The dynamics of the digital are encouraging authors , journalists , musicians and artists to treat the fruits of intellects and imaginations as fragments to be given without pay to the hive mind. ]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:26:00</pubDate></item><item><title>Exhibit looks at enigmatic phase in Matisse's art</title><link>http://t.love.com/311001810</link><description><![CDATA[A new exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago takes a close - sometimes even microscopic - look at one short and enigmatic phase in the 65-year-long artistic career of France's Henri Matisse. 


Matisse, who lived from 1869 to 1954, is often seen as the least controversial and the most serene of the great 20th century modernists. 
Though his occasional early sculptures are darker, Matisse's paintings and prints seem to live in a sunny place outside of time. ]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 20 Mar 2010 11:26:00</pubDate></item><item><title>Area Scouts will be collecting food on Saturday, March 27, as part of their annual Scouting for Food project.

The epic 18-foot-high fence - made of 240,000 square yards of heavy, woven, white nylon fabric on 2,050 steel poles - ran for more than 24 miles before disappearing into the Pacific. 
It took the Belgian artist Christo Javacheff and his wife, Jeanne-Claude, 42, who died last year, months to complete the project.
