19 looks that did the most at the OscarsNEW YORK, NY.- At the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday, the red carpet showed not only its true color but also its reputation as a vehicle for elegant, over-the-top and even political fashion. Though there were bright moments Cynthia Erivos dress was a Wicked shade of green, Taylor Zakhar Perez wore powder blue Prada many of the gowns and tuxedos that graced the carpet were black. Some stars ensembles harked back to attire they wore at prior Oscars ceremonies. Marlee Matlin said that her shimmering lilac Rodarte gown nodded to the dress she wore when she won the best actress award in 1987, and Lupita Nyongo went with a pale bluish-silver Armani dress inspired by the color of the gown she wore when she won the best supporting actress award in 2014. Sparkling brooches were among the most visible accessories ... More Writer accuses 'The Holdovers' of plagiarizing his script, according to reportNEW YORK, NY.- A screenwriter whose credits include Luca and Paddington 2 has accused the creators of The Holdovers of plagiarizing his work in their screenplay, according to a Variety report. Variety published its article on the plagiarism accusations Saturday, a day before the Academy Awards, where The Holdovers was nominated for five Oscars, including original screenplay and best picture. In its report, Variety cited an email from screenwriter Simon Stephenson to an official at the Writers Guild of America, and a second email to the WGA board. Stephenson argued that his screenplay Frisco, which he wrote in 2012, was copied to create The Holdovers. (Frisco has not been produced.) Both screenplays tell the story of a grumpy man in his 50s forced to watch over a teenager, according to documents published with the Variety report. The Holdovers centers on a boarding-school teac ... More Julia Roberts, Ice Spice, Robert De Niro and more party before the Oscars even startLOS ANGELES, CA.- Its like a little party, Julia Roberts said Friday afternoon, standing in a hotel suite in West Hollywood, decked out in black tuxedo pants and a crisp white shirt from Celine. Her red hair was pulled back in a perfect bun. On her face, she wore hunter-green eyeglasses. To Roberts left was her longtime stylist, Elizabeth Stewart. To her right was her longtime publicist, Marcy Engelman. At a table by the windows was her new friend Edward Enninful, the outgoing editor-in-chief of British Vogue. It was two days before the Oscars, and the parties were already in full swing. At some, the movies were the main thing being celebrated. At others, the upcoming awards merely served as a pretext for luxury brands to place their products on actors and actresses, rappers and singers, basketball players and TikTok influencers. ... More 'Nothing Lasts Forever' by Peter Mitchell to be published by RRB PhotoBooksLONDON.- Nothing Lasts Forever Is the first retrospective monograph of work by Peter Mitchell, best-known for his chronicles of the city of Leeds. The book is published to coincide with a major exhibition of the photographers work at Leeds Art Gallery from 17 May 2024 - 06 October 2024, nearly 50 years since he first exhibited there. The book acts as a visual guide to navigate Mitchells long-rooted and poetic connection with Leeds. Regarded as the one of the most important early colour photographers of the 20th century, the book illustrates how words and objects have also played a key role in developing his distinctive and accessible vision. Nothing Lasts Forever charts Mitchells work and career from his early photographs made in the 1970s and 80s whilst working as a truck delivery driver. His vantage point removed him from the immediacy of the street and he developed his distinctive grap ... More Second solo exhibition with Rachael Catharine Anderson 'Sex and Death' now on view at signs and symbolsNEW YORK, NY.- signs and symbols is presenting its second solo exhibition with Rachael Catharine Anderson entitled Sex and Death, part two of a comprehensive overview of the artists seasonal painting practice. Andersons practice involves thematic representations of plants and ephemera that invoke various ontological questions according to the seasons and the spirit of the times. Her last solo exhibition with the gallery focused on a collection of one-to-one portraits of native and cultivated plants of the Midwest that combined to form a simulated orchard inside the white walls of the gallery, reminiscent of the interior frescoes at Pompeii. Her focus is now on a collection of still life paintings based on the theory of the pensive image developed by Hanneke Grootenboer. In her book The Pensive Image: Art as a Form of Thinking, Grootenboer ... More Bringing 'Teeth,' a feminist awakening with a lethal bite, to the stageNEW YORK, NY.- Michael R. Jackson doesnt have a vagina. He also doesnt not have one. While Im not a teen evangelical with teeth in my vagina, he said, spiritually I am. Jacksons spectral self-identity was a guiding light as he and composer Anna K. Jacobs collaborated on Teeth, a new musical based on Mitchell Lichtensteins 2007 indie scary movie of the same name. Its about a high school student named Dawn who discovers to her horror that she has vagina dentata a myth, found across cultures and eras, about a vagina that has a lethal set of chompers. (The film is streaming on Tubi, and the show is in previews off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons before a March 12 opening.) If youre going to musicalize a horror movie, Teeth is a doozy and a gamble. Darkly comic and at times stomach-churningly gory, its a touchstone ...

More 'RANKIN: Sound Off - Musicians 1990-23' - a new exhibition at Cromwell Place LONDON.- Responsible for some of the most iconic editorial shoots and album artwork of the 1990s and 2000s, Rankin has photographed the biggest British bands, including Pulp and Radiohead, pop superstars such as the Spice Girls and Dua Lipa, and cult heroes like Michael Stipe and PJ Harvey. Over a carefully curated selection of portraits, Sound Off showcases Rankin ́s ability to create images that came to define the zeitgeist, as well exploring the personalities behind each musicians persona. Rankins art has always been part of the music scene, beginning with the seminal magazine Dazed & Confused, which he set-up with Jefferson Hack in 1990 (now known as Dazed). The magazine was a central part of the cultural renaissance that swept through 90s Britain, placing provocative images alongside the music, art and fashion that defined a ... More A arte Invernizzi hosts solo exhibition by François MorelletMILAN.- On the occasion of the thirty years of activity of the gallery, A arte Invernizzi opens with the gallery Annely Juda Fine Art in London, respectively on Tuesday 12 March and Thursday 7 March 2024, at 6 p.m., a major anthological exhibition of François Morellet (1926-2016), one of the most significant international artists of the 20th century, realised in collaboration with the Estate Morellet. Active since the early 1950s in the sphere of geometric abstraction, Morellet revolutionised and constantly reinvented its theoretical and linguistic coordinates, with the realisation, in over six decades of activity, of pictorial, object, kinetic and installation works constantly aimed at eliminating the individual subjectivity of the artist, as well as conventional notions of composition, surface, structure, space and experience. His art has always been based ... More 'Dead Outlaw' review: Not much of a bandit, but what a corpseNEW YORK, NY.- In the final chapter of Elmer McCurdys macabre posthumous journey through the American West, his red-painted corpse dangled from a noose inside a Southern California amusement park ride: a creepy bit of decor to spook the thrill-seekers. More than six decades after his death, poor old arsenic-preserved McCurdy was presumed to be a mannequin until, in 1976, the TV series The Six Million Dollar Man came to shoot an episode at the ride, and a crew member discovered otherwise. This is a man! the freaked-out Teamster shouts in Dead Outlaw, a mischievous but never mean-spirited ghost story of a musical about McCurdy from the creators of The Bands Visit. Conceived by David Yazbek, who wrote the Dead Outlaw music and lyrics with Erik Della Penna, this oddball new show reunites Yazbek ... More |
