Installation view.
SHANGHAI.- Almine Rech Shanghai announces Domes, Gerasimos Floratos third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from September 6 to October 12, 2024. Welcome to pure hybridity, that exquisite oxymoron of honest contradiction at the heart of Gerasimos Floratoss art. Here that which is essential, elemental, and primal collides in a chorus of the unexpected, singular truths belied by the lie of the multitude, authenticity earned like a scarred and battered street cred, the most direct mode of communication visual culture can afford turned like a wiener on a food cart by the hubbub of it all, heard above all the nonsense because it too is an anxious form of deep listening. His pictures are like the contemplation of an assault, the mark making of what leaves its mark but never signs its name, the self as reduced to an anonymous language of desperate gestures. In the city you can sleep through anythingscreams, sirens and love ... More |

In Ndifes otherworldly domestic sculptures, nature shows its ungovernable power. (Vincent Tullo/The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- There wasnt much free ground on which to stand in Brandon Ndifes Brooklyn studio. Nearly every inch of the space had been swallowed up by a wild profusion of sculptures, which rose from the floor like a dense, unruly forest. The artworks heaved with his facsimiles of botanical life tree trunks, branches, wheat, vines and vegetables. Twisting and torquing, this biotic matter appeared to be devouring the very things that it had emerged from: quotidian household objects and furniture. It was ... More | |

Her stylized yet playful paintings have their origins in knowledge and traditions from embroidery and handicraft, which she expanded into her own distinctive world of motifs and expression. The nature around her, everyday life and celebrations, fairy tales and folk songs are part of Maria Prymachenkos painted world, expressed in pictures and poetic titles that give an expanded meaning.

The album she left behind is now complete.NEW YORK, NY.- In the early hours of Jan. 30, 2021, the visionary hyperpop producer Sophie was living in an apartment in Athens, Greece. To get a better view of the full moon, she climbed up a balcony, but slipped and fell. She was 34, and her death brought an outpouring of appreciation for the ways her sonic vocabulary pointed, wriggly, blippy synthesizer tones and ultra-succinct hooks had moved so quickly from pops experimental fringe to the mainstream. In Athens and before that in Los Angeles and London Sophie had been working on the successor to her 2018 album, Oil of Every Pearls Un-Insides and its 2019 remix LP. The new album was so close to completion that Sophie had chosen the full track list. Three years later, Benny Long, her brother and studio manager, has finished it, striving to honor Sophies ... More New York Philharmonic players reach deal raising base pay to $205,000NEW YORK, NY.- The New York Philharmonic, the oldest orchestra in the United States, has long been one of the most revered. But in recent years, its musicians have been paid significantly less than their peers in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and elsewhere. That will soon change. Under a new labor contract announced Thursday, the Philharmonics musicians will get a raise of 30% over the next three years, bringing the base salary to $205,000. They will be among the highest paid orchestra musicians in the country. Its transformative, said Colin Williams, the associate principal trombone, who helped lead the negotiations. It speaks to the commitment from the Philharmonics leadership to making sure this place is really a destination orchestra. The Philharmonics leaders praised the agreement, which the ensembles roughly 100 ... More 'A Face in the Crowd' isn't about Trump. It just seems like it.LONDON.- Stop me if you think you have heard this one before: A man gains television fame on the strength of his purported connection to everyday Americans and their resentment of elites, and before long he converts that fame into political influence in a right-wing presidential campaign. That is the rough outline of the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd, which featured a pre-sitcom Andy Griffith as Lonesome Rhodes, a wild-eyed, guitar-slinging hustler who is discovered in an Arkansas jail by an ambitious radio producer and becomes a national phenomenon until a hot mic moment reveals his contempt for his fans and they abandon him. Written by Budd Schulberg, based on a short story he had written years earlier, and directed maximally by Elia Kazan, A Face in the Crowd was an outlandish but eerily plausible speculative satire ... More A (very) belated Donizetti premiere in South AfricaCAPE TOWN.- Could Donizetti ever have imagined that the world premiere of one of his operas would take place in Africa? Thats the question Jeremy Silver, the director of Opera UCT, a student company from the University of Cape Town, posed to the audience before the first staged performance of Dalinda on Sept. 4. But here it was, an opera discovered just a few years earlier presented not at an ornate European opera house but at the Baxter Theater, built in the 1970s, and performed by Opera UCT with a cast largely comprising Black singers and supertitles in English and IsiXhosa. The rediscovery of Dalinda is a musical detective story with its origins in Donizettis frustration at failing to get his opera Lucrezia Borgia past the censors in Naples, where he was resident at the Teatro di San Carlo. The composer of Lucia di ...

More grazerkunstverein premieres of Josef Dabernig's latest filmGRAZ.- Lacrimosa is an exhibition centered on the Austrian premiere of Josef Dabernigs latest film, carrying the same name. The film portrays an unconventional farewell ritual led by Dabernigs aunt, Anni Dabernig, who was an organist and teacher. Together with his grandchildren, she orchestrates a procession through her home in Kötschach-Mauthen, the Austrian village in which he grew up. At the center of this ceremony is a child-sized, enigmatic coffin whose journey through the house transforms both into silent protagonists. Folded hands, furtive glances, rosaries, and a commode chair are the elements of an eccentric childrens game in which the illustrious group navigates between intimidation, rebellion, and a dangerous staircase, all the while grappling with existential questions. In keeping with Dabernigs practice of working closely ... More |
