February 11, 2021 at 5:01 PM The modern approach plays out in its new look, which patrons will see on everything from posters outside the box office to tickets to the website and social media. The static typeface of yesteryear, which looks the same no matter where it’s applied, is gone. In its place is a new custom, variable typeface called “ABC Symphony” that evokes the sensation of singing. – Fast Company Tags: Art, Music, 02.10.21137 people like this. Like
February 11, 2021 at 4:01 PM If computers could do literature, they could invent like Wells and Homer, taking over from sci-fi authors to engineer the next utopia-dystopia. And right now, you probably suspect that computers are on the verge of doing just so… Yet despite all this gaudy credentialing, the hoax is a complete cheat, a total scam, a fiction of the grossest kind. Computers can’t grasp the most lucid haiku. Nor can they pen the clumsiest fairytale. Computers cannot read or write literature at all. And they never,...

February 11, 2021 at 4:32 PM Understanding postcritique begins with understanding what has been the dominant mode of interpretation in literary studies for many decades: critique. Critique involves giving an account of a text that is not the account the text would give of itself. The novel or story or poem, from this perspective, is never really about what it says it’s about. Nor is it, often, about what a non-academic reader would think it’s about. Only the critic, trained in theoretical inquiry, can unmask the social hie...

February 11, 2021 at 2:04 PM “That semicolons, unlike most other punctuation marks, are fully optional and relatively unusual lends them power; when you use one, you are doing something purposefully, by choice, at a time when motivations are vague and intentions often denied. And there are very few opportunities in life to have it both ways; semicolons are the rare instance in which you can; there is absolutely no downside.” – The New York Times Magazine Tags: Art, Words, 02.09.21126 people like this.

February 11, 2021 at 2:28 PM “Without visible exemplars, many queer women and non-binary people question their own place within the art form. “Growing up, I felt like I was the only one,” says Kiara DeNae Felder, a queer, non-binary dancer with Montreal’s Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. “I felt like, ‘Maybe there’s a reason I don’t see other people like me.’” – The Guardian Tags: Art, Dance, Montreal, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, 02.10.21, Kiara DeNae Felder138 people like this.

February 11, 2021 at 3:01 PM “When Professor Herbert began delving into Impressionism, the field was threatened by a kind of anemic gentility, arid formalism and French literary theory. His method, by contrast, was to locate works of art within a matrix of social and biographic details, while being careful not to reduce them to the politics of their day, or of ours.” – The New York Times Tags: Art, People, Herbert, 02.08.21, Robert L Herbert67 people like this.

February 11, 2021 at 1:29 PM Fundraising for the project has been at a virtual standstill for the past two years, since Vancouver’s Chan family, headed by Burrard International Holdings founder Caleb Chan, committed $40 million toward the project now estimated to be worth $355 million, including a $50 million endowment fund.

February 11, 2021 at 1:02 PM What you get is writer-performer Kris Andersson’s Dixie’s Happy Hour, “a 95-minute performance streamed to patrons of 21 arts centers and theaters across the country. … A year into the pandemic, streaming shows are nothing new, but Andersson’s approach of a touring schedule rather than a one-off with a particular theater is novel.

February 11, 2021 at 12:03 PM “The story of breaking’s meteoric rise to the Olympic stage — it’s set to make its debut at the Paris Summer Games in 2024 — involved an unlikely and reluctant partnership between street-savvy breakers and traditional ballroom dancers, an evolution of an urban art form into a competitive endeavor and a lightning-fast education campaign to sell Olympic officials and a curious sporting public that breakers are very much athletes.” – The Washington Post Tags: Art, Dance, Paris, 02.09.21146 people like this.

February 11, 2021 at 12:32 PM For several years in the 1950s, starting in 1952, Oscar night featured simultaneous gatherings in Los Angeles and New York. One can imagine something similar happening this year — maybe even including cities outside of the U.S. like London, Paris and Seoul, since the Academy’s membership is now truly international — to spare people from having to undertake long-distance travel and to allow for greater social distancing at each venue. – Hollywood Reporter Tags: Art, New York, Hollywood, Media, Los Angeles, Seoul, Academy, London Paris, 02.10.2195 people like this.

February 11, 2021 at 12:48 PM Have you ever sat down to start a deck and thought to yourself, “I have no idea where to start!”? We understand, we’ve been there too. What we’ve learned throughout the years, is that a back story is really important in establishing your message. Knowing the big picture before deciding what parts of it to tell can hone your messaging into perfect refinement. We think a SWOT analysis is a powerful tool to understand your brand, anticipate questions, and ultimately tell the best story possible.

February 11, 2021 at 10:02 AM Some of the recommendations are both obvious and overdue: no more yellowface/brownface/blackface, hire more diverse choreographers (but classical choreographers, not contemporary or hip-hop as is the past), tights that match skintones, etc. Other measures will face more resistance, especially the suggested changes in the way the company recruits dancers and students. – Pointe Magazine Tags: Art, Dance, Paris Opera Ballet, 02.09.2189 people like this.

February 11, 2021 at 11:01 AM The ancient conch shell was discovered at the site of some cave art in the French Pyrenees back in 1931, when archaeologists figured it must have been some sort of ceremonial cup. Now researchers using CT scans have determined that the shell was decorated and that its two holes had to have been man-made, most likely to accommodate a mouthpiece. They’ve managed to get three notes from the shell even without any mouthpiece (sound clip included). – Wired Tags: Art, Music, 02.10.2168 people like this. Like
February 11, 2021 at 11:32 AM In a category that has historically overlooked female directors, this feels like progress.

Therein lies the challenge. Anyone can copy an MP4 video so how does he make this work unique?

This week in my Skinny Classic meal planner I'm channeling all the cozy things I love lately - a cup of tea and a good book. I forgot about all the cute tea cups and chairs in the Bookish sticker book. I bought this cute pink Japanese ceramic tea mug with spoon and lid on Amazon. The cover keeps my tea warm.
I also love the journaling book, 52 Lists for Happiness. It's a great way to get yourself to journal each day.
Here's to more cozy this week for everyone!
