...Yorkshire farm was where, from the age of 13, British artist Andy Goldsworthy first learned his trade: how to use a shovel, skin a hare, build a dry-stone wall. And it is to the grounds of the 500-acre Yorkshire Sculpture Park, near Wakefield, where he first worked in 1983, that Goldsworthy now makes a fitting return for the largest ever exhibition of his work. Running until Jan. 6, 2008, the show features major new works and a photographic review of many of the ephemeral works in nature for which Goldsworthy has become famous over the last 30 years...
...very privileged viewpoint, the landscape as seen from a distance. My viewpoint has always been from the other side. That was the driving force in the outside work. But there were also the connections between the inside and the outside. It's not a contradiction for an artist who's committed to working outside to work inside. I live inside, I should work inside occasionally. When I do, I hope that it's a way of finding the nature of the building. Nature is not just trees and fields...
...lived near Leeds and worked from the age of 13 on a farm right where the suburbs began - and that was very important. I was always going to be an artist, since I was a kid, but the impact that farming had was tremendous. It's a very sculptural activity.

And the dead animals. When you're a farm kid you see death all the time. When you see spring...
...captivating as its immediate predecessor. Listening to Bird’s subtle stylings and soaring, intellectual, rustic chamber pop, it seems impossible that he could have ever been a part of the ultra-swinging Squirrel Nut Zippers. He has transformed from floor-stomping fiddler into a mega-orchestral artist for the ages. Yet some aspects of “Armchair Apocrypha” aren’t improvements over Bird’s earlier work. The album seems to aspire to the grand populism of arena rock, but it loses the catchy hooks and grab-your-head lyrics that popped...
...decline of hand-drawn animation with each computer-generated box office hit, the gap between classic and cutting edge has never been wider. But by picking up a new technology, Sert Practitioner in the Arts at the Carpenter Center Munro Ferguson uses elements of each medium to put the artist back in animation. Using a device known as SANDDE (Stereoscopic Animation Drawing Device), Ferguson is able to create three-dimensional “hand-drawn” images in real time. Developed by cousin and partner Paul Kroiter, the technology allows animators to do what they do best?...
