Die Forderung der Sängerin nach einem Ende des Mordens in Gaza hat die Grammys politisiert, was fantastisch ist.

Die 66. jährliche Grammy-Verleihung war viel ansprechender als die meisten ihrer Vorgänger. Tracy Chapmans Darbietung ihres Liedes „Schnelles Auto„mit Country-Unterzeichner Luke Combs war erlösend. Joni Mitchells Auftritt von „Both Sides Now“ war transzendent. Jay Zs Kritik an der
For the past few years, the right has worn itself out decrying “cancel culture”—claiming that left-wing mobs have destroyed the career of artists, writers, and freethinkers—and equating it with censorship. Liberals have typically been the first to point out that this is absurd. If someone says or does something that offends your sensibilities, you are of course free to avoid supporting that person’s professional or creative endeavors with your time and money. That is not censorship—it’s merely a
“Miami,” in the art world, is short for Miami Art Week, which is short for a week-long bacchanal of eye candy, nose candy, parties, and pills held in the name of shopping for art. The first week of December marks the kickoff to Miami, which features two or maybe three dozen different art fairs, the most prestigious of them being Art Basel Miami Beach, an import from Switzerland that, if you’re in the know, is simply called “the main
The 2023 winner of the prestigious Cuprinol Shed of the Year has been announced with judges giving top marks to a multi-coloured outbuilding known as the ‘Frankenshed’.
Shed-owner Archie Proudfoot, from London, used all his skills as an independent artist and sign painter to triumph over more than 200 other entrants which included A-frame ski chalet in Essex and a Japanese-inspired tea room in Bristol.
Mr Proudfoot’s creation was voted top of the ‘Colourful’ category by the general public and
Want to look radiant no matter what time of year it is (minus the sun damage)? Look no further than one of the best blush sticks on the market. Blush sticks are cream-based blush formulas that often contain skin-nourishing ingredients like shea butter or squalane and can be used on the go in different ways. Compared to powder blushes, “blush sticks work with the natural oils of your skin instead of sitting on top of it,” explains New York-based makeup
There’s an art to makeup application. First, you need the right products: a foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone, a deep bronzer to warm up your face, a rosy blush to give you a bashful glow, and so on. But once you’ve found your tried-and-true beauty products, it becomes a matter of skill and makeup tools — including the best foundation brushes.
The right products can only go so far, and the last thing you want is for
Finding the right CC cream can be challenging, especially when you’re not sure which ones are right for your skin type. While it’s easy to gravitate to whichever CC creams are trending when you’re on the lookout for one (I’m guilty of doing this when short on time or energy), familiarising yourself with the best ingredients and products that will make a difference in your skin’s appearance as it matures is important. Remember when you were encouraged to incorporate a … Read more
The Big Apple is a good place for reinvention, and the Swiss poet Frédéric-Louis Sauser had reason for a restart here in the spring of 1912. At 25 years old he’d washed up in New York Harbor, nearly penniless after trying his luck in Russia and Brazil. He couldn’t vanquish his writer’s block, and he could barely feed himself; he’d had a gig playing piano at a nickelodeon, but it didn’t last. On April 7, 1912 — Easter Sunday, when
When Doug Salati won a Caldecott Medal this year for his children’s book “Hot Dog,” the five authors and illustrators with whom he shares a Brooklyn studio space were thrilled for him — and they could also relate to his success.
Brian Floca won a Caldecott for “Locomotive” (2014). Sophie Blackall has been awarded the medal twice, for “Hello Lighthouse” (2019) and “Finding Winnie” (2016). Rowboat Watkins received an Ezra Jack Keats Award for “Rude Cakes” (2016). Johnny Marciano is
One morning in late spring, I met up with Les and Brady in New York, where they had just arrived after spending the night on their bus en route from Philadelphia, the previous stop on their tour. They were in town to play two sold-out shows at Bushwick’s thirty-four-hundred-person-capacity Avant Gardner Great Hall venue. This was a leap for the pair, whose first show, in 2018, was performed on the Internet as part of a Minecraft festival.
