Plans revealed for medical centre in Doha
April 1st 2007 00:27
Qatar Foundation’s Sidra Medical and Research Centre revealed plans to combine cutting edge technology with an incandescent design to become the first academic medical and research centre in the region and will provide the highest standards of healthcare. The Sidra design is the creation of Pelli Clarke Pelli and the project’s executive architectural firm Ellerbe Becket. Both firms have created healthcare facilities around the world.
Sidra use a modern structure of steel, glass and white ceramic tile to achieve a dramatic design and landscaping includes three atriums that serve as indoor healing gardens – a unique feature that all patients will be able to view from their luxury rooms. The atriums divide the facility into three “hospitals within a hospital” – one for children, one for women and one for adults. To symbolize the importance of both tradition and progress the historic house will be preserved. Anticipated to open in late 2010, $7.9 billion has been endowed to the medical and research centre, the largest endowment of a medical centre anywhere in the world.

A Slap in the Face! Futurists in Russia
April 1st 2007 00:22
The first exhibition in England to focus on the complex and fascinating relationship between Russian and Italian Futurism is to be held at the Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, 39a Canonbury Square, London N1, from Wednesday 28 March until Sunday 10 June 2007.
A long overdue and comprehensive examination of the subject, A Slap in the Face! Futurists in Russia explores the energetic, creative and occasionally violent encounter of East and West in the arena of avant-garde art. These were cultural movements with powerful national characteristics.

Penny Kronengold: Museum Translations - New Paintings and Drawings
April 1st 2007 00:18
The First Street Gallery announces an exhibition of new work by Penny Kronengold which will open on Tuesday, March 27 and continue through Saturday, April 21. In this exhibition Kronengold returns to the figure of the horse. Her interest was renewed after coming upon the glass-encased horses and figures of the Hindu Gate, and unusual installation of 17th- and 19th- century Indian sculptures in the Museum of Natural History. The Central Park carousel and the armored horses in the Metropolitan Museum struck a similar chord. Many months of drawing proceeded the paintings.
Writings in The New York Sun and artcritical.com, David Cohen has noted that Kronengold's 'formal concerns amount to an almost alchemical duality of solid and transparent, mass, and fluidity. She draws extensively from lifeÖthen improvises with abandon at the easel. The result is an animated dialogue, at times, actually, a collision of intense drawing and ecstatic color.'
