Um die einen war es bereits in jungen Jahren geschehen, bei anderen half der Zufall nach. Doch wie kommt es, dass bekannte Autorinnen und Autoren den inneren Kompass auf Richtung Norden eingestellt haben?
'Manche der Stoffe und Motive, die ich 'im Norden' finde, kommen mir nah genug, um auch mich zu meinen, und sind doch so fremd, um hier, bei uns (in mir), nicht schon ganz zerdacht zu sein', vermerkt zum Beispiel Verena Stössinger zum intensiven Wechselspiel, das zwischen ihr als Autorin und der Landschaft mit seiner Bevölkerung stattfindet.
Nordlandliebe liefert acht Antworten, acht Liebeserklärungen an den Norden und zeichnet zugleich eine literarische Topographie, die nicht nur Sehnsuchtsreisende erfreuen und überraschen wird."

Collage Artistry

Collage Artistry: "Don't fret over stuff, just be yourself. Create what you want and don't worry so much about what people think. After all...everyone else isn't living your life, you are. Enjoy It!

I decided to play along the the girls at 'Point Blank Period' this month. The prompt was 'Get Over It'. So I decided I would do a mini book with the idea. I will be filling the little pockets in this journal with pages of writings of things that I just want to vent about or just get over. Each page has at least one pocket on it, so I can tuck them full of stuff."

Larry Eisenstein New Work 2008-89

Larry Eisenstein New Work 2008-89



Eisenstein’s new drawing show, Cellves, obsesses on the biology of human unconscious processes and asks the questions: Are the laws of nature merely habits? And can they be transformed by art?

The show's genesis is New Biology’s discovery of morphogenetic fields or morphic resonances which biochemist Rupert Sheldrake defines as the “basis of memory in nature....the idea of mysterious telepathy-type interconnections between organisms and of collective memories within species.”

Cellves considers how individuals are able to both draw upon and contribute to this collective memory, and how through morphic resonance new patterns of behavior spread through the world more rapidly.

The New Biology's developmental scientists believe that without a holistic and integrative conception of living organization, our collective survival as a species would drown in oceans of data, as yet more genomes get sequenced, genes get cloned and proteins characterized.

Beginning with random and unconscious marks on paper, followed by labour intensive and painstakingly precise methods in the tradition of brut art, Eisenstein’s depictions of an evolving Cellfe grow like a specimen taken from the drawings of 19th century German biologist Ernst Haeckel, put in a Petri dish and left to morphogenetically rip.

Larry Eisenstein was born, lives and works in Toronto. He has recently updated his career status to re-emerging visual artist.

Getty Images: "Getty Images Gallery is London’s largest independent photographic gallery and was founded in 1996. Originally based in Jubilee Place, Chelsea, its relocation to Eastcastle Street, just a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus and in the fast growing media hub of Noho, provides a more central venue for corporate hospitality and business client events."

» Barbie Redux

» Barbie Redux: "Barbie turned fifty this year, time to give her new life! so, I am coordinating an altered Barbie exhibit.

Any one may submit. Consider Barbie a blank canvas. By alteration I mean, painted, cut, re-assembled, decorated, embellished, collaged, tatooed, pierced, melted, sewn, adorned, hanging, standing, sitting, twirling, enclosed. She must be display ready, ie, if she can not stand, provide a stand for her, if she is to be hung, have something from which to hang her by. Be imaginative, turn Barbie into art."
