Yves Klein’s Untitled Anthropometry (ANT 100) (1960), from the Hirshhorn’s collection.
Yves Klein is getting a retrospective at the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington, D.C., running from February 11, 2010 to May 23, 2010.
Yves Klein’s work has had a profound and spiritual impact on me. His use of color and negatives as an emotional gateway is so beautiful. Yes!
So I guess in 2007 Kelly Rowland filmed her music video “Work” on a set that suspiciously looked a lot like a Dan Flavin installation. Turns out the video was filmed in Los Angeles, when Dan Flavin: A Retrospective was on tour at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The Dan Flavin Estate didn’t think the video was too cute, demanding that it be pulled from YouTube. It’s still there, but now you just can’t embed it, which doesn’t actually stop anyone from finding embeddable links from obscure French websites. ArtNet reported about it here
Dr. Oliver Sacks was on TV the other day discussing how different parts of the brain are stimulated via different sensory experiences. This PBS documentary looks at the way music affects the brain.
