www.pbs.org For a decade—1956 to 1966—the Ferus Gallery was the catalyst of a nascent modern art scene, grooming idealistic beatniks into competitive, often-brilliant artists. It also helped to solidify the careers of many of New York’s shining stars including: Lichtenstein, Warhol and Johns. What was lost and gained is a complex web of egos, passions, money and art. THE COOL SCHOOL premieres Tuesday, June 10 onINDEPENDENT LENS, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. Visit the Web site for more: www.pbs.org
“Illogical Conclusions”, an exhibition at the East Hawaii Cultural Center / Hawaii Museum of Contemporary Arts features experimental works by internationally recognized Hilo artist, Sudha Achar. Through experimentation with sculpture, paint, collage, fabric and print forms, this solo exhibition emphasizes abstract work and explorations of the figure in relief form. Originally from India, Achar explains: these works are an attempt to understand the historical and cultural lineage of traditional as well as modern art forms reflecting an amalgamation of East and Western influences. Sudha Achar, former long-term Chair/CEO of EHCC/HMOCA and owner of the well-attended Sudha’s Art Gallery & Books business in downtown Hilo, is currently Emeritus Chair of the EHCC/HMOCA non-profit arts/culture organization. You may find more information on this exhibition and to contact the artist regarding her work, purchases, gallery proposals: www.ehcc.org www.sudhaachar.com
the art of Leigh J. mccloskey photographed and edited by David Wexler produced by Natural Media Research Laboratories, in association with Olandar Foundation and the Institute for Cinema Studies music : Gorecki, Symphony No. 3 Lento e Largo – tranquillissimo – Zofia Kila “Leigh is a visionary painter and philosopher who has transformed his home into an evolving canvas. His environmental painting, Hieroglyph of the Human Soul, crawls up bookshelves, across the floor, ceiling, and furniture of his studio. Filled with archetypal symbolism and alchemical imagery, Leigh’s work is unlike anything the modern art world has to offer. It is an honor to know him, for In my opinion, he is simply one of the great painters of all time; I have no doubt that in years to come his work will be discussed in the same breath as any of the great masters.” -David Wexler, founder Natural Media Research Laboratories for more info visit : www.leighmccloskey.com www.naturalmediaresearch.com 2007
