NEW YORK, NY.- Many relationships need a breather here and there, and that includes those between galleries and art fairs. This year, New York dealer Edward Tyler Nahem returns to showing at Art Basel Hong Kong after eight years away. Edward Tyler Nahem Fine Art does not have a gallery branch in Asia, and Nahem said he felt hampered by not having “boots on the ground” there. He added that with so many fairs around the world, “I don’t want to spread myself too thin.” Nahem has hired some local talent to help him prepare for the fair ... More

WASHINGTON, DC.- One crawled across the rain-drenched ground of what is now Texas more than 270 million years ago, possibly feasting on fast-moving insects. The other endeared himself to millions as the banjo-playing roving newscaster and reluctant beau of Miss Piggy, known as Kermit the Frog. Now they share a name. On Thursday, scientists announced that they had named a newly identified ancient ancestor of modern-day amphibians Kermitops gratus in honor of Kermit the Frog. Although it couldn’t sing “Rainbow Connection” or deliver the news, the salamanderlike species seemed to bear a striking resemblance to the beloved Muppet, said Calvin So, a doctoral student in the department of biological sciences at George Wash ...

Sculpture celebrating superpowers of seaweed unveiled on the York shire coast
SCARBOROUGH HARBOUR.- Invisible Dust and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust revealed first images of Sea Oak, a new public sculpture by internationally-renowned artist Paul Morrison, unveiled this week in North Yorkshire as part of the Wild Eye coastal art and nature trail. Made from water-jet cut stainless steel, the newly-commissioned work has been installed in Scarborough Harbour, overlooking the North Sea. Created in the shape of Fucus Vesiculosus or Bladderwrack - an ecologically-important seaweed species common to the UK - the highly-polished structure reflects both the viewer and the ever-changing coastal conditions, celebrating the important role that seaweed plays in contributing to the health of the ocean, whilst inviting audiences to reflect on their own interconnection with the natural world. Bladderwrack ... More

Looking for love with Burt Bacharach, and finding a prayer
NEW YORK, NY.- In most parts of the world, it’s true that love — the sweeter the better — is the only thing that there’s just too little of. In Mark Morris’ “The Look of Love,” set to music by Burt Bacharach with new arrangements by Ethan Iverson, love is the fuel, the pursuit, the ultimate destination. There are hugs, there are outstretched arms — to say a little prayer for you, Morris-style — and there is heartbreak. In some moments the dancers’ bodies wilt, as if caught in a sigh. The work, set to 14 songs and running at just over an hour, opened with the curtain down and an instrumental overture of “Alfie” by Iverson, whose piano playing was delicate but still cut through the air, quieting the energy of the crowd. When the curtain rose to “What the World Needs Now,” it felt apt, setting the tone for a dance in which love is the wellspring for ... More

Alan Cumming's outsider Cabaret
NEW YORK, NY.- “I hope you don’t mind — I’ll have a coterie of boys coming in all night,” Alan Cumming joked as he sidled into a banquette at an Upper West Side wine bar last week. A director had messaged him on Instagram, hoping to get Cumming to act in his short film, and they’d agreed to meet directly after this interview. Already that day, the 59-year-old Scottish actor had filmed a television appearance in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District, posed for two photo sessions and gone for a swim. Later, he was seeing comedian Alex Edelman’s one-man show at the Beacon Theater before driving up to Boston the next day to perform his cabaret, “Alan Cumming Is Not Acting His Age.” The show, which he’s been touring since 2021, made its New York premiere earlier that week at Studio 54. Cumming knows the space well; he reprised his role ... More

Tony Cragg's new exhibition 'New Sculptures' opens at Thaddaeus Ropac
SALZBURG.- Focusing on his most recent bodies of work, this exhibition offers a view into the breadth of Tony Cragg’s latest formal developments, which are defined by the British artist’s continual investigation into the possibilities of a wide range of materials and his exploration of both the natural and the man-made worlds. ‘His work has the accumulated effect of subtly unsettling the certainties of such categories, whilst allowing us to think – through sculpture – about the complex material connectivities between […] culture and nature,’ writes art historian Jon Wood. Cragg’s abstract sculptures manifest entirely unprecedented forms that nevertheless spark a sense of recognition as they gesture to the world around us. The monumental work Karst (2020) evokes geological patterns of erosion. The artist has stated, ‘although ... More

Black pop artists have long gone country. Here's a brief history.
NEW YORK, NY.- When Beyoncé confirmed that she would be going all-in on country music with “Cowboy Carter,” the second part of a project that began with her 2022 album “Renaissance,” conversation about pop artists turning to the genre — and how Black artists are received in Nashville — began to heat up. Country remains a cloistered segment of the music industry where Black performers continue to face an especially challenging path — despite the fact that Black pioneers have been essential to the genre, including Lesley Riddle, known as Esley, a guitarist and folklorist who taught the Carter Family in the 1930s and Charley Pride, who scored more than 50 Top 10 country hits from the 1960s through the ’80s. In the past few years, Lil Nas X sparked cultural debate and hit chart gold with “Old Town Road,” a country-rap mashup ... More

Julie Robinson Belafonte, dancer, actress and activist, dies at 95
NEW YORK, NY.- Julie Robinson Belafonte, a dancer, actress and, with singer Harry Belafonte, one half of an interracial power couple who used their high profiles to aid the civil rights movement and the cause of integration in the United States, died on March 9 in Los Angeles. She was 95. Her death, at an assisted living facility in the Studio City neighborhood, was announced by her family. She had resided there for the last year and nine months after living for decades in New York City. Belafonte, who was white and the second wife of Harry Belafonte, the Black Caribbean-American entertainer and activist, had an eclectic career in the arts. At various times she was a dancer, a choreographer, a dance teacher, an actress and a documentary film producer. Julie Belafonte traveled the nation and ... More

Joan Jonas' island home as canvas and stage
NEW YORK, NY.- The view never ends from the weathered porch of Joan Jonas’ summer home on a hill in Cape Breton Island, on the tip of Nova Scotia. Just beyond a thicket of treetops, the Gulf of St. Lawrence sways in a gradient of blues, a cobalt horizon line hovering where sea meets sky. For decades, the vista has served as the summer backdrop for New York City artists — including Richard Serra, Philip Glass, Robert Frank and June Leaf — seeking rugged beauty, anonymity and temperate weather. For Jonas, 87, who arrived with friends in the ’70s, it has been a canvas. “I performed in it,” she said of the landscape in a recent interview, her voice gruff and blunt but not unkind. “It inspired me. What can I say?” Many honorifics have been heaped on Jonas in an attempt to sum up her trailblazing legacy and elusive spirit: vanguard, ... More
