Month: February 2012

On Saturday 10th February 2012 John Cox armed himself with several cans of fabric ink, 40 t-shirts of varying sizes, and two silk printing screens and met the kids from the Diabetes Research Institute with a plan to print t-shirts for the Rock Wall Climbing event on March 10th. Here are some photos… visit DEN Bahamas for more photos and information.

Bahamian artist El Padrino was gone for ‘a minute’, and now he is back with a new song and a new video. It is gaining positive reviews locally and internationally. The “Duffles” video was shot on Rose Island and Norman’s Cay. It is the first video from the artist since he took his short break a year and a half ago.

The Bahamas has seen many art shows over the years, but rarely comes along an artist brave enough to present a body of work that defies convention. The Central Bank of The Bahamas opened the year with one if its most provocative exhibitions to grace its gallery. Bahamian master artist John Beadle’s recent work, ‘Nature’s Lines’ draws our attention to the natural beauty of a line we often disregard.

The exhibition ends Friday, February 17, 2012

How do we construct our realities? It’s something you may think about when you walk through the ceramic exhibition by 2011 Junior Residents at Popopstudios International Center for Visual Arts.

In “Habitat”, opening this Thursday February 16 from 6-9 p.m., College of The Bahamas students Alistair Stevenson and Keva Fawkes use their ceramic forms to explore the ways human nature collides with surrounding landscapes to form subjective realities.

For four years, Empty Bowls has been a charity event that not only promotes art and culture in the country but also benefits the needy in our community.

Alistair Stevenson was busy last week preparing for his upcoming exhibition “Habitat” – in which his ceramic artwork will be shown along with Keva Fawkes – both 2011 Junior Resident Artists at Popopstudios. Alistair utilized a smoke-firing technique for some of the sculptures that will be on display

The Transforming Spaces committee is completing plans for its eighth year on the Bahamian art scene. The popular annual bus tour which provides a window into the galleries, studios, artwork and lives of the best visual art organizations and practitioners in the country, will take place this year on Saturday and Sunday, March 24 and 25.

With his studio space in the back and a gallery space at the front, Lunn both invites structure into his living space and injects informality into an otherwise very formal practice. Such a space presents more of a whole picture of the artist as well as a comfortable atmosphere where pressures to buy and sell are lifted, allowing easy and intimate conversation to flow.

“I learned from Kendal Hanna that spaces don’t have to be polished; shirts don’t have to be tucked in every time you show – sometimes a working space is appropriate,” said Lunn.
