• Cancel Philip Johnson? MoMA Tries

  26-03-2021 22:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  Opened 27 February and running through to the end of May, a new exhibition, Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America, challenges and seeks to dismiss the legacy of Philip Johnson, the modernist master who did so much to start and cultivate MoMA.

• Director James Darrah: You Can’t Design Yourself Out of Something That Doesn’t Work

  26-03-2021 21:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  The new director of Long Beach Opera talks about making more with less. “There are people who are really comfortable with being very elite and exclusive and get wrapped up in the cachet of it all — the red carpets and the evening wear. I don’t think that’s helping sustain the art form. It alienates younger generations who don’t care about that glitzy “opera star” opera. I talk to my friends who aren’t in the opera world. Their point is: “If

• We Need To Stop Treating Literature As Self-Improvement Projects

  26-03-2021 20:32 via feedproxy.google.com
  “We experience art as a repository of our humanity, a representation that tries to capture the meaning we seek in our lives. Treating art as a means to an end feels degrading, like reducing the worth of a service worker to the service she performs. The best self-improvement scheme I can think of is to prove ourselves better than that.” – Slate

Lyn Gardner talks to people who run competitions, and people who’ve entered them, about the difference prizes make and the issues involved (e.g., whether or not submissions should be anonymous). – The Stage
