(Notion Archaeological Project/University of Michigan via The New York Times) NEW YORK, NY.- It is the late fifth century B.C. and a mercenary soldier kneels in his modest quarters, digging a hole in the earthen floor. He places a small jug, called an olpe, in the hole for safekeeping and covers it with dirt. In the olpe are his savings — scores of gold coins, known as darics, each one equal to a month’s pay. But something happens to the soldier — possibly something ... More Marina Abramović, Performance for the Oceans, 2024. © Christie's Images Ltd 2024.

More Tiny sprouts spotted at the stump of the fallen Sycamore Gap tree Opening 6 September: 'Peter Schlesinger: New Sculptures and Photographic Memories' A mental gold medal winner A ranger at Hadrian’s Wall Path National Trail, inspects the shoots growing at the stump of the Sycamore Gap tree, a beloved way marker that had grown for centuries along Hadrian’s Wall in Northumberland, England, before vandals cut it down in 2023, in July 2024. (Jason Lock/National Trust via The New York Times) LONDON.- On a fine, bright morning last Friday, just like so many other fine, bright mornings, Gary Pickles took a walk.

More Photographer Stephen Shore: God’s Eye But Human | Louisiana Channel More News Jackie Fox saw the dark side of rock. Now she's playing her own way. NEW YORK, NY.- Jackie Fox grew up with a guitar in her hand. In 1975, when she was 15 years old, she was pulled off the dance floor at a Hollywood nightclub and recruited to join an all-girl teen rock band. The Runaways became a sensation and tossed Fox and her young bandmates into a turbulent industry that was also violent and sexist. In 1977, Fox quit the band. She never played music professionally again. Now, almost 50 years later, Fox has recast her experience in the form of a board game. In Rock Hard: 1977, Fox has shrunk the chaotic ’70s club scene to the size of a card table. She has written her own rules, anointed new kinds of rock stars and assumed control. Now she can play on her own terms — and win. “As soon as I decided I was going to design a game, I knew it was going to be about becoming a rock star,” Fox, 64, said ... More Two new musicals poke at the seamy underbelly of the American Dream BOSTON, MASS.- “It may surprise you,” Jackie Siegel says, “but we are not old money.” Surprise us? Probably not, but there were some context clues. Such as that she utters these words while dressed to the pink and sparkly nines, holding a tiny, fluffy dog and perched in the lap of her decades-older husband, David, whose capacious, ornately gilded chair suggests delusions of royalty. So does their home construction project: a 90,000-square-foot house modeled on the Palace of Versailles (because, you know how it is, their current 26,000 square feet are feeling cramped) and built, Jackie tells us, “in the most beautiful place in the entire world — Orlando, Florida.” The audience at the Emerson Colonial Theater in Boston got a good guffaw out of that on Thursday’s opening night of “The Queen of Versailles,” the surprising and frequently excellent ... More 'Trap' review: Pop goes the thriller NEW YORK, NY.- “Dad, this is the literally the best day of my life,” teenager Riley (Ariel Donoghue) beams to her doting father, Cooper (Josh Hartnett), in the opening minutes of M. Night Shyamalan’s “Trap.” That feeling won’t last — but for the first half of this mischievous thriller, we’re also having fun. Riley is ecstatic to have stadium floor seats for her favorite pop icon, Lady Raven (Saleka). The child’s attention is on the stage. Ours is on her father who is having visible difficulty concentrating on the show. He’s clocking the cameras, the exits, the unusual number of cops, the no-nonsense FBI profiler (Hayley Mills) muttering into her walkie-talkie. The police are hunting a serial killer named the Butcher, but all they’ve got to go on is that he’s a middle-aged man in this majority girl crowd. Underneath the thumping bass and the squeals, ... More An 18th century phenom arrives at Lincoln Center NEW YORK, NY.- Composer Marianna Martines grew up in Vienna when the city was teeming with towering figures in classical music. Haydn was her neighbor and teacher. Mozart sought her out as a duet partner. Born in 1744, Martines began her remarkable career at just 16. At 38, she became the first female composer programmed by the Society of Musicians, whose elite concert series also gave Beethoven his Viennese performance debut. But after her death, in 1812, Martines’ music mostly fell silent, a fate shared by so many female composers of her era. This week, though, the Summer for the City festival at Lincoln Center will perform Martines’ Symphony in C major (1770), a work composed decades before it was common for women to write orchestral music. The performances are a significant step in the reclamation of her music. “It was an easy decision to present ... More As hundreds of churches sit empty, some become malls and restaurants NEW YORK, NY.- Lisa Tofano was baptized, confirmed and married at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church on Lake Opeka in Des Plaines, Illinois. When she and her husband, John, visited the church last fall, however, it wasn’t to worship but rather to celebrate their 34th wedding anniversary at what the church had become: the Foxtail on the Lake, a restaurant. The transformation was not easy: The shuttered church needed an 18-month, $6 million gut renovation, and a new 3,000-square-foot kitchen, before it could start offering items such as paella and beef shawarma, said David Villegas, a managing partner of Foxtail, who said he had been “a bit nervous” before the restaurant’s opening in November about the reaction of former parishioners. For Lisa Tofano, though, “a church is more about the people than the building,” she ... More This NYC tourist hub has become trash-strewn chaos for everyone NEW YORK, NY.- Eighth Avenue in midtown Manhattan is many things. It is the first street to greet many travelers as they arrive at Pennsylvania Station or the Port Authority Bus Terminal. It is the temporary address for thousands of hotel dwellers. It is the backdrop to any night spent at a Broadway show or Madison Square Garden, or just out on the town. Eighth Avenue can also be unsettling. At the best of times, it is the Champs-Élysées of hot dog carts: a grand thoroughfare of vendors, tourists and commuters whose bustle brings the city to life. Motorists share it with bicycles, pedicabs and the occasional horse-drawn carriage. Pedestrians crowd the sidewalk and overflow into an ad hoc expansion of it, created in 2016 when the city began to cordon off a lane of traffic and paint it gray. But at the worst of times, Eighth Avenue is a Dickensian parade of humanity. ... More The Moon's most shadowy places can't hide from NASA's new camera NEW YORK, NY.- When a NASA spacecraft passes over Shackleton Crater on the moon and peers in, it sees a sea of blackness. The sun never rises high above the horizon, and the rim of Shackleton blocks the sun’s rays from ever shining directly onto the crater floor. There are more than 300 such craters on the moon, and the darkness hides an intriguing mystery: oases of frozen water, which could provide a key resource for astronauts living there in the future. Scientists have now figured out how to, in essence, flip on the light switch. How is it possible to take a picture of a place where the sun never shines? The new views are the fruits of ShadowCam, an instrument that NASA provided for Danuri, a South Korean orbiter that arrived at the moon in December. Since 2009, almost all of the moon’s surf ... More PhotoGalleries Gabriele Münter TARWUK Awol Erizku Leo Villareal Flashback On a day like today, American artist Andy Warhol was born August 06, 1928. Andy Warhol (August 6, 1928 - February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became a renowned and sometimes controversial artist. The Andy Warhol Museum in his native city, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, holds an extensive permanent collection of art and archives. It is the largest museum in the United States of America dedicated to a single artist. © 1996 - 2024 Founder: Ignacio Villarreal (1941 - 2019) Editor & Publisher: Jose Villarreal Art Director: Juan José Sepúlveda Ramírez Writer: Ofelia Zurbia Betancourt
