It’s something we all have to deal with on some level; right? Well I want to make sure that I share this event – which I’ll, unfortunately, have to miss due to the above listed set of cascading events – with all of you who are within driving distance of Seattle. But in doing so, I hope that it might be a little bit of a spark for those of you who are not. Next weekend, the 18th & 19th, the Multiple Sclerosis Center of Swedish Neuroscience Institute, in association with the Bellevue Arts Museum, is presenting their second annu...

We forget that women are also underrepresented in more non-traditional workplaces, like the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Half of the trained artists in the U.S. are women, yet they make up just 2% of the artists whose work hangs in the National Gallery. And, as Salon points out, this isn’t just a problem rooted in historical gender issues – at the contemporary art-focused Hirshhorn Museum, women make up only 5% of featured artists. Pamela T. Boll examines this disparity and its causes in her documentary Who Does She Think She Is? Though the film was released in ...

If the object is moving you’ll need less pixels or resolution. A man runs. He falls down. He struggles back onto his feet and he runs some more. It’s a simple narrative. Even without much detail, you can understand what’s going on. Pause the video, though, and the scene isn’t nearly as clear. Movement makes up for the lack of other visual information. Your brain can read and understand a video at much lower resolution than it would need to make equal sense of a still frame. Meet Jim Campbell, a former Silicon Valley engineer turned visual artist.

You may remember her as the author of the book, The Center Cannot Hold: My Journey Through Madness, her story of living with schizophrenia which was published in 2007. She’s led an extraordinary life and career, demonstrating that even serious mental illness doesn’t have to be a handicap: Saks, 53, suffered from schizophrenia all her life, but kept it hidden while excelling in her academic studies, receiving a philosophy degree from Oxford University and a law degree from Yale University before joining the faculty at USC. She is also an adjunct professor of psychiatry at UC San Diego, where she does research abo...

Here were a few of the non-subtler clues: Even though I have no desire, but admire those who do it well (drag), my mother was quite concerned as a seven-year old always wanted to put on women’s clothes out of the dress up box. For some reason I had the faint recollection of it. For me it was we were becoming something we were, and that was a girl. Little did I know I already was. One-day mom came to talk to me to tell me to play dress up as other people. I’ve always hated my voice.  When I was younger they always thought I was a girl on the phone. I still hate my voice. I did once do some voice work, and I’m looking getting back... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2107739 Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:05:20 +0100 2107739 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1837331&cid=t_139649_137_f&fid=35357&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAlzheimersNotes%2F%7E3%2F3xKbmKitMuo%2F AlzheimersNotes.com Art often is as an activity for Alzheimer’s patients.  This might include acrylic or water color painting, shaping with clay, coloring with crayons or markers, quiltmaking, sketching, and mixed media.  It depends on the stage of the patient whether they can do much or even comprehend. However, many patients in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s find enjoyment and relaxation in this form of creativity.   Many do amazingly well with assistance. Are you preserving this art? But it’s not good, you think.  It doesn’t have value. However, it has memories and leaves a legacy.    My mother-in-law didn’t have Alzheimer’s but was nearly blind.  We didn’t realize until after her death how many water color paintings she had done d...

Add Demuth to the pantheon of notable Americans with diabetes. Demuth lived nearly his entire life in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He had a hard life, being type 1 diabetic at a time before digital meters and pumps and all that good stuff. Not only that, he was diabetic at a time when insulin was only beginning to be used. So, you may well ask: what did they do in the dark, dark pre-insulin days? Well, dear reader, the treatment was pretty unsophisticated. Starvation, basically. They got you eating as little as possible. Not surprisingly, life expectancy was not good in those days! Demuth suffered from a lack of energy and...

The image that you see to the left (click on it to enlarge it) is the culmination of that effort.To thank me for my efforts, Ms. Clariond has given me 50 copies of this beautiful work of poetic and visual art for charitable purposes. I have to say that I am quite honored to have been asked to translate the texts and am proud of the results. In a gesture of paying forward and to the cause, I have decided to offer my own version of a "Translator's Limited Edition" of this work. I will include a signed insert with my biography as translator and the story of how this translation came about, includ... 2sides2ron blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=797965 Tue, 14 Aug 2007 05:23:00 +0100 797965 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=741453&cid=t_139649_135_f&fid=35263&url=http%3A%2F%2Fronhudson.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F07%2Fguest-artist-farid-de-la-ossa-of.html My name is Farid De La Ossa. I am a 31 year old Colombian artist living in the US who was diagnosed with HIV 4 months ago. I received a message that said that you were collecting entries from people with HIV [for the International Carnival of Pozitivities (ICP)]. Attached there is a painting I just made on pansexuality and I wanted to share it with you because I thought you might want to publish it on your website. The name of this piece is "Pansexuality" and it is based on the opportunity I have had to get to know transgenders and people dealing with different kinds of gender combinations of relationships in my stay in San Francisco (US).With this art piece I just wanted to show solidarity towards transgenders and people in non-straight relationships. Below I am sending you a brief descri... 2sides2ron blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=741453 Wed, 18 Jul 2007 04:42:00 +0100 741453
