NEW YORK, NY.- Acclaimed Italian painter Francesco Clemente had always wanted to have a drink named after him (the Bellini, after all, is an homage to Italian Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini). Clemente, now 72 and based in New York City since 1981, is getting a whole bar named after him. Clemente Bar, which will open Oct. 10 on the floor above the restaurant Eleven Madison Park and begin accepting reservations in mid-September, is the next step in the evolution of Daniel ... More | |
Laurie Anderson at her studio in Lower Manhattan. (OK McCausland/The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- Imagine or perhaps remember a time when the world seemed much larger, when air travel was novel and dangerous, when wireless communication could never be taken for granted. Thats the era Laurie Anderson conjures on her new album, Amelia, coming out on Friday. In a fast-moving 36 minutes and 22 tracks, Amelia traces the doomed final flight of Amelia Earhart, who set out to become the first woman to circumnavigate the Earth, as Anderson narrates. Earhart took off ... More | |
A 3,500-year-old jar used for oil and wine during the Middle Bronze Age. (Hecht Museum via The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- A jar used for oil and wine during the Middle Bronze Age in the ancient Canaan region prevailed for thousands of years before it was put on display at the Hecht Museum in Israel. Last week, it was felled by the curiosity of a child. On Friday, a 4-year-old boy visiting the museum in the northern coastal city of Haifa with his parents tried to peer inside the 3,500-year-old jar to see what it contained, his father said. The object toppled from its metal stand at the museums ... More |

NEW YORK, NY.- Most anyone who visits Paris and loves to shop will be told to visit the storied flea market marché aux puces in French which occupies 5 acres in Saint-Ouen, just north of the city limits. The problem, many visitors find, is that its impenetrable. There are a lot of visitors who walk through and leave empty-handed and baffled, said Kate van den Boogert, 51. Its very big and covers a lot of ground and ... More | |
An assortment of ceramics created by Don Katz at his ceramics studio. (Tanveer Badal/The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- For Don Katz, a typical day begins with a light breakfast at his home in Los Angeles before he heads to his backyard pool to swim a few laps. After a therapeutic soak in the spa, Katz prepares to go to work on his ceramics. His commute isnt far: He passes through the French doors of his bedroom, down three steps to his backyard, makes a sharp right around the spa, then takes a few more steps before turning left into the freestanding ceramics studio behind his house. But for Katz, who is 48 and ... More |

NILS STÆRK opens Eduardo Terrazas' sixth solo exhibition with the galleryCOPENHAGEN.- NILS STÃRK presents Eduardo Terrazas sixth solo exhibition with the gallery, Icons of Infinity, at Holbergsgade 19, Copenhagen. In the works by Eduardo Terrazas (b. 1936, Guadalajara), vibrant play with scale, unlimited combinational possibilities and equilibria in movement are all shapes that unfold in a succession of irradiations that exert a magnetic effect on the human gaze. Since the mid-twentieth century, he has produced a body of work that portrays the generating principles of the cosmos, integrating strokes, figures and tonalities to create a dynamic painting system that depicts the universe as a force-field. Its components are rigorous but open shapes, awash in possibilities, where variety and repetition come together in a felicitous gear assembly that can depict matters rhythmic versatility alongside our own ... More Haggerty Museum of Art welcomes Director John McKinnon MILWAUKEE, WI .- John McKinnon has joined the Haggerty Museum of Art as it prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary over the course of the 2024-25 academic year. McKinnon has 17 years of experience leading teams, managing an organizations creative output, cultivating community support, and overseeing growth, doing so at the Elmhurst Art Museum, Society for Contemporary Art at the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Milwaukee Art Museum.

I admire the Haggerty Museum of Arts nearly 40-year history as a laboratory for the Marquette campus and greater Milwaukee area with a deep commitment to transformative experiences of art and culture, McKinnon said. I look forward to leading this uniquely positioned and ... More Kulendran Thomas presents a series of newly commissioned works at WIELSBRUSSELS.- A pioneer of post-AI art, Christopher Kulendran Thomas has been using Artificial Intelligence technologies over the last decade to make genre-defying work that examines the foundational fictions of Western individualism. His paintings metabolise the colonial art history that came to dominate in Sri Lanka after his family, who are Tamil, left escalating ethnic violence there. Often these are shown with immersive video installations that remix propaganda and counter-propaganda into a cyclonic vortex of speculative scenarios. Safe Zone combines painting with auto-edited television to confront the historical mediums of soft power. At WIELS Kulendran Thomas presents a series of small paintings and one very large one, together with a 24-screen video work, all of it newly commissioned. Abstracting the work of early Sri Lankan modernists ... More Is this the Edinburgh Fringe, or a wellness convention?EDINBURGH.- As I made my way to Scotland for this years Edinburgh Festival Fringe, the three-week arts showcase that finished on Monday, I felt a little apprehensive. A conspicuous number of shows were themed around psychological maladies. These included plays about grief, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and gambling addiction. I had thought I was going to a festival, but this sounded more like a wellness convention. Theater geared toward raising awareness can often be underwhelming, because the message gets in the way of a good time. But 300 Paintings, by the Australian performer Sam Kissajukian, was a pleasing exception. Kissajukian, who has bipolar disorder, quit comedy a couple of years ago, when he was in his mid-30s, to become an artist a frying-pan-to-fire trajectory if ever there ... More For a new 'Empire Records,' Zoe Sarnak set out to write a '90s anthemNEW YORK, NY.- As a teenager in New Jersey, composer and lyricist Zoe Sarnak was a star soccer player, earning her place in the Princeton High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Her position? Center mid, she said in a recent interview. The one who runs the most. In addition to displaying endurance, the center midfielder plays a crucial role in coordinating defense and attack, and controlling the games tempo. Experience that must have come in handy this year, when Sarnak, now 37, will have had multiple productions at prestigious institutions around the country. In May, Berkeley Repertory Theater premiered Galileo, a musical with a score by Sarnak and composer Michael Weiner, in which science and religion duke it out. A few days later, a retooled version of The Lonely Few, a heated love story between two rockers, opened ... More A pianist who's not afraid to improvise on MozartNEW YORK, NY.- Cadenzas are a concerto soloists time to shine: the moments when the rest of the orchestra dramatically drops out and a single musician gets the chance to command the stage. For about half of Mozarts piano concertos, cadenzas he wrote have been preserved, and those are what you usually hear in concerts and on recordings. Other composers later filled in the gaps with cadenzas that have also become traditional. Some performers write their own. But 250 years ago, when Mozart was a star pianist, he wouldnt have performed prewritten cadenzas even ones he had composed. When Mozart wrote his concertos, they were a vehicle for his skills, pianist and scholar Robert Levin said by telephone from Salzburg, Austria Mozarts hometown where he teaches at the Moz ... More Bonniers Konsthall presents 'Frida Orupabo: On Lies, Secrets and Silence'STOCKHOLM.- Bonniers Konsthall will open the fall of 2024 with Frida Orupabos first solo exhibition at a Swedish institution. On Lies, Secrets and Silence takes its starting point in our most private and intimate spacethe home. Through newly produced works in the form of collage, video and sculpture, staged as spatial installations, the exhibition focuses on the complex relationships that are contained within the domestic sphere, central to our everyday lives and in the creation of our identity. Familiar environments and relationships that suddenly, through subtle changes, may transform from safe to strange and unpleasant. In recent years, Frida Orupabo (b. 1986, based in Oslo, Norway) has been recognized internationally as one of the most important artists of our time. In her image-based practice, she works with digital and physical collages, exploring ... More Rosa Parks Museum examines homelessness through work of sculptor Jim HagerMONTGOMERY, AL .- An exhibit at Troy Universitys Rosa Parks Museum examines the issue of homelessness through the work of sculptor Jim Hager. The exhibit, Homeless, opened August 8, and will be on display through Oct. 26 in the museums gallery. Inspiration for the exhibit came from the growing number of homeless in Hagers home city of Oakland, CA. The effort was inspired by a desire to better understand Who are the homeless in our community? I constantly pass individuals at street corners holding signs asking for help and continue with no understanding of the situation of who they are or how they came into this situation, Hager said. I want this exhibition to share voices and images of the homeless in Oakland in a format that is insightful, illuminating and engaging, reaching a broad audience to increase public awareness ... More A bargain at the opera: Philadelphia offers all seats for as low as $11NEW YORK, NY.- In Philadelphia, a night at the opera may now be cheaper than going to the movies. Opera Philadelphia, a company with a reputation for innovation and ambition, announced Tuesday that it was putting in place a pay-what-you-can model for the 2024-25 season, with all tickets for all performances starting at $11. The initiative, which the company calls Pick Your Price, is aimed at attracting new audiences. People want to go to the opera, but its expensive, said Anthony Roth Costanzo, the celebrated American countertenor who became the companys general director and president in June. Our goal is to bring opera to more people and bring more people to the opera. It immediately proved popular. On Tuesday, the day the initiative was announced, Opera Philadelphia said it sold more than 2,200 tickets for the coming season, ... More If Liza Minnelli's jewelry could talkWEST HOLLYWOOD, CALIF.- The scene had all the subtlety of a sequined sledgehammer: Liza Minnelli, a performer who has often been measured against her mother, actress Judy Garland, was lounging on a sofa beneath fluorescent Andy Warhol portraits of Garland, Minnelli and her father, director Vincente Minnelli. Minnelli, 78, was sitting in the living room of her apartment in West Hollywood, California, on a Monday afternoon in August, with a small entourage that included a manager, a personal photographer and Michael Feinstein, a singer and pianist she has collaborated with for years. Tabletops were packed with nearly arranged accolades and other detritus from her career in show business a French Legion of Honor award here, some Golden Globes there. Minnelli was wearing a red collared shirt over a black turtleneck ... More In 'Only Murders in the Building,' this actor is above suspicionNEW YORK, NY.- On a rainy morning in early August, actor Michael Cyril Creighton sat in a dog-friendly cafe on the outskirts of Astoria, Queens. With him was Sharon, his 7-year-old rescue, who is part Chihuahua, part Jack Russell terrier, with a soupçon of haunted doll. Another dog scampered over to their table. Sharon growled low in her throat and bared her teeth. She has a troubled past, Creighton said, soothing her. But shes great. Creighton bespectacled, bearded, with a cuddlesome physique is more reliably sociable. During a two-hour conversation that began with savory scones and included a damp walk at a nearby sculpture park, he growled not once not even when interrupted, frequently, by fans of his work on Only Murders in the Building. In Only Murders, the Hulu series about occasional homicides in a luxury co-op ... More |

Flashback On a day like today, French painter Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres was born August 29, 1780. Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres (29 August 1780 - 14 January 1867) was a French Neoclassical painter. Although he considered himself to be a painter of history in the tradition of Nicolas Poussin and Jacques-Louis David, by the end of his life it was Ingres's portraits, both painted and drawn, that were recognized as his greatest legacy.
