One of the highlights of SXSW Day 6 (Wednesday, March 13) was attending the SXSW Interview with Depeche Mode. Unfortunately, there was a very long queue for the event, and I ended up getting seats toward the back of the room. The combination of my iPhone's poor zoom capabilities and the overly bright stage lighting resulted in rather blurry, washed-out pics. Seated from left to right are interviewer Jason Bentley, Martin Gore, Dave Gahan, and Andrew Fletcher. I didn't catch any video, but you can read a transcript of the interview at www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2013/03/22/175065996/depeche-....
So yea, we just touched him up a little and asked him lots of questions. He did... alright... hardly flying colours but alright.
Robert S. Duncanson, Born Seneca County, NY 1821/22-
died Detroit, MI 1872
Landscape with Rainbow, 1859, oil on canvas, 30 x 52 1⁄4 in.
Robert Seldon Duncanson was America’s best known African American painter in the years surrounding the Civil War. Based in Cincinnati, he was supported by abolitionists who bought his paintings and sponsored his trip to Europe to study from the Old Masters. In this pastoral landscape, a young couple strolls through fertile pastureland, toward a house at the end of a rainbow. The cattle head home toward the nearby cottage, reinforcing the sense that man lives in harmony with nature. Duncanson’s vision of rural America as Arcadia, a landscape akin to paradise, is a characteristic feature of his work, a late hope for peace before the onset of Civil War.
The topography of Duncanson’s Landscape with Rainbow evokes the Covington/Cincinnati region. When it was exhibited in 1859, a reviewer praised it as "one of the most beautiful pictures painted on this side of the [Allegheny] mountains." The bucolic vista over which the rainbow arches suggests a scene imbued with hope, providing a pictorial end of the rainbow towards which the couple walks. Duncanson painted this landscape on the eve of Civil War, a reminder of the power of landscape painting to convey America’s cultural aspirations. Duncanson presents this scene as a vision of future peace and prosperity regardless of race—an aspiration we all should embrace.
Robert S. Duncanson (1821–1872) was America’s best known African American painter in the years surrounding the Civil War. His parents moved the family from Virginia to Fayette, New York, near Seneca Falls, where Duncanson was born. In 1840 at the age of 19, the artist moved to Cincinnati, then the largest and most prosperous city on the western frontier. By the 1850s the “Queen City” had developed a reputation for its pro-abolitionist leanings. But even here Duncanson walked a fine line, acknowledging his heritage without flaunting it. Duncanson worked hard to make a decent living and raise a family working as an artist of color during the antebellum and Civil War years.
Cincinnati was home to a substantial group of prominent abolitionists, among them Rev. Francis Conover, James Birney, Nicholas Longworth, Rev. Charles Avery, Freeman Cary, and Rev. Richard Rust, all of whom were among the artist’s patrons. During the 1840s Lyman Beecher and his family—including daughter Harriet and son Henry Ward Beecher —were friends and fellow residents. Stowe and her brother left for Boston shortly before she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin; however, their ties to Cincinnati meant it was highly likely Duncanson, and many of his patrons, read the book in serial form and saw one of the early plays. Local abolitionist journals took pride in pointing out Duncanson’s accomplishments as evidence of the capabilities of African Americans.
The Civil War made it increasingly difficult for Duncanson to feel comfortable even in Cincinnati, and by 1863 the artist had moved with his family to Montreal. There he was in good company; Canada was a terminus of the Underground Railroad. Even Frederick Douglass had headed north of the border after John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry in 1859, when his arrest seemed imminent. Cincinnati had long been an important stop on the Underground Railroad. Across the river was Covington, Kentucky, and between them flowed the Ohio River. For many who escaped, the Ohio River represented the last obstacle to freedom. It was across that river that Stowe’s character Eliza escaped with her infant daughter, crossing the ice floes that choked the river at the height of winter.

The Smithsonian American Art Museum is the home to one of the most significant and most inclusive collections of American art in the world. Its artworks reveal America’s rich artistic and cultural history from the colonial period to today. The museum’s main building is located at Eighth and G streets N.W., above the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metrorail station. Admission is free.
The museum has been a leader in identifying and collecting significant aspects of American visual culture, including photography, modern folk and self-taught art, African American art, Latino art, and video games. The museum has the largest collection of New Deal art and exceptional collections of contemporary craft, American impressionist paintings and masterpieces from the Gilded Age. In recent years, the museum has focused on strengthening its contemporary art collection, and in particular media arts, through acquisitions, awards, curatorial appointments, endowments, and by commissioning new artworks.
Explore the sweep of the American imagination across four centuries at the nation's flagship museum for American art and craft. Dive into inspiring artworks, the reimagined collection, and an array of special exhibitions including Glenn Kaino: Bridge. Experience our offerings both online and in person at our two locations, including national educational programs, innovative research, video interviews with artists, virtual artist studio tours, lectures, audio guides, and more. Admission is always free.
Since 1968, the National Portrait Gallery has been housed in the former Patent Office building, a structure designed by Robert Mills in the neoclassical style and built between 1836-1867. This historic building, which is the third oldest government building in the city, is shared with another Smithsonian museum, the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The building's marble and granite porticos are inspired by those of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.
An undulating steel and glass canopy wows visitors who enter the Kogod Courtyard. Inside you’ll find diners from the museum’s café, tourists soaking their weary feet in the shallow fountain running across the space, and students taking advantage of free Wi-Fi in the light and airy setting. The modern roof seals the center of the old Patent Office Building, currently shared by the National Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum. Architect Norman Foster designed the roof to have minimal impact on the building by creating a support system that prevents direct contact and weight placement on it. Unlike most of the other Smithsonian Museums located on the Mall, this gem is found in the busy Penn Quarter of downtown D.C. It is a favorite place to bring visitors, not only for the impressive courtyard space, but also for the preserved architecture of the patent offices on the top floor. Check the Smithsonian’s website for special courtyard workshops, concerts, or events. The museum is right near the Gallery Place/Chinatown Metro on the green, yellow, and red lines.
The Smithsonian American Art Museum showcases rotating exhibits, which have previously exposed visitors to work created in response to the Vietnam War, glasswork, native women artists and more. The Smithsonian American Art Museum also operates a separate branch, the Renwick Gallery, devoted to contemporary craft and decorative arts.
I have an important interview tomorrow and have not been sure whether to wear a suit or go a bit casual.
So I have settled on the above compromise. I think it sets the right tone?
Special thanks to Fifi for taking the photo :-)

I have an interview at art school for a place on the foundation course.
But now the hard part - getting a portfolio together. What does a portfolio look like in this context? What do i put in it? Any and all advice very welcome....
oh, and I started a set for possibilities (copying brendadada ) which shows you where I'm starting from.... but I am currently hating everything!
Two students, Evan Nolan on the left and Christopher Stelling on the right, have actually caught a sighting of the creature back in the Indian Pond Trail.
One of the witnesses, Evan Nolan, described the creature as, “a peculiar animal ” and also credited the unicorn with laying down fecal matter on the trails within the past week. Nolan, a freshman at the University of Albany, cited the Unicorn’s brilliant figure as it dashed through the trails. “I’ve never seen a unicorn run that fast, it was like a bolt of lightning, except slower than that,” he recalled. Nolan has since been placed in psychiatric therapy for the events that took place on that sunny day.
Christopher also added to Evan’s comments, “I didn’t see it at first. But then Evan told me to look, and I saw it. It had like a unicorn head and a regular male body. I’m a bio major, and to be honest, I’ve never seen something like that before. He looked dangerous though, I would stay away.”
