GOOD ART
“The City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs presents Disconnected: Works by Christine Bush Roman at City Gallery, June 30 through August 5, 2018. Combining transfer techniques with painting, drawing, and collage to give glimpses into the intricate and contradictory nature of modern life, these works explore postpartum depression, mental illness, and a life out of balance, while examining the web of issues that lead to detachments from one another and the natural world. City Gallery will host an opening reception for the exhibition on June 29 from 5-7 p.m. An artist’s talk will be held on July 15, 2018 at 2pm.
Both events are free and open to the public.”
VIDEO OF THE WEEK
“Two forms of government have dominated in the west over the last hundred years. In one big power is vested in the state, the government, in the other policy is dominated by the influence of big industry, big corporations, or big money. Well a hundred years after the Russian revolution, and ten years after the financial crash, a whole lot of people all around the world are saying “are there any alternatives?””
