Modernism Gallery: Spacetime Industries, USA - Jonathon Keats.

Review by RWM: Einstein's Relativity explored here artistically. One can buy lead to disrupt the gravity waves around one's being. The artist may also be a time traveler from a distant time bringing knowledge and stories to share and fascinate. One might be better able to manage their time after this interesting show.

Comment by AB: According to the laws of physics as interpreted by conceptual theorist Jonathan Keats (with the unwitting assistance of Albert Einstein), time slows in direct proportion to the strength of gravitational pull. So for $19.99, you can purchase a diminutive custom-wrapped lead "time ingot" to keep in your back pocket, thereby increasing gravity's immediate pull on you, and during the course of your existence, lengthen your lifespan by approximately one schmillionth of a second. Is that worth $19.99? Absolutely!

Hedge Gallery: Paul Philp - Shadows.

Comment by AB: Elegant earthy ceramics by Welsh potter Paul Philp seem so natural and spontaneous, yet they represent the culmination of over half a century of diligence, perfection of skills, and good old fashioned hard work. Worth a visit.
