It's hard for me to keep up with two blogs, so
I posted my review over on my other site. You can read the full post there, and if…

Today, we visited Bytom's sole contemporary "gallery," which is funded by the city as part of the Cultural Center that houses the dance festival we've been enjoying. The gallery,
Kronica, seems to operate on a theoretical level. Our host, Stach Ruksza, described the mission as bringing something of the "alien" to the Polish Silesian region. Whereas many other parts of Poland and Eastern Europe are experiencing an influx of "the outsider"…

For those of you interested in dance, I'm writing a bit about the XV Annual Dance Conference and Performance Festival in Bytom Poland at
DNA World, including some of my dance photos (there's a first time for everything). Here are some of the non-dance visual highlights (caveat that they're straight out of the camera so far).

Wendy and I started our visit to Poland with 24 hours in Warsaw and made a good visit with the curator of the Center for Contemporary art. There was a really good exhibit of a Polish artist who lived much of his life in London. He and his wife were better known as writers: the Themersons, Stefan and Francziczka. His visual art consisted of really unique photograms, some of which he created using structure made of a sheet of glass for holding objects with room for a camera below. Here…

Don't miss this amazing description of artists in America from the
New York Times. According to the latest U.S. census, "artist" is one of the biggest professions in the country, responsible for huge amounts of income and covering everything from modern dancer to architect.

St. Ann's Warehouse is producing an all-out and quite astounding, graphic version of Mabceth, which opens next week. Oh, and did I mention that it's in Polish? The
NY Times has a full article on it today. Too big to fit into St. Ann’s theater in Dumbo, it will be staged on a specially constructed, two-story stage in the roofless, 19th-century Tobacco Warehouse across the…

Roseanne Cash delivers a deep and eloquent article in the NY times, pondering the distinction between fact and truth, how they relate to meaning, and how truth and meaning can be found through the creative process.
