I just finished watching some of the PBS piece on the dissapearing bee populations around the world. It is very interesting and you should look for it when it re airs, it probably can be viewed on their website if you like watching an hour of footage. There is a really interesting bit on an area in China where the farmers are forced to hand pollinate their own pear orchards in order to have any sort of crop. Pesticides killed off all the bees and any other insect pollinators in the eighties. Its really fascinating. I like the idea of Richards piece being a more intimate and personal local story.

Flanders Art Gallery looking for submissions
Dear Director of MFA Students:
I am writing to you on behalf of Flanders Art Gallery. We are in the process of seeking out emerging artists and possible representation of their works. I hope that you may take the time to make our submission policy known to the members of your M.F.A. program.
Flanders Art Gallery is located in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. Raleigh is a growing metropolitan city with a blossoming art market. Since our opening last year, we have made a commitment to serving the area with art by regionally and nationally recognized artists. We hope to continue to do so, but we would also like to begin introducing this area to emerging professional artists.
If a student in your program is interested in submitting her/his work for consideration, then she/he should send a cv, an artists statement, and six to ten digital images of work through email or post to:
Attn: Artist Submissions
Flanders Art Gallery
18 Seaboard Ave., Ste. 160 Raleigh, NC 27604
At this point, we strongly encourage students with photography or other works on paper to apply.

I just read, Lady Jaye P-Orridge of Psychic TV passed away. Genesis P-Orridge and Lady Jaye were a fundamental influence in many punk and post punk bands and artists.
