Slog - Comments on Falling and Looking http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/falling_and_looking Having just gone through Richard Misrach's press preview this morning, I can say with certainty that you're going to want to hear him speak tonight at UW. (Full details here.) He's talking about his latest completed series, On the Beach, which he made between 2002 and 2005. In it, he stood on a balcony at a Hawaii hotel and shot downward, geometrically reversing the relationship between photographer and subject that occurred when the victims of September 11 were falling out of their buildings toward the photographers below. On the Beach is about the way Misrach saw things after the attacks....

I'd go tonight if it weren't for the sick baby who needs me.

Page 13 says "...It is almost impossible for this painting to be attributed to Bruegel the Elder, who died in 1659. Furthermore, the resuts show that the painting was probably produced before the second halfof the seventeenth century."

The museum website says (translated by google from french) "We doubt that the execution is by Pieter Bruegel but we design against him is attributed with certainty. Another version of this work is in the collection Van Buuren also in Brussels."

Like #2, I had the chance to see this exhibit last ear at the Art Institute. I recommend viewing with some headphones pumping Mono or Explosions in the Sky.
