FONDATION PIERRE BERGE YVES SAINT LAURENT: Jun 6, 4:35pm 3 reviews
http://www.fondation-pb-ysl.net/; Yves Saint Laurent May 29 to September 28, 2008 The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco have designed and developed, in partnership with the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent, the first retrospective spanning the forty years of creation of the Maison de haute couture Yves Saint Laurent. Presented from May 29 to September 28, 2008, the exhibition Yves Saint Laurent focusses on this virtuoso of haute couture, whose unique style blends references to the world of art with allusions to pop culture and social revolution. Structured around four themes, the exhibition develops the revolutionary nature of a body of work that has marked both the past and the present with a new definition of femininity and left a signature that transcends fashion. The display will include 145 accessorized creations belonging to the Fondation Pierre Bergé - Yves Saint Laurent, as well as drawings and videos. After Montreal, the exhibition (which is the first co-production of these two museums) will be presented at the de Young Museum of San Francisco, from November 1, 2008, to March 1, 2009.

Rijksmuseum Amsterdam Schiphol - Rijksmuseum Amsterdam - National Museum …: May 1, 3:40pm 1 review arts, museum
http://www.rijksmuseum.nl/tentoonstellingen/schiphol?lang=en; 9 April to 7 July 2008 Eight paintings by Vincent van Gogh, including the famous Almond Tree in Blossom (1888), will be presented at Rijksmuseum's branch at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol from 9 April to 7 July 2008 in an exhibition entitled Vincent van Gogh: Nature Close-Up. All the paintings have been provided by the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. The show highlights how Vincent van Gogh took his own remarkable approach to nature, by effectively zooming in on his subject. The presentation can be seen at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (airside area, between piers E and F) and offers a unique opportunity for passengers at the airport to view the artist's work away from the Van Gogh Museum.

Penguin Reading Guides | The Sea, The Sea | Iris Murdoch: Mar 31, 4:31pm 2 reviews philosophy, novel
http://us.penguingroup.com/static/rguides/us/sea_the_sea.html; Around this barb of (unheeded) reflection swirls the rich maelstrom of fantasies, plots, delusions, mind games, and awakenings that makes up Iris Murdoch's popular 1978 Booker Prize-winning novel, The Sea, The Sea. As both a philosopher and a novelist, Murdoch always concerned herself in some way or another with the struggle to develop moral goodness and the concomitant effort to vanquish obsessive self-regard. In The Sea, The Sea, she dramatizes this characteristic moral concern to great effect on a stage crowded with self-absorbed artistic Londoners out of their element in a small seaside village. As she explores the potent mixture of power, illusion, and self-delusion in retired actor, playwright, and theater director Charles Arrowby, Murdoch weaves a rich tapestry of startling events: old love affairs revive and die again, friendships sour into attempted murder, hallucinations (or are they?) portend ominous happenings, and the drowning embrace of the sea waits restlessly in the background. As Charles negotiates the turbulent swirl of events, an intricate portrait develops of a man bewitched and bewildered by his own powers of self-promotion and manipulation...
