There are no rules. That is how art is born, how breakthroughs happen. Go against the rules or ignore the rules. That is what invention is about.

opens Fri, Jan 31, 6-8p: KAZUKO MIYAMOTO INVISIBLE-EXPORTS Gallery, 89 Eldridge St., NYC the first solo exhibition in New York, in over a decade, of work by Kazuko Miyamoto, a preeminent feminist figure of minimalism. Born in wartime Tokyo, Miyamoto moved to New York in 1964, studied at the Arts Student League, and soon became assistant to Sol Lewitt⦠In her early work, (between 1968 and 1972), Miyamoto was primarily a painter of large-scale bichromatic acrylic canvases, works that inflected and, in some ways, undermined formal systems with modest, organic painterly elements. In 1973, the year of her first gallery shows in New York and Italy, Miyamoto embarked on a major nail-and-string wall-based installation at MoMAāthe elegant, path-breaking site-specific work which she had been refining for several years as she moved away from painting, and would become her signature work between 1972 and 1979.

Agnes Martin
HOME AND AWAY: Though the desert plant has become synonymous with Ruth Asawaās work in sculpture, she was first introduced to the plant by a friend who suggested she draw it instead. In speaking of her difficulties with the task, she said:
Ā āI started in 1962, when a friend of ours brought a desert plant from Death Valley and said, āHereās something for you to draw.ā I tried to draw it, but it was such a tangle that I had to construct it in wire in order to draw it.ā
Asawaās exercise in creating a sculpture before a drawing resulted in a rich composition that conveys the textures and dimensions of the plant. For the first state, Asawa used two aluminum plates in addition to a stone plate. Orange and yellow inks were applied to the aluminum plates, while pink ink was applied to the stone plate.Ā
For the second state, Asawa used the stone for Desert Plant along with a second stone plate similarly etched with a desert plant. Red-brown ink was used for the first layer, and for the second layer, registration marks were moved slightly and printed with orange ink. This layered image gives the desert flower a sense of depth and dimension, resulting in the illusion that the flowerās petals are receding and expanding. Viewed from afar, the print could easily be mistaken for one of Asawaās hanging desert plant sculptures. Home and Away: The Printed Works of Ruth Asawa is on view through January 19, 2015.

This is a story of why life is better on wax.
I learned about Tinariwen, a hypnotic Saharan Desert blues-rock collective thatās been around since the early 1980s from a friend last month. He put one of their new songs on a mixtape for me, or whatever one calls a collection of songs curated and...
beautifully written. thank you.Ā
Hilma af Klint (Swedish, 1862-1944)
Altarpiece Number 1, Group X, 1907
Hilma af Klintās paintings are diagrams of a spiritual plane that underlies the visual world. She was a member of a small group of women who would meet to access religious spirits with knowledge of the afterlife.Ā
Gregor, one of the spiritual masters she contacted during these meetings, said to her that the paintings represent "All the knowledge that is not of the senses, not of the intellect, not of the heart but is the property that exclusively belongs to the deepest aspect of your being [ā¦] the knowledge of your spirit."
Altarpiece Number 1 was intended to display in the Goetheanum, Rudolf Steinerās spiritual centerĀ in Switzerland. It never reached this destination, so the painting survived the Goetheanum fire of 1923.
According to her wishes, Hilma af Klintās paintings were kept secret from the public until 20 years after her death.

circumhorizontal arcs photographed by (click pic)Ā david england, andy cripe, del zane, todd sackmannĀ andĀ brandon rios. this atmospheric phenomenon, otherwise known as a fire rainbow, is created when light from a sun that is at least 58 degrees above the horizon passes through the hexagonal ice crystals that form cirrus clouds which, because of quick cloud formation, have become horizontally aligned.
