BAM/PFA is a kool thing. Those of you who, 19 years after the unofficial “k” shift, are still spelling “cool” like your parents, well, you might as well just stop reading now. Not only was the Bancroft museum purposely built to house tall, well-dressed people who thrive amidst the color gray, but apparently music sounds sounds good there too. Hence, the launch ofFriday L@te Nights at BAM, which will include booze, music, artsy guests and kultural stimulation of all sorts. The events below: read more »

A surprising number of people don’t realize that the Brutalist concrete chunk on Bancroft Way next to Caffe Strada is Berkeley’s own art museum. It doesn’t exactly scream “soothing gallery space,” at least from the outside, which is why we were way excited when we heard that we were getting a new one–designed by “modern-day Japanese luminary” Toyo Ito, no less. read more »

When you think of a typical Valentine’s Day, a few things come to mind: hearts, chocolates, cute, pint-sized animals and … video conferencing?
This Thursday at the Cafe Muse, the Berkeley Center for New Media and the Berkeley Art Museum invite you to share a romantic lunch with a loved one via a video conference-enabled laptop. For a paltry price of $16, food (Chinese chicken salad!) and drink (soda and juice!) is provided. The video date requires a laptop, a webcam, video-conferencing software, and (oh, right) a warm, breathing human date. With all the gizmo gadgetry involved, we almost forgot about that last one.

What can you do with a major in art history? To answer this question, take a trip to the career website and look at the dreary post-graduation statistics for art history majors. It’s no wonder why Jon Markell–a Cal art history alumnus–chose the road of desperation by pursuing an adventurously profitable (albeit, temporary) starring role in “Indiana Jones and the Tax Deductible Artifacts!”
According to The Daily Californian, Jon Markell and his wife, Cari–both owners of the Silk Roads Gallery in Southern California–inflated the appraisals of stolen Southeast Asian artifacts for smuggler Robert Olsen. This allowed for profit whenever the couple assisted Olsen with museum donations, whose recipients may include the Berkeley Art Museum.
