All Things Art & Photography
All about time, memory and the power of snapshots in our lives Dear Photograph has taken one simple idea and made it into an anonymous, crowd sourced art collective of staggering implications regarding being human and our fleeting time on earth.
Hands down one of the most interesting web sites out there.

Maybe the most important exhibitions of this decade. James Turrell is the master of creating exquisite and ethereal beauty out of pure ambient light. Legend has it that his installation at the Stedelijk Museum dropped people to their knees. These are extremely rare and complicated works. You best run (don’t walk) to these once in a lifetime events.
James Turrell: A Retrospective explores nearly fifty years in the career of James Turrell (b. 1943, Los Angeles), a key artist in the Southern California Light and Space movement of the 1960s and 70s. The exhibition includes early geometric light projections, prints and drawings, installations exploring sensory deprivation and seemingly unmodulated fields of colored light, and recent two-dimensional work with holograms. One section is devoted to the Turrell masterwork in process, Roden Crater, a site-specific intervention into the landscape just outside Flagstaff, Arizona, which will be presented through models, plans, photographs, and films.

Art Cologne, April 19 – April 22 and Art Brussels, April 18 – 21 April go head to head this month. Why? It’s yet another mystery of the wonderful world of Art. Have to choose? Art Cologne is the bigger of the two. (And has pretty good beer). Bicycles rule in the great city of Köln so beware of large Germans riding bikes.

At only 18 Lidia Roberts is going to be one to watch if she keeps up this extremely raw yet masterful work that is way beyond her years. She is an old soul or possibly Helmut Newton & Man Ray jointly reincarnated.
