It surveys Constable’s posthumous international celebrity as a precursor of the Impressionists, or even a prophet of photography (the daguerreotype was invented 2 years after his death). Ironically, reverence for the old masters seems to have...

His work can be described as a collision of Iron Maiden metal ballads with the outrageous stage antics of Ozzy Osbourne. His work is serious, yet attempts to take on a B-movie horror film style, where even the beasts of metal need a warm blanket to sleep with.

It surveys Constable’s posthumous international celebrity as a precursor of the Impressionists, or even a prophet of photography (the daguerreotype was invented 2 years after his death). Ironically, reverence for the old masters seems to have...

      I can't wait for Mister Hazelwood's new record. So I sure wish I could be there. Unfortunately the Frist Center for the Visual Arts is an 9 hr drive. Damn!

      Having seen one of the pieces from this exhibit online, a good friend and I took our daughters (ages 2 and 7) to the Frist as a must see. I have a personal affinity for the mechanical that I developed very early in life and the U-ram Choe exhibit had me standing in awe with the same wide eyes of my seven year old little girl. As the two of us stood in the low and elegant lighting I marveled with her as the room came to life with the blossoming of flowers of light. Wow. We made our way to the next room where she made her own suggestion for another combination. Daddy liked that. As we stood in the final room before a massive wall mounted creation, I couldn't help but feel like a kid again. The group of us stood silent as this art performed and illuminated the room. I highly recommend this showing for anyone of any age...it was truly amazing! Collapse

      John Danley is one of the most incredible fingerstyle guitarists around, who should be a household name. Don't miss this show ... you're in for a treat!
