AVA - Association for Visual Arts, Cape Town, ZA South Africa Lynne Lomofsky's new multimedia exhibition, A Patient Copy, opens at the AVA on March 2nd. Her first solo exhibition since Body of Evidence, which showed at the AVA in June 2003, Lomofsky continues her engagement with 'the sick body' and how illness may be visualised and represented, drawing - often literally - on the medical imagery that schematically represents her physical status, and infers the themes of her daily realities. A Patient Copy includes recent explorations in paint, digital print, video and the latest biomedical imaging technologies. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com
| | | Gerhard Richter. Abstract Paintings
Haus der Kunst, Munich, DE Germany Gerhard Richter. Abstract Paintings are on view at Haus der Kunst in Munich from February 27 - May 17, 2009. Gerhard Richter has been painting his abstract paintings since the 1970s. Today they comprise two-thirds of all his work. With its concentration on this painting type, this exhibition differs from past Richter retrospectives, which primarily focused - each updated - on the proportional shift from the artist's photograph-based paintings to his abstract ones. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

A mad junky in the name of art (Part 1 of 2)
findigart
 Should being an "artist" automatically excuse for immorality and capriciousness? Triggering questions Who said that art must gush from misery, struggle with God and misanthropy until the inevitable conclusion of insanity, catatonic apathy or a lonesome death in some filthy one-room apartment filled with dirty needles? Who said that art is a spring of all that which is incomplete, conflicted and chaotic? What is the value of art created by such artists? Is an artist who walks around whole and happy in the street of Berlin (or Cairo for that matter) will create shallower art than one who sits all day long and occupies himself with forcefully finding reasons to cut off his ear, or one that lives a wild and hallucinative lifestyle, consequent of a morally unrestrained mind, swept away blindly by destructive instincts and urges? Must an artist destroy himself in order to create art? And what's the relationship between art and the essence of life? And who even said that art is a means for the realization of this essence?
