Chemainus Arts Society elects new board ahead of 25th anniversary - Ladysmith Chronicle

“Go slow, find joy,” is the motto behind a weekly movement class being offered at St. Michaels and All Angels Church in Chemainus. “It’s movement that goes very slow, kind of a meditative movement where you become aware of how you move so you can reorganize yourself to move with greater comfort, more ease, even elegantly,” said Jeffery Wilson, who leads the class.

A Chemainus based manufacturing company has been given three more months to bring its property into compliance with North Cowichan bylaws before the municipality considers placing a Notice on Title. Council unanimously agreed at the Sept. 2 meeting to defer consideration of the Notice on Title for West Coast Pre Fab at its River Road location, after an appeal from their Chief Financial Officer Chantal Clarke for more time to complete outstanding permitting, environmental and engineering work.

A Swedish auction house will sell an abstract painting by Hilma af Klint, an artist whose work almost never comes to market. The painting, titled Ser III No. 5 (1920), will be sold by the Stockholm-based Bukowskis house during a November 19 sale of modern art and design objects. It has been given an estimate of $600,000–$800,000, and if it reaches even its low estimate, the work will shatter af Klint’s prior auction record.

Earlier this month, the real estate company 320 E 82nd Owner, LLC filed a petition seeking to compel socialite art collector Libbie Mugrabi and the auction house Phillips to turn over an untitled 1982 Jean-Michel Basquiat painting in the latter’s possession in order to satisfy a $2.3 million judgment. New York County Supreme Court judge Linda M. Capitti pushed the petition forward last week, approving an order on October 14 preventing the sale or transfer of the Basquiat and compelling Mugrabi and Phillips to appear in court on November 17 to show cause for why the Basquiat—as well as Mugrabi’s 100 percent membership interest in Moo Moo Enterprises, Inc., which holds the work—should not be turned over to satisfy the debt. Mugrabi has yet to respond to the petition or the judge’s order.
