  21-09-2020 17:31 via feedproxy.google.com
  Mehta doesn’t mind that both Domingo and Levine are facing allegations of sexual harassment in the United States. “We leave the blacklists to American puritanism. Levine has been ruined by the US media. Domingo has had to leave the Los Angeles Opera, which was worth nothing before him. And all because of complaints that have come from failed artists after 30 years . That sounds like revenge,” commented Mehta. – Weiner Zeitung

All of it, on display, all of the time: “Sjarel Ex, the Boijmans’ director, is wearing the look of a man who can’t quite believe it’s finally happening. ‘A treasure chest, no?’ he exclaims, gesturing towards a dizzying lattice of glass stairwells above our heads. ‘Every single thing we have will be on display.'” – The Guardian (UK)

• Somehow, The Emmys Did A TV Awards Show During The Pandemic Without Looking Entirely Self-Centered

  21-09-2020 15:30 via feedproxy.google.com
  That’s partly because of the presenters. “Essential workers, including a USPS delivery person, a rancher, two doctors, a teacher, a truck driver and a nurse practitioner, served as presenters.

  Melinda Bargreen talks about the journey: “Music presenters often overuse the phrase ‘a concert like no other, but for once, that was exactly what we got: a Symphony concert recorded earlier in the week in Benaroya Hall, watched on the park’s big drive-in screens, and streamed through a dedicated FM channel into the car radios. There’s never been an opening night like this one.” – Seattle Times

  Rainer, avant-garde choreographer and filmmaker, has a new book out. “A book about dance is a book, but it is also a mirror. And when a choreographer puts a mirror up to her work, angling to see it with new clarity, she often encounters her own reflection: her image and the mythologies of that image, her layered and conflicting legacies, the ways in which she has moved through the world — or appeared to.” – Los Angeles Review of Books

  And the realities, too. “That kind of convenience, of course, comes at a price, especially in an artistic medium that always works best when it achieves your wholehearted surrender. And by surrender I mean actively putting aside your convenience, putting aside your phone, your work, your tiredness, your phone, your competing thoughts, your other appointments, your phone. I saw some very fine TIFF movies this year, though even the best ones left me wondering how much better I’d have

  Honestly, how is the Guggenheim supposed to conserve something like a banana duct-taped to a wall? Ah: The artwork contains no actual banana. “Comedian, as sold, does not include a banana or tape. What one buys is a ‘certificate of authenticity,’ a surprisingly detailed, 14-page list of instructions, with diagrams, on how the banana should be installed and displayed.” – The New York Times
