Marina Abramovic in New York, July 25, 2024. (Victor Llorente/The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- Marina Abramovic stood and faced the ocean on Fire Island. For a long minute, her arms rose symmetrically from her sides until her body formed a T shape. Her long red dress was stark against the waves. Her palms faced forward. Abramovics face was not visible, but it was conceivable that she was screaming. The performance artist once screamed for three hours, until she couldnt anymore (Freeing the Voice, 1976); once yelled into her ... More | |

So I started with a free Chicago Greeter tour of the downtown Loop, ground zero for visitors and home to popular attractions like Millennium Park and the Art Institute of ... More | |

Wolfgang Rihm in 1987. Rihm, a composer whose forceful, shape-shifting output reinvigorated contemporary classical music, died on Saturday, July 27, 2024, in Ettlingen, Germany. He was 72. (Keith Meyers/The New York Times)

His death, in a hospice outside the city of Karlsruhe, where he lived, was announced in a statement by his publisher, Universal Edition. It did not specify a cause, but Rihm had been treated for cancer since 2017. His illness and ... More | |

NEW YORK, NY.- For most of his four-plus decades in Hollywood, Thomas R. Moore has worked as a picture editor on network television shows. During a typical year, his work followed a pattern: He would spend about a week and a half distilling hours of footage into the first cut of an episode, then two to three weeks incorporating feedback from the director, producers and the network. When the episode was done, he would receive ... More |

Meadows Museum announces acquisition of two paintings by Baroque-era women artistsDALLAS, TX.- The Meadows Museum, SMU, today announced that it has acquired two 17th-century works by women artists: a still life by Josefa de Ayala (c. 16301684) and a painted cell cross by MarÃa Josefa Sánchez (active 16391652). Ayala was a seminal figure in Iberian Baroque art who achieved recognition and numerous commissions during her lifetime, and was one of the few independent, documented women artists from the period. Together, the acquisitions are indicative of a vibrant artistic climate on the peninsula which did allow women some freedom of expression. Both were purchases made with funds from The Meadows Foundation, and both will be on view in the Meadows galleries by the fall. We are thrilled to add these significant works to our collection, said Amanda W. Dotseth, Linda P. and William A. Custard Director ... More Terry Powers opens September 5 at Dolby Chadwick GallerySAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Dolby Chadwick Gallery will present The Shimmering World, an exhibition of new paintings by Terry Powers. The importance of observation and painting from life is at the heart of Powers practice. He uses no technology that was not in place 600 years ago, never working from a photograph, always painting what is directly before his eyes. He paints people, places, and objects that he sees every day: his walk to work, his running routes, his studio, his living room. This body of work is an extension of an ongoing project of seeing and painting, a formal inquiry into observation and rendition. This body of work can be split into a grouping of interior paintings and more recent exterior paintings. Those who have spent a winter in Utah will know that the elements do not have the patience for painting, so Powers is relegated ... More You won't see them at the Olympics, but these speed puzzlers are world-classLONDON.- In the winter of 1966, The New York Times printed a story about the jigsaw-puzzle boom sweeping the United States, quoting a Barnard College professor who said, The reason that people do puzzles is nothing more complicated than compulsion. Almost 60 years later, puzzle culture has exploded far beyond mere compulsion: Its a thriving community with online stars and an international tournament drawing thousands of nimble-fingered competitors. That tournament, the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship, will hold its fourth edition this September in Valladolid, Spain, a city more than 130 miles northwest of Madrid. Participants from more than 75 countries will race to complete multiple puzzles for a modest cash prize and bragging rights over six days. One of the more well-known competitors in Spain will be Karen Kavett, ... More Alanis Morissette is not aloofNEW YORK, NY.- If Alanis Morissettes albums were children, Jagged Little Pill would be the spoiled one universally beloved, lavishly celebrated, extravagantly fed. She has a soft spot for her second born, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which was reissued with new material last month for its 25th anniversary. (She plays from the album on her current tour, which has dates through September.) Morissette was only 25 when Supposed came out, in 1999, but Jagged had made her a battle-hardened veteran of the It Girl industrial complex. She had hoped success would bring communion with other stars of popular and alternative music; instead, she found herself isolated and creatively drained. I felt like I was at odds with the credo of the 90s, she said. I thought there would be more intimacy and vulnerability and kumbaya, ... More Are these real plotlines from 'And Just Like That'?NEW YORK, NY.- This week, mysterious neon flyers began to appear around Brooklyn and Manhattan. At first glance, they looked like the standard filming notices that are often taped up in New York to inform passersby that they could end up in the background of a Law & Order episode. These notices appeared to be for And Just Like That
HBOs fever dream of a follow-up to Sex and the City. But upon closer inspection, they advertised plotlines even more ludicrous than the ones that have appeared on the show. Project details: At brunch with the girls, Carrie reveals that she is Garfield the cat, one reads. Another: Carrie goes on a bad date with Mr. Bean (the character) and then accidentally sends him a nude. The posters provenance was unknown and, to many online, vexing. People ... More In New York, Van Cleef becomes the 'fairy godmother' of danceNEW YORK, NY.- Last fall, the New York City dance scene was taken over by a jeweler: Van Cleef & Arpels. The companys Dance Reflections, a festival of contemporary dance, lasted from October to December and sprawled across the citys theaters. Lavishly advertised and well attended, it made a big enough splash that the ripples can still be felt. Dance Reflections is the best thing to happen to the New York dance scene in the last 25 years, said Jay Wegman, executive director of NYU Skirball, a principal site for the festival. The big splash might have been anticipated from reports of previous iterations in London, Los Angeles and Hong Kong. More surprising, perhaps, were the ripples Dance Reflections continuing sponsorship of performances through this past spring at Skirball, New York City Center and the Joyce Theater. ... More Erica Ash of 'Mad TV' and 'Survivor's Remorse' dies at 46NEW YORK, NY.- Erica Ash, an actress and comedian known for her roles in the satirical reality show Real Husbands of Hollywood and on the sketch comedy show Mad TV, died Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 46. The cause was cancer, her mother, Diann Ash, said in a statement Monday. Ash began her career in the 2000s as a cast member on the sketch comedy shows The Big Gay Sketch Show and Mad TV, where she impersonated celebrities like Michelle Obama and Condoleezza Rice. She went on to appear in several dozen TV shows and films, including Scary Movie V. She landed a recurring role on BETs The Real Husbands of Hollywood, a parody of reality TV shows that starred Kevin Hart. On Starzs Survivors Remorse, a drama-comedy about a young basketball stars rise to fame, she played the main characters ... More 'Six Characters' review: Making the case against a white-centric theaterNEW YORK, NY.- Nothing makes some theatergoers as skittish as the specter of audience participation. Toying with that apprehension, Phillip Howze has designed a preperformance interaction for people coming to see his confrontational new play, Six Characters, at Lincoln Center Theater. As part of what his script calls the overture, each person entering the Claire Tow Theater is meant to be asked, Would you like to participate?, yet given no details on which to base their answer. The query turns out to provide a frame for Six Characters. A metatheatrical nod to Luigi Pirandellos canonical 1921 drama, Six Characters in Search of an Author, Howzes play is an indictment of the white-centric American theater and a warning about passivity in the face of looming fascism. Are you willing to participate in reshaping the theater and the ... More A new path in Tuscany offers rest, beauty and an escape from the crowdsNEW YORK, NY.- In Italys Tuscany region, the Val dOrcia, with its rolling fields and untouched landscape beneath the dormant volcano of Monte Amiata, seems created for photo ops. Within it, the town of Pienza is one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture, designed by the famed Bernardo Gambarelli, better known as Bernardo Rossellino, in white travertine marble and surrounded by palazzi, which he also built. This summer, a new path leads visitors from the towns main piazza to the countryside, a journey of a little less than 2 miles. Along its length theyll find 28 benches made of travertine marble created by well-known artists. Each bench is both a place to rest and take in the sweeping views of the Italian countryside, and a work of art shaped by the makers hand: One suggests a throne, another carries an image ... More |

Flashback On a day like today, French painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet was born July 31, 1901. Jean Philippe Arthur Dubuffet (31 July 1901 - 12 May 1985) was a French painter and sculptor. His idealistic approach to aesthetics embraced so called "low art" and eschewed traditional standards of beauty in favor of what he believed to be a more authentic and humanistic approach to image-making. In this image: A young lady looks at "Paysage charbonneux" by French artist Jean Dubuffet dated 1946, and valued at 3.5 million Marks (1.5 million Dollars) at the 34th International fair for modern art "Art Cologne" in Cologne, Germany, Friday, November 3, 2000.
