  1. Chasing Moby Dick at the New Britain Museum of American Art

    It took a decade for NEW/NOW artist Tony de los Reyes to have his way with Herman Melville's classic <em>Moby Dick </em>(that's about how long it takes most of us to read it). Reyes re-interpreted the book visually, but not in the graphic novel sense; he "reconstructs" the work, using linen, sumi ink and red bister (as with <em>Cannibal</em>, pictured), drawing on a number of stylistic and narrative approaches while creating allegorical parallels between Ahab and America's self-destructive obsessions. The exhibit runs through the beginning of March.

  3. New Britain Museum of American Art Featuring the Works of Artist and Professor of New Media Eric Souther

    Eric Souther (pictured), an assistant professor of New Media and Informatics at Indiana University at South Bend, is that rare combination of artist and new-media techno-geek. Souther, who develops his own software, collaborates on multi-media art projects with engineers (notably on a piece called "The Life of the Techno Buddha," when together they developed a "brain wave cap" that controls sound and video), dancers and musicians to create interactive multi-media performances for institutions like Charlotte's Mint Museum of Craft + Design, the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City and now the New Britain Museum of American Art, where his "Chair," a compilation of 1,000 YouTube videos, will be on display through March. "Chair" simulates the process of surfing through vast seas of online information, allowing the user to experience databases through a variety of senses.

  6. See the Artwork of Atta Kim at New Britain Museum of American Art

    You can head to the NBMAA anytime before Thanksgiving to view Korean-American artist Atta Kim's new exhibit, which features seven photographs, including "The Museum Project #125" from his 2001 <em>Nirvana Series </em>(pictured). But you'd be wise to go to the opening this Friday at 5:30 p.m. to hear his son Ira Kim talk about his father's work. Atta Kim, whose work is influenced by both Heidegger and Buddhism, used long-exposure photography to provide "new modes of seeing." Indeed.

  11. A Martin Kline retrospective opens in New Britain

    <span style="font-size: medium;">In its best moments, <em>Romantic Nature</em>, a retrospective exhibit the work of Martin Kline at the New Britain Museum of American Art, is a glorious thing, a stunning monument to the power of images to stir transcendent experience. A work like &ldquo;Axis Mundi,&rdquo; for instance, is an apparition &mdash; a silent sentinel standing in a pool of light. A quiet homage to the poetic convergence of heaven and earth constructed in cedar and encrusted with beeswax, it marks a juncture between so-tactile reality and the sublime.</span>
