  The crowd-funded helium balloon made its first appearance during the 45th president’s first UK state visit in 2018, and has since made something of a world tour. The creators: “We hope the baby’s place in the museum will stand as a reminder of when London stood against Mr Trump – but will prompt those who see it to examine how they can continue the fight against the politics of hate.”– The Guardian (UK)

• Ireland Is One Country That’s Done Well For Classical Music Online

  Or so says pianist Finghin Collins, who’s also artistic director of Music for Galway and the New Ross Piano Festival. Collins: “Ireland has done extremely well in the arts, in the sense that many, many classical music organisations, and others, have pivoted very quickly into the online space. If I speak to my colleagues in France, Germany, Switzerland, continental Europe, they haven’t. … We really managed in August, September, October to get ourselves into this online s

• Dealing With The Legacy Of Abuser, Murderer, And Music Producer Phil Spector

  18-01-2021 15:45 via feedproxy.google.com
  Long before he murdered Lana Clarkson, it was clear Phil Spector (who died over the weekend) was not a good guy. “Ronnie Spector’s 1990 autobiography Be My Baby laid bare the full horror of their marriage: the house surrounded by barbed wire and guard dogs; the threats to kill her, either himself or via a hitman; the gold-plated, glass-topped coffin he installed in the basement and threatened to display her body in after she was murdered.” And oh yes, the Wall of Sound –

  Cancel them. No reform. Abolition. “Why are horror stories of racism, sexism, and abuse in art galleries open secrets that remain unaddressed? The dominant agents of the commercial art world — galleries, auction houses, PR firms, and dealers — hold an obscene amount of power over images and their narratives. … Employers are beholden to profit, and artists turn a blind eye. Employees fear retribution and lack lines of communication to critique their superiors. Art public

• Oh, Netflix, Why Couldn’t You Make A Better Ballet Show?

  18-01-2021 15:15 via feedproxy.google.com
  The plot has issues. The characters have issues. The filming of dance itself has issues. “Then there are the voice-overs, each more overwrought than the next. ‘There’s a wicked paradox in ballet,’ one intones. ‘Great flexibility is expected to blossom in a rigid world. The brutal rules and endless isolation, the messing of your mind, it somehow contorts your natural tendency to stretch into a perverse expression of a miracle.'” – The New York Times

• Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival Director Has Some Things To Say About The Issues Facing The Festival

  18-01-2021 14:45 via feedproxy.google.com
  For one thing, there was a pandemic last year (and this year), which canceled darn near everything. Then, in November, came the fire that destroyed the Doris Duke Theatre. Pamela Tatge: “We all want to make as much dance as possible happen for our artists and our audience, so, to lose one of our primary spaces was devastating. … What has been significant to us is people’s attachment to that space and to Jacob’s Pillow as a beacon for the field of dance. The outpouring o

  The Academy concluded that there was no way to keep the larger executive committee’s deliberation process secure on Zoom or other platforms – so the “preliminary committee,” a smaller group, is now the only arbiter of what movies will be nominated for Best International Feature. Unrelated (or so they claim), the shortlist has expanded from 10 to 15. – The Hollywood Reporter

  Of course, if you’ve already read Parable of the Sower, much of the last four years might have felt a little too eerily familiar. But moving on: “Butler was an observer and ponderer. The probing mind that animates her novels, short stories and essays is obsessed with the viability of the human enterprise. Will we survive our worst habits? Will we change? Do we want to?” (And, also, probably you should start with Kindred.) – The New York Times
