Creativity & Diversity— Founder and director of 32 Fine Arts Gallery, Brigitte St. Ouen (pronounced san twon) is dynamic and decisive. Ms. St. Ouen chose Chromatic Sequence No. 11, The Mystery before Time by New York artist, Michael Price, to begin the month. During the selection process, she offered little commentary. She was surprised at the diversity and creativity of the artists, and would have liked to see more sculpture.

Barebrush curators are allowed to select work previously chosen because multiple validations by diverse curators are a benefit. However, two popular artworks will be “retired,” having now been in three calendars: Sarah in Red by Jean Marcellino and Shammi by William Jobling. It is a goal of Barebrush to show a good variety of new work in each calendar. As a tribute to Ms. St. Ouen’s unique vision, October 2010 is the calendar debut for twenty-four artworks. Five Barebrush artists are making their calendar debut: Michael Price, Bill Foote, Geoffrey Stein, Janet E. Gorman and Robert Goldsworthy.

Barebrush founder, Ilene Skeen, also noted “I tried to grasp the theme of Brigitte’s selections, and discovered it when sequencing the art for placement into the calendar. Each image practically jumped into its appointed day, making this one of the easiest calendars to assemble. My conclusion is that presenting a group show is a matter of selecting excellent and diverse artworks which complement and each other and show well together.”

The 31 artists represented in October, 2010, in day order are: 1* Michael Price, 2 Donelli J. DiMaria, 3 Jean Marcellino, 4 Kelly Croisdale, 5* Roger Cummiskey, 6 Dan McCormack, 7 Bill Foote, 8 Penelope Przekop, 9 Anthony Gordon, 10 Tina Johnston, 11 Guadalupe Herrera, 12 Geoffrey Stein, 13* Kasper Holten, 14 Joseph Mays, 15 Lucinda Luvaas, 16 Peter King, 17 Merrill Brace, 18 Emily Stedman, 19 Tai Lin, 20 Kathy Ostman-Magnusen, 21 Michael Seif, 22* Janet E Gorman, 23 Adrienne Mills, 24 Bill Teitsworth, NWS, 25* Guenter Knop, 26 kimberly berg, 27 Christopher Smith, 28 William Jobling, 29 Robert Goldsworthy, 30 Robert Nizamov, 31 Ilene Skeen.

Five artists, indicated by asterisks (*), are nominated for the Curators Choice Awards.

MÁLAGA, CRISOL DE NACIONALIDADES: UNO DE LOS PUNTOS CLAVES PARA EL 2016

La Fundación Málaga Cultural refuerza lazos con la comunidad extranjera residente en Málaga.

Los responsables de la Fundación Málaga Ciudad Cultural se reunieron ayer con los representantes de más de 30 grupos internacionales residentes en Málaga para reforzar su potencial como «embajadores» de Málaga. Sin duda, el crisol de nacionalidades que conviven en la provincia es una de las grandes riquezas culturales con las que cuenta la candidatura malagueña para ser Capital Europea de la Cultura en 2016.

Al acto, celebrado en el Rectorado de la Universidad de Málaga, acudieron el alcalde, Francisco de la Torre, el presidente y el gerente de la Fundación Málaga Cultural, Juan López Cohard y Javier Ferrer; y la vicerrectora de Cultura de la UMA, María Isabel Calero. El examen de la candidatura malagueña en Madrid, el próximo 28 de septiembre, parece tener nerviosos a todos los responsables del proyecto. De hecho, minutos antes del acto de ayer, la vicerrectora de Cultura de la UMA inició una acalorada discusión con Francisco de la Torre y López Cohard al respecto de la comitiva malagueña que viajará a Madrid.

El apoyo internacional que se le brinda a Málaga 2016 crece a pasos de gigantes. Muestra de ello es el interés que ponen, día a día, el grupo de voluntarios internaciones que trabajan con distintas asociaciones de extranjeros residentes en la Costa del Sol. Su misión no es otra que la de promocionar a Málaga como candidata cultural europea, y no les falta ni el interés, ni el empeño, ni las ganas para conseguirlo, ya que se han involucrado totalmente en todo lo que respecta a Málaga 2016.

Convenios

La candidatura malagueña cuenta con diversos convenios y apoyos con distintas asociaciones de carácter internacional, como son la Asociación Holandesa Parasol; el Grupo Internacional de Artistas de Andalucía; el periódico holandés Costanews; Collegium Musicum Costa del Sol; coro y orquestra con representantes de 17 países y NADFAS Decorative and Fine Arts Society. Además, fruto de esta última colaboración, Málaga 2016 fue invitada a estar presente en el Festival Internacional de Arte de Marbella.

This week I finished or almost finished and messed up a small painting that has just turned out in my opinion to be probably the worst painting I have ever done.

I finished it, was unhappy with it, went back to try to make something of it, messed it up further.

I was going to paint on the back of the paper or tear it up. I am not sure what to do just yet. I will take a photo of it tomorrow and then put it on here and wait for reactions.

I have not finished making changes. As I do I will put a photo of the changes here!
