Garcetti's photos capture the building's daring architectural character in skeletal form and the sculptural vision that exemplifies [Frank Gehry]'s recent work. In particular a grouping of five large vertical photos at the back of the exhibition space dramatically capture the finished building's bold, sweeping forms and undulating surfaces that have become Gehry's trademark. (Garcetti returned after the building's completion to shoot a series of these panoramic photos.) Yet mis show's great strength and real interest is the personal focus it places on some of the unsung heroes of the enterprise: building trade subcontractors who must synchronize their efforts to realize such a complicated building.
To give you a better idea of what you can expect from [Elizabeth James]' work, we lifted this little bit from her artist's statement (with her permission, of course): "My forms are multipfe assemblages that combine contrasting clay bodies, glazes and surfaces that are not direct representations of this environment but rather borrowed elements or essences. I introduce materials that typically would not be found in clay to create textures that represent nature and juxtapose the btomorphic organic forms with porcelain vessels that signify our human condition. Sensuous surfaces, muted colors, and fluid forms create a quiet relationship meant to entice the audience both visually and physically. For "Story Quilts and Children's Books," the internationally known African-American artist will d...
Seton Village makeover The new home of the Academy for the Love of Learning is taking shape in Seton Village, south of Santa Fe. The nonprofit educational organization, working with Spears Architects, first thought of using rammed-earth technology for its Academy Center walls but later settled on insulating concrete forms. The center sports a contemporary design featuring sharp corners, a barrel roof, a wraparound cable balcony, and big glass surfaces formed by massive sliding doors.
A full week between shows will allow for less hectic and more considered installation of the revolving shows. A corner of the gallery has been dubbed the "Wild Card" area, reserved for "breaking all our own rules," in the words of Courtney Rile, marketing and public relations coordinator for the [Bill Delavan]. Unusual artwork, emerging artists, anything that strikes their fancy will appear there. The Wild Card shows will change twice during each main exhibition, rewarding frequent visitors. One idea came directly from Rile's summertime experience at her Contemporary Gallery: a comfortable, well-lit nook with a leather loveseat, plush papasan, Persian rug and bookcase. Dexter Benedict and Donald S. Sottile also work closely together: Both cast their works at Benedict's Fire Works Foundr...

Memento mori loosely translates from Latin into "remember you are mortal." The phrase has spawned centuries of skull and funerary-urn images in still-life paintings, friezes, even New England needlepoints. [Tony Moore]'s "Thou," a 36-by-22-inch gravestone form that is about 3 inches thick, firmly fits into that genre. The word "THOU" is inscribed on this ceramic headstone, recalling Ebenezer Scrooges tombstone as revealed by the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in "A Christmas Carol." Moore also pressed a handprint at lower left, and several leaf forms onto the sculptures red and black-singed, wood-fired surfaces. "Thou" sits on a wall-mounted shelf. Its face is smoothed, but the gravestone's edges appear as rough as coarsely graveled concrete. Moore often mixes pebbles and grit into his ...
The entry courtyard Deb Auten designed for artist Diane Arenberg is a stunner. The flagstone walkway through the long, narrow passage, which reflects the rincon canons at Chaco Canyon National Historical Park, proceeds through the center of a curvy pond funded by a 10,000-gallon rainwater cistern. The dramatic feature is accentuated by triangular house elements that jut into the courtyard like rock eruptions in the sides of a canyon. After walking through this narrow, tall space, in which your eyes are directed up to the sky, the front door opens onto a Tunisian mosaic and, straight ahead, a wall of eight-foot-tall sliding glass doors to the patio and the outdoors beyond. Exterior highlights include wonderful, rounded wall forms with surfaces alternately stucco and irregular-edged stack...

By Tara Somerville Like escapees from a petri dish, several wiry tailed plastic blobs seem to slither towards the floor. Around them is a sea of similar forms connecting to one another and the space around them. Sheer, reflective surfaces with hints of color seem to stretch the parameters of the room.

The cold air will continue today across the state before winds turn back to the southwest and begin a warm-up for Wednesday. Although the temperatures will swing upward tonight, the warmest we can hope for on Wednesday is the low-40s. Colder air will move right back in on Thursday. Intense bursts of snow showers across southeast Wisconsin on Monday dropped little in the way of accumulating snow but enough moisture to cause some traffic headaches. The light snow melted on contact but immediately froze on overpasses, where air flowed underneath and kept the road surfaces below freezing. When thin, transparent ice forms on road surfaces, it is generally referred to as black ice or clear ice. While the ice is not truly black, it is transparent, allowing the usual black asphalt roadway to be...
