Kim Keever

“Miniature topographies inside 200-gallon fish tanks, based on traditional landscape paintings. Keever fills the tanks with water once he’s sculpted and placed the miniatures, and colored lights and pigments create dense, atmospheric environments. He views his works as an evolution of the landscape tradition and deliberately acknowledges the conceptual artifice.”

MAY - MOVIES

A whole lotta of mental/physical illness and Sweden this month. Dragon Tattoo and Side Effects both showcasing Rooney Mara’s talent. The Spider God Trilogy films by Ingmar Bergman rounded out a pretty decent watchlist, each appropriately more depressing/creepy than the last. Scent of a Woman was delightful, though

SCENT OF A WOMAN - Delightful! Memorable scenes and a great Pacino.
ROOM 237 - Sifting through details (even subliminal) of The Shining leads to fascinating theories about Kubrick and film itself
SILVER LININGS - A boy-meets-girl premise with just enough unique character(s) to make it stand out, quite funny
THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY - My favorite of Bergman’s “spider God trilogy”, depicting faith and insanity
GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO - Overlong yet enjoyable, obviously enjoyed the book more
SIDE EFFECTS - Loved the first half of what appeared to be a genuine take on patient-doctor-drug relationships until the second half revealed an exhaustive backstabbing plot of money/power/etc
WINTER LIGHT - A solemn, bleak depiction of a priest who’s lost his faith. 
LORE - (Can’t love em can’t hate em) Nazi orphans provide yet another WWII perspective as they attempt to cross Allied-occupied Germany countryside. Lore is a pretty despicable character throughout :/
THE SILENCE - Too quiet! Bergman’s films have amazing writing, and without much being said (or done), it felt more like an experiment than a fully invested endeavor

I love large scale science fiction artwork; the fact that I’ll be experiencing them in the near future is just a huge bonus
