'Representation does matter': the rise of Latin American art in museums
In a number of new exhibitions, increased visibility for Latin American artists continues to challenge the status quoLatin American artists haven’t always been allowed into centre stage. Pushed to the sidelines of mainstream art history, artists like Zilia Sánchez were overlooked from the New York art scene in the 1960s, while Latinx artists have only recently gained attention from blockbuster museums.

Should you ever send nude pictures taken for an old lover to a new partner?
Take it from art history: if someone demands daily visual evidence of your naked bona fides, they probably have a very narrow definition of the desirableWhat do you say if you send a nude selfie to a lover and they discover it was taken, say, two months ago? Is it cheating? Look, I was born way back in the 20th century. You may as well have asked the late Sister Wendy about contemporary dating. But according to Cosmopolitan, sending an explicit selfie past its stare-by date to a new lover really -
UK museums should be honest about being stuffed with stolen goods | Alice Procter
Institutions need to be transparent about their legacies of imperialism and theft – and confront the issue of repatriationMuseums are in crisis. In the past, their social role has been taken for granted – they’re spaces for preserving objects and educating the deferential public that comes to admire them. It’s a tidy, completist dream: wouldn’t it be nice to see the whole of human history, free and open to all? Related: Museums grapple with rise in pleas for return -

From foil-wrapped glaciers to the Alpine storm cyclist: the artists fighting climate change
After too long a silence, art is finally tackling global warming. Here are the big players – including the photographer who’s lighting up AlaskaIn 1975, photographer Michel Comte stood up before scientists, business leaders and politicians at the Club of Rome to deliver a speech about the climate disaster he believed was on the horizon. Back then, he was still a student, and a little nervous – but he could sense the future. Now, Comte’s recent works incorporating black ca -

What If We’re Trying To Find The Theory Of Everything In The Wrong Places?
via ArtsJournal“The ascension to the tenth level of intellectual heaven would be if we find the question to which the universe is the answer, and the nature of that question in and of itself explains why it was possible to describe it in so many different ways.” It’s as though physics has been turned inside out. It now appears that the answers already surround us. It’s the question we don’t know. – The New Yorker -
What are Our Writing Tools Doing To Writing? (And Reading?)

How Your Body And Your Brain Work Together To Perceive The World
via ArtsJournalIf you pay attention to your heart and bodily responses, they can tell you how you are feeling, and allow you to share in the emotions of others. Interoception can enhance the depth of our own emotions, emotionally bind us to those around us, and guide our intuitive instincts. We are now learning just how much the way we think and feel is shaped by this dynamic interaction between body and brain. – Aeon -

Here’s A Good Primer On The Challenges (And Accomplishments So Far) Of Artificial Intelligence
via ArtsJournalIn his masterpiece, “The Lady of Shalott”, Alfred Tennyson describes a character from the Arthurian legend who is cursed to remain in a tower, looking at the world only through a mirror, and weaving the “mirror’s magic sights” into her web. AI today is, it seems, in its Lady of Shalott stage, trying to weave four-dimensional reality into a two-dimensional web by looking into the dim, distorting, and often deceptive mirror of data. – 3 Quarks Daily -

Classical Music Is Broken Online. What iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music And The Others Should Do About It
via ArtsJournalIt’s difficult to find music, hard to catalog, and just an overall pain in the neck to manage.

As far as modern commercial music, we don’t group the past 50 years together” – Mac Rumors -
Why Do The Covers Of Novels Always Have The Phrase ‘A Novel’ On Them?
via ArtsJournal“Books have used the ‘XYZ: A Novel’ format since the 17th century, when realistic fiction started getting popular. The term ‘novel’ was a way to distinguish these more down-to-earth stories from the fanciful ‘romances’ that came before … Then, as now, it was a tag that identified the kind of literature you were getting yourself into.” – Vox -
Heavy Metal Has A Nazi Problem. But What To Do About It?

Is it curtailing their free speech to make it harder for a band to get booked or get signed versus at what point does it become critical to keep these dangerous Fascist elements out of our scene? At what point is that record worth so much to you that you would buy it knowing that you were actively contributing to something that is harming other people?” & -
Salvaging Alan Jay Lerner’s Biggest Flop, A Musical ‘Lolita’
via ArtsJournalThink that’s a ghastly idea for a Broadway show? So did audiences in 1971, when try-out audiences in Philadelphia and Boston hated Lolita, My Love so much that the Broadway run was called off. But the producers of an upcoming staged reading in New York, with a revised book and a new framing device, aim to find out if audiences are finally ready for the show (with the changes, at least). – The New York Times -
The Salvador Mundi Has Disappeared. Where Is It?
via ArtsJournalWhere the Salvator Mundi is now, no one is quite sure. Locked away in a store room in the Abu Dhabi Louvre, perhaps? Or being pored over in a laboratory somewhere by scientists and art experts determined to prove it is authentic? Or even hanging on the wall in a grand salon in a Saudi Palace, a reminder of a moment of madness. Many art lovers are left wondering if it will ever be seen again. – The Daily Mail (UK) -

What Comedy Tells Us About Ourselves — And How We’re Changing
via ArtsJournalScholar of comedy Matthew McMahan: “Just as Michel Foucault encourages historians to look to moments of rupture and discontinuity when trying to decipher how a culture thinks and acts, I suggest students of comedy look to the moments when a successful joke simply stops landing with its audience. The moment when a loud guffaw quickly shifts to an appalled gasp can tell us a lot about how a culture is changing.” – HowlRound -

After Series Of Flops, Amazon Re-Orients Its Filmmaking Product Line
