Spread out over half a mile on a bluff 70 feet above the Concho River, Paint Rock derives its name from the pictographs on the layers of limestone shelves. Using massive flat-faced boulders as canvases, nomadic tribes painted ... More |

The poet who commands a rebel armyNEW YORK, NY.- Deep in the sweltering jungles of Myanmar this spring, a rebel commander stood in front of 241 recruits for Day 1 of basic training. The troops part of a resistance fighting an unpopular military dictatorship were organized in rows by height, starting at less than 5 feet tall. A spotted dog patrolled the ragged lines before settling in the dirt for a snooze. The commander, Maung Saungkha, has raised an army of 1,000 soldiers. But his background is not military. Instead, he is a poet, one of at least three who are leading rebel forces in Myanmar and inspiring young people to fight on the front lines of the brutal civil war. In our revolution, we need everyone to join, even poets, Maung Saungkha said. He amended his statement. Especially poets, he added. To his new recruits, though, Maung ... More 10 years after Eric Garner's death, an opera honors his legacyNEW YORK, NY.- In the middle of The Ritual of Breath Is the Rite to Resist, an opera about the police killing of Eric Garner, a singer portraying his daughter reflects on his famous final words: I cant breathe. I cant let go, she sings. I hear his words again and again. A scream in a dream that escapes as a gasp. A decade after Garners death, Ritual of Breath, which comes to Lincoln Centers summer festival on Friday, aims to shine light on Garners legacy and the broader problem of police violence in the United States. The opera, composed by Jonathan Berger to a libretto by poet Vievee Francis, focuses on Garners daughter, Erica, as she grapples with the pain, guilt and anger she feels over her fathers death. But Ritual of Breath also spotlights the stories of other Black people killed by the police, a ... More The Yoda-like mentor behind the masters of tap danceNEW YORK, NY.- As top-shelf tap dancer Michelle Dorrance sees it, Shift., the show that her company is debuting at the Joyce Theater in New York this week, isnt exactly a tribute to Gene Medler, her foremost teacher and mentor. Its not about him, its because of him, she said after a recent rehearsal. I hope to honor the way he taught us. The education Dorrance had in mind went way beyond tap. Its not just how he inspired us to approach our art form, but the way he thinks about life, she said. Its the community he created and how he charged us to care for each other. Medlers pupils tend to talk about him similarly: as a second father, a role model, a joking but Yoda-like guru. The most prominent of them include Dorrance and several members of her company, Dorrance Dance, as well as Jared Grimes, a tap virtuoso whose ... More '40 Years of the Future: Jo McGonigal x Frank Bowling' opens this October at Castlefield GalleryMANCHESTER.- Housed in Castlefield Gallerys distinct architect-designed interior, this dynamic exhibition will bring together site-specific spatial paintings by Jo McGonigal with Sir Frank Bowlings sculptures as well as large-scale paintings for which he is renowned.

In his book Frank Bowling: Sculpture (2022), writer and curator Sam Cornish shares a story of Bowling receiving an invitation from Castlefield Gallery in the 1980s to exhibit his paintings alongside the work of a contemporary sculptor. As a response, Bowling provided the sculptures himself. This ... More 'The Errantries of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann': Duo exhibition to open at Carbon 12DUBAI.- The recent paintings of Sarah Almehairi and Bernhard Buhmann enact profound re-routings. Through unexpected protrusions and punctures, the artists have initiated progressions in their stories that are, as the philosopher Ãdouard Glissant describes it, a poetics of errantry, both adventurous wanderings and rebellious misdirections. Referencing forms and motifs from within their past works, the artists lure us in with the familiar, only to journey to new discoveries and connections. For Almehairi, this process entails a build-up of layers that may weave and collude, but remainas the series title statesoff centered. Inversely, within Buhmanns latest works, an erasure has occurred, and this removal is at times a wound. Almehairis current interest in overlapping appendages amplifies her longstanding awareness that every ... More The SLG announces its upcoming programme for Autumn 2024 and Spring 2025LONDON.- In Autumn 2024, the South London Gallery will present a new exhibition by Nairy Baghramian. This will be the artist's first major solo show in a London institution in fourteen years, at a time when she is receiving widespread international recognition for her work. Nairy Baghramian's conceptually rigorous work invites viewers to reconsider their sense of self, space, object and site. Particularly in her prime medium of sculpture, the artist employs an extensive repertoire of techniques, materials and forms to address the spatial, architectural, social, political and contextual conditions of contemporary art. Baghramian often combines geometric shapes, organic matter, industrial processes, and gestural procedures to manipulate familiar forms. The resulting abstract yet eminently allusive works subtly explore the connections ...
