Lechuguilla Cave was shown in the BBC documentary series Planet Earth. “Caves” documented a team of scientists and filmmakers exploring Lechuguilla, including the Chandelier Ballroom, where high-quality crystals are found. It took the team two years to get permission to film the cave, and local authorities are unlikely to allow another film crew to enter in the foreseeable future.

Wild Animals by Dutch artist Rop van Mierlo is a collection of his amazing wash paintings of animals. Allowing the inks and watercolours to soak and spread on the paper as it wants to, Mierlo’s animals are wild in their formation, without hard lines or angles to confine them.

Can’t believe we missed this, sounds like an amazing collaboration of Torontoians!

kniivila:

Toronto friends! A few good friends recently got together and founded Garrison Creek Bat Company.

To celebrate, they’ve gathered 17 artists together to custom paint bats (included yours truly), which will be exhibited tomorrow night at AWOL gallery (76 Ossington Avenue).

Here’s a little preview of the bat I painted. If you live in Toronto and have some time tomorrow night, it would be amazing to see you out!

(Personally, I can’t wait to see all the bats, but I’m also mega excited for the bat bags made by Robin Akitt - I recently checked out her blog (Ship Island Leather) and she crafts….ridiculously beautiful things.)

#KeithHaring: 1978–1982 on exhibition fromMarch 16–July 8 at the Brooklyn Museum. The exhibition chronicles the period in Haring’s career from his arrival in New York City through the years when he started his studio practice and began making public and political art on the city streets. Immersing himself in New York’s downtown culture, he quickly became a fixture on the artistic scene, befriending other artists such as Jean-Michel Basquiat and Kenny Scharf, as well as many of the most innovative cultural figures of the period. The critical role that these relationships played in Haring’s development as a public artist and facilitator of group exhibitions and performances is also explored.  Thanks to the Brooklyn Museum for this, you can read more here. Can’t wait to check this out next time we are in New York! Make sure you follow the Keith Haring Foundation’s tumblr as they will be posting a new page from Keith’s diary every day. keithharing: NB-0
