ken grimes


Since decades ken grimes paints his statements and theories about the contact to aliens and extraterrestrial intelligence on the canvas. He refers to the roman “contact” by carl sagan  (american astrophysicist and writer) or he quotes important passages from the novels of bertram chandler (australian science fiction author) in which one of the protagonists is also called grimes. He writes with pencil on his canvas and then paints the background black, the color of the universe. The message will then appear in white, the color of truth, so grimes.

yale


Actually new haven could also be named yale city, because these elite college continues to shape the cityscape not only in an architectural way. New haven has also a great museum (yale university art museum), where headless romans are displayed under the same roof as african- and contemporary art. This museum is a „must see“ in new haven and there is even no entrance fee. I was overwelmed by the artwork of  jean-michel basquiat who passed away in the age of just 28 years. © n.g.
