Getty Museum exhibit GODS OF ANGKOR: Bronzes from the National Museum of Cambodia, February 22- August 14, 2011, at the J. Paul Getty Museum, Getty Center, Los Angeles, CA.
Cambodia is renowned for the extraordinary art produced during the Angkor period of the Khmer empire, between the ninth and the fifteenth centuries, when sculptors mastered the art of bronze casting and created profound images of Hindu and Buddhist divinities. A focused exhibition of loans from the National Museum of Cambodia in Phnom Penh, Gods of Angkor includes some of the finest Cambodian bronzes in existence as well as a small group of bronzes from the pre-Angkor period and some recently excavated works. It also celebrates the establishment of a bronze conservation studio at the National Museum of Cambodia and that institution's role in conserving Cambodia's cultural heritage.
The exhibit will include a Family Festival, on June 4, which includes several Long Beach local Cambodian performances and organizations.

The Cure - A Forest

"A Forest" is a single by the British rock band The Cure, released on April 8, 1980 as the only single from their second album Seventeen Seconds.

The lyrics tell a vague story about a man looking for a girl in a forest. He hears her calling for him, and as he chases her, he suddenly stops and realizes that he is lost and that the girl is not there. The song is fairly upbeat compared to the other material on the album, and Lol Tolhurst's machine-like steady beat together with Simon Gallup's minimalistic bassline gives this nervous chase more depth and keeps the song on the edge of a frantic groove until the end.

Sleepwalker's Ballad

Green, how I love you green.
Green wind. Green branches.
The ship upon the sea
the horse on the mountain.
With her waist in shadows
she dreams on her balcony,
green flesh, green hair...
--Federico Garcia Lorca

Entire poem: Sleepwalker's Ballad

UNDISCOVERED

Vivian Maier grew up in France, immigrated to the US, spent 40 unassuming years working as a nanny, and then, during her free time, took more than 100,000 photographs of life on the Chicago streets. Discovered only in 2009, not long before her death, her photography will be on display at the Chicago Cultural Center from January to April 2011. This marks the first solo exhibition of her work.

The show opened last Sat. I like this artist a lot. However, this new work I like the least, but it's still worth seeing. Large scale paintings and a few sculptures.
