• With No Mardi Gras Parade, New Orleans Creates Floats Out Of Houses

  28-01-2021 23:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Look around Rona, socially distanced float houses have become a thing. A really big thing. Apparently, if you to take the parades off our streets, our streets become the parade. From Gretna to Metairie to Bywater: Lavishly, lovingly, laughingly decorated houses are becoming as ubiquitous as potholes.” – NOLA.com

• The Perils Of Our Time Demand An Artistic Response

  28-01-2021 23:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  Deborah Cullinan: “The events of the past year, and the shocking insurrection that took place at the Capitol on Jan. 6, have reinforced the value of art in our society. We have always known that art can be a source of peace, solace and joy in times of struggle. But art also provides the intellectual, economic and emotional healing that will lead our nation forward.” – San Francisco Chronicle

• A Rethink In Investing In Smaller Arts Organizations

  28-01-2021 22:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  “It is time to make significant investments in these smaller organizations to increase their capacities and develop a practice that does not make becoming more mainstream the ultimate goal. Most of these smaller organizations devote a significant portion of their energies to the task of survival, and while that might be a given in the nonprofit world, many of them will greatly benefit from redirecting more of their energies to their artistic practice instead of constantly treading water.&

• This Was An Odd Year For Movies. The Oscars Should Reflect That

  28-01-2021 22:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  “The kinds of movies that traditionally contend for awards — mid-budget dramas with recognizable stars and respectable historical subjects or social themes — were thin on the ground throughout the year, though a handful did show up on Netflix. The audience and the industry floated in a strange pandemic limbo.” – The New York Times

• Improvised Comedy: How New York’s Standups And Clubs Are (Barely) Making It Through Lockdown

  28-01-2021 21:02 via feedproxy.google.com
  “Despite a state ban on live comedy performances, the pandemic hasn’t destroyed the New York comedy scene — it just pushed it underground. … Venue owners are finding ways to stay in business by exploiting exemptions set aside for religious services, indoor dining, and trivia nights (yes, really) as a means to get comics back onstage, even if that stage is in a church or on the subway.” – Vulture

• Govan’s Folly? Stuck in the LACMA Quagmire

• The Cure For Disinformation

  28-01-2021 20:35 via feedproxy.google.com
  “The internet contains, for better or worse, a significant amount of humanity’s intellectual and creative outputs. It’s also a cesspool of outrageous falsehoods. Having access to so much information, then, is useful only if you’re able to separate the wheat from the chaff. For instance, the amount of information related to COVID-19 has been called an ‘infodemic’ by the World Health Organization: there is so much information that it’s impossible to keep

  “Many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals have welcomed the increase in visibility that deafness and hearing loss have enjoyed on TV lately. … But for many who use devices like cochlear implants or hearing aids, onscreen representation still falls short by not reflecting enough of their experiences. … Deaf characters tend to be portrayed onscreen as people who sign and don’t speak,” whereas implant users usually speak and often don’t know ASL. – The
