It is time to dedicate a major exhibition to these women for the first time ever, and to discover them anew. From 10 July to 27 October 2024 ... More |

Marian Goodman Gallery Los Angeles to open Jongsuk Yoon's first solo exhibition in the U.S.LOS ANGELES, CA.- Marian Goodman Gallery Los Angeles announced the first solo exhibition of Korean-German artist Jongsuk Yoon in the United States. Born in South Korea in 1965, Yoon relocated to Europe in the early 1990s to study art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf under German conceptual artist Fritz Schwegler.

More Marta Herford Museum of Art and Design opens 'Between Pixel and Pigment: Hybrid Painting in Post-digital Times'HERFORD.- The present is hard to grasp. It is fluid and post-digital. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the term post-digital has been used to describe the merging of digital technologies with our everyday reality. The analog and digital have become inextricably linked and are on a par, together they form our hybrid present. This permeates all areas of life and influences our perception, thought, communication, and action. Through the constantly advancing technological and thus also societal changes, spaces and body images appear to be dissolving more and more. This development has a strong impact on the methods of artistic production as well as on the content and themes of painting. From the onset, ...

More Romance bookstores are booming, dishing 'all the hot stuff you can imagine'NEW YORK, NY.- Last summer, when Mae Tingstrom had the idea to open a romance bookstore in Ventura, California, the first thing she did was search online to see whether there was already one in her region. She found The Ripped Bodice a bookstore in Culver City that was doing so well that it was expanding to a second location in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. That was intimidating, she said. If their success was daunting, it also suggested that there might be room for another romance store. So in February, she opened Smitten on a busy strip of Main Street, about 60 miles from her competitor. In the months since, Smitten has become a vibrant hub for romance readers, with author signings, tarot readings, book clubs, and trivia and craft nights. Customers sometimes approach her with highly specific requests. Someone came in and was like, I like fantasy, I want it to be queer, ... More Actor Joe Pantoliano brings his on-screen history to Heritage AuctionsDALLAS, TX.- Heritage will present the first-ever auction that lets you step into Emmy Award-winning actor Joe Pantolianos shoes boots, actually, the same pair he had custom-made before his Cypher slipped into The Matrix and sold out Morpheus for a bite of steak and a little dough.

Look only at the bootstraps: PANTS, they say, as in Joey Pants, the moniker by which the actors been known since he was a little kid in Hoboken and no one could pronounce Pantoliano. The Wachowskis really liked the boots when I went to my first fitting in Australia in 1998, Pantoliano says of the intricately tooled leather-and-suede Falconhead-made boots that also bear the black-ink markings Cypher #1 and FH-198. Pantoliano moved to Los Angeles in the 1970s and was enamored of the ...

Over and over again.NEW YORK, NY.- We are almost halfway through the Indian action extravaganza Kill before the title card slams on-screen, by which point its simple imperative and the films entire raison dêtre has been obeyed so many times its essentially redundant. Much like the movies English subtitles: The dialogue might be in Hindi, but the language of blood and bones is universal. Speaking it fluently is Amrit (Lakshya), a hunky military commando who has followed his childhood sweetie, Tulika (Tanya Maniktala), onto an express train to New Delhi in the hope of rescuing her from an arranged marriage. The lovebirds quivering reunion, however, is rudely interrupted by a horde of bandits armed with knives and hammers. What they lack in sophistication, they more than make up for in enthusiasm as they set about robbing the terrified passengers. ... More |
