(via Harun Farocki Filmproduktion and Greene Naftali, New York via The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- For Harun Farocki, even as visual media raced from film strips to computers, one thing remained constant: Pictures reveal more than they intend. Naming the ideologies embedded in workaday images was Farocki’s life’s work. The German filmmaker and artist was born in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia in 1944 to an Indian father and German mother, lived in a divided Germany, and died in 2014, in a booming, unified Berlin. He spent six decades ... More At Sundance lab, movie economics can't be ignored this year Lars Eidinger, Yoko Ono, and Katharina Sieverding: The Fall Highlights at K20/K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Largest exhibition to date of the acclaimed Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto opens in Sydney Carmen Madonia, an actor on the set of “Here for the Weekend” by Casey Modderno, at the Sundance Directors Lab in Estes, Colo., May 15, 2024. (Jimena Peck/The New York Times) ESTES PARK, COLO.- The storied Sundance Directors Lab has helped develop the early films of Quentin Tarantino and Paul Thomas Anderson, Ryan Coogler and Chloé Zhao. But when this year’s cohort of filmmakers arrived for the intensive workshop, the setting could easily have felt ominous. ...

DUSSELDORF.- Lars Eidinger is one of the most famous German actors of our time. From August 31, K21 is presenting his first solo museum exhibition, “O Mensch,” with around 100 photographs and objects.

More Hiroshi Sugimoto was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1948. SYDNEY.- The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia today opened Hiroshi Sugimoto: Time Machine, the first survey of the internationally renowned artist’s work to be presented in Australia.

Tokyo, 1948) has created some ... More Champagne, soft piano and no lines: Luxe life at the Olympics Thomas Dane Gallery announces second solo exhibition of works by Terry Adkins Icon or eyesore? Palm Springs to move divisive Marilyn Monroe statue People watch the 2024 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony from a hospitality venue on a boat on the Seine in Paris, on July 26, 2024. (James Hill/The New York Times VERSAILLES.- Getting to the Olympics equestrian arena at Versailles — a multihour metro, train and bus extravaganza culminating in a mile-long trek down a dusty thoroughfare — is so arduous and enervating that it almost qualifies as an athletic achievement in itself. But there’s another way. It’s called the Golden Garden Hospitality Experience, and it begins with door-to-door taxi service and a queue-free entrance. It includes Champagne, ... More Terry Adkins, Norfolk, 2012 (detail) © The Estate of Terry Adkins. Photo: Roberto Salomone. LONDON.- Thomas Dane Gallery will present Disclosure, the gallery’s second solo exhibition of American musician, scholar, composer, performer and sculptor Terry Adkins (b. 1953, Washington, D.C., d. 2014, New York).

After taking up printmaking as his initial foray ... More A visitor at the statue “Forever Marilyn” by the artist Seward Johnson of Marilyn Monroe outside the Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Springs, Calif., Aug. 20, 2023. (Mark Abramson/The New York Times) PALM SPRINGS, CALIF.- It was a sweltering day in Palm Springs, and a few intrepid tourists braved the unforgiving sun to snap selfies at the stilettoed feet of a colossal Marilyn Monroe, her white dress seeming to billow up in the hot dry wind. Some of them had heard she was not likely to be standing there much longer. “That’s why we came today — to take pictures,” said Lauri Hatcher, who used to live in Palm Springs and returns each year. ...

More The composer Hannah Kendall. (Braylen Dion/The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- “Violent congestion, inexpressible terror, failure of breath, momentary unconsciousness — these overtake me in quick succession, though I am better than I was,” composer Robert Schumann wrote in a letter to his mother in 1833. He was 23, and the recent deaths of his older brother and sister-in-law surely cast a pall on his state of mind. “If you had any notion of the lethargy into which melancholia has brought me,” he continued, “you would forgive my not ...

Raymond Tan’s story begins in Selangor, where he spent his formative years before relocating to Australia ... More Look Again:European Paintings---Rembrandt: Restoring a Masterpiece More News Some final notes from the 'voice of god' RIO DE JANEIRO.- In 1955, Milton Nascimento was 13, learning to sing and, devastatingly to him, hitting puberty. “When I began to see my voice deepening, I said, ‘I don’t want to sing anymore,’” Nascimento, one of Brazil’s most important musical figures, recalled last week in an interview. “Because men don’t have heart.” He was crying, he said, when a smooth, soulful croon came from the radio. It was Ray Charles singing “Stella by Starlight.” “After I heard that, I said, ‘Now I can sing.’” Over the next six decades blossomed one of music’s great voices, an ethereal force that spanned octaves with emotion and verve, gliding seamlessly between a velvety baritone and a celestial falsetto. Nascimento’s singular sound and ascent to the highest notes helped influence a generation of artists. In an interview, Paul Sim ... More &pound1.5m grant to transform energy efficiency at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre GLASGOW.- Glasgow Life has been awarded a grant of just over £1.5m for important upgrading works which will enhance energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions at Glasgow Museums Resource Centre – the unique facility which houses millions of precious objects in the city’s Collections. The funding has been granted through Scotland’s Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Fund, which helps public buildings tap into investment for environmentally sustainable solutions. In line with its climate change action commitment to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases by 2045, the Scottish Government made £20m grant funding available within the 2024/25 financial year through Scotland’s Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Fund. The Glasgow Museums Resource Centre grant is one of more than a dozen awarded ... More Lisa Kudrow brings her daffy charm to 'Time Bandits' NEW YORK, NY.- Lisa Kudrow doesn’t particularly like to travel. Raised and based in Los Angeles, she mostly hasn’t had to. Even the quintessential New York sitcom “Friends” was shot in Burbank. “I like LA,” she said in a video call from her home there. “I guess vacations are nice, but I feel like I live in a vacation spot so, where am I going? I can watch a video.” But when filmmaker Taika Waititi sent her a message on Instagram asking if she would come to New Zealand to star in a series-length adaptation of the 1981 Terry Gilliam movie “Time Bandits,” she said yes. It was a six-month commitment, but in one of the few places on Earth that Kudrow had always wanted to visit. And, as she said with a laugh, “no one’s putting me in a Hobbit movie.” There are bigger departures from Middle-earth than “Time Bandits,” a 10-part adventure-fantasy based on a movie ... More Bennington to revive dance program of Philadelphia arts school NEW YORK, NY.- Two months after the University of the Arts in Philadelphia closed, the school’s dance program will be revived at Bennington College in Vermont, which will absorb the dance school, three staff members and nearly 50 students, the college announced Thursday. “What they are doing is the future of dance,” said Laura Walker, president of Bennington College, who helped raise nearly $1.3 million from philanthropists to make it happen. The money included a donation of $1 million from Barbara and Sebastian Scripps, who run a nonprofit focused on arts education. “It’s a tough time, and we hope this will be a model for others,” Walker said. Nearly 1,150 students and 700 employees were left adrift after the University of the Arts president, Kerry Walk, abruptly closed the school in June, citing financial woes, and then resigned. ... More Baldwin's 'Blues for Mister Charlie,' 60 years after it hit Broadway NEW YORK, NY.- One spring day in 1964, among the glittering theater marquees of Times Square, James Baldwin was en route to rehearsal for his new Broadway production, “Blues for Mister Charlie,” and he’d had a lot on his mind. Four little girls had been killed in a church bombing in Birmingham, Alabama, just months earlier, and the white producers of his play had been after him to soften the script, suggesting it might be inappropriate for Broadway. By the time he reached the theater, he was furious. David Leeming, Baldwin’s friend and biographer, recently recalled that day’s “horrible rehearsal,” in which Baldwin stormed in and climbed a ladder. Towering over the cast and crew, he went on a tirade, Leeming, 87, said in an interview, “essentially accusing them of failing to see his vision.” Besides cutting a swear word or two from ... More Meshell Ndegeocello could have had stardom but chose music instead NEW YORK, NY.- A good musician’s relationship with the past is tricky. You want to move forward without entirely forsaking what you’ve already done. You don’t want it defining you when so much future defining lies ahead. It’s a dilemma Meshell Ndegeocello was thinking through at her dining room table in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, on a recent afternoon. Ndegeocello happens to be much more than merely a good musician. She’s been playing professionally since the early 1990s and, at 55, is about to release her 14th album, a collection of songs that excites her. The past — the repertoire, the old stuff, the hits — can start to feel like “karaoke of myself,” she said, even if that’s never what it’s been like for us folks in the audience. Take her performances earlier this year at the Blue Note, the essential Greenwich Village jazz club. Over ... More Asian Art Museum of San Francisco presents "Rhythmic Vibrations" first-ever American pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- From Aug 30 – Dec 1, 2024, the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco presents Rhythmic Vibrations, a history-making group exhibition that is the first time both the museum and the United States have been invited to organize a national pavilion at the Gwangju Biennale in Gwangju, South Korea.

More Changes at the helm of Australia's leading international arts festival ADELAIDE.- It was announced today that Ruth Mackenzie CBE, Artistic Director of Adelaide Festival, has accepted an exciting new opportunity from the South Australian Government as Program Director, Arts, Culture and Creative Industries Policy within the Department of Premier & Cabinet.

More Heritage celebrates the entire history of animation in its Glad Museum Collection event DALLAS, TX.- Rarely does a single auction encompass the entire history of an art form. But on August 16-19, Heritage will do just that when it presents The History of Animation: The Glad Museum Collection Signature® Auction. The Glad Museum, a vast collection built over decades by one man with impeccable taste and encyclopedic knowledge of animation’s international trajectory, is on offer over four days and more than 1500 lots that, in a sense, chronicle the entire rollercoaster of the 20th century and show us the rich and fascinating landscape of animation’s greatest artists and titles — from Winsor McCay’s earliest outings just after the turn of the century and Ub Iwerks’ introduction of Mickey Mouse, to UPA and Warner Brothers’ smart and stylish mid-century masterpieces to The Simpsons’ Homer and Bart (and everything in between). ...

Henri Cartier-Bresson (August 22, 1908 - August 3, 2004) was a French photographer considered to be the father of modern photojournalism.
