Here’s a video from a television show in Australia called the Chaser’s War on Everything. I started on YouTube looking at a song (Tom Waits - Hold On) that was recommended to me and an hour later I was still looking through videos!There’s plenty more clips of the Chaser’s War on Everything on YouTube here. They hold nothing sacred and poke fun at anyone or anything, but they’re no longer making the show. Information This blog entry has one comment.

While I still consider Wal-Mart to be evil, at least they are using some of that power for good for a change (even if it is in their typically agressive way)…BENTONVILLE, Ark. - Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton jolted the art world in 2005 by outbidding two venerable East Coast museums for an iconic New York painting, paying a record price for the 1849 Asher B. Durand work “Kindred Spirits.”The purchase heralded the avid collector’s plan to found a major new museum of American art in northwest Arkansas, home of her late father’s company. The project is starting to take physical shape since foundation pouring began in October.Dubbed Crystal Bridges for a natural spring and the bridges that will span two ponds in the center of the compound, the glass-and-wood design by architect Moshe Safdie will cover 100,000 square feet when the museum opens in 2010.It aims to be “a premier national art institution” dedicated to American art and artists from the Colonial period through the modern era, according to the museum Web site.

Posted by admin on September 23, 2008 at 11:55 am  And just think…there are plenty of perfectly, wonderfully talented artists that can’t even make a living at it. If only they knew all they had to do was perfect their taxidermy skills. I don’t like it but apparently some people do enough to shell out millions. What do you think about this, especially in these economic times?From MSN Entertainment: LONDON - A sale of pickled sharks, butterfly paintings and other pieces by provocative British artist Damien Hirst has raised $198 million, silencing his doubters and defying the global economic gloom.Sotheby’s auction house said the total for the two-day sale was a record for an auction of works by a single artist.The turmoil engulfing global financial markets did nothing to dampen prices as more than 600 prospective buyers packed the showroom for each of the three auction sessions. Others around the world bid by phone. Read the rest of this entry » Exhibits, Information This blog entry has no comments. SEE post comments or MAKE a comment Executive Director of the JCAC Resigns Posted by admin on September 22, 2008 at 9:59 am  The Johnston County Arts Council Board of Directors today announced the resignation of Jessica Meadows as its executive director. Jessica informed the board that she will leave her position on October 6 to pursue new challenges as a Community Content Liaison with NBC 17.Jessica Meadows was employed by the Johnston County Arts Council as Executive Director in January 2005. Following her departure, she will continue to work with the organization as a volunteer.“It is not an easy decision to leave this position, as the arts are my passion and I was sincerely honored to serve as the executive director of the Johnston County Arts Council. However, I think the Arts Council is capable of new and unique opportunities and the next director can take the organization to the next step,” states Jessica Meadows.Arts Council President Susan Lassiter said, “The board of directors accepted Jessica’s resignation with regret and thanked her for her excellent work and creativity in the management of the office, her good rapport with the Johnston County community, and her guidance to each board member. We will certainly miss her. She will especially be missed by all those who have worked with her in the Artists-in-the-Schools program, a successful program in its tenth year that brings professional artists from around the world to perform in everyJohnston County school.”A search for a new executive director will begin immediately. Until a new director is hired, the board will oversee the daily operations of the office. The office is located at 231 E. Second St. in Clayton.

Posted by admin on September 19, 2008 at 10:57 am  Ok, this has nothing to do with art really. However, Rhett and Link are a couple of good ol’ boys from the county just southwest of here (Harnett) who have been life long friends who got a show called Online Nation on CW that died quickly. However, they’ve found online success and you gotta root for the local guys!In the video below they have a hilarious song about all of the different ways to prepare BBQ throughout the Southeastern United States. As many Southerners, I feel VERY strongly about the way to prepare BBQ (it should be pork and it should be vinegar based, not tomato for you silly Western North Carolinians!) So check it out, have a good laugh and go to Rhett and Link’s website for more funny videos! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ubTQfr_tyY Information This blog entry has no comments. SEE post comments or MAKE a comment The Art of Death Posted by admin on September 18, 2008 at 8:23 am From ArtblogThe German artist Gregor Schneider is looking for people that are about to die and are willing to be a part of his exhibition, which will be you dying.Schneider told the Art Newspaper that he wants to “display a person dying naturally in the piece or somebody who has just died. My aim is to show the beauty of death.” He also told them that his doctor in Düsseldorf is actively looking for possible participants in the exhibition of death.I don’t know much about the artist, and he may just be out to shock and collect his 15 minutes, but I don’t have a problem with his plans. If the person dying is aware of what he or she is participating in and it’s done in a reasonably tasteful manner, I’m fine with it. I probably wouldn’t go to the exhibition, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be exhibited.It’s a thousand times more tasteful than killing an animal for art, as I doubt that any of the animals from the recent Adel Abdessemed exhibition signed a consent form to agree to be filmed while they took a sledge hammer to the head.

Posted by admin on September 16, 2008 at 8:55 am  So I’ve been looking around the office and realized I’ve amassed some very cool CD’s, DVDs, and other swag that I’m really not taking advantage of, nor does the Arts Council necessarily need. So rather than let it sit here and go to waste, I thought maybe I could share it with you! I’ve made up three little “gift baskets.” One is a golf-themed basket with JCAC golf balls, JCAC golf towel, and some other golf-related gifts. The second is a Johnston County themed basket with a Johnston County mug, pen-holder, and other Johnston County-related items. The third is for Music lovers-four CDs by various musicians. These baskets will be given away to the first three people that contact me via email info@johnstoncountyarts.org. You must put “Johnston County Arts Council Giveaway” in the subject line; the first person gets to choose from the three baskets, the second person picks from the remaining two and the last person gets whats left!Start emailing!

Opening night is the first of what has shaped up to be an exciting and exhilarating season at The Clayton Center. The 2008-09 Palladian Series brings back to The Clayton Center stage several of the local audience’s most requested performers and offers an eclectic mix of blues, bluegrass folk and comedy. All shows are held in the 600-seat renovated historic auditorium at 111 E. Second St. in downtown Clayton, which is located about 15 miles east of Raleigh. “Last year’s fifth anniversary season was a huge success,” said Heidi Stump, executive director. “More people than ever before took advantage of the series, and our numbers keep growing. Each year we try to present a blend of some of the most legendary artists of our time, and also showcase up and coming performers that represent the very best in the performing arts. We’ve done it again with the 2008-09 schedule.” Read the rest of this entry » Information, Upcoming Events This blog entry has no comments.
