Museo de Arte de El Salvador (MARTE)
MARTE Contemporáneo
Presents:
OPTIC NERVE
July 1st through August 29th, 2010
Optic Nerve is a very popular festival organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami -
MOCA. This annual event presents videos and short films created by some of the most innovative and emerging artists from the South Florida area, which are selected through an open call for proposals. These proposals are, then, reviewed by a jury of professionals specialized in art and films; the selected videos are displayed, each year, at this museum. One of the videos presented in each issue is acquired by the MOCA, for its permanent collection, through funds provided by the coffee company Starbucks.
In this sample of our MARTE Contemporary program, and thanks to the collaboration of the MOCA, the works of the following artists were shown: Towbridge Kyle, Jiae Hwang, Phillip Estlund, Jen Stark and TM Sisters (Natasha and Monica Lopez de Victoria). Their videos were selected for 2005 and 2009 Optic Nerve issues.

You can of course always decorate your home with flowers that don't grow, or wilt either. These were painted by master painters of the past, in Western art history. I found a "garden" full of these flowers at wahooart.com, a company that makes excellent canvas prints, and even hand-painted replicas in oil paint on canvas, from digital images in their large archive for you to choose from.
I ordered this one online from wahooart.com, http://en.wahooart.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8LJ5JY , called Flowers by Jan Brueghel the Elder, a Flemish painter of the 16th century, as a present for my dear sister for her birthday, that she now has proudly hanging in her living room. She loves tulips and actually has those growing in the garden now, not far from the framed canvas print.
She said the print adds "timelessness" to the atmosphere of her living space. That's true, because that beautiful vase of flowers has now stood for 600 years.
