Sara Cwynar
Soft Film
MMK 1 Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main, Germany
September 29 - November 5, 2017

Sara Cwynar is the recipient of the 18th Baloise Art Prize. In a manner as entertaining as it is complex, her work Soft Film (2016) explores fundamental aspects of photography, its production and its dissemination in digital and analogue systems. The film features other people's discarded objects, purchased by the artist on eBay, as well as photographs she has acquired in a second-hand shop, all of which she collects, organizes and archives according to colour, material and content. The work also addresses topics of relevance to society, for example the circulation and value of objects or feminist themes, as well as the meaning of personal and historical occurrences.

For more information about the exhibition please visit MMK 1 Museum für Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt am Main.

Life is Very Funny!!! Long Ago and Far away I attended the Red Cross Ball hosted by Prince Albert 11 of Monaco in Monte-Carlo at the invitation of Nall Hollis.

Life is Very Funny!!! Long Ago and Far away I attended the Red Cross Ball hosted by Prince Albert 11 of Monaco in Monte-Carlo at the invitation of Nall Hollis.


Nall Hollis on the center and Chip Cooper with a camera in hand
looking out over Monte Carlo


As it would happen, today back to back I  posted below releases from Nall Hollis to announce the opening of the Nall museum on Oct 7th. and Prince Albert of Monaco's environmental for sustainability Gala and auction, the 28th by Purdy auctions.  Pics below show some of the events during that trip I made to Nall's art events and the Red Cross Ball. I am the brunette of twenty years ago. Other than the fabulous Nall himself and photographer par excellence Chip Cooper forgive me I don't recall the names of my traveling buddies. 

The is a reason to a-lite the aforementioned is Prince Albert has lent his considerable weight and those of celebrities to advance environmental causes. The inaugural "Monte Carlo Gala for the Global Ocean" will honor Leonardo DiCaprio for his outstanding actions for the preservation of our Planet. Uma Thurman, Goldie Hawn, Andy Garcia, Kevin Spacey, Eva Longoria, Madonna, Joe Pesci, Martin Scorsese, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tobey Maguire, Enric Sala and Terry Tamminen are the Event Chairs, confirming their commitment to this important cause.

The coincident shared this post to highlight my own involvement in championing environmental issues. See the link to " Artists for Peace and the Environment" hosted by Michael Lang at Woodstock '99.
