LONDON.- In December 1971, a man at the exit of the Museum of Modern Art in New York had a question for departing visitors: “What did you think of the Yoko Ono exhibition?” Some were confused (“What exhibition?”), others irritated (“I couldn’t find it!”) or delighted (“Well I just thought it was amazing”). To a man who had trouble locating the show, the interviewer conceded, “It’s here, it’s just mostly in people’s minds.” The man nodded. “Yes,” he said, “I thought that might be the case.” These were some of the reactions to Ono’s “Museum of Modern (F)art,” a self-appointed MoMA debut, staged without the museum’s permission. She published a catalog, placed ads in The Village Voice and inserted a sign at the museum entrance stating that hundreds of perfume-soaked flies had been released inside. It was up to visitors to find them, the notice said, perhaps by following the errant wafts of ... More

'Shawshank' in China, as you've never seen it before BEIJING.- When a stage production of “The Shawshank Redemption” opened recently in China, it was cast entirely with Western actors speaking fluent Mandarin Chinese. But that may have been the least surprising part of the show. That the show — an adaptation of the Stephen King novella that became one of the most beloved movies of all time — was staged at all seemingly flew in the face of several trends in China’s cultural sphere. Chinese audiences’ interest in Hollywood films is fading, with moviegoers turning to homegrown productions. China’s authoritarian government has stoked nationalism and cast Western influence as a political pollutant. Censorship of the arts has tightened. Yet the production reflects how some artists are trying to navigate the changing landscape of both what is permissible and what is marketable in ... More
Yale apologizes for its connections to slavery NEW YORK, NY.- Yale University on Friday issued a formal apology for its early leaders’ involvement with slavery, accompanied by the release of a detailed history of the university’s connections to slavery and a list of what it said were initial steps to make some amends. The announcement came more than three years after Yale announced a major investigation into the university’s connections to slavery, the slave trade and abolition, amid intense national conversations about racial justice set off by the murder of George Floyd. And it frames what the school’s leaders say will be a continuing commitment to repair. “We recognize our university’s historical role in and associations with slavery, as well as the labor, the experiences and the contributions of enslaved people to our university’s history, and we apologize for the ways that Yale’s leaders, over the course ...

Mostyn restages large scale outdoor Minimalist work on West Shore Beach, Llandudno WALES.-Mostyn, Llandundo, Wales, is presenting a new exhibition of work by American artist, Rosemarie Castoro (1939-2015) and also restaging one of her most ambitious public projects on a prominent location - a work only ever presented one time before in the late 1970s in New York, and created from over 150 trees trunks. The work - 'Trap A Zoid' - described by Castoro as “painting you can walk in” is visible from the West Shore, overlooking Llandudno beach and was created for this second iteration using reclaimed tree trunks donated by a local North Welsh timber cooperative. The original outdoor work has only ever been shown only once, in 1978, for Creative Time’s Art on the Beach on Manhattan’s lower east side. Castoro chose to work with cylindrical logs to create a field in the form of an asymmetrical geometric shape. A drawing in the collection ... More
M reveals Dieric Bouts' secrets, take a look behind the studio doors of Leuven's Flemish master LEUVEN.- The new exhibition ‘Atelier Bouts’ introduces visitors to the science behind 15th-century painting techniques. Six iconic masterpieces from the studio of the Flemish Master Dieric Bouts are examined layer by layer. The exhibition is an intimate follow-up to the international retrospective ‘DIERIC BOUTS. Creator of Images’. How did the Flemish Masters create their iconic paintings? And what materials did they use in the various layers? Was Bouts the sole mastermind behind the works that we attribute to his hand? And how should we restore these paintings – some 500 years later? ‘Atelier Bouts’ provides the scientific answers to all these questions. Visitors can see, in unprecedented detail, six of the most iconic works to have emerged from the studios of Dieric and Albrecht Bouts over five centuries ago. Thanks to state-of-the-art imaging techniques ... More
Ayana Ross exhibit now on view at the Reading Public Museum READING, PA.- The Reading Public Museum is curently exhibiting Ayana Ross: When You Came, on view in The Museum’s Irvin and Lois Cohen Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art since February 17 through to June 2, 2024. This engaging body of recent work by Atlanta-area contemporary figurative painter Ayana Ross (b. 1977) reflects her wide range of inspirations.

The artist captures poignant, sometimes nostalgic, moments that address broader issues of identity, race, family, and memory. Her large-scale compositions often include monumental figures and messages that feel like modern-day parables, expressing universal truths. Ross was the recipient ... More

On a day like today, American photographer Ansel Adams was born
September 20, 1902. Ansel Easton Adams (February 20, 1902 - April 22, 1984) was an American landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West. He helped found Group f/64, an association of photographers advocating "pure" photography which favored sharp focus and the use of the full tonal range of a photograph. He and Fred Archer developed a system of image-making called the Zone System, a method of achieving a desired final print through a technical understanding of how the tonal range of an image is the result of choices made in exposure, negative development, and printing. In this image: Ansel Adams, Vertical Aspens (1958).
