On Our Radar:
Kentridge Takes Manhattan
Posted by:  Rob Tallia
Friday, March 12, 2010
There are great artists, and then there are great artists like William Kentridge. To see a Kentridge exhibit is to witness something truly rare: an artist who is an unquestioned genius in not one but several mediums. Can he paint? Yup. Can he sculpt? Yup. Can he make movies? Yup. Sketch? Yup. Make 3-D live-action back-screen projection moving theater pieces? Yup. (You'll need to see this in person to understand exactly what that is). Oh, and can he do set design for, say, the Metropolitan Opera? Yup. It's the year of Kentridge here in NYC, with this exhibit timed perfectly with his set design for Shostakovitch's "The Nose" at the Met, as well as other events such as lectures, live performances, and fans such as myself making hushed obeisances to the master. Is all this artsy-fartsy hype worth it? Yes, it is. He's totally amazing. He WILL blow your mind.

City Life

By Rob Tallia
What is city life? At its best, a seamless interaction of people, ideas, movement, culture, and solitude. Solitude, because behind every closed door is a family—perhaps of one, or two, or ten, occasionally a “manufactured” family of roommates—but even in the most disparate of circumstances, the occasional meal (be it take-out from the corner Chinese), shared television-watching experience (Oscars, Super Bowl, latest reality-TV finale), or communal party to celebrate a birthday, new job, quit job, return from abroad, whatever. And yet, solitude, since even one’s roommates and family members, being city dwellers, are at least occasionally on the move, away from home, traveling on business, visiting the ersatz family homestead in the ‘burbs, etc. leaving one to oneself.

Breaking into Non-Profit Arts

By Liz Pink
Young, talented, poor and striving. Artists are a mysterious lot. Will they make it, or will we wipe our hands of them, devilishly and unforgivingly. J/K. Liz Pink offers truckloads of making-it-in-the-big-city advice that only a very rich or successful artist could pass up. Join her.

 Free NYC

By Krista Apple
When Krista Apple moved to NYC, a friend shoved her into a corner and hissed, "They charge you to breathe here." But Krista could not be deterred. She vowed to seek out the cheapest eats, drinks and arts this side of the Appalachians. Now, let her show you the way.
