The People’s Art: Ideat Village gallery opens its walls to, well, everyone. New Haven Advocate July 6, 2008 -Jacob Cohn

“This out-of-the-way space just off the Green resembles a bizarre combination of a legit art gallery and the backyard of a worryingly creative junk dealer. It contains somewhat conventional paintings, metal and wooden sculptures and seemingly random bric-a-brac, all assembled around the room in a strange semblance of order. It’s the ultimate public art.

“Ideat Village is presenting the ‘free, unjuried, uncensored’ Orbit Art Gallery through June 28.”

Underture: Some big events were a literal wash-out, but Arts & Ideas’ spirits couldn’t be dampened. -June 24, 2008- New Haven Advocate- Christopher Arnott

“This year’s festival has shown how progressive, industrious, profitable, practical and socially minded the arts can be. Very little of the fest could be said to be empty entertainment. Even the elements that were set in stone, brought in from existing tours or theaters, commented on raging national debates.”

Via SCSU: Join us Wednesday, May 14, 2008 , 1:00 p.m, to discuss and share ideas about green libraries and campuses.

Conveners:

Mary Carr, Dean Instructional Services, Spokane Community College

Dr. Debra Rowe, President of the US Partnership for a Sustainable Future

From a library/librarians’ perspective, how are our library resources when it comes to sustainability? Are we supporting the college’s curricular efforts? What about the “greening” of the library and the campus? Can we practice sustainability? Can we promote it by speakers, presentations, etc.? What can we do within our library associations, and other professional groups?

Artspace exhibit a bit unsettled, but reorganized space has fun finds By Judy Birke New Haven Register 2/17/08

“In the wake of a new administration, there have been some changes in the gallery. There are now seven exhibition spaces, each simultaneously hosting an individual show. Gallery One is the major area. It hosts the larger shows, while Galleries 2-7 offer smaller displays dedicated to solo exhibits. All in all, it becomes a great opportunity to see what’s happening in the studios of many of today’s artists.

“The current exhibit in Gallery One, ‘Unnameable Things’ is a group show of 17 pieces by seven artists, all working in New York City, four of whom got their MFA degrees at Yale. It is curated by Clint Jukkala.”

“The event was designed as a networking opportunity to bring together young professionals, graduate students, and business people and expose them to arts in New Haven. Griffith said that there’s less of a need for events like Artspot now than there was in 2001.”

“Chip Kidd designs some six dozen books a year. Some, he also edits. Occasionally, he even writes one. It’s been seven years since Kidd’s first novel, The Cheese Monkeys. Its sequel, The Learners—The Book After The Cheese Monkeys is the reason for his two stops in New Haven next Wednesday.”
