“We only realize the true value of the things in the moment of losing them, “BREATH” is my latest work, focuses on breath, a vital activity of human-beings which is controlled by ourselves. An infinite number of air bubbles appeared in the water enables us to see ‘breath’ with vivid clarity. Although we breath unconsciously in our ordinary lives, it is not easy to breath under water Losing air that we need for life, being enabled to breath, being controlled by water. We realize true value of things that always exist around us, in the moment of losing them. Some people accepts its control and wait for the end to come without bidding defiance to it, The others are thirst for life, struggling against it and trying to control themselves. That is the contrast of holding on to life, which appears clearly under water. “BREATH” asks viewers questions. What is the things you should know the value of, hold on to and control? And what is the most necessary thing for your life?” (via)

When MAN’s readers pointed out that museum membership programs — a significant source of revenue — might suffer if art museums went free, MAN asked four museums that once charged and then went free for their before-and-after membership data. (The museums: the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, which is pictured above, at right.) Their responses may surprise you. Read part two here.

Paul Carey-Kent’s Top 10 London Shows for April
The most literal kind of figurative is figures themselves: they haven’t always been fashionable but there are plenty around at the moment, ranging from Nancy Spero at the Serpentine to Bill Viola at Blain/Southern to the examples (more to my taste) with which I start, before moving on to works which evoke people less directly… (via)
