• Have Publishers Learned Anything From The ‘American Dirt’ Debacle?

  02-02-2020 15:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Though we’re not sure why they would, considering the book’s sales, Slate takes a gander at what publishers are saying about #ownvoices books. Or, well, they’re not; they mostly seem to think the book was simply positioned for the wrong market. “‘You can’t be Twitter woke and Walmart ambitious,’ the assistant editor quipped.” Wow, OK. That certainly says something about what publishers are thinking. – Slate

• AT&T Paid Billions For A Satellite TV Service That Audiences Are Fleeing By The Million

  02-02-2020 15:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  DirecTV must have seemed like a good deal in 2015. Now, it’s absolutely hemorhagging subscribers – nearly 3 million last year alone. It’s been a dizzying fall. “DirecTV was an invention of Hughes Aircraft Co., which was founded by eccentric aviator Howard Hughes in 1932. … The service launched in 1994, attracting customers in rural areas that lacked cable TV coverage. Within a decade, DirecTV had 13 million customers. Its groundbreaking NFL Sunday Ticket package p

• Peter Serkin, Pianist Who Forged His Own Path, Has Died At 92

  02-02-2020 14:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Serkin, who “was descended from storied musical lineages on both sides of his family,” seemed at an early age destined to follow their path. But he found the expectation a burden, and went on a new path. “Like many who came of age in the 1960s, he questioned the establishment, both in society at large and within classical music. He resisted a traditional career trajectory and at 21 stopped performing, going for months without even playing the piano.” When he returned, it

• Making The Leap From Documentary To Feature Film Takes Way, Way Too Long For Women

  Liz Garbus and Todd Phillips both won Sundance awards for documentaries in 1998, and they’ve both been working filmmakers ever since. But Phillips is about to go to the Oscars with an obscene number of nominations for The Joker while Garbus opens her first feature at Sundance. “‘I don’t know Todd’s trajectory, and if he tried to make more docs’” said Garbus. ‘But I had a script I was carrying around in my pocket for a long time after The Farm that

• Protests Against The New ‘West Side Story’ For Hiring A Dancer (Briefly) Fired From City Ballet For Sexual Harassment

  02-02-2020 13:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Sure, there’s been a lot of buzz around this Ivan van Hove production, with new choreography by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. But: “There’s another buzz gathering around the show—and not because two dancers’ injuries forced the postponement of opening night from Feb. 6 to Feb. 20. It is instead the controversy over the production’s choice to cast dancer/actor Amar Ramasar as Bernardo. Ramasar was fired from New York City Ballet in 2018 for s

  02-02-2020 13:00 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  All 56 of her books were bestsellers, according to her publisher. “In her memoir, Kitchen Privileges (2002), Ms. Higgins Clark described herself in her younger years as ‘aching, yearning, burning’ to write, certain that she would succeed but needing guidance. She eventually found it in a writing class at New York University. The professor suggested that his students seize upon a situation that they had experienced or read about and begin by asking the questions ‘Suppose

• Hedda Sterne review – beyond beauty

  02-02-2020 10:00
  
  Victoria Miro Mayfair, London
  Moving freely between figuration and abstraction, Europe and America, the late Hedda Sterne approaches the sublime in this momentous first UK solo showHedda Sterne (1910-2011) is a magnificent heroine of art. She died in New York at the age of 100, almost entirely blind, but still drawing “behind my eyes”. In an eight-decade career, Sterne refused to cleave to any single style – no logo, as she drily remarked – unlike the abstract expressioni

• Very sporish! Why are so many artists mad about mushrooms?

No simple coffin or cremation for her. Instead, the South Korean artist is keen to be devoured – which is why she has designed a burial suit that, in her own words, looks like “ninja pyjamas”.
