New construction blocking the view? 'If you can't beat them, join them.NEW YORK, NY.- What do you do when the neighbors construction threatens your view? Thats the situation Katie and Sam Benrubi found themselves in when the owners of the small beachfront house in front of them on Fire Island began working on plans to knock it down and build a taller structure in its place. The Benrubis house in Ocean Bay Park, New York, sat on a gentle rise and had a beautiful ocean view over the top of Nick and Andrea Papapetros home. We were so concerned we were going to lose our view, said Katie Benrubi, 65, a corporate branding and merchandising consultant. Were one house back from the ocean, she added, yet we can sit on our deck or anywhere upstairs and have wonderful ocean views. So she and Sam Benrubi, 69, who hosts a wine-focused podcast, The Grape Nation, got in touch with the architects des ... More Here's why 'The Matrix' is more relevant than everNEW YORK, NY.- Neo, the hero of The Matrix, is sure he lives in 1999. He has a green-hued cathode-ray-tube computer screen and a dot-matrix printer. His city has working phone booths. But hes wrong: He lives in the future (2199, to be exact). Neos world is a simulation a fake-out version of the late 20th century, created by 21st-century artificial intelligences to enslave humanity. When we first saw Neo, though, it really was 1999. The idea of AI feeding on human brains and bodies seemed like a thought experiment. But the movies warnings about AI and everything else have sharpened over time, which explains why its been harnessed by all kinds of people in the years since: philosophers, pastors, technoboosters and technodoomers, the alt-right. Judged solely on cultural relevance, The Matrix might be the most ... More How Hollywood glamour is reviving the endangered Broadway playNEW YORK, NY.- Robert Downey Jr. is deep in rehearsals for his Broadway debut next month as an artificial intelligence-obsessed novelist in McNeal. Next spring, George Clooney arrives for his own Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, and Denzel Washington returns, after a seven-year absence, to star in Othello with Jake Gyllenhaal. Then comes an even more surprising debut: Keanu Reeves plans to begin his Broadway career in the fall of 2025, opposite his longtime Bill & Ted slacker-buddy Alex Winter in Waiting for Godot, the ur-two-guys-being-unimpressive tragicomedy. Broadway, still adapting to sharply higher production costs and audiences that have not fully rebounded since the coronavirus pandemic, is betting big on star power, hoping that a helping of Hollywood glamour will hasten its rejuvenation. ...

More On Netflix, a very British 'Love Is Blind'NEW YORK, NY.- Tom Stroud, a 38-year-old advertising consultant, sits on the floor of a 12-foot-square room on the reality dating show Love is Blind: U.K., facing a blank wall. On the other side is Natasha Waters, a 32-year-old job counselor, who has just told Tom that hes everything shes looking for in a man. Hes flattered but he needs to let her know that hes interested in somebody else. I can feel how good you are, he begins tentatively. Um ... but ... Im thinking about, sort of, um, he trails off. He stares off into the distance, sighs heavily, fidgets with a ballpoint pen. I need to be really honest with you ... he says, after a long pause. I dont know if its romantic love ... it could just be friendship. It may be no surprise to learn that Stroud is from Britain. This is, after all, the countrys archetypal reticence on display a contrast ...

The exhibition brings together paintings, collages, and gouaches from Julie Speed created over multiple decades. Speed, whose work is often compared to that of the Surrealists, Dada, and Renaissance painters, has an artistic style that struggles to fit neatly into any art historical period. The work is both outside of reality and tied to it. An astute draftsperson, Speed depicts strong, often non-gendered figures inhabiting dream-like spaces, offering comfort in the shared nature of our inner thoughts. Speed confronts universally shared experiences and stories, clothing her figures in humanity itself. Torsos and limbs are transformed into scenes of war, politics, architecture, and nature. We ...

It is complemented by a rediscovered letter from Ernst H. Gombrich and a text by Catherine Schelbert, adding two more voices to those that speak of Jacqueline Burckhardts contribution to the field of art.

More Messums West announces "Tessa Campbell Fraser: Whales"TISBURY.- This exhibition forms part of the Active Environmentalism programming at Messums Org which is founded on the principle that action begins with knowledge.

Three monumental (5.2m, 4.6m and 3m respectively) sculptures of sperm whales will hang from the roof of the tithe barn. The open timbers and roofbeams of the barn are reminiscent of an upturned boat, carrying subliminal associations with the industrial scale whaling which reduced sperm whale numbers to critical levels in the 19th century, when their waxy spermaceti oil famously oiled the wheels of the Industrial Revolution. The sculptures offer a response ...

On display in Gallery 2, the works are derived from the Melbourne-based artists everyday perambulations through a variety of urban, suburban and industrial environments. Observing a storefront, factory facade, roofline or roller door, Atkins takes numerous photographs and notes, carefully studying the architecture, decoration and signage. Then, back in the studio, Atkins reduces the forms of these visual encounters to the fundamentals of colour and line, creating bright, hard-edge abstractions that pulse with vitality. The exhibition begins with a series of eight acrylic paintings on board, the titles of which reveal the extent of Atkins wanderings throughout Melbourne and journeys beyond Moorabbin, Glen Waverley, Footscray, Coburg. ...
