• Portland Loses An Arts Institution – And It Happened Out Of Sight Of The Community

  20-02-2019 23:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Closing the college and selling off the campus is the worst possible outcome for just about everybody. It ends a craft community and keeps anyone else from ever joining it. Sometimes, your community isn’t large or committed enough to go on, and then, yes, that’s the end of things. But asking your community to help you figure it all out should be the prior step.” – Oregon Arts Watch

• Here’s How Brexit Will Impact The Business Of Art

  20-02-2019 22:04 via feedproxy.google.com
  One example: Tornabuoni Art, a high-end dealership with galleries in six locations in Britain, France and Italy, now plans to close its current London exhibition of 20th-century abstracts by Alberto Burri and Lucio Fontana on March 9, three weeks earlier than scheduled. The 40 works in the show have a value of about 70 million euros, or $79 million, which would attract a tax bill of €7 million if shipped back to Italy after Britain drops out of the European Union’s free trade zone, b

• Forget Living Your Best Life — Here’s An Argument For Living The Good-Enough Life

  20-02-2019 21:03 via feedproxy.google.com
  Western philosophers from Aristotle to Kant to Marx to Ayn Rand (okay, bear with us here) may have differed on what constitutes greatness, but all of them held it as an ideal. Avram Albert argues for a different goal, one espoused by Buddhist thinkers and Romantics (and which we might call the Lake Wobegon ideal): good enough. And even that is difficult. – The New York Times

• Should We Bother Restoring Old Castles And Palaces?

  20-02-2019 20:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  Castles, in particular, were instruments of war and occupying or levelling them was the goal of invading armies. In many cases, the castles were then taken over by the victors and re-purposed, but many were dismantled, particularly when the structure could no longer repel attacks by cannon.  – The Art Newspaper

• Why Karl Lagerfield Was A Giant

  20-02-2019 19:33 via feedproxy.google.com
  Lagerfeld made the leap from fashion-industry stalwart to pop-culture icon when he was appointed creative director of Chanel, showing his first couture collection in January 1983. It’s a sign of his transformative influence that few remember that Chanel was in genteel decline at the time, adrift since the death of its eponymous founder in 1971. Lagerfeld gave the ailing Parisian label an adrenaline shot to the heart, cunningly remixing the house’s classic looks for a younger, more in

• Should you ever send nude pictures taken for an old lover to a new partner?
