• The Poetry Problem — It’s All Around Us, But Poets Constantly Worry About Readers

  30-03-2021 23:28 via feedproxy.google.com
  “No wonder most people would rather read Instapoems, or listen to a spoken-word performance, than engage with traditional poetry: the barriers to entry are much lower. People who love traditional poetry might be tempted to say that such writing isn’t poetry at all. But the battle over nomenclature is a losing one.

• New Memoir Dishes On Iran’s Fabulous Art Museum Created For The Shah

  30-03-2021 23:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  The museum was conceived by the Empress Farah Diba Pahlavi, wife of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, and opened to international acclaim in 1977. Just 15 months later, in the face of a massive popular uprising, the couple left the country on what was officially called a “vacation.” The revolution replaced the monarchy with an Islamic Republic weeks later. The new regime could have sold or destroyed the Western art masterpieces. Instead, the museum was closed, its treasures hidden in a co

• Regional UK Museums Say They’ll Return Benin Bronzes

  This, of course, in contrast with the country’s national museums, which have declined to repatriate the art. Evidently, the regionals have more flexibility in such decisions. “On Thursday, the University of Aberdeen confirmed it would repatriate a bust of an Oba, or king of Benin, which it has had since the 1950s, ‘within weeks’, a landmark move for a British institution. – The Guardian

• Guy Brett obituary

  30-03-2021 21:36
  
  My friend, the art critic, writer and curator Guy Brett, who has died aged 78 of pneumonia and Parkinson’s disease, began his career in the early 1960s as the art critic for the Times. However, it was his involvement with Signals Gallery (1964-66) in London that would mark his life’s work.While most of the British art milieu looked towards American pop art and the legacy of abstract expressionism, Guy explored other genealogies of modern art and the poetic intersections between kinet

  30-03-2021 18:51
  
  Andreas Wannerstedt is one of a growing number of artists animating hypnotic loops and soothing vision designed for an audience that's craving calm. 'My work is very much influenced by visual ASMR,' he tells the Guardian. 'It’s all about finding these specific "triggers" that evoke that tingling sensation we all feel some time. The most common triggers are audible – like whispering, scratching or humming – but I’ve noticed that specific movements can work as triggers
