Gatherr RSS

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.




ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

    The raids this week of some of the most important museums in Southern California (here at the Bowers Museum of Cultural Art) have shocked the Californian art world. There are allegations of a systematic involvement by some individuals in the smuggling of cultural artefacts from South East Asia. Allegations also include tax evasion schemes in which low cost art works would be valued at substantially greater sums and then donated to museums. The raids are the culmination of an undercover investigation in place since 2003. Investigations continue.
