Derek Weisberg's sculptures are inspired by the classical imagery of a time when art was created for the inspiration of the people to connect with the divine.
Within the pursuit of artisan craftmanship, Derek's figures are captured in moments of contemplation, anguish and the search for meaning and comprehension of being human during challenging times.

New Life Berlin is a contemporary art festival dedicated to new modes of moving and existing.
Curated from participatory art community Wooloo, New Life Berlin aims to connect the critical resources of a global network of artists with a specific geographical location of importance to today's cultural production.
New Life Berlin is taking place in Berlin, Germany from June 1-15 2008.
In opposition to traditional art festivals and biennials, the New Life Berlin artistic program is open to participation from international artists throughout the festival period.
By keeping participation open - while still curated - it is the intent of the curatorial team to test the critical value of the much discussed online community, while simultaneously serving as an investigative platform for a fluid cultural landscape that can no longer be controlled by any centralized apparatus.

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) presents Allan Kaprow- Art as Life, the first major retrospective of Allan Kaprow (1927-2006), one of the most influential artists of the postwar era.
On view at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA March 23, 2008-June 30, 2008, the exhibition is a thought-provoking examination of a prolific and innovative career that spanned more than 50 years.
Beginning with figurative paintings from the late 1940s, the exhibition traces the development of Kaprow's oeuvre through works from the mid-1950s which he called Action Collages and eventually led to the creation of all-encompassing Environments.
Integral to the exhibition are reinventions of Kaprow's unprecedented Happenings of the late 1950s to mid-1960s in which events replaced objects as the focus of the artwork and the spectator played a pivotal role in the realization of the work.
Having held faculty positions at the California Institute of the Arts and the University of California, San Diego, Kaprow had a particularly strong connection to the Southern California contemporary art scene and a profound impact on his students.

Back by popular demand, Muse Art and Design will once again host a two-day Sumi painting workshop, led by master Sumi painter Yuming Zhu.
Literally translated to black ink painting, Sumi uses an economy of brush strokes aiming to depict the spirit, rather than the semblance of an object.
Based in Seattle, Zhu comes to Portland to share the principles of Sumi at his two-day workshop entitled Sumi and Soul.
The weekend course will be held March 28-29, 2008 at The MuseRoom at 4136 SE Hawthorne Blvd.
