  Workers from Northumbrian Water Group (NWG) uncovered a new section of Hadrian’s Wall when they were replacing a water main beneath a busy city street near the city center of Newcastle in northeast England. NWG announced the discovery in a statement on Monday.
  The nearly 10-foot section of wall was revealed just below surface level. Preserved for almost 2,000 years, the section comprises a small fragment of the original wall, which ran between the island’s eastern and western coasts.

• Instagram Reverses Decision to Censor Pedro Almodóvar’s Film Poster

  13-08-2021 22:41 via artnews.com
  
  A poster for Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar’s new film Parallel Mothers (2o21) was removed from Instagram for depicting a lactating nipple. This removal follows the social media platform’s regulations against such images—unless they appear in the context of breastfeeding, health issues such as post-mastectomy scarring, or art. Yet, even with those exceptions in place, the rule is often applied inconsistently across the platform, as the algorithms that flag posts

• Turn Up the Heat With the Best Hair Dryers for Painting

  13-08-2021 21:31 via artnews.com
  
  Many painters use layers of color to achieve rich, nuanced textures and effects, but waiting for the paint to dry can be a pain. Hair dryers are often used to speed the process, and they actutally make great tools for that purpose. (It’s curious that that they don’t have dedicated corollaries in the art tool world, but no matter.) While hair dryers can be used on virtually all paint, they’re best for water-based media like watercolors, gouache, and acrylics. Acrylics are famous

  In the sixteenth century, Giordano Bruno intuited that our solar system might not be the only one. He was burned as a heretic. Today, infinity informs theories of everything from quantum physics to cyberspace—all themes woven into Aria Dean’s Suite! (2021), a site-specific video installed at REDCAT. On a gracefully curved, crudely constructed projection screen, a dance troupe of computer-rendered, anthropomorphized kudzu vines swoon and spin in unison, their moves balletic and vaudev
