Beauty in print 08/03/2004 04:35 PM

Browsing at my local library, I just came across a display of the winners of this year's Canadian Awards for Excellence in Book Design. I was blown away by the design and content of The Gryphons of Paris, a limited edition collection of black-and-white photos of surpassing beauty. This led me to the web page of the photographer, Ronald Hurwitz, his city vignettes and remarkable portraits. A good reminder that not everything of value can be found on the internet.

Brains and beauty, etc. 04/16/2004 06:27 PM
A brain study released today shows that the human ability to appreciate aesthetics is based in the prefontal cortex, part of the brain involved in decision making. The scientists at the Balearic Islands University in Spain came to this conclusion by imaging their subjects' brains while looking at art and photography. According to the study, quoted in Scientific American, "'a phylogenetic change in the prefontal cortex could give way to the decorative and artistic profusion' in humans."
Another study published today by Northwestern University suggests that "Eureka!" moments of insight activate "a distinct area in the right hemisphere of the brain's temporal cortex," a region where semantic connections occur.
"For thousands of years people have said that insight feels different from more straightforward problem solving," one of the researchers said. "We believe this is the first research showing that distinct computational and neural mechanisms lead to these breakthrough moments."

Audrey-Samsara-still
Manuel Schmettau says:

"An artwork (video) by my friend Amy Jenkins, featuring her daughter breastfeeding and falling asleep, has been called "distasteful" and removed from an exhibition at Salvatore Ferragamo's 5th Avenue store. (Ferragamo originally invited Amy to create the piece for their store's art gallery on the second floor.)

When asked to "create an artwork using inspiration from objects in their store," Amy was promised complete artistic freedom. Hesitant at first, she explored the store and fell in love with a little pair of red shoes, which turned out to be called the "Audrey" shoes (they were originally designed for Audrey Hepburn.) As her daughter is also named Audrey, she felt it was fate to accept the invitation. It was not a commercial commission, and she financed the production of the video herself.

Amy would love to show this piece elsewhere, unfortunately it was made specially for their 42" widescreen monitor (a costly item that she doesn't own!) Her hope is that "The Audrey Samsara" will soon be shown at a more open-minded venue."

The New York Daily News ran an item about the controversy. Lin k

Depression and The Beauty that Remains


Depression and The Beauty that Remains 01/23/2004 06:33 PM
Over the last several days, there has been an extraordinary bloom of sweet commentary pursuant to my last three posts regarding the departure of Spalding Gray. Your eloquence, humor, and, above all, your honesty are proof to me that he is alive and, indeed, becoming more so in your hearts. You are his witnesses. What you've said here is all the evidence one needs that Spalding planted something beautiful, if a little goofy, in this world that will continue to blossom even without his being here to tend it. I am particularly grateful to the many who've openly discussed their own battles with depression, the most insidious enemy there can be. Fighting clinical depression is an inevitably lonely struggle. What could be less conducive to compassion than a disease that make you whine? Laymen and loved ones tell you to get a grip. They make you feel ashamed to be sick. Even if they're more enlightened about the disease, they can't help but harbor a secret, naturally human, belief that you are suffering a failure of will rather than biochemistry. Meanwhile, the doctors consider little but the neuro-soup and turn you into a shambling medical experiment, testing pharmaceutical nostrums on you that are as blunt as the mind is subtle, though just as unpredictable. Meanwhile, your cold world trudges on. It remains, despite all visible signs of well-being - wonderful spouse, great kids, well-located house, whatever - a purgatory of uselessness, barren of joy and meaning. Love, incoming or out-going, becomes something you think, not feel. I am very grateful that this has provided a forum where some of you feel free to speak of this affliction, which is too often suffered in a terrible silence. I am also very grateful for the personal tales you've told about your encounters with him, real and virtual, and how he affected your lives. Your comments are ample evidence that he was a good teacher. I fear that his children, and in particular his marvelous young sons, Forrest and Theo, will remember little of who he really was and what he really did. Worse, I suspect that much of what will remain as the memory of their father will be shadowed by who he became after depression closed its ghostly fist around his light. To the goal that they might re-remember him for them through our tales, I want to make a little book of your comments following the last three posts and give it to them. If any of you object to being included, and I hope none of you will, please let me know. They are better than the flowers one might send otherwise....

You may have to watch a brief ad to read the story. “My new heroes are the Brigham Young researchers whose scanners have unveiled ancient fragments of Sophocles, Euripides and the earliest Gospels.” “When I was a high school student studying Latin, my teacher, an owlish woman named Mrs. Hodges, would often ask us to translate on the fly as we were plodding our way through Virgil’s “Aeneid” or Caesar’s “Gallic Commentaries.” Normally, we…

Thai Lady-Man beauty contest 04/15/2004 01:10 PM
I'm no expert in Thai society, but I'm fascinated by the role of transvestites and transsexuals in Thai movies and popular culture. The relative cultural acceptance of "lady boys" seems to be rooted in part in Buddhist tradition, but modern manifestations owe as much to Holllywood dreams as anything else. For instance: the "Greatest Lady-man Pageant in the World," which took place last Friday in Pattaya, promising lady-men "more beautiful than you have ever seen anywhere before."
