Today’s AJ Highlights

Good morning: So what defines success of an artistic project? How many tickets or books it sells? In the book industry this is an existential question for first-time novelists. Without “success” out of the gate, it’s difficult to get another book published. But the definition of what first-time success is keeps changing. More here. Here are more highlights from today’s stories:

  1. Navigating the Complexities of Art Repatriation “The journey of cultural artifacts from Western museums back to their countries of origin is fraught with legal, ethical, and logistical challenges. This deep dive explores recent high-profile repatriations and the ongoing debates they spark about cultural heritage and historical justice.” – Artnet
  2. Why Some Schools In Los Angeles Can’t Access Prop 28’s Extra Arts Education Funding “A report from the nonprofit Arts for LA says that while many schools in California are taking full advantage of the funding offered, other schools are not — simply because they don’t have the necessary infrastructure or can’t find qualified teachers.” – MyNewsLA
  3. Art Fairs Are Strangling The Gallery Ecosystem “Smaller and midsize galleries are caught in a vicious cycle: they can’t afford to participate in top fairs, yet they can’t afford to miss them. Today, half of all gallery sales happen at fairs, double the rate of just ten years ago.” – Artnews
  4. How Does Someone Become the “Voice Of A Generation”? “What’s behind this phenomenon is generational thinking. It seems to be everywhere at the moment, providing the media with easy taglines, spreading cliches and unnecessarily sowing division. But its history goes back far beyond even the baby-boomers.” – The Conversation
  5. Exploring the Intersection of AI and Classical Music Composition “This article discusses the innovative ways in which composers are incorporating artificial intelligence into classical music composition, opening up new possibilities for creativity and performance.” – Classical Music
