Janet Lennie Flohr completed this labor-intensive photogravure suite shortly after the death of her mother, developing an intensely personal group of images that illustrate her mother's life and death. For the suite, Flohr created tableaux in her studio with tiny calaveras acting out scenes. She then photographed the scenes and used the photographs to create the suite. The exhibition is accompanied by a stop-action video of one tableaux with skeletons acting out a scene. www.mcnayart.org

Through August 7
Magik Theatre
420 S. Alamo

Based on the classic Grimm Brothers fairy tale, this musical spoof takes place long ago in the mountains of Central Mexico. The Duke of Valeciana and his daughter Snow White live in a palace high on the hill overlooking Guanajuato. One day the Duke brings home a beautiful but vain bride who carries with her an enchanted mirror. When the mirror tells the Duchess that Snow White is the "fairest of all" she becomes obsessed with getting rid of her stepdaughter. Snow White must flee the city where she befriends seven amigos who work the mines. They take her in and try to protect her, and the rest is a story that can only come to life onstage at The Magik Theatre. www.magiktheatre.org

Australian Art Collectors Face 'Kick in Guts' From Pension Plan
Bloomberg (6/28/10)
Angus Whitley
"John Cruthers says he's amassed more than 100 artworks to help fund his retirement. Australia's government may order the 56-year-old to ditch the lot. A pension shakeup aims to stop Cruthers and others who manage their own retirement savings from investing in art and order them to sell their collections within a decade. Artists, exhibitors and buyers in Australia predict the change will cause job losses, gallery closures and a slump in prices."
