"Monochromes, from Malevich to the Present," recently on view at the Museo National Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, was described by its curator, Barbara Rose, as the first historically oriented museum exhibition conceived and presented entirely as a unitary installation. The 90 paintings and sculptures, which spanned the last 100 years and included works by 78 artists from North and South America, Western and Eastern Europe "and Asia, were grouped in six distinct contiguous "chromatic spaces" according to their predominant color, in an itinerary which began with black, moved through red, blue, gold and silver, before ending with white. In a small adjacent gallery were several paintings tracing a brief chronology of historical antecedents. These included Monet's Effet de neige a Giverny (1893), an early (1906-08) Monet-influenced landscape by Malevich, Rodchenko's three iconic monochromes from 1921, as well as works by Lucio Fontana, Hans Arp and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.catalog just released in october

remodeled dream home
via zoller
We skipped the light fandango
turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
but the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
as the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
the waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
as the miller told his tale
that her face, at first just ghostly,
turned a whiter shade of pale
She said, 'There is no reason
and the truth is plain to see.'
But I wandered through my playing cards
and would not let her be
one of sixteen vestal virgins
who were leaving for the coast
and although my eyes were open
they might have just as well've been closed
She said, 'I'm home on shore leave,'
though in truth we were at sea
so I took her by the looking glass
and forced her to agree
saying, 'You must be the mermaid
who took Neptune for a ride.'
But she smiled at me so sadly
that my anger straightway died
If music be the food of love
then laughter is its queen
and likewise if behind is in front
then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
and attacked the ocean bed
curbed found a corbu lobby chair heist
