Gibbes Museum of Art, Charleston, SC USA United States of America The Gibbes Museum of Art plays host to two traveling exhibitions from December 19, 2008 through March 29, 2009. Painters of American Life: The Eight will be on view in the Main Gallery and The American Scene on Paper: Prints and Drawings from the Schoen Collection will be showcased in the Rotunda Galleries. 'These two exhibitions complement each other because of their focus on early 20th century American life but in two different mediums: paintings and prints. We are fortunate to be able to bring both exhibitions to Charleston simultaneously,' states Gibbes Executive Director Angela Mack. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

He worked from 1999-2005 as Exhibitions Organiser and Collections Coordinator at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, Venice, where he was responsible for all temporary exhibitions, collection installations and contemporary projects including the United States Pavilion at the Venice Biennale. In 2006-7 he worked as Curator at Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna, and has since been engaged in a series of independent curatorial, lecture and writing projects.

Hotel del Arte, Barcelona, ES Spain In the world of Art, where almost all subjects have already been exploited, the fact of finding artists and exhibitions with the capacity to surprise is encouraging from the point of view of the visitor who perseveres in his search for new ways of artistic expression. Such is the case of the artist Jaume Queralt, in his continuing plastic investigation. We talk about an artist who, from his isolation in his studio in the small town of Alforja (Tarragona) - where he lives and works -, is able to simultaneously develop different lines of argument, which despite being complementary, they respond to disparate reasonings with impact on different ways to understand the psyche and the human condition. Hotel del Arte promotes their artists with a Gallery Portfolio at absolutearts.com. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
