  It often seems that Australia is awash in art prizes. There are awards for painting and sculpture, video, ceramics and watercolours. You name it, there’s probably an award for it. Even modest regional galleries can stump up anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 for a prize. But in all the noise of awards, prizes, grants and fellowships, very few achieve a natio

• A Way To Make College A Lot Cheaper?

  05-04-2019 22:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  This is how universities could break the tuition cost curve—by making the price of online degrees proportional to what colleges actually spend to operate the courses. So far, colleges have been more aggressive in launching online graduate programs. But there’s huge potential for undergraduate education, too, including hybrid programs that combine the best of in-person and virtual learning. And yet nearly every academic institution, from the Ivies to state university systems to libera

  William Kentridge’s stagings of The Nose and Lulu were, and next season’s Wozzeck will be, packed tight with video imagery. (Yet they’re surprisingly easy for the stage technicians.) The whale boats in Jake Heggie’s Moby-Dick couldn’t have existed without 21st-century technology. The animation in Barrie Kosky’s widely-traveled production of The Magic Flute is so intricate that some singers have to be strapped into place. David Patrick Stearns looks into the m

  “The image of a mother made to eat her children was hard to shake, and a couple of decades after its 1594 premiere, artists had already begun to appropriate — O.K., fine, cannibalize — its plot for uses comic, tragic and savagely satirical.
