They explore the distinctions of his experience as a child in Ghana and as an adult navigating the complex social dynamics within the African American community. Freeman employs a literary approach to painting, ... More

Six new commissions and interventions embrace an expanded definition of time-based art BERLIN.- The group exhibition “After Images” at JSF Berlin proposes a recalibration of our relationship to contemporary image culture. The exhibition departs from the image based practices like film and video for which the Julia Stoschek Foundation is best known, expanding the visual toward the haptic and multisensorial, and moving from the space of the screen to the embodied and experiential path of the viewer. “After Images” is curated by Lisa Long, Artistic Director, with support from Line Ajan, Assistant Curator, and Josefin Granetoft, Curatorial Assistant. Predominant systems of knowledge have elevated sight above the other senses, despite how seeing is constituted from an amalgam of sensory feedback from the entire body. To question this hierarchy of sight above the other senses, “After Images” gathers works that classify ... More

On a day like today, Italian painter Domenico Zampieri was born
October 21, 1581. Domenico Zampieri (or Domenichino; October 21, 1581 - April 6, 1641) was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese School, or Carracci School, of painters. Domenichino's work, developed principally from Raphael's and the Carracci's examples, mirrors the theoretical ideas of G. B. Agucchi, with whom the painter collaborated on a Treatise on Painting (Domenichino's portrait of Agucchi in York occasionally has been attributed to Annibale Carracci). In this image: Apparition of the Virgin and Child and San Gennaro at the Miraculous Oil Lamp, 1637-38, Cathedral of Naples.
