Outbreak: Hand Cut Paper Microbes and Pathogens by Rogan Brown

Over four months in the making, the work depicts an array of interconnected sculptures—entirely hand cut from paper—based on the smallest structures found within the human body: cells, microbes, pathogens, and neurons. Art. ArtFoodHistory The Wines of Gala: Salvador Dalí’s Surrealist Wine Guide Republished for the First Time in 40 Years Last published in 1978, The Wines of Gala is Salvador Dalí’s eccentric guide to wine grapes and their origin.

Filled with over 140 appropriated artworks and collages collected and created by Dalí, the book is an equally surreal follow-up to TASCHEN’s reprinting of the artist’s cookbook Les Diners de Gala. In addition to Jean-François Millet’s The Angelus, which was a constant point of reference in Dali’s works, visuals include a Bacchus-like kitten, and a sort of tableau vivant featuring Dali himself. In keeping with Dalí’s efforts to create artwork based on his emotions, memories, and dreams, the artist chose to organize the wines in the book by how they influenced his mood. The 296-page wine bible published by TASCHEN is now available for pre-order. ArtIllustration. Alb (White) exhibition @ Art Yourself Gallery.

“Control Issues” Photographs by Emily Blincoe

Do I control it or does it control me? Typically I withdraw into a manic set of activities like attempting to shop for all of my gifts in August just to “get ahead of it”. I have learned over the years to relax a bit and put the tinsel and rush into perspective. Now, I most look forward to things like spending time with my daughter over her college break or watching my 2 1/2 year-old niece go from lap to lap at our family dinner. Angelo Musco. Turning reality upside down and creating works that run counter to preconceived ideas, is one of Angelo Musco’s strategies.

Living structures (ie: nests, amniotic sacs, eggs) both literal and figurative stir a depth of emotion that relates to the artist’s delayed and traumatic birth that left both physical and subconscious scares. The human body is the artist’s medium. He melds bodies like hundreds of brush strokes, creating large compositions that are re-workings of nature’s structures from the XY chromosome to a nurturing ant colony to a gigantic swirling underwater nest. Ronit Baranga.

Artist Statement The use of fingers and mouths in my work is full of intent and meaning.

Ronit Baranga

The fingers and the mouth are very sensual organs in the human body and are therefore very powerful as separated items from it. The “seamless” combination of these organs in plates or cups, appearing as one, creates, in my opinion, new items that “feel” their environment and respond to it.
