Best known for his black and white work Harry Callahan was one of the first artists to really turn my head in terms of what a photograph could say. His design and composition awareness is legendary. Just gaze at the tension he creates via the gutter and telephone pole in a rare color image below. One inch to the left or right and the composition would fall into utter banality but Callahan knows the secret sauce to making an empty street sing.

The Venice Biennale or La Biennale as it is better known in Italy opens today June 1, 2013.
55th International Art Exhibition: The Encyclopedic Palace
1st June > 24th November 2013
The title chosen by curator Massimiliano Gioni for the 55th International Art Exhibition is Il Palazzo Enciclopedico / The Encyclopedic Palace. Massimiliano Gioni introduced the choice of theme evoking the Italo-American self-taught artist Marino Auriti who “on November 16, 1955 filed a design with the US Patent office depicting his Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace), an imaginary museum that was meant to house all worldly knowledge, bringing together the greatest discoveries of the human race, from the wheel to the satellite. Auriti’s plan was never carried out, of course, but the dream of universal, all-embracing knowledge crops up throughout history, as one that eccentrics like Auriti share with many other artists, writers, scientists, and prophets who have tried – often in vain – to fashion an image of the world that will capture its infinite variety and richness.”

Art Basel is the king of all art fairs and big art follows Big Money. Because of the recession Europe is running out of Big Money so Art Basel is now expanding to Hong Kong so for the fist time one can check out lots of Asian galleries at this colossal fair.
If you can’t jump in your private jet to whisk over to Asia the folks at artsy.net are happy to give you a preview. Or jump over to the Art Basel web site for an online catalog. The fair is divided into 4 Sectors: Galleries, Insights, Discoveries & Encounters.
Art Basel Hong Kong: May 23–26, 2013
Welcome to the newest Art Basel show. With half of the participating galleries coming from Asia and Asia-Pacific, Art Basel in Hong Kong assumes a significant role in the international artworld, providing a portal to the region’s artists. The new show gives galleries from around the world a platform in Asia to demonstrate the way they work with artists, and bring their highest quality work to Hong Kong.
Yes you will see “art” that will most likely just make you laugh (and not pull out your wallet)

But as in all art fairs you have to look for the jewels. Great art takes the ordinary and makes it extraordinary; like Ichwan Noor’s Beetle Sphere.

Every three years, ICP’s curators round up some of the most interesting contemporary photography and video works from around the world. The 2013 Triennial, A Different Kind of Order, focuses on artworks created in our current moment of widespread economic, social, and political instability. The exhibition will include 28 international artists who employ photography, film, video, and interactive media. Many of their works reflect the growing importance of new paradigms associated with digital image making and network culture. A Different Kind of Order is organized by Kristen Lubben, Christopher Phillips, Carol Squiers, and Joanna Lehan.
