MASS MoCA, North Adams, MA USA United States of America | | Felix's Machines by Felix Thorn
Gasworks Gallery, London, UK United Kingdom Felix�s Machines are a series of extraordinary mechanical instruments put together by the artist and musician Felix Thorn in his South London bedroom. The project, which began in 2006, is continuously evolving and will do so throughout and after its time at Gasworks. During the exhibition, musicians and producers will respond to Felix�s Machines in a series of events exploring its musical potential. When connected to a computer, Felix�s Machines translate Thorn�s compositions into mechanical actions performed by customised drums and piano parts and animated by solenoids, springs and motors. In this way, an electronic means of production is transposed into an acoustic output. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

California Palace of the Legion of Honor, San Francsco, CA USA United States of America Leonardo da Vinci�s drawings form the heart of the Renaissance master�s artistic legacy and continue to fascinate and challenge viewers today.

Previously exhibited at the Birmingham Museum of Art, Leonardo da Vinci: Drawings from the Biblioteca Reale in Turin, marks the first time that this remarkable group of drawings has been loaned to a U.S. exhibition by the Biblioteca Reale (Royal Library) in Turin, Italy. This small-scale traveling exhibition presents the first opportunity to view these drawings together, outside of Italy. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Art Market Past and Present
Nicholas Forrest, Australia
 If you believe that art auction results are the be all and end all of the art market and that art auction results tell the full story of the evolution of art prices then you should probably reconsider your point of view. What art auction results do reflect is an extremely narrow view of how art market participants are reacting to the various influences that affect what price people are willing to pay for a work of art at a very specific moment in time. Looking at the sale history of an artwork over a period of one or two years or for that matter even five years may not give enough information to be able to truly appreciate how the value of that artwork has evolved.
