Starting in the new year, those interested in pursuing art or building upon their artistic practice and dialogue can do so at four art classes being offered by Popopstudios International Center for the Visual Arts.
Popop Artists At Albany Art Show
Last Friday evening, Albany residents and Nassau residents alike flocked to the luxury resort community to take part in the second ‘Art at Albany’, which showcased artwork from eleven local practicing artists in the deluxe cabanas around the Azul Pool. Popop-based artists Sue Katz and Margot Bethel displayed their work.
Artists Petition To Remove Duties On Art Supplies
Years ago, the late Brent Malone often called upon the Bahamian government to reevaluate the 45% duty on imported art supplies.
Since then, musicians, Junkanoo artists and even printing companies have received concessions or had the duty removed completely to continue doing the work they love and which contribute to the cultural development of The Bahamas.
Bahamian Art & Culture: Heino Schmid
“The context of much of my work is concerned with narrative and the reconsideration of personal stories in the public forum. Using a variety of media such as video, drawing, installation and photography, I investigate the often simple, sometimes irrelevant encounters and collisions between people and their environments.”
Kendal Hanna Themed Events At The NAGB
In keeping with the theme of the Kendal Hanna Restrospective Exhibition, “Happy Birthday to Me,” now on at the NAGB, the Gallery is hosting two events – On Friday, a documentary film which delves into the relationship between the mind and the creation of art entitled “Crazy Art” and on Saturday, an Art Workshop entitled “In the Likeness” moderated by artist Toby Lunn.
Heino’s Show Opens
In Heino Schmid’s new collection of work, “we’re all innocent when we dream”, this duality between asleep and awake, peace and tension and right and wrong comes to the surface.
“I want a visual duplicity in the way that you can scope out the exhibition and take it in as a whole but somehow make the work engaging enough for people to also go in and really participate on an individual level with the work.”
What Dreams May Come
Though Hamlet here is concerned with death, the same can be thought of about our nightly exits into our subconscious. Just as there may be no peace after death, there may be no peace in sleep—or perhaps peace for only a short while, for our lives with all of their imperfections exist when we wake again.
In Heino Schmid’s new collection of work, “we’re all innocent when we dream”, which will open to the public Friday night at the Cube West Gallery, this duality between asleep and awake, peace and tension and right and wrong comes to the surface.
