SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is presenting Nick Dong: 11 to 88, an immersive solo exhibition by the visionary craftsman, sculptor, and engineer.

Dong sees his immersive installations as complete only once a viewer enters the space, with the visitor as an essential component of the piece.

As Ukraine rebuilds its identity, folk songs are the new coolKYIV.- At first sight, it looked like a typical party in a nightclub. It was mid-March in central Kyiv and a hundred or so people were wiggling on the dance floor of VYAVA, one of the Ukrainian capitals most popular live music venues. The hall was dark, lit only by bright blue and red spotlights. Bartenders were busy pouring gin and tonics. But the lineup that night, in a concert hall that typically hosts pop artists and rappers, was unexpected: four Ukrainian folk singers, filling the room with their high-pitched voices and polyphonic choruses, accompanied by a DJ spinning techno beats all to a cheering crowd. These days, Ukrainian folk music is becoming something cool, said Stepan Andrushchenko, one of the singers from Shchuka Ryba, the band onstage that night. A very cool thing." More than two years into Russias full-scale ... More Mitsuko Uchida says what she thinksNEW YORK, NY.- Mitsuko Uchida is one of the worlds foremost pianists, renowned for her crystalline touch and her interpretations of Mozart and Schubert. She is in demand at leading concert halls and festivals, but is also a celebrated mentor to young performers. She is of such stature that she often travels with her own 1,064-pound Steinway Model D concert grand piano, as well as a dedicated technician for it. Periodically, for about two years, I had been working to land an interview with Uchida, 75, who was born in Japan and moved at age 12 to Austria, where her father became Japans ambassador. She remained there to study music when his diplomatic career took him elsewhere, and now lives in London. At this point (many of her recordings are considered standards), she has little need for publicity. But she agreed ... More James Fuentes opens 'Daisy Parris, Weird Rain' at the gallery's Los Angeles locationLOS ANGELES, CA.- James Fuentes presents Daisy Parris, Weird Rain at the gallerys Los Angeles location. Known for their intensively textured, graphically hued paintings, in this new body of work Parris embarks on a pursuit of the color yellow and all that it may hold. Pushing the color to its limit, Parris seeks yellows that conjure sensations at once eerie, electric, and enigmatic. These are shades we cannot hide from; garish and fiercely unapologetic hues that upend common associations to spark memories of unfiltered joy and loss. Parris approaches painting itself in a similar way, in which the static object that we encounter enacts and undergoes a process of continual renewal through transferencewhereby emotion becomes material, and matter becomes emotionally charged. When beginning a painting, Parris will clean their ...

Paula Modersohn-Becker (1876-1907) is a major figure in the history of German Expressionism, yet despite her importance to art history, Modersohn-Beckers work has never before been the subject of a museum retrospective in the United States.

More Daylight to publish Relative Strangers by Teri Vershel - A celebration of the unseen similarities of the everydayNEW YORK, NY.- Humans are intersecting and inhabiting shared connections every day, in multiple ways, and most of the time not realizing it. Street photographer Teri Vershel notices these nuanced and thought-provoking similarities and celebrates them in her book, Relative Strangers, (Daylight Books, Summer, 2024). Vershel culled through her archive and utilized her skills curating and sequencing to create narratives and alliances and depth between her images by pairing them in new ways. This project culminated during the Covid lockdown, a time that promoted looking at projects in a different light. In her afterword for the book, Vershel provides insight into her process. "During the Covid lockdown of 2020, ...

This juxtaposition of photographs by the two artists not only calls into question the essence of photography as a medium but also stimulates thinking about when and why photographs are taken. Gabriele Münter (b. 1877 in Berlin, d. 1962 in Murnau), who is famous above all as a painter in the Blue Rider circle, received her first camera as a gift in 1899 while on a trip in the USA.
