I’ve always loved Polish theatre posters. I’m not sure what they put in the vodka over there, but they really know how to create provocative poster art. I just found a link courtesy of Boing Boing to a site filled with beautiful Polish movie posters. The movies are from all over, but the posters are distinctly Polish.

One of the more interesting American philosophers, Richard Rorty, has passed on. One of the more interesting thoughts he had was about winning arguments through changing the subject. Introduce a better idea instead of trying to disprove the idea in front of you.

The proceeds from the event topped $185,000.00 and that money will help Friends of the Urban Forest continue its mission of creating a greener San Francisco. Arcadia is also a lesson in individual action and the power of bringing people together for a common purpose. Arcadia was conceived by artists as a way to make a significant contribution to San Francisco’s urban ecosystem. Arcadia turns art into trees.
And all good intentions aside, the party was amazing and the art was stellar. 560 people packed the California Modern Gallery and had an absolute blast. It was a perfect evening.

Gyöngy Laky’s Play By The Rules is a great addition to the Arcadia 2007 Auction. Constructed from the street trees in her Neighborhood, nails and plastic army men — this piece has both a ecological and a political edge. This wall mounted sculpture will be part of the Live Auction. If you’ve never encountered Gyöngy’s work before, you should give her a google. (By the way, it’s pronounced “Ging” as in “Ginger”)
