San Francisco designers, artists, cyclists: ARTCRANK headed to Bay Area for Bike Poster Art Show
If you’re an entrepreneur (or ever had daydreams during death-by-boredom conference meetings of becoming one) you’re familiar with the process of trying to come up with “the big idea.” It ain’t easy, to say the least: researching, brainstorming, sleepless nights, feeling like your banging your head against a brick wall, headaches (from actually banging your head against a brick wall), more sleepless nights (from uncomfortable bandages wrapped around now bruised head). Then, finally, at 4:23am as you lay in bed ready to strangle the 1,099th sheep you’ve counted – the idea finally comes!

San Jose Museum Exhibits Chuck Close
San Jose Museum of Art will run an exhibition of works by Chuck Close from Tuesday, October 6, 2009 through Sunday, January 10, 2010.
Chuck Close has revolutionized both contemporary portraiture and printmaking. Close made his first print as a professional artist in 1972 and printmaking soon became an important and most fruitful, experimental aspect of his artistic endeavor. His innovation in printmaking is now legend.
Close was particularly concerned that his prints not simply be smaller versions of his paintings, but rather that printmaking open up an additional arena of investigation that would require him to engage in image-making in completely different ways.
In addition to including finished prints, this exhibition features full suites of Close’s preliminary proofs and various states of editions. Also on view will be the woodblocks and etching plates for several of the more complex images he has created.
The exhibition is no less than a stellar investigation into the mechanics of perception and virtuoso artistic process. It premiered at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York: the San Jose Museum of Art is the only northern California venue.
The picture shows Phil Spitbite, 1995 Spitbite etching 28 x 20" Edition 60 ?Spring Street Workshop, New York, printer (Bill Hall, Julia D’Amario, Ruth Lingen, Pam Cooper) Pace Editions, Inc., New York, publisher. -- www.sjmusart.org
