Tradition Interrupted explores the methods used by artists to conflate contemporary ideas with traditional art and craft in a range of media from rugs and quilts to metal and ceramic. This exhibition was organized by Bedford Gallery, Walnut Creek, Calif. Participating artists are Anila Quayyum Agha (Pakistan), Faig Ahmed (Azerbaijan), Camille Eskell (New York), Mounir Fatmi (France, Morocco), Ana Gomez (Mexico), Shirin Hosseinvaud (Iran), Dinh Q. Le (Vietnam), Steven Young Lee (Montana), Jaydan Moore (Virginia), Ramekon O’Arwisters (California), Jason Seife (Florida) and Masami Teraoka (Japan).
Love the classic sounds of Frankie Valli, The Drifters, The Del Vikings? Ever wonder what Adele, Jason Mraz, and Garth Brooks would sound like if they had lived in the Doo Wop era? Meet The Doo Wop Project, a group of talented, charismatic and engaging Broadway stars from shows such as Jersey Boys, A Bronx Tale and Motown: The Musical who trace the evolution of Doo Wop from those classic sounds of five guys singing tight harmonies on a street corner or in the subway to the biggest hits being played on media today. PBS was impressed enough to produce The Doo Wop Project’s show as a one-hour special.

Eyes as Big as Plates is an ongoing series of collaborative photographs by FinnishNorwegian artist and activists Riitta Ikonen and Karoline Hjorth. Initially influenced by Norwegian folklore, Ikonen and Hjorth state the goal of the project is to “generate new perspectives on who we are and where we belong.” Each image in the series presents a solitary figure in a landscape, dressed in elements from surroundings that indicate neither time nor place. Here nature acts as both content and context: characters literally inhabit the landscape wearing sculptures they create in collaboration with the artists
