More Meet the 'hydraulic press girl,' dancing the undanceable onlineNEW YORK, NY.- Like comedians, dancers tend to be good imitators. Theyre both masters of fine detail, able to pinpoint and replicate the minutiae that make a choreographic phrase, or a sketch character, click into focus. As a dancer and a comedian, Sarah McCreanor, known as Smac, likes to up the ante. Why mimic a dance or a person when you can turn yourself into an emoji? A head-bobbing chicken? An object being crushed by a hydraulic press? I think one of the funniest things you can do is try to dance the undanceable, McCreanor said in a Zoom interview. I look at, like, a video of a hydraulic press crushing something, and I see choreography. You have to go back a generation or two to find a good analogue for the 32-year-old McCreanor. Her physical comedy evokes the vaudevillian slapstick of Donald ... More The taste of DirtNEW YORK, NY.- Daisy Alioto, a 33-year-old writer, editor and media executive, was looking at the 140 tons of dirt in the Earth Room, a permanent installation created by conceptual artist Walter de Maria on the second floor of a loft in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. It feels like a metaphor for whats happening in media and culture right now, she said. Insisting on the value of something that the wealthiest people see as worthless or disposable. Alioto had suggested we meet there on a summer afternoon to discuss Dirt, the newsletter she has been running for the past few years. Operating largely outside the news cycle and social media discourse, Dirt has published essays on everything from broken heart valves to bad waitressing, from yearning to millennial gray. There are also book reviews and interviews anything, in other ... More National Gallery of Denmark to open "Against All Odds: Historical Women and New Algorithms"COPENHAGEN.- In August, SMK launches the exhibition Against All Odds Historical Women and New Algorithms, which unfolds the stories of twenty-four Nordic women artists who achieved great success in the years 18701910, but have since more or less disappeared from history. The exhibition explores how we can reinscribe women artists in art history and whether new technology can be used to write history in completely new ways. The woodcut Evening was created by the Danish artist Henriette Hahn-Brinkmann (18621934). Depicting fellow artist Niels Hansen Jacobsen, it is a rare example of a friendship portrait (known as Freundschaftsbilder) where a woman portrays a man. Like most women of her time, Hahn-Brinkmann faced great difficulty in gaining access to artistic education; yet she nevertheless achieved great ... More Rachael Lillis, who voiced popular 'Pokémon' characters, dies at 55NEW YORK, NY.- Rachael Lillis, an actress who voiced the original English versions of Misty and Jessie, popular characters in the 1990s Pokémon anime television series, and later in the franchises movies and games as well, died Saturday in Los Angeles. She was 55. The cause was cancer, according to Laurie Orr, one of her sisters. Lillis started voice acting in the 1980s, according to her IMDB page, but her big break came in the late 1990s when she was cast in the English version of the Pokémon TV series, a popular Japanese anime based on the Pokémon video games. In hundreds of episodes over eight years, Lillis voiced the characters Misty, a trusted friend of the main character, Ash Ketchum, and Jessie, one of the shows villains. She also voiced those characters in two Pokemon movies as the cultural phenomenon grew. Lillis, who lived in Los Angeles, also was th ... More Globally-inspired art star Pacita Abad makes Canadian debut at the AGOTORONTO.- A vivid kaleidoscope of colour, the first major retrospective dedicated to artist Pacita Abad (b.

Flashback On a day like today, French photographer Willy Ronis was born August 14, 1910. Willy Ronis (August 14, 1910 - September 12, 2009) was a French photographer. His best-known work shows life in post-war Paris and Provence. Ronis' nudes and fashion work (for Vogue and Le Jardin des modes) show his appreciation for natural beauty; meanwhile, he remained a principled news photographer, resigning from Rapho for a 25-year period when he objected to the hostile captioning by The New York Times to his photograph of a strike. In this image: Willy Ronis, Ãle Saint-Denis, nord de Paris, 1956. Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication / Médiathèque de lâarchitecture et du patrimoine / Dist RMN-GP © Donation Willy Ronis.
