Threats To World Music In The Age Of Travel Bans
"The situation is an active threat to the ability of global music artists to tour the United States— something that is often already complicated—and arrives, paradoxically, at a time when audiences are more easily immersed in international sounds than ever before. It seems like an opportune moment to consider the meaning and relevance of what has been called “world music,” as a global refugee crisis and a rise in nationalistic fervor in Europe, Russia, and the United Stat -
Should Anything Offensive Be Off Limits For Comedy?
"Comedy requires passage into the ugly, uncomfortable areas of the human heart, particularly in a live forum. So, in the manner of jesters before medieval kings, comics need a temporary pass, a stay of execution, to do their work. Calling oneself a comedian is tantamount to issuing a personal-injury disclaimer. Like philosophical BDSM, the audience’s response gives signals to the performer in play." -

Alex Good: We're In The Age Of The Intentional Non-Reader (What's That About?)
"Many believe we live in a post-literate age, one in which, writer Douglas Glover concludes, “books have become irrelevant.” Others disagree, some vehemently. His point is not, however, one I want to enter into a debate over. I don’t want to beat up on the degraded tastes of the common reader, analyse the impact of the digital revolution on reading habits, or make an appeal for the government to do more to address stubbornly high rates of illiteracy. What I find of most concern -
What post-internet art looks like in China
In the past ten years, reams have been written about post-internet art and how artists respond to the World Wide Web. A new show at the K11 Art Foundation Pop-up Space in Sheung Wan, entitled .com/.cn (until 30 April), aims to go further by exploring the regional differences within the digital ecosystem and their effect on contemporary art, say the curators, Peter Eleey and Klaus Biesenbach of MoMA PS1 in New York. This exhibition is about the fact that the World Wide Web is actually [made -

Samson Young sounds out the Venice Biennale
To have a conversation with Samson Young is to zip through the myriad topics that draw his curiosity, from literature to current affairs and history. His work asks specific questions about Hong Kong, where he was born in 1979, but also addresses universal themes, such as conflict and identity. Although sounds and music are often a starting point, he has made videos, installations, collages and drawings. He has, for instance, recorded sounds in the geographical area separating China and Hong Kon -
Never mind the billionaires—dealers at Art Basel in Hong Kong target the middle market
The Asian art market is often portrayed as a high-octane affair, driven by a handful of billionaires making big-ticket purchases, usually at auction. But most dealers at Art Basel in Hong Kong this year are firmly focused on the middle market, with most works priced well under $500,000. The aim, dealers say, is to appeal to a range of audiences and budgets in a market that is still emerging. Billionaires are being created in Asia at a rate of one every three days, but it is the affluent up -
Lion-dancers splash the cash at Hauser & Wirth’s birthday party

Mark Bradford, Phyllida Barlow and Martin Creed were among the onlookers as traditional Chinese lion dancers performed an elaborate routine on poles in the street (local buses ground to a halt to watch). The biggest thrill of the night came when a lion ate a paper cabbage and -
Interest in Middle Eastern art is on the rise in China
Interest in Middle Eastern art in China is on the rise, if slowly. Though local and Western art remains dominant, Chinas fast-proliferating museums are becoming more receptive to art from other regions, and this growing curiosity coincides with the rising international attention to the Middle East and its art. However, a preference for the established canon and safe names remains entrenched, and the shift is gradual. Last week, a showing at Shanghais Rockbund Art Museum of the Solomon R. Guggen -
In pictures: Encounters at Art Basel in Hong Kong
Space is paramount in the Encounters section of Art Basel in Hong Kong, where each large-scale installation occupies up to 100 square metres. But time is equally important to Alexie Glass-Kantor, the curator of Encounters for the third year running. All but one of the 17 works she has chosen12 of them new commissionsline what she calls the fairs four meridians. The name recalls the concept in Chinese medicine by which energy flows through the body as well as the longitudes that divide the worlds -
Guide to Asian pavilions at the 2017 Venice Biennale
In the two years since the last Venice Biennale, powerful anti-globalisation movements have taken root worldwide, driving geopolitical events that few saw coming. By accident or design, many of the Asian artists participating in the forthcoming 57th Venice Biennale (13 May-26 November) will address notions of identity and cultural preservation through their national pavilion exhibitions. While this should not be mistaken for crude nationalism or chest-beating patriotism, it does suggest that th -
Emperor’s collection of dodos and dragons to go on display at the Rijksmuseum
A collection of 750 remarkably well-preserved watercolours of plants and animalsboth real and imaginaryassembled for Rudolf II, the Holy Roman Emperor from 1576 to 1612, is due to go on long-term loan to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The set, put together at Rudolfs court in Prague between 1596 and 1610, was bought by a private collector at Tefaf Maastricht, which closed on 19 March.It is rare for works made for Rudolf II to come on the market, says Taco Dibbits, the director of the Rijksmuseum -

Siobhan Burke Talks About How Dance In America Is Changing
"Dance tends to be marginalized in our culture. For many people, it’s not as much a part of everyday life as movies, TV, music or books. I have friends who are incredibly knowledgeable about art and literature, but when I mention major dance figures like Isadora Duncan or Merce Cunningham, they don’t know who they are. For dance writing to be more viable, dance needs to be more centralized somehow, so it’s not seen as esoteric and inaccessible, or, on the flip side, as purely f -

Photos of Guercino painting, rolled up like a rug by thieves, reveal extent of damage
The first photographs of the Guercino painting stolen from an Italian church in 2014, which was recently recovered in Casablanca, show the extent of damage to the work. Reports in the Italian and Moroccan press suggest that the 17th-century depiction of the Virgin Mary and two saints has lost around a third of its surface paint. The majority of losses appear to be on the lower part of the canvas. But any restoration work will have to wait until the picture returns to Italy. Italian and North Af -
Did An Artist Opportunity High Atop The World Trade Center Turn Into Artist Exploitation?
“To do a project on the 69th floor of the World Trade Center has been beneficial to a lot of us. You’ve gotta be pretty dumb not to think the floor’s not going to get rented out eventually, and that whoever probably took it wasn’t going to want the artwork. Of course they’re going to want the artwork. But never did Silverstein say they were ever going to use it for marketing to rent the place.” -

The Magician Who's A Conceptual Artist
"[Derek] DelGaudio devises performances that combine sleight-of-hand with more theoretical preoccupations drawn from performance art, conceptual art and what's known as relational aesthetics ... [He] likes to nod to well-known conventions (pick a card, any card), only to slyly deconstruct them, in a manner that either heightens or thwarts their payoffs. His animating goal is not for observers to ask, 'How did he do that?' but, 'Why?'" -
Deborah Borda On Leaving LA And On Saving The NEA
Here's the great irony: the budget of the Los Angeles Philharmonic is now about $120 million a year. The total amount of money we get from the National Endowment for the Arts is about $150,000. So it's less than one percent of our budget. So we — the New York Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic — both of these orchestras will move ahead because that's about the level that big orchestras receive from the NEA. Who is going to be terribly hurt are the smaller organizations in thi -

There's A Backlash Against Online Teaching. That May Not Be Fair
"The stereotype that online instruction is less rigorous, or that students cannot be engaged in it with appropriate rigor, isn’t borne out by my experience. Anyone who’s taught an on-the-ground class has looked out into the classroom and seen boredom or disconnection. By comparison, my online students were choosing when to log on to do their work. They seemed very tuned in when they did." -
If Trump Axes This Program, 'The Quality And Standing Of All American Museums Would Diminish Overnight' - And The Program Costs Almost Nothing
The NEA's Arts and Artifacts Indemnity Program has saved museums hundreds of millions in insurance premiums and made possible countless high-profile exhibitions that couldn't have happened without it. But if the NEA is shut down, this program will be shut down with it - and there is no private-sector alternative. -

It opened four years later at The Theater Center, an off-Broadway complex in the heart of Times Square, where it will end after a run of 4,390 shows." -
Today's Composers Have Made The Concerto An Exciting Form Again
