Like Tranquil House: A Brutalist Tour de Force in Suburban JapanFebruary 3, 2019 at 8:40 PM At first sight, you’d be excused if you thought that this ziggurat-like, concrete monolith in Shiga, Japan, is some kind of bunker or utility building, or maybe a fancy showcase for the adjacent concrete factory. Contrary to appearances, it is in fact a family residence designed by local practice FORM/Kouichi Kimura Architects for the factory’s owner, its “defensive”, introverted form a response...Tags: Art, Japan, Shiga Japan, Kouichi Kimura The Pleasures And Perils Of Reviving A Contemporary OperaFebruary 3, 2019 at 4:00 PM One of the main issues for performers is that they can’t escape the recordings – both audio and video – of the original performers. “The most satisfying thing is when you finally get it, and you can do it, it feels wonderful.” – The New York TimesTags: Art, Music, 02.01.19 128 people like this.

Like The Book Whose Author Dramatically Reinvented Artist JourneysFebruary 3, 2019 at 2:00 PM The book is – as any artist, or perhaps businessperson at a retreat, could tell you – The Artist’s Way. The first printing was a 9000 copies, and the publisher worried it wouldn’t sell. “We didn’t know where to put it on the shelves — did it go in religion or self-help? Eventually there was a category called ‘creativity,’ and The Artist’s Way launched it.” – The New York TimesTags: Art, Words, 02.02.19, Artist 's Way 149 people like this.

Like A Choreographer Pushing Community Against A World That ‘Is So Screwed Up’February 3, 2019 at 3:00 PM Vicky Shick creates and edits at the same time, her dancers say, so they have to pay careful attention during rehearsals. “Shick’s works have become more exacting as they reveal the complexity of who she is: a 67-year-old choreographer who was born in Hungary and had dreams of becoming a ballerina, but instead carved out a career in postmodern dance. … With precision and strangeness, her dances celebrate the very thing she finds herself racked with: vulnerability.” – The New York TimesTags: Art, Dance, Hungary, Shick, 02.01.19, Vicky Shick 83 people like this.
