• Inside The ‘Magical’ Studio Of Kiki Smith

  10-03-2019 21:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  Smith is “known for her seriality, spinning concepts and images into one work after another, until something new piques her interest. Her sources of inspiration remain in flux, but Smith’s work itself tends to revolve around the body, death, mythology, and nature. Rumpelstiltskin may have been able to weave hay into gold, but there’s no alchemy to Smith’s practice: just hours of making, year after year.” – Artsy

It’s easy to make a video on TikTok, not just because of the tools it gives users, but because of extensive reasons and prompts it provides for you.

• Why Do We Care Who Actually Wrote Nancy Drew?

  10-03-2019 18:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  Carolyn Keene didn’t exist; nor did Franklin W. Dixon, purported author of the Hardy Boy series. Who the writers actually were isn’t germane, really. “What was important was the author as a brand—a shortcut for readers to know that they were getting a consistent product—and arguably, in the case of Nancy Drew, a more consistent product than they might have received if Carolyn Keene had been a single individual. A real Carolyn Keene might have become bored of the pr

  Last week’s utter foolishness over Oscar-nominated Roma star Yalitza Aparicio (Yeka Rosales, a TV personality for the Mexican-based Televisa network wore a prosthetic nose and thick lips to make fun of Aparicio) isn’t new to Mexico.

  Royal Academy, London
  From monumental goddesses to athletic Adams and Eves, beauty and meaning fight it out in the Renaissance’s nude awakeningSaint Sebastian – golden-haired, flawless – poses in nothing but a wisp of white loincloth.
