News - Bienal de Dakar, microcosmos del arte contemporáneo africano La V edición de la bienal, que se ha inaugurado el 10 de mayo y tendrá un mes de duración, se considera como la edición más ambiciosa de la bienal celebrada hasta el momento. Un total de trece países se ven representados en los salones de la bienal durante este mes, hasta su clausura el próximo 10 de junio: Argelia, Benín, Burkina Faso, Camerún, Costa de Marfil, Egipto, Etiopía, Madagascar, Marruecos, Nigeria, Senegal, Sudáfrica y Túnez. Senegal, el país anfitrión de la muestra es, evidentemente, el que cuenta con una mayor representación de sus jóvenes artistas, con un total de 12: Mansour Ciss, Soly Cissé, Félicité Codjo, Ndary Mbathoï Lo, Gabriel Kenzo Malou, Djibril Ndiaye, Ousmane Ndiaye Dago, Ibrahima Niang, Adam's O'Connor, Moussa Sakho, Mamady Seydi y Amadou Kane Sy. En total, sólo 13 de los 44 países que conforman el continente africano exponen sus tendencias en la bienal de Dakar, que según sus organizadores, tiene la intención de mostrar al mundo puramente arte africano.
ARTSingapore The First Art Newspaper on the Net The Museum of London said in a statement that this was "the first multidisciplinary study of the inhabitants of a city anywhere in the Roman Empire".© Museum of London. LONDON (AFP).- A DNA analysis of four ancient Roman skeletons found in London shows the first inhabitants of the city were a multi-ethnic mix similar to contemporary Londoners, the Museum of London said on Monday. Two of the skeletons were of people born outside Britain -- one of a man linked genealogically to eastern Europe and the Near East, the other of a teenage girl with blue eyes from north Africa. The injuries to the man's skull suggest that he may have been killed in the city's amphitheatre before his head was dumped into an open pit. Both the man and the girl were suffering from periodontal disease, a type of gum disease.

An Investigation at the Opening Day of Independent Projects in Chelsea Chelsea from the roof of the former Dia building, on the opening day of Independent Projects, which runs through November 15. Independent, founded by the art dealers Elizabeth Dee and Darren Flook in 2010, has always presented itself as a kind of antidote to the commercial circus that defines most art fairs. Held in the former Dia building in Chelsea, it features natural light and clever installations and a generally mellower vibe. Further contrasting the hectic feel of, say, the Armory Show, which runs concurrently with Independent in March, Dee has started a second edition of Independent, opening this week to coincide with the auctions in New York. Called Independent Projects, it will stay open for two weeks rather than the usual frenzied three days, and feature 40 galleries, all presenting small shows by a single artist. After the first weekend, the dealers will clear out and the fair will transition into a massive group show for the public. Virginia Overton at Mitchell-Innes & Nash.
