More PETRI Berlin. Discover the archaeology, exterior view, © National Museums in Berlin, Museum of Prehistory and Early History. BERLIN.- From under a parking lot in the center of Berlin, a team of archaeologists unearthed ancient human skeletons of nearly 4,000 forgotten dead from a bygone church cemetery paved over by a former communist regime. That was nearly two decades ago. In that time, scientists plumbed information from inside bones — some older than 1160 — and in between ancient teeth. They made startling discoveries, including that the city was inhabited nearly a century ...

Friends of the High Line, an influential nonprofit that operates the nearby 1.5-mile rail-line-turned-park, said Wednesday that it will muster supporters to attempt to thwart the development plan. The opponents of the casino proposal said the development would block views of the city from the High Line and create gusty winds and cast long shadows that could hurt local businesses. The proposal, submitted in February, would ... More Jeffrey De Blois and Tessa Bachi Haas have been promoted. Photo: Mel Taing.

More Wataru Tominaga on "Refashioning" More News New Lyman Allyn exhibition spotlights recent paintings by Marvin Espy NEW LONDON, CONN.- The Lyman Allyn presents a special exhibition of recent work by New London artist Marvin Espy. Reflecting on the senseless killing of George Floyd and the universality of human experience, Marvin Espy presents new and recent paintings in Up from the Asphalt. Using Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a framework for processing the painful last minutes of George Floyd’s life on May 25, 2020, Espy’s paintings and words offer us a pathway to unite in mourning, stand in resolve, and share in our hopes. Up from the Asphalt is on view July 13 - Oct. 20. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs suggests that human motivation follows a pyramid structure, starting with basic survival needs such as food, shelter and safety, and building to a sense of belonging, esteem and, ultimately, self-actualization. In his last breaths, George ...

More High Museum opens "Panorama" interactive installation on Friday ATLANTA, GA.- This summer, the High Museum of Art debuts the interactive outdoor environment “Panorama” (July 12-Dec. 1, 2024), a kaleidoscope of color, light and reflection by Rotterdam-based Studio Sabine Marcelis.

More OCEAN: This autumn and winter's major exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark HUMLEBAEK.- Dream and nightmare, longing and fear, beauty and horror. Above and below the surface, OCEAN will be a journey of discovery at this autumn and winter's major exhibition at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. History and the present will meet at the intersection of international art and science. We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the oceans that cover 71 per cent of our planet. The more we explore beneath the surface, the more incredible things we discover. If we browse through the image atlas of imagination, we are flooded with ideas, stories and fantastic creatures. Like all life, we – the humans - come from the ocean, which we both fear and yearn for. It is a reservoir for collective imaginations of gods, monsters and fairy tales, but today it is also a dumping ground and a resource that we have exploited. ... More Copenhagen tries rewards for good tourist behavior NEW YORK, NY.- A new fee for day trippers to Venice, Italy. A looming ban on vacation rentals in Barcelona, Spain. Restrictions on the sale of alcohol in Mallorca, Spain. At a time when overwhelmed European destinations are slapping tourists with restrictions and fees, Copenhagen, Denmark, is trying a different approach: rewarding visitors who act responsibly. Beginning Monday, tourists who demonstrate climate-friendly travel behavior by participating in the city’s green initiatives — including cycling, train travel and cleanup efforts — will be granted access to museum tours, kayak rentals, free meals and more. “We must turn tourism from being an environmental burden into a force for positive change,” said Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, the CEO of Wonderful Copenhagen, the tourism organization for the Capital Region of Denmark. An important ... More Exhibition showcases instances of humanity's mark on the natural world through the photographs SANTA MONICA, CA.- ROSEGALLERY will present de terra, a group exhibition curated by Jaushua Rombaoa. de terra showcases instances of humanity’s mark on the natural world through the photographs of Penelope Umbrico, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Jo Ann Callis, Kennedi Carter, William Eggleston, Robbert Flick, Todd Hido, Graciela Iturbide, Rinko Kawauchi, Manfred Müller, Asako Narahashi, and Martin Parr. From both urban to natural spaces, one cannot deny humankind’s presence in our surroundings. A clear distinction between artificial and virgin landscapes is quite evident. For example, land is leveled in order to build sprawling metropolitan areas yet there are untouched landscapes designated as protected wilderness zones. However, over time, the symbiotic relationship between humanity and Earth has begun ... More Serge Attukwei Clottey has been invited to cover the façade of the Fundació Antoni Tàpies BARCELONA.- The Museu Tà pies presents the project Beyond the Skin, by Ghanaian artist Serge Attukwei Clottey, a reflection on the environmental crisis, migrations and the global economic system. Through his installations, sculptures and actions, Clottey invites us to reflect collectively and transversally about the environment and the global economy, marked by inequalities and contradictions, and the migrations that result from these. The artist’s first project in Spain features an installation that covers the front of the museum until December, as well as a public programme involving dialogue and collaboration with different communities living in Barcelona. The project Beyond the Skin springs from the work of Serge Attukwei Clottey (b. Ghana, 1985) on what the artist calls afrogallonism, a concept that confronts global material culture by cutting, drilling, stitching and melting found materials. ...

More Defeated by Artificial Intelligence, a legend in the board game Go warns: Get ready for what's next SEOUL.- Lee Saedol was the finest Go player of his generation when he suffered a decisive loss, defeated not by a human opponent but by artificial intelligence. Lee was beaten by AlphaGo, an AI computer program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit. The stunning upset, in 2016, made headlines around the world and looked like a clear sign that artificial intelligence was entering a new, profoundly unsettling era. By besting Lee, an 18-time world champion revered for his intuitive and creative style of play, AlphaGo had solved one of computer science’s greatest challenges: teaching itself the abstract strategy needed to win at Go, widely considered the world’s most complex board game. “I am very surprised because I have never thought I would lose,” Lee said at the time in a post-match news conference. “I didn’t know that AlphaGo would play such a perfect Go.” But the implications ... More A queer mountain lion leaps from the page to the stage NEW YORK, NY.- The concept behind Henry Hoke’s 2023 novel, “Open Throat,” is an eyebrow-raising one: It’s a story about overdevelopment and climate change narrated by a mountain lion who muses on the lives of hikers and loved ones. Hoke was loosely inspired by the mountain lion known as P-22, whose regular sightings in the hills surrounding the Los Angeles Hollywood sign, successful crossing of two freeways and eventual death captured the public’s attention in 2022. In “Open Throat,” according to the book’s publisher, the animal identifies as queer and uses they and them pronouns. The book is “what fiction should be,” novelist Marie-Helene Bertino wrote in her review for The New York Times, and it made several end-of-year best-of lists and awards short lists. With an internal monologue that has poetically broken stanzas ... More William E. Burrows, historian of the space age, is dead at 87 NEW YORK, NY.- William E. Burrows, who as a journalist and author explored the promise and perils posed by outer space — including the proliferation of weapons and spy satellites and the threat of potentially earth-shattering asteroids — died June 29 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. He was 87. His death, in a hospital, was confirmed by his former wife, Joelle Hodgson, who said the cause was kidney failure. Presaging his career by crash-landing model airplanes in his family’s living room in Queens, near Idlewild Airport (now Kennedy International Airport), and surreptitiously taking flying lessons in a Piper Cub as a teenager, Burrows covered air travel, space technology, government secrecy and other subjects for The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Wall Street Journal. He wrote 14 books and established a graduate program ...
