KQED / San Francisco offers a 10-minute video on the
life and art of Viola
Frey, who passed away in 2004. In the February 18, 2004 Spark
show "From Life," viewers watch Frey working in her studio
on a series of colossal clay figures for a show in New York. Also
in the February 18 show, "photographer Olivier
Laude photographs his friends and acquaintances cast as characters in
elaborately conceived tableaux that spoof ethnographic portraits. Using
an unholy mix of beans, noodles and yarn, Jason
Mecier creates mosaic portraits of friends and celebs that are shockingly
realistic and endlessly entertaining."
