Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A pop of teal guides our gaze down from a perfect black circle spliced into a seven-foot sculpture composed of interacting layers of dyed hardwood, steel, glazed ceramic, and silver leaf. The imposing totemic object in a white-walled gallery challenges our perception, how we oscillate between interior and exterior spaces, and how we emotionally navigate the obscure spaces between the forms in the sculpture. Natural light on the walls eliminates the need for electricity. History Mystery (2022) is a highlight of Arlene Shechet’s solo show, Couple of , on view at ‘T’ Space, a non-profit art gallery in Rhinebeck, New York, through August 28. The exhibition follows recent solo presentations in Hong Kong and Los Angeles, drawing the work back to the Hudson Valley where Shechet lives and works.

Why Are Climate Activists Gluing Themselves To Art In Italy?
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Climate change activists glued themselves to a Futurist sculpture this week, a month after members of the same group stuck their hands to an artwork in Florence’s Uffizi gallery.

The Richest Countries In The World: Tiny Luxembourg At The Top
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Most of the countries at the top of a new list of the wealthiest in the world are not among the biggest or the mightiest. Many, in fact, are among the smallest: Consider Luxembourg , which tops the list published by Global Finance. Singapore, Ireland, Qatar, Macao and Switzerland follow the world’s only grand duchy. The indicators of a nation’s wealth can vary from one ranking to another — thus the differences among them — but often include a country’s Gross Domestic Product, or GDP (goods and services produced by a country during one year), the GDP per capita (the average amount of money that each person in a country earns in a year) or the gross national income, or GNI.

Comic Tom Segura Books Funny
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The other night Natasha, my adult-ish daughter, asked me to accompany her to a book author event for standup comic and podcaster Tom Segura’s best-selling “ I’d like to Play Alone, Please ” (Grand Central Publishing). It would take me too long to unpack all the dissonance and significance in that first sentence but suffice to say that this was so rare an event in every respect that I eagerly agreed. The evening, hosted by Live Talks LA , and introduced by the ever-gracious Ted Hapte-Graber (whose glorious leonine pandemic-grown mane remains largely untamed) took place in the theater of John Adams Middle School (JAMS) Performing Arts Center in Santa Monica which is an 800-seat state-of-the-art venue as good as any performance space on the Westside of LA (my tax dollars at work). Segura, who is one the most successful comics on the standup performance circuit, and who has four comedy specials on Netflix, the most … [Read more...] about Comic Tom Segura Books Funny

I was recently informed by the joint management office that the unit on the 15th floor has a water leak and it is due to water dripping from the common toilet.

In Colorado mountain towns, where affordable housing is scarce, “even living out of your car is gentrified”
SALIDA — Blocked from sleeping in vehicles parked within municipal boundaries, workers in profit-minded Colorado mountain towns now must seek “safe outdoor space” — in Walmart lots, forests or newly designated areas with Wi-Fi and access to bathrooms. But homeowners oppose these SOS zones in Salida and Breckenridge as “band-aids” encouraging vehicle-based living. And workers who park there are charged $300 a month in Salida and $45 in Breckenridge ($80 if rec center showers are included). Salida leaders also are purchasing camping trailers, for workers to rent for $650 a month, positioned east of town by the sewage disposal plant next to tiny homes. A camper beats couch-surfing and saves commuting time from forests, said Annie San Ramon, 18, who lives in one of the first five. She timed out of foster care, wanted to stay in Salida, where she was born and raised, and pedals a bicycle to work that includes volunteer help for restorative justice. “It’s affordable. It gives you … [Read more...] about In Colorado mountain towns, where affordable housing is scarce, “even living out of your car is gentrified”
