APPLAUSE this week features digital artist Ben Kinsley, who specializes in sound and music performance, video, animation, and installation. Kinsley visits APPLAUSE to discuss his unique multi media creations, some of which were included in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s “NEO 2005: The Art and The Artists” show and are on display this month at Cleveland's new Hyacinth Gallery. Then, local, self-taught artist Hector Vega stops by to talk about his signature style of bold colors and geometric patterns. Plus, the Temple Scroll (Dead Sea Scroll) is a part of the Cradle of Christianity: Treasures from the Holy Land exhibit at the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage beginning April 1. The exhibition marks the first time it has ever been on display outside of Israel. The Museum’s executive director will be in-studio to share the history of this artifact, its importance to the newly opened museum, and to northeast Ohio.
