Showcase

Over the last 50 years, technology has developed beyond the wildest sci-fi dreams. This has almost entirely changed the way we communicate. From millions of pixels shared online every day, to the arts and culture scene turning its face towards visual arts paintings, sculptures, installations. Visual culture is in its prime. But what if you cannot see any of these artworks? Does it mean you will never have the opportunity to experience art? Well, one artist in Switzerland is working to make sure this is not the case, one sculpture at a time.

From the first movie with an all-black cast that picked up the best picture Oscar to the first black superhero film. It seems like experiencing a kind of golden age of black cinema. It kicked off sometime back at the turn of the 1990s when black filmmakers brought the modern realities of everyday African-Americans to the big screen.

Ibrahim Mahama has built a stellar reputation as a contemporary artist who collects objects others might dismiss. Born in Ghana, the 32-year-old is considered one of the brightest lights in Africa. He was one of the leading attractions at this year's Venice Biennale and his most recent exhibition 'Parliament of Ghosts' in Manchester is where Showcase's Miranda Atty caught up with him.

Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is known for channelling his own love of cinema into his movies. In True Romance, his main hero was a film buff. In 'Inglorious Basterds', a film critic masterminded the assassination of Adolf Hitler in a movie theatre. And Tarantino's latest offering follows two movie industry workers trying to make a living in Hollywood in 1969. A year that as Alican Pamir tells, shaped Tarantino's cinematic style.

Quentin Tarantino, the video store clerk turned director, is not the first filmmaker to tell stories about what goes on behind the camera. From Francois Truffaut to Federico Fellini, many international directors have also laid bare the good, the bad and the ugly of the film business. Alican Pamir brings five of his favourite pics that pay tribute to the glory of the motion picture industry.

The cheerful, curly-haired guy with the brush and the easel painting dreamy landscapes using the most basic of techniques. It is not wrong to say Bob Ross is one of television's biggest sensations. His programme 'The Joy of Painting' ran for eleven years and four hundred episodes. So, where are all those paintings now?
