Gorgeous site.

Personally, I find the minimalism on this home page to have a strong 
artistic appeal, perfect for an arts related site.  Placing more text 
on it would diminish the beauty of it's initial striking impact.

Cross navigation:  worked for me.

I'm not sure I buy this two-color rule, I've seen lots of sites that 
are great with less.  I'm not one who would like to see red on the 
home page.

Load time:  no problem here.

Centering:  I like centered sites, because they don't look as queer 
at higher resolutions as aligned upper left sites (all jammed in the 
upper left).

Though some people don't like white on black, I founnd it striking. 
It might be more legible if you either bumped it up one size, bolded, 
or switched to arial.

I second the reduced scrolling.

I think it is generally accepted that a copyright notice is 
pointless, your copyright infringement rights are the same whether 
you have a notice on your page or not, so drop it.

There is statistical research that shows that web surfers are going 
to spend less time on your site if it has a counter.  Consider useing 
server logs for your information, or use an invisible counter.

No need to advertise for microsoft.

Gorgeous!
