    Book Review: Amy Ellis Nutt’s Shadows Bright as Glass

    – August 3, 2011Posted in: around the web, articles, links, news, videos

    Where does your memory live? Your personality? Your career? Your soul? These are questions usually relegated to  late-night conversations in dorm rooms or talk radio, or else for academics well versed in philosophy, neurology or even religion. Even when they feel more crucial to our lives, as when a loved one is dying or faces dementia, we often find ourselves speculating uselessly. But for Jon Sarkin, once a successful chiropractor, and his wife, Kim, these questions were literally life and death after a blood vessel misfired in his brain.

    – August 3, 2011Posted in: around the web, articles, links, news, videos

    The first time Amy Ellis Nutt came across John Sarkin’s art, it was hanging on the wall of a neurologist’s office.

    Amy, a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for Newark’s Star-Ledger, was researching a story on the elusive wonders of science. Her investigation led to the office of Dr. Todd Feinberg, who authored a book on the mysterious human mind.

    PBS News video on Baltimore Exhibit

    – November 20, 2010Posted in: news, videos

    Check out the PBS Newshour Article featuring Sarkin and his exhibit at the Baltimore American Visionary Art Museum here

    isplaying works by self-taught artists with little formal training, Baltimore’s American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) is not your typical museum. It is a playful (and often inspiring) museum where the artists’ back stories are just as interesting as the art works themselves.

    In celebration of AVAM’s 15 years of existence, founder and curator Rebecca Hoffberger decided to mount a year-long exhibition entitled, “What Makes Us Smile?”, a celebration of human joy as seen through an array of funny, happy or goofy drawings, paintings and sculptures, as well as the ever-present, ever-blowing, whoopee cushion bench.

    Hoffberger points out that it’s during tough economic times like today that the culture often falls back on innocent — and even immature — pleasures. During the height of the Great Depression, sales of whoopee cushions soared.

    Among the special curators for this exhibit is “The Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, who knows a thing or two about the art of laughter.

    “What Makes Us Smile?” at the American Visionary Art Museum is on view until September 4, 2011.
