All Art Friday Spotlights
✦ Don't miss Kazaan Viveiros's new Narratives series. As always, terrific work. Viveiros recently completed six large commissioned paintings for the Federal Reserve Bank, increasing to 12 the number of her works now in the bank's permanent collection. Congratulations, Kazaan!
✦ The drawings of Emanuele Kabu of Italy reward a close look. Kabu also is a painter, muralist (see his Walls series), musician/sound artist, and animator. (My thanks to friend Hannah Stephenson for the link to Kabu's site.)
✦ Keep current about new artbook releases via ArtBook blog and Yale @RTbooks blog.
✦ Read Carl Belz's wonderful article on "Dozier Bell's Drawings" and then visit Dozier Bell's Website. Gorgeous work. Making things, Bell says in this interview, is "a natural impulse"; she keeps it fueled with "a supply of dark chocolate".
✦ Today's video is an introduction to the solo exhibition "Embassy", showcasing the work of Aboriginal artist Richard Bell, at the 2014 Perth Festival in Western Australia.
