Health & Safety Upper Playground and FIFTY 24PDX Gallery Present "Health and Safety" - An Art Gallery Event. London-based artist Will Barras will present a new series of artwork and installations in this month's exhibit at FIFTY24PDX Gallery. "Health and Safety" displays Barras's fascination with bike culture, city-life, and his interest in soapbox derbies. Originally inspired by hiphop and BMX graphics, Barras's art has evolved to show his perception of the world around him, producing layers of pastel background finely detailed by black, flowing lines. Following his artistic calling, Barras helped form the UK's Scrawl Collective in the late 90s. With the motto of "Hand B4 Mouse," this group of young artists strives to put customary mediums of paint, pen and paper over computer-generated images. Barras has gained international recognition for his own work, as well as touring Japan, Europe and the U.S. with other members of the Scrawl Collective to exhibit group shows. An opening reception for "Health & Safety" will be held Thursday, June 7th, from 6:00-9:30PM. "Health & Safety" runs through July 28th, 2007.

Mediaburn 5.31 - Separating Circus From Art @ D: George Lucas: Circus Vs. Art. George Lucas, speaking at the D conference, spoke about online video sharing sites like YouTube, vs making movies and professional shows: "There are two sorts of entertainment: circus and art. Circus is random...that is what is on YouTube. Throwing puppies on a freeway, we say it in film lingo. You watch it happen. It is voyeuristic. Sort of what American Idol is. Art is where a particular person contrives a situation and tells a story and hopefully that story reveals the truth behind the facts. Voyeurism only tell you the facts."
