Just Curious

By barefooted on Wed, 02/12/2020 - 1:07pm |

Who's still around these parts? I see Flavius, AA, jollyroger and rmrd as "readers" and, naturally, a few of the headline gang. Since I'm not here on a regular basis I'm sure I'm missing some ... but who? I'd truly be saddened to think this wonderful place has become a virtual water cooler.

Even so, just being here makes me smile.

When You Can’t Go Home Again: Immigrants and Artists Reflect

By artappraiser on Sun, 01/12/2020 - 12:51pm |

The review of this show reminds me that I have noticed a trend in elite and expensive contemporary art, especially as wealthy collectors are global, to seek out and regard new immigrant talents in MFA programs, especially African diaspora. Partly because at this point in time Africa is seen as where all the cultural excitement is. This seems to aggravate some Afro-American artists, who feel that they deserve this moment in the sun first.

Neuromancer grown up: Future as Past

By PeraclesPlease on Tue, 12/10/2019 - 2:43am |

We're already living he future - not as a singularity, but as a haphazard assault on the senses.

Will we survive? How even to process this as a writer - there's nothing ooh-aah that's not taken over in 5 seconds by something outlandish on the outside, either political ore technological or societal. The Seer is struggling to keep up.

Maus Over: A Look in the Spiegel, Man

[worth holding around longer than In The News pieces]

While Art Spiegelman became the persona he'd resisted:

Fascinating read how comic book heroes grew up mainly as creation of mainly underclass Jews as some kind of New York groundswell of response to rising fascism:
