrant neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Red Hook. LEMURplex will teach and showcase the best in art and technology.

<strong>LEMURplex is the home and workshop of LEMUR</strong>: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots. Founded in 2000, LEMUR is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. LEMUR's work is shown throughout the world in performances and installations. For information on LEMUR, go to lemurbots.org.</blockquote>
How Fantastic!Â  Here, but a mile or two from where I live a couple of blocks from where I paint, exists the League of Electronic Muscial Urban Robots that goes all over the world to perform and create installations.Â  There's also courses that are tought - but at this time I don't think I'll be taking any of these (they're programming oriented - but more for visual artists that want to do robotics - a path I went down several years ago but found I did not have the interest or focus for it).

I'm glad I went to BAPLab2006 tonight - I'd probably not even have learnt about LEMURplex had I not gone - it's also nice to see a new batch of artists - the future (which I see myself as a bridge to - I'm old enough to have lived in the 60's and 70's yet progressive enough to really live and identify with the artists of the 21st Century).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[There's an opening tonight in BrooklynÂ thatÂ IÂ will attend tonightÂ (if you can get to it) - or at least, <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1">look at their website</a>.
<blockquote>This summer BAP will be hosting the first in a series of programs entitled the â€œBAPLabâ€ taking place on July 22nd 2006. Showcasing well known artists side by side with emerging artists, the Labâ€™s purpose is to expose both audience and artists alike to the vast spectrum of digital culture. <strong>Located at 3rd Ward, in the outer edges of Bushwick,</strong> (<em>that's why I probably won't make it over there)</em> the Lab is <em>an experimental event</em> where artists are encouraged to explore new paths and investigate new ideas through a curated program of electronic music, video, sound installations and interactive works.

Part exhibition, part creative R&D program, the BAPLab is a festival of ideas.Â  An environment where artists can explore new approaches to creative expression.

I liked listening to <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=31">Pathways To Pluto </a>- by r. john valeo - perhaps it's because I'm a Scorpio that I'd like Pluto music.Â  But then there's Red Wine Reduction by Handshake or Sex Deluxe by Hakan Lidbo - you can hear all of the work by going to the website.</blockquote>
BTW, this BAP lab show sounds (no kidding!) similar to <strong>NYU'sÂ Interactive Communications Program Spring Show</strong> which I covered in great detail on Webmetricsguru.com a couple of months ago.

<a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/05/interactive_show_mobbed.html">Interactive show mobbed</a>Â <em>(I first heard about the NYU show via Smartmobs.com, a site I also write for now - but did not write for them at the time).</em>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Happened upon <strong>Charles Saatchi's</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/">Your Gallery </a>website which seems to me to be the <a href="http://imoralist.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-friend-charles-saatchi.html">first instance </a>of <strong><em>Art Dealers getting into the Social Media scene</em></strong>.Â  Instead of looking for artist to represent - Saatchi is allowing the artist to post their work onto his site <em>(ok, he did not invite everyone - but yet anyone can post their work).</em>

There's also a <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/virtual-tour-windows.htm">virtual tour </a>of the actual Saatchi Collection in London that looks part Computer Animation and part Photography. What's noticable to me is that the figures in the virtual tour are immobile, much as the art iself - perhaps in this case, the figures are part of the art of Virtual Tour (you can't see the pictures on the wall very well - the movie is really about taking a tour of the Saatchi Gallery, not what is in the Gallery.

Perhaps the only thing missing from the Virtual TourÂ was <a href="http://wilddivine.com/">Wild Divine's biofeedback mechinism</a> to make a tour interactive - As Wild Divine's <a href="http://wilddivine.com/Demo/">Wisdom Quest </a>is (the <a href="http://www.wilddivine.com/WhatsNew/#">second Computer Game from Wild Divine</a>).

Getting back to posting your art in Saatchi's Gallery, <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8466">I postedÂ one of my own</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went over to the <a href="http://www.stuxgallery.com/">STUX Gallery </a>tonight to view <strong>Six Degrees of Separation 2</strong> - The inner Workings of Cold Contact.Â  Boy was it crowded!Â  Had a beer but had to work to find out where they were searving the free drinks.Â  Lots of things I would probably not care to own - some photos that were life size but whose subject was hard to look at - or want to.

New York Fine Art (<a href="http://www.nyfineart.com/">www.nyfineart.com</a>) also had a opening tonight - I'm not sure I attended as I attended for or 5 shows and what IÂ saw and where I went seems to be a blur now.

There areÂ many Galleries that used to be in Soho that moved up toÂ theÂ Chelsea section of Manhattan.Â  I'm not saying it's bad - there was a struture toÂ attending these NYÂ Galleries that would have been missing had they stayed down in Soho.Â  On the other hand, it feels somewhat artifical to stick all the galleries right next to each other on the lower West Side of Manhattan.

I also saw a photography show calle "It's very difficult to keep the line between theÂ  past and the present.Â  Know what I mean?"Â  I likedÂ several of the photographs inÂ the show at <a href="http://www.clampart.com/">Clamp Art</a>.Â Â 

Also got together with some of the greatest Podcasters in New York at NYC Podcasting Meetup Group - these are a dedicated group of Podcasters who meet once a month.

Time for me to signup off and go to bed - I don't believe how much I did and saw tonight!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called "Smitten".Â  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.Â  Here's some pictures I took at the opening.Â  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.

<p align="center">Giant Robot New York, approaching store (left) and Gallery (right - in Red).</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="GRNY Group Show" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG"><img id="image112" style="width: 266px; height: 215px" height="215" alt="GRNY Group Show" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG" width="266" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it's small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Jack Long Painting" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG"><img id="image113" style="width: 275px; height: 228px" height="228" alt="Jack Long Painting" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG" width="275" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.</p>

<p align="center">I don't know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it's clearly Jolie and child.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Garbage Can with Tribbles" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG"><img id="image115" style="width: 242px; height: 296px" height="296" alt="Garbage Can with Tribbles" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG" width="242" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Don't know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture.Â At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.</p>

<p align="left">And here's me, just before getting a haircut.Â  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.Â  I'm wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.</p>
<p align="left">I can't say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo's (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.Â  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.</p>
<p align="left">I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.Â  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel ComicsÂ  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.Â  And then I went home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

I also noticed there are many comments to Winkleman's post, a sign his blog is fairly well read.Â  I guess being an art dealer helps.Â 

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym</a>, a shared studio space that's usually empty - and I have 4000 sq ft to myself (there were two other woman painting today).
<p align="center"><img alt="My Segmented Life - Self Portrait" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/MySegmentedLife.JPG" /></p>
<p align="left">The picture I took of my large acrylic sketch/painting is "<strong>My Segmented Life</strong>" and is about 4 feet x 2.5 feet - my 1.3 mega-pixel camara is not able to get much better than this- I did the work in about 4 hours.Â Â  It's a self portait but I decided not to focus too much on detail.</p>
<p align="left">I have been thinking of merging my web analytics work with painting (or maybe it's a bad idea - I don't know).Â  My idea was to take traffic segmentation to pages of a web site as it shown in packages like ClickTracks and do the same thing in my painting - except the segmentation is the parts of my life (<em>I did not represent all the parts of my life - I just painted in a couple of segments as an after thought</em>).</p>
<p align="left">Was thinking of this idea for a couple of weeks - right after the artist <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/29/olan-montgomery-in-person-artist-interview-continued/"><em>Olan</em></a> drew a map of me, describing my life (while we were talking about life)Â -Â decided to see if I could paint my life as <a href="http://www.clicktracks.com/eliminate_guesswork.php">visitor segmentation map </a>- yet still hold it together as a painting (and avoid being too illustrative).</p>
<p align="left">I don't take any of these works that seriously, but I do find that I'm liking my work more, the less I try to "finish" it.Â  I used to spend so much effort trying to finish paintings and lately I don't have time - it has to work the first time - I don't know what my mood will be next time I come in to paint on something - don't want to mix moods - would rather just do the painting in one sitting <em>if I can</em>.</p>
<p align="left">So, incase you can't make it out, I painted the words "web analytics" in red in the lower left, "work" in the mid, upper left, "blogging" in the mid-upper right and "Seo" in the bottom right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went to the <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Dada.html">DADA show </a>at the MOMA this afternoon.Â  I put a bit of work into my post then my blog ate the post - and so I'm just writing a short description.

To me DADA is more an anti-movement than a real art movement - the attempt to take everyday objects and make them into Art seems asÂ <em>artificial</em> as the art it was meant to replace.

I can say this now, 80 years later - but at the time, the DADA artists thought they were doing everyone a favor - and maybe they were.Â  Except for a couple of works, most of the show is pretty much everyday objects that are made into Anti - Art (like Anti-Matter) by the artist.

But just because a Duchamp pissing pot is symetrical,Â itÂ does not mean it should be put into a museum - as the DADAist would have it.Â  The DADA movement was more important, historically, than for what it produced.

I also looked briefly at <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Douglas_Gordon/index.html">Douglas Gordon's Timeline exhibition </a>which was also at the MOMA. From the exhibition notes:
<blockquote>In his most well-known works, Scottish artist Douglas Gordon (b. 1966) addresses the familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating, reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewersâ€™ perceptions. His works provoke feelings of anxiety, recognition, and amnesia with respect to the circumstances of the reception of media today.

This retrospective of Gordonâ€™s work presents thirteen significant works by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake) (1997), and Play Dead; Real Time (2003).

By forcing new encounters with the familiar and confrontations with the willfully forgotten, Gordon exposes the distance between our dimmed, distorted memories and, perhaps, the truthâ€”emphatically demonstrating that what he sculpts is not only media but time itself.</blockquote>
My take, the show seemed stupid to me - it was trying to take what looked like the 1930's mimialist paintings and illustrate a relationship that really happens much better in my mind than in film.

I have been to many art openings recently, and with the proliferation of Computer Generated Films, many artists are trying to be deep filmmakers - but more often than not, what I see is noise - something I feel I should look at but really don't want to.

But why force myself to look at something that's not attractive or interesting to look at at the first place?Â Â Â  The modern filmmaker can have the same problem as DADA tried to solve - taking the ordinary and making it into art.Â  In the case of DADA, they took <strong><em>garbage</em></strong> and said it was sublime.Â  Modern filmmakers like Douglas Gordon are taking the ordinary and trying to super-impose some fake meaning - a meaning that looks <em>artificial</em> - the same way the DADA stuff looked to me.Â 

Give me something real - and natural and interesting to look at - not these Pseudo Movies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent about 30 minutes really studying the Rebmrandt drawings and etchings in the following show (see below):
<blockquote>Rembrandt and His Circle: Drawings and Prints
July 11, 2006â€“October 15, 2006
Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery for Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem.jpg' alt='' /></center>
Â 
</blockquote>
Â From theÂ Exhibition notes:
<blockquote>This exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606â€“1669). Selected from the Museum's world-class collection, these 58 graphic works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and his pupils illustrate the range of Rembrandt's creative geniusâ€”his spontaneity, originality, and innovative approach to traditional media.</blockquote>
What I noticed was how much Rembrandt's drawings are poetical - as a natural extension of himself.Â Â  I see many of the drawings as "pre-paintings" and while I don't go into the strong light/dark thing that was popular at the time - I do appreciate the poetry of his drawings.
Sometimes, there's touches of pigment to promote depth - something I would not have thought that Rembrandt needed to do - since his drawings are so strong, as they are.Â 

But then I realized, there really is not limitation on what an artist can or should do, save the limitations they put on themselves.Â Â 

If Rembrandt need some pigment to pull out a face or a Tiger's mane, who I am say it's not the right thing to do?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent a couple of hours at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art </a>this evening and discovered that I overlooked the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/romantic_more.asp">Girodet Exhibition </a>on my recent visits because I did not know about it.
<blockquote>
</blockquote><blockquote>
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
May 24, 2006â€“August 27, 2006
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Â </blockquote>

From the Exhibition Notes:
<blockquote>This is the first American retrospective devoted to A. L. Girodet-Trioson (1767â€“1824), a favored but rebellious pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Girodetâ€™s idiosyncratic style fuses Davidâ€™s Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. A selection of approximately 100 paintings and works on paper reflects his originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleonâ€™s military triumphs.Â Â </blockquote>
Here's the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images.asp">paintings I responded to the mostÂ </a>.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/view_1.asp?item=0">The Oath of the Horatii</a>, 1786
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748â€“1825)
Toledo Museum of Art.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

I thought The Oath of the Horatii was a David painting - but this "copy" was also sorta an original and surpassed David, I'm told, in the transparancies in the background.Â  While David ran a tight ship, and made his students compete with each other - Girodet began to develop a dislike of David and decided to move away from his former master as soon as began to mature as an artist.Â 

I think David's studio was probably a good place to be during the late 1780's - 1790's but if you wanted to develop your own individuality - you needed to break away from David, and that's what Girodet did.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Endymion.T.jpg">The Sleep of Endymion</a>, 1791
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e du Louvre, Paris.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem3.jpg' alt='' /></center>

It was hard to believe the same artist that painted in under David would also paint something so different than anything that David would have done, or approved of.Â  Of course, by the time Girodet painted The Sleep of Endymion, he was living in Rome, having won the Prix De Rome in 1789 (it was a good time to get away from Paris anyway - right?).

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Burial-of-.T.jpg">Burial of Atala</a> (rÃ©pÃ©tition of 1808 original), 1813
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e Girodet, Montargis.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem4.jpg' alt='' /></center>

The masterpiece in the show - the one painting that would cement Girodet's place in Art History.Â  One thing I noticed - there are artists that are important in their time, and go on to be famous for "all time" - like Velasquez, Titian, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Constable, Rembrandt, etc.Â Â  Then there are no less deserving artists who are important for their time, but don't transend into universality - Girodet is one of these types of artists - though at moments he almost touches pure greatness.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Chateaubriand.T.jpg">FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand</a>, 1808
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e d'Histoire et d'Ethnographie, Saint-Malo

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem5.jpg' alt='' /> </center>Â 

What can I say; I never read Chateaubriand but the image is very familar to me - and therefore I can say this painting is one of the more important one's in the show, to me, for that reason.

<strong>Burial of Atala was probably my favorite painting in the show</strong>; everyone in NYC who is into art should go and see the Girodet: Romantic Rebel show - there's only three weeks left.Â  I'll probably go once more before the show closes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The New York Times talks about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/technology/03basics.html?ex=1155268800&en=298298e6e1f6d727&ei=5012&partner=CNET">H.D.R. Photography</a>.
<blockquote>"<strong>Although H.D.R. photos are often compared to paintings</strong>, they are an attempt by software makers to allow photography to more accurately mimic human vision.

Dynamic range measures how great a difference between light and dark can be captured by a digital camera or film. Relative to the human eye, all photography has a limited dynamic range, and digital photography suffers even more than film.

It is this limitation that leads to landscape photos where a dramatic sky appears as a washed-out smudge. A classic example of the problem is trying to photograph a roomâ€™s interior while still capturing the view outside its windows. In that case, photographers are usually forced to choose either the room or its view as their subject.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/pic2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"The concept of H.D.R. photography is fairly simple. It starts with a photographer harvesting every bit of difference in brightness by taking several different photos of the same scene, with large exposure differences between them. Software then sorts through the resulting images, which range from underexposed views that are nearly black to washed-out overexposures, to calculate the full dynamic range of the view. Using that vast amount of data, it then constructs a single, high dynamic range photo.</p>
At least thatâ€™s the theory. While the actual practice can be highly automated, it is slightly more complicated.</blockquote>
These H.D.R enhanced photos, such as those shown in the New York Times, look like illustrations or highly polished paintings - but they're still photographs.Â  I think the story here is not so much about High Dynamic Range Photos but the power that highend Adobe Software brings to the average photographer who has many more options of where to go with their photos than ever before.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I came across a press release earlier today about digital paintings that change based on your <a href="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/releases/artmodd030806.html">emotional state</a>.Â  This looks interesting but I'm not sure how easy it would be for your average artist to use the technology.
<blockquote>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic artwork that changes to match the mood of the person who is looking at it.</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the person viewing the artwork.</p>
<p style="clear: both">It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to suit the changing mood of the viewer.</p>
<p style="clear: both">For example, when the viewer is angry the colours are dark and appear to have been applied to the canvas with more violent brush strokes.</p>
<p style="clear: both">If their expression changes to happy, the artwork adapts so that the colours are vibrant and more subtly applied.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~vision/empaint/"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px" height="321" alt="Maria Shugrina trying out the software (click for video page)" src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/images/artmood.jpg" width="432" /> </a></p>
<p style="clear: both">The project forms part of on-going research looking to develop a range of advanced artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry.</p>
<p style="clear: both">This has already resulted in software which produces highly-detailed artistic versions of photographs, and allows designers to create animations directly from digital footage.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe programme analyses the image for eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer,â€ said Dr John Collomosse from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œIt does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewerâ€™s emotions change the artwork responds accordingly.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis results in a digital canvas that smoothly varies its colours and style, and provides a novel interactive artistic experience.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis kind of empathic painting only needs a desk top computer and a webcam to work, so once you have the programme and have calibrated it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start creating personalised art based on your mood.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe empathic painting is really an experiment into the feasibility of using high level control parameters, such as emotional state, to replace the many low-level tools that users currently have at their disposal to affect the output of artistic rendering.â€</p>
<p style="clear: both">The empathic painting project was carried out with Maria Shugrina and Margrit Betke from the University of Boston.</p>
<p style="clear: both">The images used in the project were created by the researchers using advanced artistic rendering techniques which give the computer-generated artwork the appearance of having been painted onto canvas.</p>
<p style="clear: both">More information on the empathic painting project, including a video demonstration, is available on the project website (see related links section).</p>
<p style="clear: both">The research was recently presented at the fourth International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) conference in Annecy as part of the International Animation Festival.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was thinking about a couple of details I left out of my last post about my interview with Olan tonight.

Olan Montgomery is very tuned into people's eyes and in his paintings he focuses on the eyes, esp in the portraits.Â  In one case Olan showed me the eyes of a portrait where all the details of that person's concern with recognition and copyrights was shown in symbols reflected in her eyes.Â  I don't think this is the portait he showed me but it's as close as I can find on his site.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img style="width: 397px; height: 402px" height="402" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/olgapavlova.jpg" width="397" /></font></p>
When you look at the eyes closely you'll see all kinds of things.

Speaking of seeing the soul of person in their eyes, I asked Olan to tell me what he saw in my eyes.Â Â  Honestly, being a Scorpio, I usually try to read others and don't want them to see into me.Â  But I think we all really want to be known as well (and it would be curious to see what kind of Portrait Olan would do of me).

Olan did not really want to say at first what he saw in my eyesÂ - he sorta brushed over it.Â  Then I asked again - and he said I was afraid of dying without having really lived and done things I wanted to do in my life yet.Â  He said he could see, in my eyes, that I was pre-occurpied with that - and that I did not need to worry so much about it - that what I wanted I could have now.

We discussed a couple of other things about why I started painting again and Olan said he'd like to own one of my paintings - he liked them.Â 

Olan talked a lot about his childhood, his family, the way he was brought up, and his Mother, EslyeÂ .Â  He's very close to his mother and feels she is more charitable by nature than he is (which is saying a lot because Olan appears to be a very charitable person - so if his mother is more than that, she must be very charitable).Â  He talked about how his mother would take his sibelings and some of the orphaned children near where he grew up to Museums as often as she could and how her life was devoted to art - and is devoted to art.Â Â  He mentioned that his father had a stroke 12 years ago and she takes care of him but never talks much about it.Â  Olan also talked about his twin brother and how they took very different paths in life, his brother being in theÂ army at one time, and really going after totally different things - and their orientation was different as well.

So, my first part of the interview was more concerned about the outer things -Â  but this part ofÂ my interview is more concerned about the inner part of Olan's life.

Olan is also a cosmetics specialist and is called in for model shoots and that explains his relationship with <a href="http://marmagazine.com/">M.A.R. Magazine</a>- where his painting graces the current issue with a portrait of Anne Hathaway, whom Olan has met.Â 

In fact, you can see the relationship between the models of M.A.R. magazine and many of Olan's paintings over the last year or two - it looks like his portraits, in some cases, grew out of his contacts with the models and his use of color and focus on the face grew out his work as a Cosmetics Specialist - which is a model's best friend.

I would not have written this second post on the Olan interview tonight - were it not for needing to present, as much as I could, a fuller account - and while I did not take photos, which I could have, I focused again, on just talking and letting the conversation form itself - much as a painting takes form.

Another thing Olan did with me tonight is take the areas of my life and drew them out as themes as they related to me (ie: Art, time alone, 9/11, Job) - it reminded me of the way a web analyst would segment traffic coming to a website or page - but in this case, the website/page is me - and the categories are part of my life.

So among the things Olan can call himself - a psychic, a soul reader, a keen observer who looks into the eyes looking for the soul.

And that's the end of my interview of Olan Montgomery - for now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it much easier to write an interview of Olan without looking at my notes from tonight's dinner meeting; I met Olan down at his Gallery and we had dinner next, and he game me one of his small paintings as well (the painting was based on the image below - of a young, homeless, gay woman the artist befriended).Â Â  I was attracted to the face of a larger painting of this model and he gave me a smaller version of it.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Model" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/model.JPG" /></font></p>
We spoke about his current show which will be coming down soon and it's success.Â  <em>I asked Olan to define the metrics for a successful show</em> - that started a conversation where different arragements of sponserships and other commissioned works leads to a profitable show.Â  The money part of art was something Olan did not really want to focus onÂ  - he wants to be free to do his art and not have to get involved with the politics of gallery dealers and collectors.Â  We talked about how difficult it is to do art and live in NYC and that society, as it is today, is focused on the wrong things - like getting ahead at the cost of hurting other people.Â 

Olan thinks deeply about this and tells me he did not care for what happened recently on The View and how Star was replaced.

We moved on to another subject, using the internet to go past dealers and reach fans directly - Olan was intrigured with the idea of The Long Tail and using the internet to sell his work - but did not really know how to go about it.

I mentioned <a href="http://www.amycrehore.com/">Amy Crehore</a>, and her devoted fan base plus the writeups in <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/03/amy_crehores_the_cre.html">Boing Boing </a>as an example of reaching fans and buyers without <em>going through dealers</em> (though she also does have dealers of her work).Â  Also the recent addition of <strong>Charles Saatchiâ€™s</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website which <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8532"><strong>Olan Montgomery</strong>Â used to create his own mini-site with his work</a>.Â  Olan found out about the Saatchi online gallery through me, as did a friend of mine, Drew Knapp, who did the same thing (posted his work).

In fact, I used the Saatchi online gallery to discuss the first instance, to my knowledge, of a Major Gallery Dealer getting involved with Social Marketing, Viral Marketing - it's as if Charles Saatchi gets it - he understands that many artists want a legitamate way to reach dealers like himself and Saatchi also wants to discover new artists - so he makes it possible to do so with the <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website - and become the most progressive art dealer.Â  Yes, I give Charles Saatchi credit for seeing something that needed to be done in social media and doing it (and he did a good job with Your Gallery).

Olan mentioned the Chelesa art galleries in the West 20's where some artists are able to get sponsership but to just survive and do their work, is such a struggle (it always has been).Â Â  Olan mentioned that being an Art Dealer was a good business to be in - but being an artist is much harder.Â Â  I interjected and said it was always like that with a couple of artist superstars (ie: Picasso is a prime example) making a most of the money while most other artists can hardly make anything.Â Â 

In fact, <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/07/day_of_the_long_tail_movie.html">with the Long Tail</a>, created by theÂ economies of the internet - many artists can thrive in ways that would have been much harder even 5 years ago (and that is not generally understood yet)Â - I think Amy Crehore is an example of that - an artist with a strong fan base - who really can do well with internet publicityÂ - and you don't need to be a Picasso (or the modern version of that - or even be part of theÂ <a href="http://www.whitney.org/">Whitney Biennial</a> (see my review of the Whitney Biennial <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/04/my_review_of_the_2006_whitney.html">here</a>) to utilize the power of internet to magnify your brand.

In fact, there's much that I did not discuss with Olan tonightÂ - I will have to cover in the next interview.Â  For example - Olan's site uses AdSense and Affiliate Marketing, along with a series of articles and news - and it was only by looking at it in detail tonight - after speaking with him (where he mentioned he does write articles and post to his site and on other sites as well) that I went back and took a look at some of what he posted.Â  What I see is we need another interview do discuss how he approaches his website marketing of his own work and brand and what kind of volume of visitors his site generates.Â  These are questions for Webmetricsguru.com but they apply here as Olan clearly is using the power of Google Advertising and Affiliate Marketing toÂ  make part of a living.Â 

Olan suggested we get together again, on a monthly basis to continue this conversation.Â  We also talked about having me interview his mother, who is also an artist and a very interesting person.Â 

Getting back to the interview I did tonight -I found out an interesting metric - it takes Olan about 0.00, or more to produce one painting using the techniques and media he employs (there's often the cost of the paints, strecher, linen, photo transfer, etc) and that he sees all the work he does and what he makes off it as a way to continue painting - in other words, much of the money made on a show is re-invested back into this work - and I think that's the right thing for an artist to do, personally.

The meeting ended with a walk back, next door, to Ward-Nasse Gallery where Olan showed me the work of other artists in the Gallery and introduced me to the Art Dealer who runs Ward-Nasse.Â Â  I also took the opportunity to look at some more of Olan's paintings near the back of the Gallery that I had not really looked at as well as some of the other artists who have shows at Ward-Nasse.

By the Way, Olan did treat me to dinner which included Pasta and two glasses of red wine each.Â  Olan had his dog with him, and the dog was begging us for food - I ate all of mine so Olan put out part of his pasta plate - about a third of the dish and the dog finished it.

And that's it for tonight's interview with Olan Montgomery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I missed <a href="http://nystudiogallery.com/">Innerscapes by Rachel Madden </a>but I would have rather had seen that show than what was at Six Feet Under (which I did end up seeing);Â  I just did not show up on time.
<blockquote>INNERSCAPES
Paintings by Rachel Madden
July 13 â€“ September 3, 2006

Opening reception: Thursday, July 27, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM

NY Studio Gallery
is pleased to present paintings by Rachel Madden.These intimate, mesmerizing oil on canvas landscapes relay an intrinsically meditative quality springing from the human condition of hope amid despair.Â </blockquote>

<p align="center"><img title="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" style="width: 417px; height: 299px" height="299" alt="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" src="http://nystudiogallery.com/Rachelindex.jpg" width="417" /></p>
<p align="left">Hopefully this picture is not too large (in pixel size) or else I'll need to resize it.</p>
<p align="left">Kinda similar, in some respects to Bonnard's work and does not have a title and is 24 x 30 inches.Â Â  Had I arrived earlier - this would have been the show to see.</p>
<p align="left">I have a problem with making it over to the West Side - its' really out of the way for me.Â  The galleries that have taken over Chelsea are mixed in with moving companies and the remains of the 3rd Avenue EL.Â  I have mixed feelings about having so many galleries that far west.Â  On the good side - you can hit several openings at one time; on the bad side - it's really an effort to go there in the first place.</p>
<p align="left">I wish the galleries would do something extra to encourage more people to come over to Chelsea - like provide a free meal, or a free something - I don't know - I just think that sticking all the galleries in Chelsea does not quite feel right or natural - but maybe that's just me.Â  I liked all this stuff down in Soho much better.Â </p>
<p align="left">And By the way, Park Slope and Brooklyn is up and coming and maybe thats' the place to be.Â  Forget about Chelsea, go and build all these galleries in Park Slope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I showed up to a video installation of Lutz Bacher's Scences from the Ring at the <a href="http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/2830">Six Feet Under </a>Gallery in West 26th street and 10th Avenue.
<blockquote>Jarrett Gregory - July 27th
featuring Lutz Bacher

Six Feet Under is a theme-driven annual summer series featuring six proposals by six curators. As in previous years, the purpose of the series is to offer each curator and artist a weeklong opportunity to tackle White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. The exhibitions are viewed through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby and in [VideoBox], a division of White Box located in an adjacent outdoor window.

This last and final edition brings to an end the six-year long series with a topic that specifically addresses the impact and scope of the Chelsea Arts District real estate development. Six young and emerging curators are invited to select six galleries, each of which will then suggest an artist to work with. The artists will present and install a work that reflects upon the realities and relationships of Chelsea's artists' studios and galleries versus the rampant real estate speculation that has resulted in forever-escalating costs affecting the entire arts industry. Perhaps the real question is whether or not there is complicity between all the forces at play and why some artists and galleries end up losing and others win, which in turn will affect, in unknown ways, the community we have forged.

Organized by Juan Puntes</blockquote>
However, the show I saw does not match up with the program notes, above.Â  I have usually had a hard time understanding or accepting Video Art in Galleries (presented much as paintings would be) as I don't understand what the message isÂ  - and I usually haven't been able to "get it".Â  I did not "get it" tonight either.

I love the online videos from YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, etc, that I can stream on my websiteÂ - but I don't understand the message and economics here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was finally able to get over to the <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>today to do a little painting; I took my son Adam with me and managed to get him to sit for me and did this sketch (below).

<font face="Courier New"><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/Adam.JPG' alt='Adam S.' /></font>

It's difficult enough to get a teenager to sit still for long - I managed to get Adam to sit for about 90 minutes.

I usually try to finish whatever I'm working on in the same sitting - as far as I can.Â  Years ago, when I painted more often, I felt I often overpainted and it took much longer to achieve anything.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/22/baplab-july-22-2006-3rd-ward-in-brooklyn-ny/">my last post</a>, I planned to go to BAPLab2006 and I did; I'm 80 dollars poorer for it but I had a good time and it was all in the name of Art, or something like that.Â  I took a lot of pictures too - but I'm not sure it makes sense to post them here as quickly take up space on the webservers - maybe I'll post one or two pictures, that's it.

There were a couple of thousand people attending a werehouse that was converted into a large art gallery - happening space.Â Some of the same artists that were part of the NYU Interactive Communications Program were also in this show and I spoke to one artist whom I remembered from a couple of months ago.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Portrait of Me altered" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/IMG00039.JPG" /></font></p>
Â 

There was a photo montage that altered a person and you could interact with it - and I am showing me, being altered, not for the better, I'm afraid.Â  Actually, the work I was part of here was called Musical Chari: A Game for One Musical Chair: A Game for One.Â  This work is influenced by the artist's (Geoffery Bell) fascination with visual apparatuses from the 19th Century.Â Â  When the viewer remains still (me in this case) the repetitive images of the viewer gradually coalesce into a single image.Â  Audio segments are also triggered and manipulated by the viewer's movements (that's me, again).

Â Other Artists I looked at were Ernesto Kar's Convergenze Parallele, Jake Klotz's Rejoice/Restage and another work called Robot/ a canternary project.Â 

One thing - I went up to the third floor and noticed some bathrooms without doors - they were part of the art installation but people were using them as actual bathrooms - and I must admit, so did I.Â  I think, only men did this - I did not see any woman using the art installation / bathrooms this way.

There was also a walled off room where some "oracles" were doing readings - or something - and there were silkscreen pictures of nude woman that were semi transparant (that made it interesting to know what was going on inside).Â  However, I never did find out as i was too hot and the line too long.

I should add that the show I attended appeared to be made up of a couple of groups including the 3rd Ward, a member based studio and workshop facility geared towards established and emerging artists - with facilities for audio/music recording, dance/performance studios, sculpture and fabrication, Digital Media Lab that is fully equipped, a gallery, converence space, lounge and Internet Access Cafe.Â Â  Sounds like 3rd Ward and the Bushwick Art Program have it all wrapped up (everythingÂ a modern artist could want) except the location - the location is too far out of the way for me to want to go over there - but if you live in GreenPoint, or nearby, it's probably a good place to have studio space - there was a little floor bot robot painting a painting of about the 1970's.Â  Don't ask me what it all means as I don't know.

I also found out about another artist space that is technology oriented closer to home called <a href="http://www.lemurplex.org/">LEMURPLEX</a>, located at 451 3rd Avenue, pretty close to <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>(which I need to go over to, maybe Sunday - today - haven't been over there for a couple of weeks and I need to paint).
<blockquote>LEMURplex is a new performance/gallery/teaching space in Brooklyn, located between the vibrant neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Red Hook. LEMURplex will teach and showcase the best in art and technology.

<strong>LEMURplex is the home and workshop of LEMUR</strong>: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots. Founded in 2000, LEMUR is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. LEMUR's work is shown throughout the world in performances and installations. For information on LEMUR, go to lemurbots.org.</blockquote>
How Fantastic!Â  Here, but a mile or two from where I live a couple of blocks from where I paint, exists the League of Electronic Muscial Urban Robots that goes all over the world to perform and create installations.Â  There's also courses that are tought - but at this time I don't think I'll be taking any of these (they're programming oriented - but more for visual artists that want to do robotics - a path I went down several years ago but found I did not have the interest or focus for it).

I'm glad I went to BAPLab2006 tonight - I'd probably not even have learnt about LEMURplex had I not gone - it's also nice to see a new batch of artists - the future (which I see myself as a bridge to - I'm old enough to have lived in the 60's and 70's yet progressive enough to really live and identify with the artists of the 21st Century).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[There's an opening tonight in BrooklynÂ thatÂ IÂ will attend tonightÂ (if you can get to it) - or at least, <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1">look at their website</a>.
<blockquote>This summer BAP will be hosting the first in a series of programs entitled the â€œBAPLabâ€ taking place on July 22nd 2006. Showcasing well known artists side by side with emerging artists, the Labâ€™s purpose is to expose both audience and artists alike to the vast spectrum of digital culture. <strong>Located at 3rd Ward, in the outer edges of Bushwick,</strong> (<em>that's why I probably won't make it over there)</em> the Lab is <em>an experimental event</em> where artists are encouraged to explore new paths and investigate new ideas through a curated program of electronic music, video, sound installations and interactive works.

Part exhibition, part creative R&D program, the BAPLab is a festival of ideas.Â  An environment where artists can explore new approaches to creative expression.

I liked listening to <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=31">Pathways To Pluto </a>- by r. john valeo - perhaps it's because I'm a Scorpio that I'd like Pluto music.Â  But then there's Red Wine Reduction by Handshake or Sex Deluxe by Hakan Lidbo - you can hear all of the work by going to the website.</blockquote>
BTW, this BAP lab show sounds (no kidding!) similar to <strong>NYU'sÂ Interactive Communications Program Spring Show</strong> which I covered in great detail on Webmetricsguru.com a couple of months ago.

<a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/05/interactive_show_mobbed.html">Interactive show mobbed</a>Â <em>(I first heard about the NYU show via Smartmobs.com, a site I also write for now - but did not write for them at the time).</em>

<a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/05/interactive_telecommunications.html">Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU - A Review - Part 1.</a>

<a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/05/interactive_telecommunications_1.html">Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU - A Review - Part 2.</a>

I'll have more to report on later and you can also read a notice of this on <a href="http://www.smartmobs.com/archive/2006/07/22/bushwickartproj.html">SmartMobs.com </a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Happened upon <strong>Charles Saatchi's</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/">Your Gallery </a>website which seems to me to be the <a href="http://imoralist.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-friend-charles-saatchi.html">first instance </a>of <strong><em>Art Dealers getting into the Social Media scene</em></strong>.Â  Instead of looking for artist to represent - Saatchi is allowing the artist to post their work onto his site <em>(ok, he did not invite everyone - but yet anyone can post their work).</em>

There's also a <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/virtual-tour-windows.htm">virtual tour </a>of the actual Saatchi Collection in London that looks part Computer Animation and part Photography. What's noticable to me is that the figures in the virtual tour are immobile, much as the art iself - perhaps in this case, the figures are part of the art of Virtual Tour (you can't see the pictures on the wall very well - the movie is really about taking a tour of the Saatchi Gallery, not what is in the Gallery.

Perhaps the only thing missing from the Virtual TourÂ was <a href="http://wilddivine.com/">Wild Divine's biofeedback mechinism</a> to make a tour interactive - As Wild Divine's <a href="http://wilddivine.com/Demo/">Wisdom Quest </a>is (the <a href="http://www.wilddivine.com/WhatsNew/#">second Computer Game from Wild Divine</a>).

Getting back to posting your art in Saatchi's Gallery, <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8466">I postedÂ one of my own</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went over to the <a href="http://www.stuxgallery.com/">STUX Gallery </a>tonight to view <strong>Six Degrees of Separation 2</strong> - The inner Workings of Cold Contact.Â  Boy was it crowded!Â  Had a beer but had to work to find out where they were searving the free drinks.Â  Lots of things I would probably not care to own - some photos that were life size but whose subject was hard to look at - or want to.

New York Fine Art (<a href="http://www.nyfineart.com/">www.nyfineart.com</a>) also had a opening tonight - I'm not sure I attended as I attended for or 5 shows and what IÂ saw and where I went seems to be a blur now.

There areÂ many Galleries that used to be in Soho that moved up toÂ theÂ Chelsea section of Manhattan.Â  I'm not saying it's bad - there was a struture toÂ attending these NYÂ Galleries that would have been missing had they stayed down in Soho.Â  On the other hand, it feels somewhat artifical to stick all the galleries right next to each other on the lower West Side of Manhattan.

I also saw a photography show calle "It's very difficult to keep the line between theÂ  past and the present.Â  Know what I mean?"Â  I likedÂ several of the photographs inÂ the show at <a href="http://www.clampart.com/">Clamp Art</a>.Â Â 

Also got together with some of the greatest Podcasters in New York at NYC Podcasting Meetup Group - these are a dedicated group of Podcasters who meet once a month.

Time for me to signup off and go to bed - I don't believe how much I did and saw tonight!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called "Smitten".Â  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.Â  Here's some pictures I took at the opening.Â  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG"><img id="image111" style="height: 206px" height="206" alt="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG" width="272" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Giant Robot New York, approaching store (left) and Gallery (right - in Red).</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="GRNY Group Show" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG"><img id="image112" style="width: 266px; height: 215px" height="215" alt="GRNY Group Show" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG" width="266" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it's small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Jack Long Painting" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG"><img id="image113" style="width: 275px; height: 228px" height="228" alt="Jack Long Painting" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG" width="275" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Angelica Jolie and Baby" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG"><img id="image114" style="width: 290px; height: 210px" height="210" alt="Angelica Jolie and Baby" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG" width="290" /></a></p>
<p align="center">I don't know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it's clearly Jolie and child.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Garbage Can with Tribbles" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG"><img id="image115" style="width: 242px; height: 296px" height="296" alt="Garbage Can with Tribbles" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG" width="242" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Don't know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture.Â At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG"><img id="image116" style="width: 300px; height: 232px" height="232" alt="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG" width="300" /></a></p>
<p align="left">And here's me, just before getting a haircut.Â  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.Â  I'm wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.</p>
<p align="left">I can't say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo's (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.Â  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.</p>
<p align="left">I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.Â  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel ComicsÂ  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.Â  And then I went home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

I also noticed there are many comments to Winkleman's post, a sign his blog is fairly well read.Â  I guess being an art dealer helps.Â 

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html</a>

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html</a>

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym</a>, a shared studio space that's usually empty - and I have 4000 sq ft to myself (there were two other woman painting today).
<p align="center"><img alt="My Segmented Life - Self Portrait" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/MySegmentedLife.JPG" /></p>
<p align="left">The picture I took of my large acrylic sketch/painting is "<strong>My Segmented Life</strong>" and is about 4 feet x 2.5 feet - my 1.3 mega-pixel camara is not able to get much better than this- I did the work in about 4 hours.Â Â  It's a self portait but I decided not to focus too much on detail.</p>
<p align="left">I have been thinking of merging my web analytics work with painting (or maybe it's a bad idea - I don't know).Â  My idea was to take traffic segmentation to pages of a web site as it shown in packages like ClickTracks and do the same thing in my painting - except the segmentation is the parts of my life (<em>I did not represent all the parts of my life - I just painted in a couple of segments as an after thought</em>).</p>
<p align="left">Was thinking of this idea for a couple of weeks - right after the artist <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/29/olan-montgomery-in-person-artist-interview-continued/"><em>Olan</em></a> drew a map of me, describing my life (while we were talking about life)Â -Â decided to see if I could paint my life as <a href="http://www.clicktracks.com/eliminate_guesswork.php">visitor segmentation map </a>- yet still hold it together as a painting (and avoid being too illustrative).</p>
<p align="left">I don't take any of these works that seriously, but I do find that I'm liking my work more, the less I try to "finish" it.Â  I used to spend so much effort trying to finish paintings and lately I don't have time - it has to work the first time - I don't know what my mood will be next time I come in to paint on something - don't want to mix moods - would rather just do the painting in one sitting <em>if I can</em>.</p>
<p align="left">So, incase you can't make it out, I painted the words "web analytics" in red in the lower left, "work" in the mid, upper left, "blogging" in the mid-upper right and "Seo" in the bottom right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went to the <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Dada.html">DADA show </a>at the MOMA this afternoon.Â  I put a bit of work into my post then my blog ate the post - and so I'm just writing a short description.

To me DADA is more an anti-movement than a real art movement - the attempt to take everyday objects and make them into Art seems asÂ <em>artificial</em> as the art it was meant to replace.

I can say this now, 80 years later - but at the time, the DADA artists thought they were doing everyone a favor - and maybe they were.Â  Except for a couple of works, most of the show is pretty much everyday objects that are made into Anti - Art (like Anti-Matter) by the artist.

But just because a Duchamp pissing pot is symetrical,Â itÂ does not mean it should be put into a museum - as the DADAist would have it.Â  The DADA movement was more important, historically, than for what it produced.

I also looked briefly at <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Douglas_Gordon/index.html">Douglas Gordon's Timeline exhibition </a>which was also at the MOMA. From the exhibition notes:
<blockquote>In his most well-known works, Scottish artist Douglas Gordon (b. 1966) addresses the familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating, reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewersâ€™ perceptions. His works provoke feelings of anxiety, recognition, and amnesia with respect to the circumstances of the reception of media today.

This retrospective of Gordonâ€™s work presents thirteen significant works by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake) (1997), and Play Dead; Real Time (2003).

By forcing new encounters with the familiar and confrontations with the willfully forgotten, Gordon exposes the distance between our dimmed, distorted memories and, perhaps, the truthâ€”emphatically demonstrating that what he sculpts is not only media but time itself.</blockquote>
My take, the show seemed stupid to me - it was trying to take what looked like the 1930's mimialist paintings and illustrate a relationship that really happens much better in my mind than in film.

I have been to many art openings recently, and with the proliferation of Computer Generated Films, many artists are trying to be deep filmmakers - but more often than not, what I see is noise - something I feel I should look at but really don't want to.

But why force myself to look at something that's not attractive or interesting to look at at the first place?Â Â Â  The modern filmmaker can have the same problem as DADA tried to solve - taking the ordinary and making it into art.Â  In the case of DADA, they took <strong><em>garbage</em></strong> and said it was sublime.Â  Modern filmmakers like Douglas Gordon are taking the ordinary and trying to super-impose some fake meaning - a meaning that looks <em>artificial</em> - the same way the DADA stuff looked to me.Â 

Give me something real - and natural and interesting to look at - not these Pseudo Movies.

Selected from the Museum's world-class collection, these 58 graphic works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and his pupils illustrate the range of Rembrandt's creative geniusâ€”his spontaneity, originality, and innovative approach to traditional media.</blockquote>
What I noticed was how much Rembrandt's drawings are poetical - as a natural extension of himself.Â Â  I see many of the drawings as "pre-paintings" and while I don't go into the strong light/dark thing that was popular at the time - I do appreciate the poetry of his drawings.
Sometimes, there's touches of pigment to promote depth - something I would not have thought that Rembrandt needed to do - since his drawings are so strong, as they are.Â 

But then I realized, there really is not limitation on what an artist can or should do, save the limitations they put on themselves.Â Â 

If Rembrandt need some pigment to pull out a face or a Tiger's mane, who I am say it's not the right thing to do?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent a couple of hours at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art </a>this evening and discovered that I overlooked the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/romantic_more.asp">Girodet Exhibition </a>on my recent visits because I did not know about it.
<blockquote>
</blockquote><blockquote>
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
May 24, 2006â€“August 27, 2006
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Â </blockquote>

From the Exhibition Notes:
<blockquote>This is the first American retrospective devoted to A. L. Girodet-Trioson (1767â€“1824), a favored but rebellious pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Girodetâ€™s idiosyncratic style fuses Davidâ€™s Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. A selection of approximately 100 paintings and works on paper reflects his originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleonâ€™s military triumphs.Â Â </blockquote>
Here's the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images.asp">paintings I responded to the mostÂ </a>.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/view_1.asp?item=0">The Oath of the Horatii</a>, 1786
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748â€“1825)
Toledo Museum of Art.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

I thought The Oath of the Horatii was a David painting - but this "copy" was also sorta an original and surpassed David, I'm told, in the transparancies in the background.Â  While David ran a tight ship, and made his students compete with each other - Girodet began to develop a dislike of David and decided to move away from his former master as soon as began to mature as an artist.Â 

I think David's studio was probably a good place to be during the late 1780's - 1790's but if you wanted to develop your own individuality - you needed to break away from David, and that's what Girodet did.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Endymion.T.jpg">The Sleep of Endymion</a>, 1791
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e du Louvre, Paris.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem3.jpg' alt='' /></center>

It was hard to believe the same artist that painted in under David would also paint something so different than anything that David would have done, or approved of.Â  Of course, by the time Girodet painted The Sleep of Endymion, he was living in Rome, having won the Prix De Rome in 1789 (it was a good time to get away from Paris anyway - right?).

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Burial-of-.T.jpg">Burial of Atala</a> (rÃ©pÃ©tition of 1808 original), 1813
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e Girodet, Montargis.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem4.jpg' alt='' /></center>

The masterpiece in the show - the one painting that would cement Girodet's place in Art History.Â  One thing I noticed - there are artists that are important in their time, and go on to be famous for "all time" - like Velasquez, Titian, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Constable, Rembrandt, etc.Â Â  Then there are no less deserving artists who are important for their time, but don't transend into universality - Girodet is one of these types of artists - though at moments he almost touches pure greatness.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Chateaubriand.T.jpg">FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand</a>, 1808
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e d'Histoire et d'Ethnographie, Saint-Malo

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem5.jpg' alt='' /> </center>Â 

What can I say; I never read Chateaubriand but the image is very familar to me - and therefore I can say this painting is one of the more important one's in the show, to me, for that reason.

<strong>Burial of Atala was probably my favorite painting in the show</strong>; everyone in NYC who is into art should go and see the Girodet: Romantic Rebel show - there's only three weeks left.Â  I'll probably go once more before the show closes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The New York Times talks about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/technology/03basics.html?ex=1155268800&en=298298e6e1f6d727&ei=5012&partner=CNET">H.D.R. Photography</a>.
<blockquote>"<strong>Although H.D.R. photos are often compared to paintings</strong>, they are an attempt by software makers to allow photography to more accurately mimic human vision.

Dynamic range measures how great a difference between light and dark can be captured by a digital camera or film. Relative to the human eye, all photography has a limited dynamic range, and digital photography suffers even more than film.

It is this limitation that leads to landscape photos where a dramatic sky appears as a washed-out smudge. A classic example of the problem is trying to photograph a roomâ€™s interior while still capturing the view outside its windows. In that case, photographers are usually forced to choose either the room or its view as their subject.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/pic2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"The concept of H.D.R. photography is fairly simple. It starts with a photographer harvesting every bit of difference in brightness by taking several different photos of the same scene, with large exposure differences between them. Software then sorts through the resulting images, which range from underexposed views that are nearly black to washed-out overexposures, to calculate the full dynamic range of the view. Using that vast amount of data, it then constructs a single, high dynamic range photo.</p>
At least thatâ€™s the theory. While the actual practice can be highly automated, it is slightly more complicated.</blockquote>
These H.D.R enhanced photos, such as those shown in the New York Times, look like illustrations or highly polished paintings - but they're still photographs.Â  I think the story here is not so much about High Dynamic Range Photos but the power that highend Adobe Software brings to the average photographer who has many more options of where to go with their photos than ever before.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I came across a press release earlier today about digital paintings that change based on your <a href="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/releases/artmodd030806.html">emotional state</a>.Â  This looks interesting but I'm not sure how easy it would be for your average artist to use the technology.
<blockquote>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic artwork that changes to match the mood of the person who is looking at it.</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the person viewing the artwork.</p>
<p style="clear: both">It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to suit the changing mood of the viewer.</p>
<p style="clear: both">For example, when the viewer is angry the colours are dark and appear to have been applied to the canvas with more violent brush strokes.</p>
<p style="clear: both">If their expression changes to happy, the artwork adapts so that the colours are vibrant and more subtly applied.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~vision/empaint/"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px" height="321" alt="Maria Shugrina trying out the software (click for video page)" src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/images/artmood.jpg" width="432" /> </a></p>
<p style="clear: both">The project forms part of on-going research looking to develop a range of advanced artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry.</p>
<p style="clear: both">This has already resulted in software which produces highly-detailed artistic versions of photographs, and allows designers to create animations directly from digital footage.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe programme analyses the image for eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer,â€ said Dr John Collomosse from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œIt does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewerâ€™s emotions change the artwork responds accordingly.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis results in a digital canvas that smoothly varies its colours and style, and provides a novel interactive artistic experience.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis kind of empathic painting only needs a desk top computer and a webcam to work, so once you have the programme and have calibrated it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start creating personalised art based on your mood.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe empathic painting is really an experiment into the feasibility of using high level control parameters, such as emotional state, to replace the many low-level tools that users currently have at their disposal to affect the output of artistic rendering.â€</p>
<p style="clear: both">The empathic painting project was carried out with Maria Shugrina and Margrit Betke from the University of Boston.</p>
<p style="clear: both">The images used in the project were created by the researchers using advanced artistic rendering techniques which give the computer-generated artwork the appearance of having been painted onto canvas.</p>
<p style="clear: both">More information on the empathic painting project, including a video demonstration, is available on the project website (see related links section).</p>
<p style="clear: both">The research was recently presented at the fourth International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) conference in Annecy as part of the International Animation Festival.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was thinking about a couple of details I left out of my last post about my interview with Olan tonight.

Olan Montgomery is very tuned into people's eyes and in his paintings he focuses on the eyes, esp in the portraits.Â  In one case Olan showed me the eyes of a portrait where all the details of that person's concern with recognition and copyrights was shown in symbols reflected in her eyes.Â  I don't think this is the portait he showed me but it's as close as I can find on his site.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img style="width: 397px; height: 402px" height="402" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/olgapavlova.jpg" width="397" /></font></p>
When you look at the eyes closely you'll see all kinds of things.

Speaking of seeing the soul of person in their eyes, I asked Olan to tell me what he saw in my eyes.Â Â  Honestly, being a Scorpio, I usually try to read others and don't want them to see into me.Â  But I think we all really want to be known as well (and it would be curious to see what kind of Portrait Olan would do of me).

Olan did not really want to say at first what he saw in my eyesÂ - he sorta brushed over it.Â  Then I asked again - and he said I was afraid of dying without having really lived and done things I wanted to do in my life yet.Â  He said he could see, in my eyes, that I was pre-occurpied with that - and that I did not need to worry so much about it - that what I wanted I could have now.

We discussed a couple of other things about why I started painting again and Olan said he'd like to own one of my paintings - he liked them.Â 

Olan talked a lot about his childhood, his family, the way he was brought up, and his Mother, EslyeÂ .Â  He's very close to his mother and feels she is more charitable by nature than he is (which is saying a lot because Olan appears to be a very charitable person - so if his mother is more than that, she must be very charitable).Â  He talked about how his mother would take his sibelings and some of the orphaned children near where he grew up to Museums as often as she could and how her life was devoted to art - and is devoted to art.Â Â  He mentioned that his father had a stroke 12 years ago and she takes care of him but never talks much about it.Â  Olan also talked about his twin brother and how they took very different paths in life, his brother being in theÂ army at one time, and really going after totally different things - and their orientation was different as well.

So, my first part of the interview was more concerned about the outer things -Â  but this part ofÂ my interview is more concerned about the inner part of Olan's life.

Olan is also a cosmetics specialist and is called in for model shoots and that explains his relationship with <a href="http://marmagazine.com/">M.A.R. Magazine</a>- where his painting graces the current issue with a portrait of Anne Hathaway, whom Olan has met.Â 

In fact, you can see the relationship between the models of M.A.R. magazine and many of Olan's paintings over the last year or two - it looks like his portraits, in some cases, grew out of his contacts with the models and his use of color and focus on the face grew out his work as a Cosmetics Specialist - which is a model's best friend.

I would not have written this second post on the Olan interview tonight - were it not for needing to present, as much as I could, a fuller account - and while I did not take photos, which I could have, I focused again, on just talking and letting the conversation form itself - much as a painting takes form.

Another thing Olan did with me tonight is take the areas of my life and drew them out as themes as they related to me (ie: Art, time alone, 9/11, Job) - it reminded me of the way a web analyst would segment traffic coming to a website or page - but in this case, the website/page is me - and the categories are part of my life.

So among the things Olan can call himself - a psychic, a soul reader, a keen observer who looks into the eyes looking for the soul.

And that's the end of my interview of Olan Montgomery - for now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it much easier to write an interview of Olan without looking at my notes from tonight's dinner meeting; I met Olan down at his Gallery and we had dinner next, and he game me one of his small paintings as well (the painting was based on the image below - of a young, homeless, gay woman the artist befriended).Â Â  I was attracted to the face of a larger painting of this model and he gave me a smaller version of it.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Model" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/model.JPG" /></font></p>
We spoke about his current show which will be coming down soon and it's success.Â  <em>I asked Olan to define the metrics for a successful show</em> - that started a conversation where different arragements of sponserships and other commissioned works leads to a profitable show.Â  The money part of art was something Olan did not really want to focus onÂ  - he wants to be free to do his art and not have to get involved with the politics of gallery dealers and collectors.Â  We talked about how difficult it is to do art and live in NYC and that society, as it is today, is focused on the wrong things - like getting ahead at the cost of hurting other people.Â 

Olan thinks deeply about this and tells me he did not care for what happened recently on The View and how Star was replaced.

We moved on to another subject, using the internet to go past dealers and reach fans directly - Olan was intrigured with the idea of The Long Tail and using the internet to sell his work - but did not really know how to go about it.

I mentioned <a href="http://www.amycrehore.com/">Amy Crehore</a>, and her devoted fan base plus the writeups in <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/03/amy_crehores_the_cre.html">Boing Boing </a>as an example of reaching fans and buyers without <em>going through dealers</em> (though she also does have dealers of her work).Â  Also the recent addition of <strong>Charles Saatchiâ€™s</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website which <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8532"><strong>Olan Montgomery</strong>Â used to create his own mini-site with his work</a>.Â  Olan found out about the Saatchi online gallery through me, as did a friend of mine, Drew Knapp, who did the same thing (posted his work).

In fact, I used the Saatchi online gallery to discuss the first instance, to my knowledge, of a Major Gallery Dealer getting involved with Social Marketing, Viral Marketing - it's as if Charles Saatchi gets it - he understands that many artists want a legitamate way to reach dealers like himself and Saatchi also wants to discover new artists - so he makes it possible to do so with the <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website - and become the most progressive art dealer.Â  Yes, I give Charles Saatchi credit for seeing something that needed to be done in social media and doing it (and he did a good job with Your Gallery).

Olan mentioned the Chelesa art galleries in the West 20's where some artists are able to get sponsership but to just survive and do their work, is such a struggle (it always has been).Â Â  Olan mentioned that being an Art Dealer was a good business to be in - but being an artist is much harder.Â Â  I interjected and said it was always like that with a couple of artist superstars (ie: Picasso is a prime example) making a most of the money while most other artists can hardly make anything.Â Â 

In fact, <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/07/day_of_the_long_tail_movie.html">with the Long Tail</a>, created by theÂ economies of the internet - many artists can thrive in ways that would have been much harder even 5 years ago (and that is not generally understood yet)Â - I think Amy Crehore is an example of that - an artist with a strong fan base - who really can do well with internet publicityÂ - and you don't need to be a Picasso (or the modern version of that - or even be part of theÂ <a href="http://www.whitney.org/">Whitney Biennial</a> (see my review of the Whitney Biennial <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/04/my_review_of_the_2006_whitney.html">here</a>) to utilize the power of internet to magnify your brand.

In fact, there's much that I did not discuss with Olan tonightÂ - I will have to cover in the next interview.Â  For example - Olan's site uses AdSense and Affiliate Marketing, along with a series of articles and news - and it was only by looking at it in detail tonight - after speaking with him (where he mentioned he does write articles and post to his site and on other sites as well) that I went back and took a look at some of what he posted.Â  What I see is we need another interview do discuss how he approaches his website marketing of his own work and brand and what kind of volume of visitors his site generates.Â  These are questions for Webmetricsguru.com but they apply here as Olan clearly is using the power of Google Advertising and Affiliate Marketing toÂ  make part of a living.Â 

Olan suggested we get together again, on a monthly basis to continue this conversation.Â  We also talked about having me interview his mother, who is also an artist and a very interesting person.Â 

Getting back to the interview I did tonight -I found out an interesting metric - it takes Olan about 0.00, or more to produce one painting using the techniques and media he employs (there's often the cost of the paints, strecher, linen, photo transfer, etc) and that he sees all the work he does and what he makes off it as a way to continue painting - in other words, much of the money made on a show is re-invested back into this work - and I think that's the right thing for an artist to do, personally.

The meeting ended with a walk back, next door, to Ward-Nasse Gallery where Olan showed me the work of other artists in the Gallery and introduced me to the Art Dealer who runs Ward-Nasse.Â Â  I also took the opportunity to look at some more of Olan's paintings near the back of the Gallery that I had not really looked at as well as some of the other artists who have shows at Ward-Nasse.

By the Way, Olan did treat me to dinner which included Pasta and two glasses of red wine each.Â  Olan had his dog with him, and the dog was begging us for food - I ate all of mine so Olan put out part of his pasta plate - about a third of the dish and the dog finished it.

And that's it for tonight's interview with Olan Montgomery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I missed <a href="http://nystudiogallery.com/">Innerscapes by Rachel Madden </a>but I would have rather had seen that show than what was at Six Feet Under (which I did end up seeing);Â  I just did not show up on time.
<blockquote>INNERSCAPES
Paintings by Rachel Madden
July 13 â€“ September 3, 2006

Opening reception: Thursday, July 27, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM

NY Studio Gallery
is pleased to present paintings by Rachel Madden.These intimate, mesmerizing oil on canvas landscapes relay an intrinsically meditative quality springing from the human condition of hope amid despair.Â </blockquote>

<p align="center"><img title="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" style="width: 417px; height: 299px" height="299" alt="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" src="http://nystudiogallery.com/Rachelindex.jpg" width="417" /></p>
<p align="left">Hopefully this picture is not too large (in pixel size) or else I'll need to resize it.</p>
<p align="left">Kinda similar, in some respects to Bonnard's work and does not have a title and is 24 x 30 inches.Â Â  Had I arrived earlier - this would have been the show to see.</p>
<p align="left">I have a problem with making it over to the West Side - its' really out of the way for me.Â  The galleries that have taken over Chelsea are mixed in with moving companies and the remains of the 3rd Avenue EL.Â  I have mixed feelings about having so many galleries that far west.Â  On the good side - you can hit several openings at one time; on the bad side - it's really an effort to go there in the first place.</p>
<p align="left">I wish the galleries would do something extra to encourage more people to come over to Chelsea - like provide a free meal, or a free something - I don't know - I just think that sticking all the galleries in Chelsea does not quite feel right or natural - but maybe that's just me.Â  I liked all this stuff down in Soho much better.Â </p>
<p align="left">And By the way, Park Slope and Brooklyn is up and coming and maybe thats' the place to be.Â  Forget about Chelsea, go and build all these galleries in Park Slope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I showed up to a video installation of Lutz Bacher's Scences from the Ring at the <a href="http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/2830">Six Feet Under </a>Gallery in West 26th street and 10th Avenue.
<blockquote>Jarrett Gregory - July 27th
featuring Lutz Bacher

Six Feet Under is a theme-driven annual summer series featuring six proposals by six curators. As in previous years, the purpose of the series is to offer each curator and artist a weeklong opportunity to tackle White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. The exhibitions are viewed through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby and in [VideoBox], a division of White Box located in an adjacent outdoor window.

This last and final edition brings to an end the six-year long series with a topic that specifically addresses the impact and scope of the Chelsea Arts District real estate development. Six young and emerging curators are invited to select six galleries, each of which will then suggest an artist to work with. The artists will present and install a work that reflects upon the realities and relationships of Chelsea's artists' studios and galleries versus the rampant real estate speculation that has resulted in forever-escalating costs affecting the entire arts industry. Perhaps the real question is whether or not there is complicity between all the forces at play and why some artists and galleries end up losing and others win, which in turn will affect, in unknown ways, the community we have forged.

Organized by Juan Puntes</blockquote>
However, the show I saw does not match up with the program notes, above.Â  I have usually had a hard time understanding or accepting Video Art in Galleries (presented much as paintings would be) as I don't understand what the message isÂ  - and I usually haven't been able to "get it".Â  I did not "get it" tonight either.

I love the online videos from YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, etc, that I can stream on my websiteÂ - but I don't understand the message and economics here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was finally able to get over to the <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>today to do a little painting; I took my son Adam with me and managed to get him to sit for me and did this sketch (below).

<font face="Courier New"><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/Adam.JPG' alt='Adam S.' /></font>

It's difficult enough to get a teenager to sit still for long - I managed to get Adam to sit for about 90 minutes.

I usually try to finish whatever I'm working on in the same sitting - as far as I can.Â  Years ago, when I painted more often, I felt I often overpainted and it took much longer to achieve anything.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/22/baplab-july-22-2006-3rd-ward-in-brooklyn-ny/">my last post</a>, I planned to go to BAPLab2006 and I did; I'm 80 dollars poorer for it but I had a good time and it was all in the name of Art, or something like that.Â  I took a lot of pictures too - but I'm not sure it makes sense to post them here as quickly take up space on the webservers - maybe I'll post one or two pictures, that's it.

There were a couple of thousand people attending a werehouse that was converted into a large art gallery - happening space.Â Some of the same artists that were part of the NYU Interactive Communications Program were also in this show and I spoke to one artist whom I remembered from a couple of months ago.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Portrait of Me altered" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/IMG00039.JPG" /></font></p>
Â 

There was a photo montage that altered a person and you could interact with it - and I am showing me, being altered, not for the better, I'm afraid.Â  Actually, the work I was part of here was called Musical Chari: A Game for One Musical Chair: A Game for One.Â  This work is influenced by the artist's (Geoffery Bell) fascination with visual apparatuses from the 19th Century.Â Â  When the viewer remains still (me in this case) the repetitive images of the viewer gradually coalesce into a single image.Â  Audio segments are also triggered and manipulated by the viewer's movements (that's me, again).

Â Other Artists I looked at were Ernesto Kar's Convergenze Parallele, Jake Klotz's Rejoice/Restage and another work called Robot/ a canternary project.Â 

One thing - I went up to the third floor and noticed some bathrooms without doors - they were part of the art installation but people were using them as actual bathrooms - and I must admit, so did I.Â  I think, only men did this - I did not see any woman using the art installation / bathrooms this way.

There was also a walled off room where some "oracles" were doing readings - or something - and there were silkscreen pictures of nude woman that were semi transparant (that made it interesting to know what was going on inside).Â  However, I never did find out as i was too hot and the line too long.

I should add that the show I attended appeared to be made up of a couple of groups including the 3rd Ward, a member based studio and workshop facility geared towards established and emerging artists - with facilities for audio/music recording, dance/performance studios, sculpture and fabrication, Digital Media Lab that is fully equipped, a gallery, converence space, lounge and Internet Access Cafe.Â Â  Sounds like 3rd Ward and the Bushwick Art Program have it all wrapped up (everythingÂ a modern artist could want) except the location - the location is too far out of the way for me to want to go over there - but if you live in GreenPoint, or nearby, it's probably a good place to have studio space - there was a little floor bot robot painting a painting of about the 1970's.Â  Don't ask me what it all means as I don't know.

I also found out about another artist space that is technology oriented closer to home called <a href="http://www.lemurplex.org/">LEMURPLEX</a>, located at 451 3rd Avenue, pretty close to <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>(which I need to go over to, maybe Sunday - today - haven't been over there for a couple of weeks and I need to paint).
<blockquote>LEMURplex is a new performance/gallery/teaching space in Brooklyn, located between the vibrant neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Red Hook. LEMURplex will teach and showcase the best in art and technology.

<strong>LEMURplex is the home and workshop of LEMUR</strong>: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots. Founded in 2000, LEMUR is a group of artists and technologists who create robotic musical instruments. LEMUR's work is shown throughout the world in performances and installations. For information on LEMUR, go to lemurbots.org.</blockquote>
How Fantastic!Â  Here, but a mile or two from where I live a couple of blocks from where I paint, exists the League of Electronic Muscial Urban Robots that goes all over the world to perform and create installations.Â  There's also courses that are tought - but at this time I don't think I'll be taking any of these (they're programming oriented - but more for visual artists that want to do robotics - a path I went down several years ago but found I did not have the interest or focus for it).

I'm glad I went to BAPLab2006 tonight - I'd probably not even have learnt about LEMURplex had I not gone - it's also nice to see a new batch of artists - the future (which I see myself as a bridge to - I'm old enough to have lived in the 60's and 70's yet progressive enough to really live and identify with the artists of the 21st Century).

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[There's an opening tonight in BrooklynÂ thatÂ IÂ will attend tonightÂ (if you can get to it) - or at least, <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1">look at their website</a>.
<blockquote>This summer BAP will be hosting the first in a series of programs entitled the â€œBAPLabâ€ taking place on July 22nd 2006. Showcasing well known artists side by side with emerging artists, the Labâ€™s purpose is to expose both audience and artists alike to the vast spectrum of digital culture. <strong>Located at 3rd Ward, in the outer edges of Bushwick,</strong> (<em>that's why I probably won't make it over there)</em> the Lab is <em>an experimental event</em> where artists are encouraged to explore new paths and investigate new ideas through a curated program of electronic music, video, sound installations and interactive works.

Part exhibition, part creative R&D program, the BAPLab is a festival of ideas.Â  An environment where artists can explore new approaches to creative expression.

I liked listening to <a href="http://bushwickartproject.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=31">Pathways To Pluto </a>- by r. john valeo - perhaps it's because I'm a Scorpio that I'd like Pluto music.Â  But then there's Red Wine Reduction by Handshake or Sex Deluxe by Hakan Lidbo - you can hear all of the work by going to the website.</blockquote>
BTW, this BAP lab show sounds (no kidding!) similar to <strong>NYU'sÂ Interactive Communications Program Spring Show</strong> which I covered in great detail on Webmetricsguru.com a couple of months ago.

<a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/05/interactive_show_mobbed.html">Interactive show mobbed</a>Â <em>(I first heard about the NYU show via Smartmobs.com, a site I also write for now - but did not write for them at the time).</em>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Happened upon <strong>Charles Saatchi's</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/">Your Gallery </a>website which seems to me to be the <a href="http://imoralist.blogspot.com/2006/07/my-friend-charles-saatchi.html">first instance </a>of <strong><em>Art Dealers getting into the Social Media scene</em></strong>.Â  Instead of looking for artist to represent - Saatchi is allowing the artist to post their work onto his site <em>(ok, he did not invite everyone - but yet anyone can post their work).</em>

There's also a <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/virtual-tour-windows.htm">virtual tour </a>of the actual Saatchi Collection in London that looks part Computer Animation and part Photography. What's noticable to me is that the figures in the virtual tour are immobile, much as the art iself - perhaps in this case, the figures are part of the art of Virtual Tour (you can't see the pictures on the wall very well - the movie is really about taking a tour of the Saatchi Gallery, not what is in the Gallery.

Perhaps the only thing missing from the Virtual TourÂ was <a href="http://wilddivine.com/">Wild Divine's biofeedback mechinism</a> to make a tour interactive - As Wild Divine's <a href="http://wilddivine.com/Demo/">Wisdom Quest </a>is (the <a href="http://www.wilddivine.com/WhatsNew/#">second Computer Game from Wild Divine</a>).

Getting back to posting your art in Saatchi's Gallery, <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8466">I postedÂ one of my own</a>.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went over to the <a href="http://www.stuxgallery.com/">STUX Gallery </a>tonight to view <strong>Six Degrees of Separation 2</strong> - The inner Workings of Cold Contact.Â  Boy was it crowded!Â  Had a beer but had to work to find out where they were searving the free drinks.Â  Lots of things I would probably not care to own - some photos that were life size but whose subject was hard to look at - or want to.

New York Fine Art (<a href="http://www.nyfineart.com/">www.nyfineart.com</a>) also had a opening tonight - I'm not sure I attended as I attended for or 5 shows and what IÂ saw and where I went seems to be a blur now.

There areÂ many Galleries that used to be in Soho that moved up toÂ theÂ Chelsea section of Manhattan.Â  I'm not saying it's bad - there was a struture toÂ attending these NYÂ Galleries that would have been missing had they stayed down in Soho.Â  On the other hand, it feels somewhat artifical to stick all the galleries right next to each other on the lower West Side of Manhattan.

I also saw a photography show calle "It's very difficult to keep the line between theÂ  past and the present.Â  Know what I mean?"Â  I likedÂ several of the photographs inÂ the show at <a href="http://www.clampart.com/">Clamp Art</a>.Â Â 

Also got together with some of the greatest Podcasters in New York at NYC Podcasting Meetup Group - these are a dedicated group of Podcasters who meet once a month.

Time for me to signup off and go to bed - I don't believe how much I did and saw tonight!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I stumbled upon <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and as this is ArtNYC, it's good to know there are Art Dealers in NYC that are also blogging.Â  I'm surprised there isÂ no RSS feed to select (perhaps Edward has not turned it on in his blogger console).

I also noticed there are many comments to Winkleman's post, a sign his blog is fairly well read.Â  I guess being an art dealer helps.Â 

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html</a>

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html</a>

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I decided to go to GRNY (Giant Robot NY) tonight to the opening of a group show called "Smitten".Â  I spoke to a couple of artists, including the one I liked the most, Jack Long.Â  Here's some pictures I took at the opening.Â  I was not familar with Giant Robot, but when I got to the shop, I ended up buying a hooded sweat shirt of the latest style.
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG"><img id="image111" style="height: 206px" height="206" alt="Giant Robot New York (GRNY) Store and Gallery" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00138.JPG" width="272" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Giant Robot New York, approaching store (left) and Gallery (right - in Red).</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="GRNY Group Show" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG"><img id="image112" style="width: 266px; height: 215px" height="215" alt="GRNY Group Show" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00145.JPG" width="266" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Inside of the GRNY Gallery - it's small and narrow - found some interesting art there tonight.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Jack Long Painting" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG"><img id="image113" style="width: 275px; height: 228px" height="228" alt="Jack Long Painting" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00144.JPG" width="275" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Jack Long Painting - I liked his work.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Angelica Jolie and Baby" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG"><img id="image114" style="width: 290px; height: 210px" height="210" alt="Angelica Jolie and Baby" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00146.JPG" width="290" /></a></p>
<p align="center">I don't know who did this drawing but - looked interesting so I took a picture of it - it's clearly Jolie and child.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Garbage Can with Tribbles" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG"><img id="image115" style="width: 242px; height: 296px" height="296" alt="Garbage Can with Tribbles" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00143.JPG" width="242" /></a></p>
<p align="center">Don't know who did this Tribble Garbage Can art - but it was worth taking a picture.Â At first I thought the Tribbles were for sale - then I realized I should not touch the art.</p>
<p align="center"><a class="imagelink" title="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG"><img id="image116" style="width: 300px; height: 232px" height="232" alt="Me, just before getting a haircut tonight" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG00148.JPG" width="300" /></a></p>
<p align="left">And here's me, just before getting a haircut.Â  As soon as I walked out of GRNY I got a haircut next door, then went back in again.Â  I'm wondering if the cute lady who hosted the show got confused because my hair was different.</p>
<p align="left">I can't say a whole lot about the GRNY show, it was OK, gave me an excuse to roam the East Village tonight, have a bite at Dojo's (a resturant I used to eat at a lot when I lived in the East Village many years ago) and also go into PS 132 and see the last night of Project Iris Havana in NYC - a group exhibition of photographs of Cuba.Â  It was nice, there was a musician playing and plenty of wine and rum.</p>
<p align="left">I finished up the evening by passing by Fobbidden Planet, a store that has a lot of comic book art and looking for illustrations of people I have come to learn about recently.Â  Saw what I needed to see, then spent a while reading Dr. Strange, Volume I - from Marvel ComicsÂ  - the old Steve Ditko issues - that was great.Â  And then I went home.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I'll be interviewing <a href="http://www.marshawooley.com/">Marsha Wooley</a>, whose show I saw last week at the Prince Street Gallery, later today, and will it will appear on ArtNYC sometime later this weekend or early next week.Â  With any luck, maybe SYNTAGMA will feature Marsha Wooley on <a href="http://www.celebrityatwork.com/">Celebrity at Work</a>, as my last two artist interviewee's also got to be on Celebrity.

I also found another site that is a great resource for NYC Art OpeningsÂ called <a href="http://artcards.cc/">ARTCARDS.CC</a>Â  It's interesting to see the information grouped as a "card", almost something you can print out and carry around as you go to galleries to see art.Â  Here's what I would have seen last Thursday had it not rained so hard here.
<blockquote>10-August-ThursdayÂ 
? Inaugural show at V&A
Mott street, 98

Â Metaverse Road Map Pre-Release Party at Eyebeam
W 21 street, 540, 6-9pm

Â "ART VS. REAL LIFE: Canadian Stories" curated by Katharine at Morgan Lehman Gallery
10 avenue, 317, b/w 28 & 29 street

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
W 26 street, 525</blockquote>
Â The Metaverse Road Map at Eyebeam and the Art Vs. Real Life: Canadian Stories - both of these I planned to go to but did not make it.
Another resource is called <a href="http://beta.nyc.flavorpill.net/upcoming">FlavorPill,</a> and while it's not focused on painting or fine art only (FlavorPill has many other interesting events around NYC) it also gives you upcoming exhibitions, like the Picasso and American Art show at the Whitney later in October.

Anyway, Saturday should also be a busy day for me, hopefully one that I'll paint some and also party a little at an opening at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/events.html">BrooklynArtistsGym</a> of "<strong>Sabrina</strong>" - it's a one night show that's only happening this Saturday (today actually - but I haven't gone to bed yet)
<blockquote>"Sabrina (Sabrina Tilikevich) is having a one-night-only opening event showing her most recent work.Â  She is known for her "direct eye and disturbing perspective." She has been inspired by such artists as Basquiat, Dali, and Malevich.Â  Most of the mediums she uses are acrylic and experimental bases.

She plans for this opening to reflect her style, and is bringing the street fairs of New York City to a Brookyn Gallery.Â  Live music and refreshment will be served.
Saturday, August 19th, from 7 p.m.-11:30 p.m. in the BAG gallery. For more information, you can contact Sabrina at <a href="mailto:sabrina626x@gmail.com">sabrina626x@gmail.com</a>.</blockquote>
I'll probably have a lot to write about in the next few days - keep tuned.

The <strong>PlusUltraGallery</strong> has some pretty impressive artists, judging from what I can see (some of these names are familar to me but I can't recall where I first heard about the artists).

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/fiore.html</a>

<a href="http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html">http://www.plusultragallery.com/dalton.html</a>

I find it frustrating that the future exhibitions don't give a date when it's happening - because I'd like to come to the next opening but I can't figure out when it is going to be.Â  Edward, if you read this - please tell me when the next show is.Â 

Anyway, I really need to start reading <a href="http://edwardwinkleman.blogspot.com/2006/08/when-does-pluralism-end-or-does-it.html">Edward Winkleman's blog</a>Â and maybe commenting on it.Â  I have met and known manyÂ influentials in the Search Marketing world, but know few in the Art World - I'd like to know more.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I spent this afternoon at <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym</a>, a shared studio space that's usually empty - and I have 4000 sq ft to myself (there were two other woman painting today).
<p align="center"><img alt="My Segmented Life - Self Portrait" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/MySegmentedLife.JPG" /></p>
<p align="left">The picture I took of my large acrylic sketch/painting is "<strong>My Segmented Life</strong>" and is about 4 feet x 2.5 feet - my 1.3 mega-pixel camara is not able to get much better than this- I did the work in about 4 hours.Â Â  It's a self portait but I decided not to focus too much on detail.</p>
<p align="left">I have been thinking of merging my web analytics work with painting (or maybe it's a bad idea - I don't know).Â  My idea was to take traffic segmentation to pages of a web site as it shown in packages like ClickTracks and do the same thing in my painting - except the segmentation is the parts of my life (<em>I did not represent all the parts of my life - I just painted in a couple of segments as an after thought</em>).</p>
<p align="left">Was thinking of this idea for a couple of weeks - right after the artist <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/29/olan-montgomery-in-person-artist-interview-continued/"><em>Olan</em></a> drew a map of me, describing my life (while we were talking about life)Â -Â decided to see if I could paint my life as <a href="http://www.clicktracks.com/eliminate_guesswork.php">visitor segmentation map </a>- yet still hold it together as a painting (and avoid being too illustrative).</p>
<p align="left">I don't take any of these works that seriously, but I do find that I'm liking my work more, the less I try to "finish" it.Â  I used to spend so much effort trying to finish paintings and lately I don't have time - it has to work the first time - I don't know what my mood will be next time I come in to paint on something - don't want to mix moods - would rather just do the painting in one sitting <em>if I can</em>.</p>
<p align="left">So, incase you can't make it out, I painted the words "web analytics" in red in the lower left, "work" in the mid, upper left, "blogging" in the mid-upper right and "Seo" in the bottom right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Went to the <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Dada.html">DADA show </a>at the MOMA this afternoon.Â  I put a bit of work into my post then my blog ate the post - and so I'm just writing a short description.

To me DADA is more an anti-movement than a real art movement - the attempt to take everyday objects and make them into Art seems asÂ <em>artificial</em> as the art it was meant to replace.

I can say this now, 80 years later - but at the time, the DADA artists thought they were doing everyone a favor - and maybe they were.Â  Except for a couple of works, most of the show is pretty much everyday objects that are made into Anti - Art (like Anti-Matter) by the artist.

But just because a Duchamp pissing pot is symetrical,Â itÂ does not mean it should be put into a museum - as the DADAist would have it.Â  The DADA movement was more important, historically, than for what it produced.

I also looked briefly at <a href="http://www.moma.org/exhibitions/2006/Douglas_Gordon/index.html">Douglas Gordon's Timeline exhibition </a>which was also at the MOMA. From the exhibition notes:
<blockquote>In his most well-known works, Scottish artist Douglas Gordon (b. 1966) addresses the familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating, reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewersâ€™ perceptions. His works provoke feelings of anxiety, recognition, and amnesia with respect to the circumstances of the reception of media today.

This retrospective of Gordonâ€™s work presents thirteen significant works by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness and Light (After William Blake) (1997), and Play Dead; Real Time (2003).

By forcing new encounters with the familiar and confrontations with the willfully forgotten, Gordon exposes the distance between our dimmed, distorted memories and, perhaps, the truthâ€”emphatically demonstrating that what he sculpts is not only media but time itself.</blockquote>
My take, the show seemed stupid to me - it was trying to take what looked like the 1930's mimialist paintings and illustrate a relationship that really happens much better in my mind than in film.

I have been to many art openings recently, and with the proliferation of Computer Generated Films, many artists are trying to be deep filmmakers - but more often than not, what I see is noise - something I feel I should look at but really don't want to.

But why force myself to look at something that's not attractive or interesting to look at at the first place?Â Â Â  The modern filmmaker can have the same problem as DADA tried to solve - taking the ordinary and making it into art.Â  In the case of DADA, they took <strong><em>garbage</em></strong> and said it was sublime.Â  Modern filmmakers like Douglas Gordon are taking the ordinary and trying to super-impose some fake meaning - a meaning that looks <em>artificial</em> - the same way the DADA stuff looked to me.Â 

Give me something real - and natural and interesting to look at - not these Pseudo Movies.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent about 30 minutes really studying the Rebmrandt drawings and etchings in the following show (see below):
<blockquote>Rembrandt and His Circle: Drawings and Prints
July 11, 2006â€“October 15, 2006
Robert Wood Johnson Jr. Gallery for Drawings and Prints, 2nd floor

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem.jpg' alt='' /></center>
Â 
</blockquote>
Â From theÂ Exhibition notes:
<blockquote>This exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606â€“1669). Selected from the Museum's world-class collection, these 58 graphic works by the great 17th-century Dutch master and his pupils illustrate the range of Rembrandt's creative geniusâ€”his spontaneity, originality, and innovative approach to traditional media.</blockquote>
What I noticed was how much Rembrandt's drawings are poetical - as a natural extension of himself.Â Â  I see many of the drawings as "pre-paintings" and while I don't go into the strong light/dark thing that was popular at the time - I do appreciate the poetry of his drawings.
Sometimes, there's touches of pigment to promote depth - something I would not have thought that Rembrandt needed to do - since his drawings are so strong, as they are.Â 

But then I realized, there really is not limitation on what an artist can or should do, save the limitations they put on themselves.Â Â 

If Rembrandt need some pigment to pull out a face or a Tiger's mane, who I am say it's not the right thing to do?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Spent a couple of hours at the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/">Metropolitan Museum of Art </a>this evening and discovered that I overlooked the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/romantic_more.asp">Girodet Exhibition </a>on my recent visits because I did not know about it.
<blockquote>
</blockquote><blockquote>
Girodet: Romantic Rebel
May 24, 2006â€“August 27, 2006
Special Exhibition Galleries, 2nd floor
Â </blockquote>

From the Exhibition Notes:
<blockquote>This is the first American retrospective devoted to A. L. Girodet-Trioson (1767â€“1824), a favored but rebellious pupil of Jacques-Louis David. Girodetâ€™s idiosyncratic style fuses Davidâ€™s Neoclassical ideal with his own prescient Romantic vision. A selection of approximately 100 paintings and works on paper reflects his originality and the diversity of his works, from mythological subjects to portraits and representations of Napoleonâ€™s military triumphs.Â Â </blockquote>
Here's the <a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images.asp">paintings I responded to the mostÂ </a>.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/view_1.asp?item=0">The Oath of the Horatii</a>, 1786
Jacques-Louis David (French, 1748â€“1825)
Toledo Museum of Art.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

I thought The Oath of the Horatii was a David painting - but this "copy" was also sorta an original and surpassed David, I'm told, in the transparancies in the background.Â  While David ran a tight ship, and made his students compete with each other - Girodet began to develop a dislike of David and decided to move away from his former master as soon as began to mature as an artist.Â 

I think David's studio was probably a good place to be during the late 1780's - 1790's but if you wanted to develop your own individuality - you needed to break away from David, and that's what Girodet did.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Endymion.T.jpg">The Sleep of Endymion</a>, 1791
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e du Louvre, Paris.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem3.jpg' alt='' /></center>

It was hard to believe the same artist that painted in under David would also paint something so different than anything that David would have done, or approved of.Â  Of course, by the time Girodet painted The Sleep of Endymion, he was living in Rome, having won the Prix De Rome in 1789 (it was a good time to get away from Paris anyway - right?).

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Burial-of-.T.jpg">Burial of Atala</a> (rÃ©pÃ©tition of 1808 original), 1813
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e Girodet, Montargis.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem4.jpg' alt='' /></center>

The masterpiece in the show - the one painting that would cement Girodet's place in Art History.Â  One thing I noticed - there are artists that are important in their time, and go on to be famous for "all time" - like Velasquez, Titian, Michaelangelo, Raphael, Rubens, Constable, Rembrandt, etc.Â Â  Then there are no less deserving artists who are important for their time, but don't transend into universality - Girodet is one of these types of artists - though at moments he almost touches pure greatness.

<a href="http://www.metmuseum.org/special/Girodet/images/Chateaubriand.T.jpg">FranÃ§ois-RenÃ© de Chateaubriand</a>, 1808
Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (French, 1767â€“1824)
MusÃ©e d'Histoire et d'Ethnographie, Saint-Malo

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/rem5.jpg' alt='' /> </center>Â 

What can I say; I never read Chateaubriand but the image is very familar to me - and therefore I can say this painting is one of the more important one's in the show, to me, for that reason.

<strong>Burial of Atala was probably my favorite painting in the show</strong>; everyone in NYC who is into art should go and see the Girodet: Romantic Rebel show - there's only three weeks left.Â  I'll probably go once more before the show closes.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The New York Times talks about <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2006/08/03/technology/03basics.html?ex=1155268800&en=298298e6e1f6d727&ei=5012&partner=CNET">H.D.R. Photography</a>.
<blockquote>"<strong>Although H.D.R. photos are often compared to paintings</strong>, they are an attempt by software makers to allow photography to more accurately mimic human vision.

Dynamic range measures how great a difference between light and dark can be captured by a digital camera or film. Relative to the human eye, all photography has a limited dynamic range, and digital photography suffers even more than film.

It is this limitation that leads to landscape photos where a dramatic sky appears as a washed-out smudge. A classic example of the problem is trying to photograph a roomâ€™s interior while still capturing the view outside its windows. In that case, photographers are usually forced to choose either the room or its view as their subject.

<center><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/pic2.jpg' alt='' /></center>

</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"The concept of H.D.R. photography is fairly simple. It starts with a photographer harvesting every bit of difference in brightness by taking several different photos of the same scene, with large exposure differences between them. Software then sorts through the resulting images, which range from underexposed views that are nearly black to washed-out overexposures, to calculate the full dynamic range of the view. Using that vast amount of data, it then constructs a single, high dynamic range photo.</p>
At least thatâ€™s the theory. While the actual practice can be highly automated, it is slightly more complicated.</blockquote>
These H.D.R enhanced photos, such as those shown in the New York Times, look like illustrations or highly polished paintings - but they're still photographs.Â  I think the story here is not so much about High Dynamic Range Photos but the power that highend Adobe Software brings to the average photographer who has many more options of where to go with their photos than ever before.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I came across a press release earlier today about digital paintings that change based on your <a href="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/articles/releases/artmodd030806.html">emotional state</a>.Â  This looks interesting but I'm not sure how easy it would be for your average artist to use the technology.
<blockquote>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Computer scientists from Bath and Boston have developed electronic artwork that changes to match the mood of the person who is looking at it.</strong></p>
<p style="clear: both">Using images collected through a web cam, special software recognises eight key facial features that characterise the emotional state of the person viewing the artwork.</p>
<p style="clear: both">It then adapts the colours and brush strokes of the digital artwork to suit the changing mood of the viewer.</p>
<p style="clear: both">For example, when the viewer is angry the colours are dark and appear to have been applied to the canvas with more violent brush strokes.</p>
<p style="clear: both">If their expression changes to happy, the artwork adapts so that the colours are vibrant and more subtly applied.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://www.cs.bath.ac.uk/~vision/empaint/"><img style="width: 432px; height: 321px" height="321" alt="Maria Shugrina trying out the software (click for video page)" src="http://www.bath.ac.uk/news/images/artmood.jpg" width="432" /> </a></p>
<p style="clear: both">The project forms part of on-going research looking to develop a range of advanced artwork tools for use in the computer graphics industry.</p>
<p style="clear: both">This has already resulted in software which produces highly-detailed artistic versions of photographs, and allows designers to create animations directly from digital footage.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThe programme analyses the image for eight facial expressions, such as the position and shape of the mouth, the openness of the eyes, and the angle of the brows, to work out the emotional state of the viewer,â€ said Dr John Collomosse from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Bath.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œIt does all of this in real time, meaning that as the viewerâ€™s emotions change the artwork responds accordingly.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis results in a digital canvas that smoothly varies its colours and style, and provides a novel interactive artistic experience.</p>
<p style="clear: both">â€œThis kind of empathic painting only needs a desk top computer and a webcam to work, so once you have the programme and have calibrated it for the individual viewer, you are ready to start creating personalised art based on your mood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was thinking about a couple of details I left out of my last post about my interview with Olan tonight.

Olan Montgomery is very tuned into people's eyes and in his paintings he focuses on the eyes, esp in the portraits.Â  In one case Olan showed me the eyes of a portrait where all the details of that person's concern with recognition and copyrights was shown in symbols reflected in her eyes.Â  I don't think this is the portait he showed me but it's as close as I can find on his site.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img style="width: 397px; height: 402px" height="402" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/olgapavlova.jpg" width="397" /></font></p>
When you look at the eyes closely you'll see all kinds of things.

Speaking of seeing the soul of person in their eyes, I asked Olan to tell me what he saw in my eyes.Â Â  Honestly, being a Scorpio, I usually try to read others and don't want them to see into me.Â  But I think we all really want to be known as well (and it would be curious to see what kind of Portrait Olan would do of me).

Olan did not really want to say at first what he saw in my eyesÂ - he sorta brushed over it.Â  Then I asked again - and he said I was afraid of dying without having really lived and done things I wanted to do in my life yet.Â  He said he could see, in my eyes, that I was pre-occurpied with that - and that I did not need to worry so much about it - that what I wanted I could have now.

We discussed a couple of other things about why I started painting again and Olan said he'd like to own one of my paintings - he liked them.Â 

Olan talked a lot about his childhood, his family, the way he was brought up, and his Mother, EslyeÂ .Â  He's very close to his mother and feels she is more charitable by nature than he is (which is saying a lot because Olan appears to be a very charitable person - so if his mother is more than that, she must be very charitable).Â  He talked about how his mother would take his sibelings and some of the orphaned children near where he grew up to Museums as often as she could and how her life was devoted to art - and is devoted to art.Â Â  He mentioned that his father had a stroke 12 years ago and she takes care of him but never talks much about it.Â  Olan also talked about his twin brother and how they took very different paths in life, his brother being in theÂ army at one time, and really going after totally different things - and their orientation was different as well.

So, my first part of the interview was more concerned about the outer things -Â  but this part ofÂ my interview is more concerned about the inner part of Olan's life.

Olan is also a cosmetics specialist and is called in for model shoots and that explains his relationship with <a href="http://marmagazine.com/">M.A.R. Magazine</a>- where his painting graces the current issue with a portrait of Anne Hathaway, whom Olan has met.Â 

In fact, you can see the relationship between the models of M.A.R. magazine and many of Olan's paintings over the last year or two - it looks like his portraits, in some cases, grew out of his contacts with the models and his use of color and focus on the face grew out his work as a Cosmetics Specialist - which is a model's best friend.

I would not have written this second post on the Olan interview tonight - were it not for needing to present, as much as I could, a fuller account - and while I did not take photos, which I could have, I focused again, on just talking and letting the conversation form itself - much as a painting takes form.

Another thing Olan did with me tonight is take the areas of my life and drew them out as themes as they related to me (ie: Art, time alone, 9/11, Job) - it reminded me of the way a web analyst would segment traffic coming to a website or page - but in this case, the website/page is me - and the categories are part of my life.

So among the things Olan can call himself - a psychic, a soul reader, a keen observer who looks into the eyes looking for the soul.

And that's the end of my interview of Olan Montgomery - for now.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I find it much easier to write an interview of Olan without looking at my notes from tonight's dinner meeting; I met Olan down at his Gallery and we had dinner next, and he game me one of his small paintings as well (the painting was based on the image below - of a young, homeless, gay woman the artist befriended).Â Â  I was attracted to the face of a larger painting of this model and he gave me a smaller version of it.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Model" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/model.JPG" /></font></p>
We spoke about his current show which will be coming down soon and it's success.Â  <em>I asked Olan to define the metrics for a successful show</em> - that started a conversation where different arragements of sponserships and other commissioned works leads to a profitable show.Â  The money part of art was something Olan did not really want to focus onÂ  - he wants to be free to do his art and not have to get involved with the politics of gallery dealers and collectors.Â  We talked about how difficult it is to do art and live in NYC and that society, as it is today, is focused on the wrong things - like getting ahead at the cost of hurting other people.Â 

Olan thinks deeply about this and tells me he did not care for what happened recently on The View and how Star was replaced.

We moved on to another subject, using the internet to go past dealers and reach fans directly - Olan was intrigured with the idea of The Long Tail and using the internet to sell his work - but did not really know how to go about it.

I mentioned <a href="http://www.amycrehore.com/">Amy Crehore</a>, and her devoted fan base plus the writeups in <a href="http://www.boingboing.net/2006/07/03/amy_crehores_the_cre.html">Boing Boing </a>as an example of reaching fans and buyers without <em>going through dealers</em> (though she also does have dealers of her work).Â  Also the recent addition of <strong>Charles Saatchiâ€™s</strong> <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website which <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist/details.php?id=8532"><strong>Olan Montgomery</strong>Â used to create his own mini-site with his work</a>.Â  Olan found out about the Saatchi online gallery through me, as did a friend of mine, Drew Knapp, who did the same thing (posted his work).

In fact, I used the Saatchi online gallery to discuss the first instance, to my knowledge, of a Major Gallery Dealer getting involved with Social Marketing, Viral Marketing - it's as if Charles Saatchi gets it - he understands that many artists want a legitamate way to reach dealers like himself and Saatchi also wants to discover new artists - so he makes it possible to do so with the <a href="http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/"><font color="#b85b5a">Your Gallery </font></a>website - and become the most progressive art dealer.Â  Yes, I give Charles Saatchi credit for seeing something that needed to be done in social media and doing it (and he did a good job with Your Gallery).

Olan mentioned the Chelesa art galleries in the West 20's where some artists are able to get sponsership but to just survive and do their work, is such a struggle (it always has been).Â Â  Olan mentioned that being an Art Dealer was a good business to be in - but being an artist is much harder.Â Â  I interjected and said it was always like that with a couple of artist superstars (ie: Picasso is a prime example) making a most of the money while most other artists can hardly make anything.Â Â 

In fact, <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/07/day_of_the_long_tail_movie.html">with the Long Tail</a>, created by theÂ economies of the internet - many artists can thrive in ways that would have been much harder even 5 years ago (and that is not generally understood yet)Â - I think Amy Crehore is an example of that - an artist with a strong fan base - who really can do well with internet publicityÂ - and you don't need to be a Picasso (or the modern version of that - or even be part of theÂ <a href="http://www.whitney.org/">Whitney Biennial</a> (see my review of the Whitney Biennial <a href="http://www.webmetricsguru.com/2006/04/my_review_of_the_2006_whitney.html">here</a>) to utilize the power of internet to magnify your brand.

In fact, there's much that I did not discuss with Olan tonightÂ - I will have to cover in the next interview.Â  For example - Olan's site uses AdSense and Affiliate Marketing, along with a series of articles and news - and it was only by looking at it in detail tonight - after speaking with him (where he mentioned he does write articles and post to his site and on other sites as well) that I went back and took a look at some of what he posted.Â  What I see is we need another interview do discuss how he approaches his website marketing of his own work and brand and what kind of volume of visitors his site generates.Â  These are questions for Webmetricsguru.com but they apply here as Olan clearly is using the power of Google Advertising and Affiliate Marketing toÂ  make part of a living.Â 

Olan suggested we get together again, on a monthly basis to continue this conversation.Â  We also talked about having me interview his mother, who is also an artist and a very interesting person.Â 

Getting back to the interview I did tonight -I found out an interesting metric - it takes Olan about 0.00, or more to produce one painting using the techniques and media he employs (there's often the cost of the paints, strecher, linen, photo transfer, etc) and that he sees all the work he does and what he makes off it as a way to continue painting - in other words, much of the money made on a show is re-invested back into this work - and I think that's the right thing for an artist to do, personally.

The meeting ended with a walk back, next door, to Ward-Nasse Gallery where Olan showed me the work of other artists in the Gallery and introduced me to the Art Dealer who runs Ward-Nasse.Â Â  I also took the opportunity to look at some more of Olan's paintings near the back of the Gallery that I had not really looked at as well as some of the other artists who have shows at Ward-Nasse.

By the Way, Olan did treat me to dinner which included Pasta and two glasses of red wine each.Â  Olan had his dog with him, and the dog was begging us for food - I ate all of mine so Olan put out part of his pasta plate - about a third of the dish and the dog finished it.

And that's it for tonight's interview with Olan Montgomery.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Tonight I missed <a href="http://nystudiogallery.com/">Innerscapes by Rachel Madden </a>but I would have rather had seen that show than what was at Six Feet Under (which I did end up seeing);Â  I just did not show up on time.
<blockquote>INNERSCAPES
Paintings by Rachel Madden
July 13 â€“ September 3, 2006

Opening reception: Thursday, July 27, 5:30 PM- 7:30 PM

NY Studio Gallery
is pleased to present paintings by Rachel Madden.These intimate, mesmerizing oil on canvas landscapes relay an intrinsically meditative quality springing from the human condition of hope amid despair.Â </blockquote>

<p align="center"><img title="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" style="width: 417px; height: 299px" height="299" alt="Innerscape by Rachel Madden" src="http://nystudiogallery.com/Rachelindex.jpg" width="417" /></p>
<p align="left">Hopefully this picture is not too large (in pixel size) or else I'll need to resize it.</p>
<p align="left">Kinda similar, in some respects to Bonnard's work and does not have a title and is 24 x 30 inches.Â Â  Had I arrived earlier - this would have been the show to see.</p>
<p align="left">I have a problem with making it over to the West Side - its' really out of the way for me.Â  The galleries that have taken over Chelsea are mixed in with moving companies and the remains of the 3rd Avenue EL.Â  I have mixed feelings about having so many galleries that far west.Â  On the good side - you can hit several openings at one time; on the bad side - it's really an effort to go there in the first place.</p>
<p align="left">I wish the galleries would do something extra to encourage more people to come over to Chelsea - like provide a free meal, or a free something - I don't know - I just think that sticking all the galleries in Chelsea does not quite feel right or natural - but maybe that's just me.Â  I liked all this stuff down in Soho much better.Â </p>
<p align="left">And By the way, Park Slope and Brooklyn is up and coming and maybe thats' the place to be.Â  Forget about Chelsea, go and build all these galleries in Park Slope.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I showed up to a video installation of Lutz Bacher's Scences from the Ring at the <a href="http://www.artcal.net/event/view/1/2830">Six Feet Under </a>Gallery in West 26th street and 10th Avenue.
<blockquote>Jarrett Gregory - July 27th
featuring Lutz Bacher

Six Feet Under is a theme-driven annual summer series featuring six proposals by six curators. As in previous years, the purpose of the series is to offer each curator and artist a weeklong opportunity to tackle White Box's unique architecture and its six feet below ground exhibition space. The exhibitions are viewed through White Box's sidewalk-level large window, lobby and in [VideoBox], a division of White Box located in an adjacent outdoor window.

This last and final edition brings to an end the six-year long series with a topic that specifically addresses the impact and scope of the Chelsea Arts District real estate development. Six young and emerging curators are invited to select six galleries, each of which will then suggest an artist to work with. The artists will present and install a work that reflects upon the realities and relationships of Chelsea's artists' studios and galleries versus the rampant real estate speculation that has resulted in forever-escalating costs affecting the entire arts industry. Perhaps the real question is whether or not there is complicity between all the forces at play and why some artists and galleries end up losing and others win, which in turn will affect, in unknown ways, the community we have forged.

Organized by Juan Puntes</blockquote>
However, the show I saw does not match up with the program notes, above.Â  I have usually had a hard time understanding or accepting Video Art in Galleries (presented much as paintings would be) as I don't understand what the message isÂ  - and I usually haven't been able to "get it".Â  I did not "get it" tonight either.

I love the online videos from YouTube, Google Video, IFilm, etc, that I can stream on my websiteÂ - but I don't understand the message and economics here.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[I was finally able to get over to the <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>today to do a little painting; I took my son Adam with me and managed to get him to sit for me and did this sketch (below).

<font face="Courier New"><img src='http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/Adam.JPG' alt='Adam S.' /></font>

It's difficult enough to get a teenager to sit still for long - I managed to get Adam to sit for about 90 minutes.

I usually try to finish whatever I'm working on in the same sitting - as far as I can.Â  Years ago, when I painted more often, I felt I often overpainted and it took much longer to achieve anything.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[As I mentioned in <a href="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/2006/07/22/baplab-july-22-2006-3rd-ward-in-brooklyn-ny/">my last post</a>, I planned to go to BAPLab2006 and I did; I'm 80 dollars poorer for it but I had a good time and it was all in the name of Art, or something like that.Â  I took a lot of pictures too - but I'm not sure it makes sense to post them here as quickly take up space on the webservers - maybe I'll post one or two pictures, that's it.

There were a couple of thousand people attending a werehouse that was converted into a large art gallery - happening space.Â Some of the same artists that were part of the NYU Interactive Communications Program were also in this show and I spoke to one artist whom I remembered from a couple of months ago.
<p align="center"><font face="Courier New"><img alt="Portrait of Me altered" src="http://www.artnewyorkcity.com/wp-content/IMG00039.JPG" /></font></p>
Â 

There was a photo montage that altered a person and you could interact with it - and I am showing me, being altered, not for the better, I'm afraid.Â  Actually, the work I was part of here was called Musical Chari: A Game for One Musical Chair: A Game for One.Â  This work is influenced by the artist's (Geoffery Bell) fascination with visual apparatuses from the 19th Century.Â Â  When the viewer remains still (me in this case) the repetitive images of the viewer gradually coalesce into a single image.Â  Audio segments are also triggered and manipulated by the viewer's movements (that's me, again).

Â Other Artists I looked at were Ernesto Kar's Convergenze Parallele, Jake Klotz's Rejoice/Restage and another work called Robot/ a canternary project.Â 

One thing - I went up to the third floor and noticed some bathrooms without doors - they were part of the art installation but people were using them as actual bathrooms - and I must admit, so did I.Â  I think, only men did this - I did not see any woman using the art installation / bathrooms this way.

There was also a walled off room where some "oracles" were doing readings - or something - and there were silkscreen pictures of nude woman that were semi transparant (that made it interesting to know what was going on inside).Â  However, I never did find out as i was too hot and the line too long.

I should add that the show I attended appeared to be made up of a couple of groups including the 3rd Ward, a member based studio and workshop facility geared towards established and emerging artists - with facilities for audio/music recording, dance/performance studios, sculpture and fabrication, Digital Media Lab that is fully equipped, a gallery, converence space, lounge and Internet Access Cafe.Â Â  Sounds like 3rd Ward and the Bushwick Art Program have it all wrapped up (everythingÂ a modern artist could want) except the location - the location is too far out of the way for me to want to go over there - but if you live in GreenPoint, or nearby, it's probably a good place to have studio space - there was a little floor bot robot painting a painting of about the 1970's.Â  Don't ask me what it all means as I don't know.

I also found out about another artist space that is technology oriented closer to home called <a href="http://www.lemurplex.org/">LEMURPLEX</a>, located at 451 3rd Avenue, pretty close to <a href="http://www.brooklynartistsgym.com/">Brooklyn Artists Gym </a>(which I need to go over to, maybe Sunday - today - haven't been over there for a couple of weeks and I need to paint).
<blockquote>LEMURplex is a new performance/gallery/teaching space in Brooklyn, located between the vibrant neighborhoods of Park Slope, Carroll Gardens, Gowanus and Red Hook. LEMURplex will teach and showcase the best in art and technology.

<strong>LEMURplex is the home and workshop of LEMUR</strong>: League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots.

How Fantastic!Â  Here, but a mile or two from where I live a couple of blocks from where I paint, exists the League of Electronic Muscial Urban Robots that goes all over the world to perform and create installations.Â  There's also courses that are tought - but at t
