Alice McDermott, 70, writer There are three kinds of novels I’ve never taken to heart: science fiction, murder mysteries and novels about novelists. So I’ve decided to try my hand at each. If I fail, they’re probably not books I’d want to read anyway. Thurston Moore, 65, musician and author I’m putting the final touches
In December 1931, the Italian commissioner of the 18th Venice Biennale penned a plea to organisers of the United States pavilion, who had yet to fully deliver their vision for the impending international art exhibition. “We should like some of your very great artists like Whistler,” he wrote, “and as for the living ones we

If Nicole Eisenman were not there to make them acquainted, the paintings she makes in the morning wouldn’t recognize those she makes in the afternoon. Her artworks, the subject of a glorious career retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, feel like determined exercises in how to bear the complexity of her own mind.
A while ago I posted on social media that I would love an event that celebrates work specifically from solo-developers, so that projects made by “just one person” don’t have to constantly compete with work created by teams. Making work on your own is difficult when you’re held to such high standards. The conversation kind

Those statements may sound self-deprecating coming from someone with four solo exhibitions at galleries
VENICE, Italy — A pair of nude feet — dirty, wounded and vulnerable — are painted on the façade of the Venice women’s prison chapel, the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and part of the Vatican’s pavilion at the Venice Biennale contemporary art show in an innovative collaboration between inmates and artists. That Cattelan
c/o Penny Zhang As I hurried to the Ring Family Performing Arts Hall on Saturday, April 13 at 8:15 p.m. to take my seat for the musical “Find the Moon,” I felt excitement building within me. I had heard a little about “Find the Moon” from a friend, but I was uncertain of what to expect. “Find the Moon”
