It's a wonderful art world! ART GRABS MY HEARTt

KENY GALLERY in German Village is showing the incredible ELIJAH PIERCE. The Keny entrepeneurs have wisely obtained the showing-rights to Pierce's works and are presenting the late, great Elijah Pierce's Woodcarvings (and Historic Amish Quilts)
This exhibit will not be "beat", as Elijah might say, in the Central Ohio area, nor to my thinking, anywhere. The quilts, traditional and wild, dance before the eyes yet manage to be sedate. Yes, Adam, Eve, and the Serpent are there.
Pierce was a long lived minister of the gospel, and his art-- call it primitive, spiritual, or narrative--has a whimsical life of its own. The Kenys are to be congratulated.
The quilts are worth a trip from Cleveland or Detroit. --Technical problems are disturbing me at present so I must leave things at that.---Go, go go ! Visit Keny Gallery on Beck Street. Look it up. There's only one Keny Gallery, or I'll be a camel in Elijah's (imaginary) Noah's Ark.

A NOT SO DELICATE BALANCE

EDWARD ALBEE's A DELICATE BALANCE opens at my favorite live/alive theatre
on February sixteenth, 2012. --So who's afraid of Virginia Woolfe/Wolf? I am.
There's grim and cutting edge humor in CCT's A DELICATE BALANCE. Albee knows how give family life a bitter lemon twist with sugar. . --Two's company,but when it comes to the addition of house guests, beware!
COLUMBUS CIVIC THEATER is at 3837 Indianola Avenue. There's usually ample parking very near by, and acoustics and visual aspects in the intimate, if austere, auditorium, are first rate. CCT's recent production of George Bernard Shaw's anti war frolic ARMS AND THE MAN was first rate. Again: CCT actors and their director Richard Albert, understand clarity, whimsy, and poetic prose.--Theyre just darn good
The laconic mover and shaker Albee was born in 1928, and
he's still running ahead of most of us! Run, Rabbit, run!
, Call 447 PLAY, or just show up and take your chances. This inobtrusive theater at 3837Indianola Avenue is a gem. You'll be able to hear every line and see each gesture, and that's all too rare.
