I am very much looking forward to seeing Angels of Anarchy http://bit.ly/W8SBK , Manchester Art Gallery's exhibition on Women artists role in the surrealism movement, Lee Miller, hands down my favourite surrealist gal had a fascinating later career as a war photographer with vogue before she slipped into obscurity with post traumatic stress syndrome as boozy wife and mother on a sussex farm
This photograph is part of a collection taken after Germany surrendered, I heartily recommend the book Lee Miller's War http://bit.ly/yOFzd featuring clinical portraits of Nazi suicides and reviled young Parisian girls who had been a little too nice to the occupants, hair shorn being paraded through the streets.
IDENTITY ::
A large-scale public art project featuring sculpture and video elements designed as an interactive installation serving to reflect and question concepts of self, perception, and community. The statistical information incorporated into the project was obtained from the United States Census Bureau. Many questions were raised as to the accuracy and definition used to describe race and ethnicity.(IDENTITY is an ongoing project)

It’s a nice little presentation/talk on creative mischief – Love it! I can also say it’s inspiring, but that will probably get me into trouble. Via: Youtube
