Robert Rauschenberg took a completely different approach, not attempting to play with the materiality or non-materiality of the car or suggest speed, wind, or movement like the others. Instead his painting is static and approaches a painted car from an almost educational point of view. "I think mobile museums would be a good idea," he said. "This car is the fulfillment of my dream." Renowned for his use of collage and a multiplicity of materials and forms, Rauschenberg employed a kind of appropriation in his BMW 635 CSi. The most humorous of the automobiles, Rauschenberg painted the hubcaps as though they were fragile antique plates and reproduced Bronzino's famous Portrait of a Young Man on one side of the car and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' Le Grande Odalisque on the other. In a reference to the posssible ecological damage caused by the proliferation of automobiles, the artist included his own photographs of flowers, trees, and swamp grass to the hood and roof. - Christopher Mount, Design Historian (From the LACMA catalogue BMW ART CARS February 12-24, 2009)

A car enthusiast and collector, Frank Stella employed the most rational approach to the painting of his BMW 3.0 CSL. "My design is like a blueprint transferred to the bodywork," he said, and in fact the graph paper-inspired decoration suggests a two-dimensional drawing inflated to three dimensions. Stella sought inspiration from the car's technical drawings and found this to be the "most agreeable solution." However, this is not truly a technical exercise, and Stella references his own sculptures and drawings with the recurring appearance of the French curve and other forms taken from an architect's drawing table. - Christopher Mount, Design Historian and Curator (From the LACMA catalogue BMW ART CARS February 12-24, 2009)

Like the Stella, Roy Lichtenstein's automobile (BMW 320i) incorporates an artistic vocabulary familiar to him (including Benday dots and flat areas of color), but also adapts to the unusualness of the assignment. He said, "I pondered on it for a long time and put as much into it as I possibly could....I wanted the lines I painted to be a depiction, the road showing the car where to go." Again the modulated strip of color indicates movement and wind traveling from front to back of the car. However, Lichtenstein goes further conceptually: "the design also shows the countryside through which the car has traveled....One could cal it an enumeration of eveyrthing a car experiences - only that this car reflects all of these things before they actually have been on the road." On one side a rising sun, and over the rest a depiction of the natural and physical forces that car encounters on its daily journeys. - Christopher Mount, Design Historian and Curator (From the LACMA catalogue BMW ART CARS February 12-24, 2009)

For Andy Warhol, the actual painting of the car became a performance piece, done by his own hand live before cameras as a publicity event. Warhol approached the car with a carefree spirit and an uncharacteristic interest in a sort of "action painting." The car, a BMW M1, is covered with multicolored areas of paint that suggest movement (blurred particularly at racing speeds), but also perhaps individual side panels taken from different cars. This greatly oscures the overall form of the car. With the handle edge of the brush, Warhol scraped lines into the painted surfaces, implying wind moving over the surface but also further de-materializing the surface of this fine racing car. "I adore the car," Warhol said after he'd finished. "It's much better than a work of art." Certainly from a formal perspective much differs from Warhol's paintings, which were often achieved with the use of stencils or silkscreens with a prescribed order. - Christopher Mount, Design Historian and Curator (From the LACMA catalogue BMW ART CARS February 12-24, 2009)
Time Out says
Chris Burden’s Urban Light, a piece made up of 202 cast-iron street lamps gathered from around L.A. and restored to working order, has quickly become one of the city’s indelible landmarks over the past decade—and it’s inevitably what most visitors will identity the museum with. But you’d be selling yourself short if you don’t venture beyond the photo-friendly installation; LACMA’s collections boast modernist masterpieces, large-scale contemporary works (including Richard Serra’s massive swirling sculpture and Burden’s buzzing, hypnotic tangle of toy cars in Metropolis II), traditional Japanese screens and by far L.A.’s most consistently terrific special exhibitions.
ADVERTISING
While LACMA’s collections have long been the most impressive in the city, the 20-acre complex of buildings in which they’ve been housed has been quite the reverse. The midcentury grace of the original William Pereira-designed campus was mucked up with a series of postmodern additions; on the other hand, the Renzo Piano-designed Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM) and Resnick Pavilion are bright, spacious galleries that house LACMA’s contemporary works and exciting exhibitions.
Just a heads up: The eastern half of LACMA’s campus (home to its permanent collection) is mostly closed as it gears up for a massive redesign due to be completed in 2024, but you’ll still find about a half-dozen sizable special exhibitions located in the Resnick Pavilion and BCAM.
As for the art itself, you’ll see contemporary titans like Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and local artist Ed Ruscha in BCAM. The rest of its permanent collection is currently in flux due to construction, but expect to see it temporarily transition into the museum’s western campus: familiar modernists like Picasso, Mondrian, Klee and Kandinsky; Impressionist and post-Impressionist pieces by the likes of Cezanne, Gauguin and Degas; as well as a world-renowned collection of Islamic art, plenty of pieces from Africa and, in the Pavilion for Japanese Art, all manner of delightful pieces from the Far East.
This Congress, in honor of Professor Carlos Conca on his 60th anniversary,was held in Bilbao, at the BCAM (Basque Center for Applied Mathematics) Headquarters on 12 and 13 December 2014.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), also referred to in America as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM), is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.
Yes sorry, it is all about BCAM

GPS Coordinates V&S Road: 48°36'9.76"N 123°24'21.57"W
Today we walked 3km along the border between North Saanich and Central Saanich where it crosses Wallace Drive. We walked the well-maintained trail between Bourne Terrace and Emard Terrace. It seems it's for use by locals as an alternate using Amity Road (one block farther north).
We dropped in at the BC Aviation Museum to see Dave Marryatt who was MC for the 100th Anniversary of Flight in Victoria, BC. Caroline Duncan from the Saanich Archives seems to be the one hosting the event but it got no media coverage whatsoever -- at least not that I know of.
While in the area we drove down Newman Rd. to V&S Road (as in Victoria & Sidney Railway). This is the last remaining, undeveloped part of the old railway (except the railtrail section westside of Elk Lake) which operated here from 1892 to 1919. I hope someday to explore it more extensively from my bicycle.
Sick of silly projections yet? Try these distortions on for size. Again the resolution is low. These are 360 degree panos projected via Panini's super fish preset. Fun, freaky and probably very useful in the right hands ;-)
Saturday was a busy day. Past and present members of our airline, and wives, met at the British Columbia Air Museum (BCAM) to welcome Pete and wife, Leigh, who flew in from Tauranga, NZ, (pronounced: tar-rana) to see us.
Pete is chief flight instructor for Classic Flyers NZ Inc. and you can see the handsome devil on their promotional YouTube VIDEO or Classic Flyers NZ Website.
After touring the museum, fourteen of us had lunch together at Mary's Bleue Moon Cafe.
