Fuse Theater Interview: Ken Cheeseman on “Bakersfield Mist”

We’re in this virtual reality age now, asking new questions about what art is. What has true meaning and what doesn’t?

By: Tim Jackson Filed Under: Featured, Theater Tagged: art, Bakersfield Mist, Jackson-pollock, Jeff Zinn, Ken Cheeseman, Paula Langton

Visual Arts Feature: Me and Philip Guston

Our discussions always took the same turn. Philip Guston attempted to convince me that artists like Piero della Francesca and the cave painters of Lascaux were in the first place abstractionists.

Fuse Flash: New York Times Breaks Long Silence on Matter Controversies

The New York Times broke nearly eight months of silence in its Nov. 29 issue to report on a symposium, “Are They Pollocks? What Science Tells Us About the Matter Paintings,” presented the previous night under the sponsorship of the International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR). Abstract Expressionist painter Jackson Pollock doing his thing

Fuse Flash: Pollock Research Fractured?

According to a report in ScienceDaily, more surprises may be in store for those following the Pollock-Matter controversies. The award-winning website, which specializes in breaking developments in scientific research, has announced that Case Western Reserve University physicist Lawrence Krauss will be among the invited guests to a New York symposium this week on scientific studies […]

Fuse Flash: Another Shoe off the Pollock Matters Centipede?

For those still perusing the shopping mall of controversies built around the Pollock Matter Affair (see past Fuse Flash and Anonymous Sources posts) another well-polished shoe (or more) may drop later this month at an International Foundation for Art Research (IFAR) symposium in New York City.

Anonymous Sources: Pollock Matter a Use Too Fair?

Could a longstanding debate over copyright law add yet another dimension to the long-running Pollock Matter Affair? There are signs it might, though the media haven’t yet understood just how broad the implications might be.

Anonymous Sources: Just Call Us Old Fashioned

A hard-surfing reader called our attention recently to a piece in the on-line journal, The Hub Review. The piece, “Why all the love for the ‘Matter Pollocks’?” reports on the on-going controversy covered in some previous “Anonymous Sources” posts on The Arts Fuse.

Anonymous Sources: Pollock Exhibition Will Make Global Splash

A front-page story in the Boston Globe arts section last Sunday reminds us that the Pollock-Matter Affair is alive and well and moving to Boston. One of the biggest art world controversies in decades, this perfect storm of paint, press hype, and cultivated invective swirls around a group of Jackson Pollock-like art works that filmmaker […]
