ZONE: Contemporary Art, New York, NY USA United States of America ZONE: CONTEMPORARY ART begins 2009 with 'Jack Sal: Re/Vision' a long overdue exhibition for a multi-faceted artist. His work appears in the many permanent collections, including the Museum of Modern Art and the International Center of Photography in New York City, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Museum Moderner Kunst in Vienna. He is a respected figure in Europe, where he has mounted a series of remarkable site-specific installations. He has collaborated with William Wegman and Sol Lewitt and exhibited along side Sigmar Polke and Nan Goldin. But Sal�s work remains largely unfamiliar to the American public. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

| | | Nature - Paintings by Kazi Ghiyasuddin
Aakriti Art Gallery, Kolkata, WB IN India If we agree that simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication, viewing painting's by Kazi Ghiyasuddin, should be an indulgence and a pleasure trip, when following a path of natural abstraction. The artist originates from Bangladesh, but he has influences of the Far Eastern ideals, as his major half of art education had been taken care by that part of the world, which can clarify his visual orientations. As Harou Sanda, an art journalist from Japan puts it, Ghiyasuddin's lyricism by the hue of transparentness and free frame structure with symbolic figures in his works remind us of two great innovators in painting in the twentieth century: Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee.

DEMI-GODS
Michael Corbin
Who were they? Did they fly or have x-ray vision? Could they lift trains or push jets down runways? Were they soothsayers or just truth seekers? I've been thinking about those DEMI-GODS. We know them well ... instant, one name recognition first name or last. Caravaggio, Rembrandt, Monet, Picasso. We also have the founding fathers ... Franklin, Jefferson, Washington and Adams. Let's not forget our athletes ... Jordan, Favre, Tiger, Armstrong and Phelps. They leave us spellbound, asking immediately unanswerable questions. So many DEMI-GODS, so little time. Why am I writing this you ask? Well, just a few minutes ago I was watching C-SPAN. They were running a taped lecture from 2005 by author and historian H.W. Brands. He was talking about his book, "Andrew Jackson: His Life and Times." It was a fascinating talk.
