• If Mega-Dealers Have Eaten The Art World, What’s Next?

  18-08-2019 22:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  How long can this last? “This market brings together two groups who normally don’t socialize: critics and collectors. There are the exotic-seeming rich people, as any reader of Henry James would know well; once at dinner, asking one collector where he lived, I got a listing of his homes: the Park Avenue apartment, the ranch in Ireland, the winter place in Florida, and so on. Art dealers, too, are fascinating because they sell to collectors expensive artifacts that satisfy no immedia

• Ruling: Calatrava Must Pay Venice For The Damage Rolling Luggage Has Done To His Bridge

  18-08-2019 22:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  Whoops, forgetting (or neglecting to worry about) maintenance isn’t going to cut it anymore, or at least not in this case. “The five judges on a Roman court overseeing the use of public funds ruled on Aug. 6 that Santiago Calatrava, the Spanish-Swiss architect globally renowned for his sleek and elegantly curved designs, had committed ‘macroscopic negligence’ in constructing the glass-and-steel bridge that opened near Venice’s train station in 2008. They fined him

  The company is part of Killing Eve, the movie Book Club, and around 100 other media properties, to date. Their spin: “In a world of media consolidation at an unprecedented scale, the size and scale and reach of media companies today is unlike anything we’ve ever seen, and the idea of ownership and creative freedom is under threat. … So how do we help create an alternative and help create leverage for people?” (The Writers Guild of America isn’t signing onto that,

• The Old Argument Continues: Is ‘Craft’ A Bad Word In The Visual Arts Community?

  18-08-2019 20:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  Magdalene Odundo, a Kenya-born British ceramicist who hand-builds her work, says clay is a natural substance for creating bodies and other shapes. And no, she doesn’t find the word “craft” offensive – but: “Crafting work is a term that means you are making work, you are actually crafting a piece of work. There is nothing wrong in making craft; I actually think it’s a very apt word for making, but it’s not helpful when it classifies certain work as not b

  Yes, that finishes as “stay together,” of course. Though it’s a bit unusual in the cosplay community, these women have a different idea. “It was just so nice to share our resources. It made both of us so much better at what we were doing.… Actually, all three of us took ridiculous pictures of us eating peanut butter sandwiches [like Black Widow does in Endgame]. We weren’t like, ‘Oh, she stole my idea.’ No one stole anyone’s idea. We a

• New Cookbooks Show How Publishing Can Change – And Preserve – Regional Community

  18-08-2019 19:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  India is a huge country with many different regional cuisines. But cookbooks haven’t reflected that – until now. “As the publishing industry’s view of Indian cuisine approaches homogenization … recent years have seen a quiet renaissance of cookbooks focused on particular communities and geographies of India. Some are published privately by earnest ladies’ community groups and some are printed by small presses, while a few are helmed by big publishing houses.

• At Edinburgh Fringe, There’s A Tremendous Amount Of Raw Talent That Needs Support To Thrive

  18-08-2019 19:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  Lyn Gardner says that “the fringe is like a machine churning out ever more raw talent, which is attractive to venues who buy it up cheaply. But the issue is they then offer very little ongoing support to develop that talent in a way that allows companies to grow and develop.” (Instead, they just get more raw, cheap talent the next year.) – The Stage (UK)

  Dorothy West was called Zora Neale Hurston’s “Kid Sister,” and her books were not immediate successes, partly, some say, because she wrote about the Black middle class. “She wrote ‘posh black’ at a time when ‘broke black’ was in vogue, and this sits at the heart of her flickering obscurity, a myopia in mainstream culture that struggled to perceive blackness as anything more than one-dimensional.” – The Guardian (UK)

A tribute to physical labour that is said not to have been too popular with some of the more aspirational of the town’s early residents, it depicts two men, strong-looking but rather squat,

  Trace is ‘democratising’ artworks by moving them out of galleries and into spaces like a garage or bakeryRalph’s Garage looks, sounds and smells like any mechanic’s workshop. From the cracked footpath outside, oil stains and grinding noises emit just enough kitsch and colour to remind customers they’re in West End, Brisbane’s eclectic heart.It takes a short moment before the rubberneckers notice the man perched on the wall – bloodied and blindfolded, nak
