  Ryman Auditorium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ryman Auditorium is a 2,362-seat live performance venue located at 116 Fifth Avenue North in Nashville, Tennessee, and is best-known as the one-time home of the Grand Ole Opry.
The Ryman then sat mostly vacant until 1994 when it was restored and reopened as a performance venue and museum.
The Ryman Auditorium was named Pollstar Magazine's National Theatre of the Year for both 2003 and 2004, beating out such venues as New York's Radio City Music Hall and Hollywood's Universal Amphitheater.

 Robert Ryman Essay   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
Robert Ryman's lifelong inquiry into the notion of painting as a medium and a verb—that is, into paint as a viscous material that articulates its support—began as early as the mid-1950s.
Ryman's aesthetic practice is further illuminated by his observation in the late 1960s that "there is never a question of what to paint, but only how to paint.
According to Ryman, the signature, "an accepted element of all painting," functions saliently here as a line meant to avert symbolism, and to prevent the painting from being mistaken as "trying to say something."5 Simultaneously a painted sign and an authorial one, the orange-toned signature is engulfed in the all-encompassing field of paint.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Was
Geoff Ryman's 1992 novel Was has now been re-released as part of Gollancz's Fantasy Masterworks series, even though it is neither a fantasy nor a masterwork, although, depending on how you look at it, it could come close to being either.

Ryman flips the world Baum coined, but on the other side of it all is not some revelation about fantasy or reality, but just another fantasy.

According to my TourBook, the Ryman was a beautiful old building in downtown Nashville that served as the original home of the Grand Ole Opry, the country radio show that's been on the air every Saturday night since before Moses parted the Red Sea.

The Grand Ole Opry show left the Ryman in the 1970s and moved into a glitzy, new auditorium out in the Nashville suburbs, and for the next 20 years, the Ryman sat empty and forlorn.

Dan Flavin's light works can be viewed in relation to Brancusi's use of pure white marble and brass that catches and intensifies ambient light.
Similarly, the paintings of Agnes Martin and Robert Ryman absorb or reflect light, offering variously stark or misty, meditative sensibilities.
Arp's pure white and totally abstract sculptures perfectly segue from Brancusi's own process of aesthetic reduction, and express the ideal, transcendent form to be found within all worldly things.
