subtle power of his voice, a husky,
hushed baritone… understated,
at once sophisticated and intimate…
as cover-worthy as Randy Newman,
Elvis Costello and Dar Williams.”

exhibition of the DMAC's anniversary
year—the first one-person
museum exhibition in the United
States for the Chinese artist Yan
Pei-Ming, who divides his time among
studios in Shanghai as well as Paris
and Dijon, France. Yan is considered
one of the foremost Chinese artists
working today, creating large, vibrant,
expressionistic paintings and watercolors.
His subject matter often includes
self-portraits and portraits of
family members or political figures,
such as Mao and American presidents.

Abu
Ghraib. For the past four
years, Daniel Heyman has concentrated
his art on making images about
the war in Iraq, specifically
the abuse and torture of innocent
Iraqis at Abu Ghraib and other
prisons. For this work, Heyman
traveled to Jordan and Turkey
where he has talked face to
face with over 25 former detainees,
painting their portraits and
taking down their own versions
of what happened to them at
the hands of the American
captors. Three of these detainees
have since been killed in
the war. Daniel Heyman's work
is being brought to Iowa by
the UI Museum of Art and he
will be our guest on Know
the Score along with
others addressing issues of
human rights and the idea
of art as historical record. |
