The Architecture and Design Center, Edwards Harris Pavilion will reopen with The Modern Chair exhibition which follows a chronology of the development of the modern chair starting with the famous Thonet “B-9” bentwood armchair (circa 1905), which is widely considered the first modern chair. Le Corbusier used it frequently in his early architectures as there was no other modern furniture readily available at the time. The modern chair will trace the evolution from the first cantilevered example of Mart Stam, on to the designs of the present times. Technological and stylistic advancements have driven chair design forward at breakneck speed in the 20th century like never before. The exhibition will also contain important examples from the 21st century.
This exhibition is organized by the Palm Springs Art Museum and curated by Brad Dunning, specialist in architecture and design, with the support of Rochelle Steiner.
Main sponsorship of this exhibition provided by Elizabeth Edwards Harris and Trina Turk.
Funded by Allred Collaborative, Geoffrey De Sousa & José Manuel Alorda, Melissa Morgan Fine Art, Mimi & Steve Fisher, David Knaus & Mark Ingram, Sarah McElroy, Tim Prendergast & Christopher Mizeski (Christopher Anthony Ltd.), Modern Hacienda, Palm Springs Life, Ronnie Sassoon & James Crump, Bonnie Serkin & Will Emery, Cindra & Rod Stolk.
Additional funding is also provided by Fred & Nancy Baron, Robert Campbell – Realtor & Donald Daniels, Jane Emison & Mike Tierney, Amanda & Michael Erlinger, Robert D. Kleinschmidt, Nancy Sinatra, Rebecca & Phillip Smith.

Whether or not you are currently locked out, many of the world’s most exciting and wonderful attractions are currently off-limits. Fortunately – in these times of self-isolation, social distancing and closed borders – many museums, galleries and monuments around the world offer virtual tours.
Want to browse the collections of the National Gallery of Victoria? See the Smithsonian dinosaur fossils? Discover the Sistine Chapel? It’s just as easy by clicking a few buttons. Whether you fancy exploring Japan’s bright digital art museum or viewing cute creatures in a zoo, you can spend a night – or a day – at a museum, gallery, or other place of cultural significance in the comfort of your sofa.
Here are ten highlights to get you started – and if you like others, Google Arts and Culture will point you towards even more.
THE LOUVRE
Nothing really compares to visiting the Louvre and standing in front of the Mona Lisa yourself, your eyes roaming the enigmatic smile of the work painted by Leonardo da Vinci. Now, for the first time, the Parisian place allows you to live it virtually with a Mona Lisa VR experience. If you’re equipped with a next-level VR setup, you can explore many of the gallery’s exhibits online. Via sound virtual options, stroll through exhibitions exploring the relationship between art and political power, Renaissance works of art and myths told through art.
VAN GOGH MUSEUM
If you missed Van Gogh Alive’s first round of Australian exhibitions, the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam is home to the largest collection of the artist’s work in the world, including over 200 paintings, 500 drawings and 750 letters. It’s a large table, which you can look at yourself via Virtual tour of Google Arts & Culture. Yes, Sunflowers is one of them, although there is much inimitable art also on display in his other still lifes, landscapes and other painted scenes. Move at your own pace, then zoom in to see details and read the accompanying descriptive plaques. And if you want to get a glimpse first, you can check out the museum YouTube visit also.
TEAMLAB SANS FRONTIERS DIGITAL ART MUSEUM
The word ‘immersive’ is used too often these days, but if anywhere deserves the term, it’s TeamLab’s borderless digital art museum. Sprawled out in a Tokyo warehouse, this eye-catching place fills every available surface with moving, shifting and interactive artwork – so you can watch the flowers bloom on the floor, walls and ceiling; then sit back and watch the ocean waves crash across a room; then walk through the illuminated water lilies. Or, thanks to its wide range of Youtube videos, you can get a taste of her vibrant installations right from your home. TeamLab’s online archive also includes documents from its many other exhibits beyond the borders of its Tokyo base, and while each is only a minute or two long, there is plenty to choose from. Also make sure your sound is on.
THE SMITHSONIAN
As you experience a historic global event, why not spend some time exploring the natural history of the planet? That’s what the Smithsonian is all about, with over 145 million specimens and artifacts in its collections. And while you can’t see them all in her online visit, you can virtually browse its current, previous and permanent views. It means dinosaurs, of course. Watching the spikes of a Stegosaurus or the face of a Tyrannosaurus Rex is always so impressive when you do it through your phone or computer. It also means everything from butterflies and bones to gems and the origins of mankind – and, if that’s not too dark for you right now, there’s also an exhibit dedicated to epidemics, epidemics and the spread of disease.
NATIONAL GALLERY OF VICTORIA
Perhaps you are a Melburnian who wanted to visit the current major exhibitions of the National Gallery of Victoria. You may live elsewhere, but you’ve taken a trip to the Victorian capital in the future, including the NGV. With the gallery currently closed, this is obviously irrelevant; However, you can still take a peek at last year’s blockbuster. Triennial, the Tiwi Islands off Darwin and Japanese modernism. Head to the new NGV channel, where curatorial tours are added to the online library on an ongoing basis. A whopping 75,000 pieces of the CNG collection are also available, so you will really feel like you are there.
Think you know what all museums and art galleries look like in general terms? Think again. The Museu de Arte de São Paulo, or MASP, doesn’t just put its many works of art on its walls. Instead, he places them on sheets of crystal anchored by concrete blocks, in a design meant to mimic an artist’s easel, then spreads them out in large cavernous rooms. It makes looking at the site’s paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other items a whole different experience, even when you’re doing it online. If you take the tour via the Google Arts and Culture for iOS or Android, you can also explore a VR component to really feel like you’re there.
The Sistine Chapel has as many breathtaking works of art as any other gallery or museum. More than some, in fact. And, via the Vatican Online Tour, you can walk it for as long as you want – and admire the immense detail in Michelangelo’s wall-to-wall frescoes, of course – with no crowds or time limits. These pieces have sparkled for more than five centuries and, as everyone knows, they make quite a spectacle. Once you are done browsing, scrolling and zooming, you can also explore other Vatican Museums, Wings and Chapels thanks to the rest of its virtual offers. If you are not only fond of art and sculpture, but also architecture, then prepare to be in your element.
SYDNEY OPERA
When it comes to visiting the Sydney Opera House without visiting it physically, there are several viewing options available online. Take the 360 degree tour, and you can walk through Australia’s most iconic monument at your own pace –and also discover a number of exhibitions online. You can watch the YouTube video tour accompanied by a soundtrack that usually resonates in opera houses, or broadcast a range of concerts and lectures on its new streaming service. No matter how you explore, you’ll see the place like you’ve never seen it before, which is one of the joys of going virtual. You can’t look around every nook and cranny while you’re at it, but, via remote means, who is going to stop you?
BLARNEY CASTLE
Who doesn’t want to be locked in a castle now? Dating back to 1210 originally and 1446 in its present form, Irish Castle at Blarney is among the best of them – and, as the name suggests, it is home to a very famous attraction. Sitting atop its tower, the Blarney Stone is believed to endow anyone who embraces it with the gift of eloquence. You can’t virtually lock your lips with it, of course, but maybe looking at the site in general will do the same? On the castle online visit, you’ll also explore its stony interiors and sprawling gardens (and you’ll probably feel like you’ve fallen into an episode of Game Of Thrones).
SAN DIEGO ZOO
Sometimes it’s enough to watch adorable animals go about their business. In fact, as the endless stream of cat and dog videos on the internet shows, there’s never a bad time to lock your peepers on a cute creature. Absolutely everyone feels that way, because of course it does – that’s where Live webcams from the San Diego Zoo, who scan several animal enclosures throughout the day, enter. Watch majestic elephants swinging their trunks, watch African penguins frolic and see polar bears dozing merrily. You can also catch monkeys and baboons for your monkey fix, see condors flying, and get a fix of big cats in the tiger enclosure. Oh, and if you want to spend some time watching an Australian animal, there’s a koala camera as well.
The new exhibitions officially open Thursday during Art After Hours, a monthly event that allows the public to enter the museum after normal opening hours. Thursday’s rally will take place from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.
“For Keeps: Selections from the Permanent Collection” will be on display until September 25 with “Self-taught”, an exhibition of American folk art from the permanent collection and featuring works by Mose “T” Tolliver, Woodie Long, Jimmy Lee Sudduth, William Dawson and Bernie Sims – all self-taught artists.
Also from the permanent collection, a series of botanical prints by artist Alice Mason – known for her abstract paintings – will be on display until the end of the year.
“I found them in a box, and these are pieces of a sketchbook,” Lemmer said. “From the notes I found, she just experimented with different things, and I think this work must have come from a book she was experimenting with printmaking techniques.”
But art collections don’t have to be limited to museum walls or vaults. Upcoming Wiregrass Museum of Art exhibits showcase not only the museum’s permanent collection, but also art from a private collector from Alabama on loan to the museum.
“Beautiful Work If You Can Get It” features an eclectic mix of artwork, including sculptures created with metal tools. Some of the pieces are by artists whose works are also part of the museum’s collection, such as Dale Lewis’ caricature of the lips “Queen of the Lipstack”.
PENHOLD, ALTA. – An Alberta family is honoring the life and legacy of their father this weekend by selling a historic collection of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs dating as far back as the 1800s.
The late Lee Bowie of Penhold, Alta. Began purchasing the unique units almost 60 years ago in what has become one of the largest and most incredible private collections in North America.
“He was the kind of person who liked to fix things up and he really liked working with horses and dogs, so the collection started out as a bit of a hobby,” said Greg, Lee Bowie’s eldest son. .
“It all started with a car he discovered in southern Saskatchewan behind a barn and it grew from there. “
Lee Bowie died in January at the age of 90, but left 27 horse-drawn carriages and sleds behind. The collection will now increase for online auction in the sale of his property to Penhold, located just 120 kilometers north of Calgary.
Her daughter Kim says each car has a unique historical value and many memories that stretch back to her childhood.
“Four generations have enjoyed riding the sleds and buggies,” she said.
“Dad used to take mum on evening carriage rides in a buggy with the surrey on top and down country roads. All the neighbors would think he was a big romantic guy and he sort of was, but also a tough cowboy.
Some of the more unique carts include an original McLaughlin Cutter cart. The company was at one point known as the largest manufacturer of horse-drawn strollers in the British Empire and eventually got into the automotive industry with General Motors Canada.
Greg says another of his personal favorites is the Newfoundland Taxi, built in 1890.
“There are only a few left in the world, like maybe three and one of them is selling in this sale,” he said.
“At that time they were driving on the left side of the street, so the sled or taxi is open on the left side and the passengers are seated on the side and the driver is at the back of the unit with the queues. waiting in front of passengers. . “
The public were invited to view the cars on Saturday in person at the Bowie Estate in Penhold, but the auction itself is taking bids online until June 21.
Robert Klatt of Prairie Auction Services says more than 2,000 people have registered to participate in the auction.
“It has garnered a lot of attention from states in the northern United States and across Canada, even as far as Ontario and Quebec,” Klatt said.
“It’s pretty amazing to see and some people I spoke to woke up at 5 am this morning just to come because there aren’t too many opportunities like this.”
One of those people who woke up early was Miles Wowk, who drove the three hour drive just east of Vegreville.
“A lot of these coins are 100 or 120 years old, so where do you go to find such an old coin? It’s a piece of history, you buy a piece of history and that’s how the West was colonized. “

On January 21, 2021, the Tackling Racism in London task force recommended that the City of London, a city governing body that oversees the city’s historic center, remove two controversial statues from its Guildhall headquarters. To make this recommendation, the task force consulted over 1,500 members of the public on colonial monuments in the region.
It comes shortly after UK Housing and Local Government Secretary Robert Jenrick vowed to introduce legislation that would make it harder for local authorities to remove monuments, as monuments should not be removed “to the demand for screaming crowds “. In this bill, the last word will go to the government.
