NEW YORK, NY.- After 30 years of leading the Museum of Modern Art, during which he moved one of the countrys leading museums from the 20th century into the 21st, Glenn D.

All the things I set out to do 30 years ago are either accomplished or in play in a very positive way. Lowrys contract was up for renewal in June. He said he felt ... More |

More Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson announces exhibitions by Mame-Diarra Niang and Raymond MeeksPARIS.- The black body is at the heart of French artist Mame-Diarra Niangs new series. She doesnt want to define it, or tell its story. On the contrary, she wants to untie it from the ways it has been represented by centuries of Western narratives. She therefore seeks to make it abstract, through what she calls forms of non-portraits. Each of the images in this tetralogy can be viewed as an evocation of the artist herself. "What constitutes me?" she ponders. Her personality cannot be reduced to a fixed, imposed or subjected identity. Its made up of experience, memory and forgetting. As such, it is in perpetual flux. It is this dynamic, this constantly shifting territory, that she explores. In this work, initiated during a long period of confinement by re-photographing digital screens, Mame-Diarra Niang plays with the characteristic imperfections ... More Greece to restrict cruise visits as islands struggle with tourist crowdsNEW YORK, NY.- With the treasures of its history, the beauty of its islands and the golden sands of its beaches, Greece offers tourists many reasons to visit. But a seemingly endless influx in recent years has caused headaches at some of its most popular destinations. So this weekend, its prime minister proposed an array of measures aimed at curbing some effects of the growing crowds. The changes include hefty increases in docking fees for cruise ships at some of Greeces most popular islands, and limits in daily cruise ship arrivals. The rules aim to reduce the strain that the vacation industry places on communities and echo a pushback against overtourism in several other major European destinations. Tourism supports the economy with significant resources and jobs, but it has its own particular social impact, Prime ... More Exhibition of works by Elizabeth Malaska to open at Wilding Cran GalleryLOS ANGELES, CA.- Wilding Cran Gallery will present Chimeras, an exhibition of works by Elizabeth Malaska exploring feminine mythologies of protection and renewal. Descending into a shadow world built below shifting ground, Elizabeth Malaskas most recent body of work reflects upon notions of surrender as a process of repair. The artists canvases combine scenes of women in repose with suggestions of mythological antiquity, drawing parallels between perceptions of women as both vessels and catalysts. The exhibition conjures a world resplendent with underlying narratives and perspectives that generate a space of guardianship and communion within moments of isolation. The three women in Den, 2024 sit on the floor of a brick room, vibrating with jewel tones. The figures are joined by spectral faces, a black cat, a pink travel ... More James Earl Jones' stage career was rich, and startlingly diverseNEW YORK, NY.- The world will remember James Earl Jones, who died Monday at the age of 93, for his contributions to film, some of which are secure in the pop-culture canon. New York, however, will remember Jones for his contributions to theater, for which he received three Tony Awards (including one for lifetime achievement in 2017) and, in 2022, a rare distinction: the renaming of a Broadway theater in his honor. Jones once recalled that when he moved to New York to study acting, in 1957, his father, Robert Earl Jones (himself an actor), took him to live performances. In rapid succession, the young man saw the opera Tosca, the ballet Swan Lake, the musical Pal Joey and the drama The Crucible. This wide range may help explain Jones own rich, startlingly diverse stage career. For years, the actor deftly navigated oft-produced ... More Will Jennings, Oscar winner for 'My Heart Will Go On,' dies at 80NEW YORK, NY.- Will Jennings, an English professor turned lyricist whose 1998 Academy Award for My Heart Will Go On, the theme song from the movie Titanic, capped a long career writing hits for musicians like Steve Winwood, Eric Clapton and Dionne Warwick, died Sept. 6 at his home in Tyler, Texas. He was 80. The office of his agent, Sam Schwartz, confirmed the death but did not cite a cause. Jennings won the Oscar for best song twice: for My Heart Will Go On, which he wrote with James Horner and which was performed by Celine Dion; and in 1983 for Up Where We Belong, from the film An Officer and a Gentleman, written with Jack Nitzsche and Buffy Sainte-Marie and performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes. In most of his hits, Jennings wrote the lyrics, while his collaborators wrote the melodies an unsurprising division ... More Dan Morgenstern, chronicler and friend of jazz, dies at 94NEW YORK, NY.- Dan Morgenstern, a revered jazz journalist, teacher and historian and one of the last jazz scholars to have known the giants of jazz he wrote about as both a friend and a chronicler, died Saturday in Manhattan. He was 94. His son Josh said his death, in a hospital, was caused by heart failure. Morgenstern was a jazz writer uniquely embraced by jazz musicians â a nonmusician who captured their sounds in unpretentious prose, amplified with sweeping and encyclopedic historical context. He was known for his low-key manner and humility, but his accomplishments as a jazz scholar were larger than life. He contributed thousands of articles to magazines, newspapers and journals, and he served the venerable Metronome ... More |
