Yeshiva University Museum, New York, NY USA United States of America The beauty of the fabrics and the high degree of skill lavished on Torah mantles are a measure of the regard in which the Torah is held. The mantles �dress� and protect the sacred, handwritten scroll comprising the first five books of Moses. In �Testimony and Memory: Contemporary Miniature Torah Mantles,� at the Yeshiva University Museum, London artist Carole Smollan reinterprets these ceremonial covers using remnants from huppot (wedding canopies) that she designed for couples from around the world. This collection of 56 exquisitely detailed miniature mantles will be on display from February 26 through July 26, 2009. Carole Smollan promotes her work with a Portfolio at absolutearts.com. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

Flounder Lee
Michael Corbin, Indiana
Flounder Lee is a photography professor at the Herron School of Art & Design at Indiana University/Purdue University in Indianapolis, Indiana. I met him there after I did a presentation about my first book, "Art In King Size Beds: A Collector's Journal." I thought that he would make an interesting interview subject. I think you'll agree. By the way, the attached photograph is a shot of him being interviewed in Serbia for his recent one man show there called, "ReMove". After reading out chat, check out his website at www.photoflounder.com MICHAEL: Hey Flounder. Thanks for agreeing to chat. First, let's start with the question that I'm sure you've be asked a million times. Flounder is an unusual, yet very cool name. Is there a story behind it?
