Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In 2018/2019, the last time Broadway had a full 52-week season, more than 14.77 million people attended a Broadway show. According to the Broadway League these productions have drawn more people to its theaters than all New York City sports teams combined. And yet, during its centuries of existence, Broadway never had its own dedicated museum in the heart of the theater district. That is until now. This past November the Museum of Broadway opened its doors on West 45th Street. Spread along four fun-packed floors, the 26,000 square foot space contains a plethora of costumes, original scripts, immersive exhibits and other unique artifacts. There’s everything from the original Ziegfeld Follies costumes from the early 1900s to the actual wig made from 100,000 strands of hair created by wigmaker Paul Huntley for Patti LuPone in the original 1979 Broadway production of Evita to correspondence between Rent … [Read more...] about They Turned Their Dream To Create A Show-Stopping Museum Devoted To Broadway Into A Reality

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Since the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted all the players in the cultural world, it has never been more important for museums to know their “customers” and build their loyalty. It’s no longer enough for museums to serve as monuments of conservation, curation, and stewardship of art collections—they now have to re-examine their mission considering new possibilities and figuring out how digital connections can further their mission. In addition, to remain sustainable into the future, museums must be freshly relevant and engaging to every new generation. Tremendous opportunities are, therefore, to be seized. One thing still holds true, however. The value of museums will always center on direct experience. Being up close and personal with artifacts you can look at and, in some cases, touch is a distinctly different and more powerful experience than viewing content online. In a recent report by The Art Newspaper , while … [Read more...] about Re-Examining The Role Of Museums In The Digital Age: MIM Director Weighs In

The Southern Poverty Law Center bankrupted the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups through the power of the legal system—and so it might have come as a surprise when the organization recently unveiled its new logo, it was conspicuously lacking the scales of justice icon that had defined the organization for years. It was a change that no one on the project team took lightly—but the organization was committed to bold moves, and for good reason. “Historically, it’s been a law firm, it’s been a legal service for voting rights and civil rights and advocacy groups, but over time, it’s expanded into something that’s much more than that,” says Chris Mihal, SPLC’s director of creative. In 2022, the organization completed a new strategic framework focused on its four key offerings: law, education, policy, and programming, centered around the critical subjects of hate and extremism, children’s rights, economic justice, immigrant justice, LGBTQ rights, criminal justice reform, … [Read more...] about Why the SPLC’s new logo ditched its famous icon

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Geroge Condo’s new exhibition, ‘People Are Strange,’ the opening installation at Hauser and Wirth’s second Los Angeles location (in West Hollywood in what was a former car showroom), is a gorgeous, exuberant show, an exciting and inspiring post-pandemic “welcome back.” The exhibition, on view through April 22, 2023, features fourteen large scale canvases and one gold-plated sculpture. Of the canvases, nine are portraits, one is a large group portrait, and the others are abstractions all painted in the last year. The space is an unusual column-free trapezoidal shape affording a variety of wall spaces in which to have unobstructed views of the large canvases. These new works continue Condo’s exploration of what he has at times called “Psychological Cubism” and reflect his absorption of Picasso’s vernacular to construct and deconstruct portraits that reflect not only different emotional states but also the passage of time. … [Read more...] about George Condo: Painting In Search Of Lost Time

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Don’t Rescue It – Design And Engineer It Through Experimentation At Scale The future has a way of sneaking up on you if you don’t have an open mind. Ten years ago, my colleague Peter Kareiva was talking about genetically engineering meat – and I thought, “That’s never going to happen in my lifetime.” And now look where we are . So what’s the future of nature? Many people answer this question by immediately assuming the worst – that human activity (led by climate change) is likely to destroy nature and all of us who depend on it. We need to pose the question as a prompt to creative thinking instead of despair. Only an open, innovative mindset will allow us to seize all the opportunities now before us. And that openness starts with being open about what nature itself is and can be. Step One: Accept That We Are Experimenting with Nature at Big Scales, and Do So Intentionally The first step in thinking … [Read more...] about Three Steps To Build The Future Of Nature
