ATLANTA, GA.- Over the past six years, the High Museum of Art has more than quintupled its holdings of quilts made by Black women.

NEW YORK, NY.- When Ivy Karlsgodt set out to make her first vintage-inspired lampshade, she took her time: She sketched out a design, gathered her materials and spent hours carefully cutting and stitching pieces of chiffon, silk and velvet onto a metal frame in the shape of a drooping tulip. The end result had gold and red fabrics overlaid with ... More | |

Cannupa Hanska Luger's new sculpture confronts the history of North American bisonNEW YORK, NY.- Public Art Fund debuted Attrition, a site-specific sculptural installation by interdisciplinary artist Cannupa Hanska Luger. Situated in City Hall Park in Lower Manhattan, Lugers 10-foot-long steel bison skeleton lies within a bed of grasses native to this region, highlighting the profound interdependence between animals, humans, and the land. Placed on the pathway to City Hall, Attrition symbolically engages with New York Citys heart of policy-making, bringing to light the history of the bisons survival. Luger, an enrolled member of the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold from the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara and Lakota cultures, is a descendant of buffalo people. In his artistic practice, he presents new ways of seeing our humanity while foregrounding an Indigenous worldview. For Luger, the bison is a symbol ... More The American who built a supersized Japanese aerie from abandoned partsKAMAKURA.- In the hills above Kamakura, the ancient samurai capital of Japan, Brian Heywood is overseeing 12 workmen as they put the finishing touches on his new home. Framed by blossoming yamazakura cherry trees, the sprawling aerie looks west over Sagami Bay, with Mount Fuji in the distance. I wanted people to be transported to another world when they drive in, said Heywood, 57, on a recent afternoon. The property, covering just over an acre in this seaside town about 30 miles south of Tokyo, has been a feat of negotiation and preservation. Shozan, as Heywood calls it, is a curious fusion of three centuries-old wooden houses, a decommissioned 150-year-old Buddhist temple and other cultural treasures all meticulously disassembled, moved here from their original sites, and reconstructed over a five-year period. Their aesthetics ... More An odd rock in a box gets linked to a shooting star that fell 54 years agoNEW YORK, NY.- Tens of thousands of meteorites have been found on Earth, but a vast majority remain shrouded in mystery. These rocks come from space, of course, but pinning down their exact origins, in the solar system or even beyond, is difficult without knowing their flight paths. But now, researchers believe they have connected a meteorite discovered in the Austrian Alps decades ago with bright flashes of light from a space rock hurtling through our planets atmosphere. Its rare to link a meteorite with its parent fireball, and these results demonstrate the usefulness of combing old data sets, the research team suggests. Their findings were published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science in May. In 1976, Josef Pfefferle, a forest ranger, was clearing the remnants of an avalanche near the Austrian village of Ischgl when ... More Bob Eckstein has the perfect museum for youNEW YORK, NY.- When they first go to museums, the first two things people want to know is, wheres the gift shop, and wheres the bathroom? said writer and illustrator Bob Eckstein, 61, whose new book, Footnotes From the Most Fascinating Museums, is an illustrated field guide to North Americas cultural and historical repositories. He envisions families using it as their summer vacation bucket list to discover the riches available at institutions as various as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Hollywood Cars Museum in Las Vegas (home of a General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard) and the Wenham Museum in Massachusetts, where the collection includes 1,000 dolls and more than 600 mechanical toys dating to 1780. A born New Yorker who lives not far from the Met Cloisters in upper Manhattan, Eckstein ... More Mabe Fratti, a spark in Mexico City's experimental music sceneNEW YORK, NY.- Ten years ago, cellist and experimental composer Mabe Fratti came across a strange painting by Paul Klee. Angelus Novus depicts an angel, wings splayed, eyes wide open, who looks as though he is about to flutter away from whatever he is looking at. Its a metaphor for history, she said, video calling from her friends living room couch in Berlin. The philosopher Walter Benjamin wrote about it: this idea that were looking forwards but also always looking back. The concept would go on to form the basis for Angel Nuevo, the first song Fratti wrote on her new album, Sentir Que No Sabes, out Friday. I wanted to talk about what it feels like to know you want to progress but not know where you want to go, she said of the track, which starts out quietly and builds in an anxious crescendo. Moving forward hasnt exactly been a problem ... More Frederick Crews, withering critic of Freud's legacy, dies at 91NEW YORK, NY.- Frederick Crews, a literary critic and a leading skeptic in the contentious scholarly debate over the achievements and legacy of Sigmund Freud, died Friday in Oakland, California. He was 91. His wife, Elizabeth Crews, confirmed the death Monday. Frederick Crews, a professor emeritus of English at the University of California, Berkeley, was the author of more than a dozen books. Most recently, he wrote Freud: The Making of an Illusion, a deeply researched evisceration of Freuds reputation and therapeutic insights that drew wide critical attention when it came out in 2017. He was a longtime contributor to The New York Review of Books, where his essays and reviews explored the works of Herman Melville, Mark Twain and Flannery OConnor, among other authors. He also ... More Discord at the symphony: Losing a star, San Francisco weighs its futureSAN FRANCISCO, CA.- For a night at the symphony, there was a lot of tension in the air. As concertgoers filed in to Davies Symphony Hall this month, they were greeted by players from the San Francisco Symphony passing out bright yellow flyers accusing the management of having no clear artistic vision. Then, shortly before the performance began, a shout echoed from one of the balconies, exhorting people to Act! It was conductor Esa-Pekka Salonens first concert at the hall since March, when he stunned the classical music world by announcing that he would step down as the orchestras music director amid a dispute with the management over budget cuts. The evenings program was just the sort of thing he had promised when he was hired with a mandate to rethink the concert experience: Maurice Ravels charming ... More The Honarkar Foundation for Arts & Culture presents "Joe Goode │ Select Works: 1970s-2000s"LAGUNA BEACH, CALIF.- Joe Goode is an influential American artist, best known for his contributions to the Pop Art movement of the 1960s. Born on March 27, 1937, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Goode moved to Los Angeles in 1959, where he quickly became an integral part of the burgeoning West Coast art scene. He studied at the Chouinard Art Institute, where he developed his distinctive style that combines elements of realism and abstract expressionism. Goodes early works often featured everyday objects, rendered in a way that challenged conventional notions of perception and reality. His Milk Bottle series, for example, juxtaposed photorealistic depictions of milk bottles against minimalist backgrounds, highlighting the ordinary while inviting deeper contemplation. Another notable series, the Torn Cloud paintings, ... More Jinny Yu debuts new abstract paintings in first AGO solo exhibitionTORONTO.- On view now at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Jinny Yu: at once marks a luminous return to colour by acclaimed artist Jinny Yu. Featuring new abstract paintings and works on paper made over the past two years, the exhibition is Yus first solo exhibition at the AGO. A celebrated artist and educator who divides her time between Berlin and Ottawa, Yu describes her work as a reflection of tensions between the sense of belonging
and sense of non- and/or un-belonging. Born in Seoul, Korea, Yus large-scale abstract paintings have brought her international renown and her site-specific installation Dont They Ever Stop Migrating? was exhibited during the 2015 Venice Biennale. at once marks the first museum presentation of works from Yus new series, Inextricably Ours (2021- ongoing) and features nine oil paintings ... More Review: A 10th life for those jellicle 'Cats,' now in dragNEW YORK, NY.- A DJ pawing through a carton of old LPs Natalie Cole, Angela Bofill comes upon a curiosity: the original cast album of Cats. When he opens the gatefold, glittery spangles fly everywhere. Thats how Cats: The Jellicle Ball begins, and its basically what the Perelman Performing Arts Centers drag remake of the Broadway behemoth does to the drab original. It sets the joy free. Whether upper- or lowercase, cats never previously offered me much pleasure. The underlying T.S. Eliot poems, ad-libbed for his godchildren, are agreeable piffle, hardly up there with Prufrock as fodder for the ages. The musical, instead of honoring the materials delicacy, stomped all over it, leaving heavy mud prints. Andrew Lloyd Webbers score, and especially the rigged-up story and original staging by Trevor Nunn, tried so hard to make ... More Spatializing Reproductive Justice on view at the Center for ArchitectureNEW YORK, NY.- The Center for Architecture is presenting Spatializing Reproductive Justice. Curated by Lori A. Brown, FAIA, Lindsay Harkema, Bryony Roberts, and FLUFFFF Studio, this exhibition features student research and work by contemporary design practices addressing the spatial, legal, and social logistics of reproductive healthcare access in the United States after the repeal of Roe v. Wade. In the US, reproductive rights have always been restricted by race, gender, sexuality, and class inequalities; particularly for Black, brown, and Indigenous women, trans men, and non-binary individuals, adolescents, immigrants, people with disabilities, and those who live with low or insecure income. Systemic racism as well as the political influence of religious groups has long shaped reproductive healthcare access in the US. This exhibition ... More |

Flashback On a day like today, American painter Sam Francis was born June 25, 1923. Samuel Lewis Francis (June 25, 1923 - November 4, 1994) was an American painter and printmaker. Francis was initially influenced by the work of abstract expressionists such as Mark Rothko, Arshile Gorky and Clyfford Still. He later became loosely associated with a second generation of abstract expressionists, including Joan Mitchell and Helen Frankenthaler, who were increasingly interested in the expressive use of color.
