by Gregg Chadwick Bowie Intergalactic Tribute Art Exhibit at the Neutra Museum (Curated by Dulce Stein) Gregg Chadwick Changes: David Bowie 41”x25.5” pastel on paper 2017 My pastel on paper artwork   Changes: David Bowie  will be on exhibit in a David Bowie tribute international multidisciplinary group show at The Neutra Museum in Silverlake. My artwork looks back on Bowie  when he released his haunting song   Where Are We Now?  which is as much a painting in soft greys as it is a song. A quiet rhythm of drums and synth warp and weft with minor key piano chords and Bowie's plaintive, elegiac voice. Set in a Berlin of memory and dream, Bowie's voice and lyrics question the themes of human bondage, release, freedom, doubt, ageing, and death. Bowie lived in West Berlin between 1976 and 1979 in the Schöneberg district in a house with Iggy Pop while Brian Eno and Tony Visconti were helping record Bowie's Berlin trilogy of albums Low, Heroes, and Lodger...

Actresses and their allies wore black to the Golden Globes to protest sexual harassment in Hollywood.
