Joey Alexander NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
Nov. 30, 2018 | Lauren Onkey -- When a baby grand piano rolls into the office for a Tiny Desk concert, you expect something special. But none of us could have imagined what it's like to see 15-year old Joey Alexander play that piano with such mastery. The thing is, when you see him play live, you quickly forget his age and get lost in the intense focus of his performance. Alexander and his stellar supporting cast — Reuben Rogers on bass and Kendrick Scott on drums — form a tight trio, lockin...

Hilma af Klint
Hilma af Klint (October 26, 1862 – October 21, 1944) was a Swedish artist and mystic whose paintings were among the first abstract art. A considerable body of her abstract work predates the first purely abstract compositions by Kandinsky. She belonged to a group called "The Five", a circle of women who shared her belief in the importance of trying to make contact with the so-called "High Masters"—often by way of séances. Her paintings, which sometimes resemble diagrams, were a visual...

From i-D Magazine:
What would you say if you saw a group of 37 shirtless black men standing together in a field? This is the question that 25-year-old Los Angeles-based photographer Brandon Stanciell posed when contemplating what to name his latest photography series. Stanciell eventually settled on 37 Niggas, a provocative but what he considers a fitting name for a project he hopes will change the way society looks at black men and black masculinity.
The series features portraits...

Enlevo de Miss Europa
Enlevo de Miss Europa - Nikias Skapinakis, 1973
Esta pintura pertence a uma série intitulada "Metamorfoses de Zeus", que Nikias Skapinakis desenvolveu durante a década de 1970. Nesse caso, os temas simbólicos da história da arte - como a pintura mitológica ou o nu feminino - são dessacralizados e banalizados por meio da exploração visual semelhante à estética gráfica do cartaz, com clara influência da pop art.
W.S. Merwin - To the New Year
With what stillness at last
you appear in the valley
your first sunlight reaching down
to touch the tips of a few
high leaves that do not stir
as though they had not noticed
and did not know you at all
then the voice of a dove calls
from far away in itself
to the hush of the morning
so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still...
Alvoroço.
