    Exit Through the Gift Shop
    When British stencil artist Banksy traveled to Los Angeles to work, he came across obscure French filmmaker Thierry Guetta and his badly organized collection of videotapes involving the activities of graffiti artists. Inspired, Banksy assembled them with new footage to create this talked-about documentary, and the result is a mind-boggling and odd film (so strange as to be thought a hoax by some) about outsider artists and the definition of art itself.

Mosh Kashi - Embracing the “Sensitive Viewer”

DateTuesday, September 18, 2012 at 11:09AM

Mosh Kashi, Silver Forest, Oil on Canvas, 110x100cm, 2011 - Noga Gallery of Contemporary ArtThe concept of the “sensitive viewer” was defined by Mark Rothko, in the mid-20th century. Rothko suggested that the viewer's gaze is able to seal a painting's fate. During the late period of Rothko’s career--he recommended that viewers stand very close to his paintings, in order to develop an intimate relationship with them. Israeli artist Mosh Kashi ( ) creates primarily monochromatic works that invite the same kind of intimacy. Kashi’s work is quiet and contemplative--and definitely embodies the ability to enchant the viewer.
