The Invisible Man

Liu Bolin - Brave and brilliant Chinese artist and activist. He paints himself into existing scenes in response to feeling like a social outcast, and to protest the Chinese Government shutting down his art studio in 2005. Artists have become a threat. Yu Gallery is hosting an extraordinary one man show of his in Paris through October.

YAC is proud to announce the opening of 

a fabulous new experimental art center in Charlottesville, 

Virginia by one of our illustrious YACalums, Jaymee Martin. 

For an unusually good time, visit her blog 

and website. It's apt to get you thinking. 

Which is a good thing. 

Ennio Marchetto

Do yourself a HUGE favor and spend five minutes with this extraordinarily talented lunatic.

Then go to his website: 

Home Of The One-Man-Living-Cartoon-Factory. Ennio is a world renowned theatrical comedian who uses mime, dance, music, and quick change costumes of painted cardboard. He's in a category of his very own.

The study of Art History catches up to the 21st Century! This site is a must for students, teachers, anyone interested in the history of art. Harris and Zucker's use of video and audio podcasts turns the notoriously dry study into a more conversational, knowledgeable, entertaining, and provocative learning experience. Seriously. Go to this site.

If you don't Already Know This Artist...

Get to know Brad Holland  He has been a giant in the illustration world and his influence is evident throughout. He taught at School Of Visual Arts in NY, and is an author as well as a major advocate for the rights of artists. Holland's art and website are remarkable.

TCM is a Belgium Contemporary Art Gallery situated in Kortrijk. The Owners are Michael Meert and Lieve Vercaemer. The Gallery has only been around for about a year now but has had some very interesting exhibitions and is becoming a small well known gem throughout the area. The website has slide shows of all the current and past exhibitions that change roughly every two months. The gallery has had shows with artists spanning from all over Europe to a few in Australia and even North America. The art, as implied is contemporary which in case you didn't know means current or actual. I highly suggest you go and check it out as it can easily broaden one's perspective on art today.

Due to lack of information on the art itself in the gallery, I will be posting a video soon that will go through the first show B-Line. Seeing as how I was there and helped set it up and make stuff I should be able to explain everything the way the artists meant for it be told. Anyone at YAC can go ahead and ask me about the art in person but for the people who don't go to YAC will have to wait for the video. Thanks for the consideration!
