Bright swirling colors, intricately interwoven lines morphing into sleek harmonius forms - the mesmerizing kaleidescopic images of Rochester, New York-based multi-talent Andy Gilmore have a futuristic, almost alien feel to them. His designs transcend straight-forward aesthetic beauty, their forms inhabiting a realm of mathematical complexity, containing a certain geometric musicality.
Andy Gilmore is also a musician. Deeply interested in the physics of sound and acoustics, his work reflects just that. In these pieces, Gilmore explores the physical properties of tone - the resonance of a single string creating a range of vibrations and sound waves, both audible and inaudible - and mirrors that relationship visually, producing complex images with overtones swimming through undertones, melodies dancing with accompaniment.
Composed primarily of bold and bright colors on black backgrounds, Gilmore's hypnotic forms seem to hover like spacecrafts - out-of-this-world figures of elaborate and sophisticated design. More than a participant in the rising trend of digital art, Andy Gilmore is an innovator, dreaming up works that, without computers, could not exist.
Andy Gilmore currently lives and works in Rochester, New York. His graphic design clients include: The New York Times, Dazed & Confused Magazine, Wire Magazine, and many more.
B96 present celebrated hip hop emcee K’NAAN on Wednesday July 8, 2009. K’NAAN successfully blends samples and live instrumentation for a sound that’s both rooted in traditional African melodies and the classic hip-hop tradition. Growing up in war-torn Somalia, K'NAAN has seen more gun violence and tougher streets than your average gangster rapper could ever imagine, yet he chooses to use his experience to spread peace with his eloquent and thought-provoking lyrics.
K’NAAN’s newest album, Troubadour, represents the sum of these experiences and more. Having spent the better part of the last two years traveling the world, taking his message directly to the people , soaking in everything from Bob Dylan to Fela Kuti to and Mos Def , Troubadour is the sonic document of an artist who has a lot to share, but clearly has a lot more in the coming years. For anyone who’s said that hip-hop has nothing left to say, Troubadour proves that it all depends on where you look.

June 26, 2009 until August 17, 2009 // Linda Warren Gallery // Chicago, IL
The gallery is excited to kick off summer with an exhibition of recent work by Alex O’Neal - his second solo show at Linda Warren Gallery. The exhibition runs from June 26 through August 17, 2009. The artist’s continuing life experiences and fascinations continue to inform paintings and elaborate oil pastel drawings in which a world full of eccentric, dynamic characters compete, even scream, for attention. Though their origins emanate from prior work – and the artist’s upbringing in the Mississippi Delta - they have developed a definitive, unabashed dress code of glam rock/punk rock/drag - accompanied by all the paraphernalia needed to make such a loud and dramatic fashion statement.
Working in the vein of Southern Gothic, O’Neal puts ostracized individuals, superstars, and superheroes center stage in his narratives to address a cacophony of ideas surrounding disguise, dysfunction, secrecy, anarchy, community, religious fervor, power, struggle, nature, “homegrown terrorism”, hope, passion and inspiration. O’Neal believes that the newest work “speaks more personally and specifically, referring more to the dysfunctional family unit” saying he, “in a way, is Pop-Artizing a small dysfunctional community, that…has its resident anarchists and terrorists, veiled in disguises…ready to drop their trademark bombs at family gatherings”.
Alex O’Neal received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design in 1979 and his MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1985. He has been the recipient of many fellowships and awards, including from the Guggenheim Foundation in 1999, New York Foundation for the Arts in 2001, and National Endowment for the Arts 1987-1988. His work has been exhibited in museums and galleries both here and abroad, and can be found in many prestigious private collections around the globe. Although he currently lives and works in Brooklyn, Artist Residency programs continue to play a big part in the development of O’Neal’s visual language, as he has enjoyed over a dozen of such experiences throughout the United States and Europe in the past 15 years.

June 14, 2009 until October 25, 2009 // Oceanside Museum of Art // Oceanside, CA
Oceanside Museum of Art is embarking on a series of special programs inspired by the art in the coming exhibition, FABRIC OF SURVIVAL: The Art of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz, that opened on June 14, 2009 and runs through October 25, 2009. Esther Nisenthal Krinitz was a teenager in rural Poland when the Nazis invaded her quiet village changing her life forever. Separated from their family, young Esther and her sister survived the Holocaust pretending to be Polish Catholics, eventually coming to America after the war. Several programs are planned throughout the exhibition that celebrate Jewish culture and honor Holocaust memories.
In New York, Esther began her life as Mrs. Max Krinitz, and continued the sewing and embroidery she learned as a child. She was an avid storyteller and throughout their lives, shared with her daughters the story of her harrowing days as a youth in Nazi occupied Poland. A gifted seamstress, Esther decided, at age 50, to tell her story in cloth, stitching thirty-six beautiful and poignant appliqué and embroidered panels which comprise the exhibition, FABRIC OF SURVIVAL: The Art of Esther Nisenthal Krinitz.
On June 28, 2009 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Mrs. Krinitz’ daughters, Bernice Steinhardt and Helene McQuade will present a slide lecture at the museum as co-founders of the nonprofit organization Art and Remembrance. The purpose of Art and Remembrance is to use the power of storytelling and art to illuminate the effects of war, intolerance, and social injustice. The exhibition also features a 13-minute video with Mrs. Krinitz by award-winning director, Lawrence Kasdan.
