WHATEVER happened to Lizzie Borden? Claudia Weill? Joyce Chopra? Donna Deitch? Whatever happened to Julie Dash, Tamra Davis, Stacy Cochran, Leslie Harris, Kelly Reichardt? What all these women share is that each directed at least one -- and, in some cases, two or more -- provocative, critically acclaimed independent films, only to essentially disappear from the scene. With the exception of Ms. Davis, who went from the sexy neo-noir ''Guncrazy'' in 1992 to directing slobbering studio comedies like ''Billy Madison,'' most of these women have spent most of the last decade relegated to near obscurity, cable television or developmental limbo. Not one of these women has the sort of sustained filmmaking career enjoyed by their male counterparts, independent directors such as John … [Read more...] about FILM; Even in Independent Film, A Suit Is a Suit Is a Suit

Endowments have long been viewed as the bedrock upon which the long-term financial health of arts organizations is built — money that was painstakingly accumulated and protected over decades to finance the future. They are not rainy day funds, or pots of gold to be casually raided to cover some unforeseen expense. A manager who dipped into theirs excessively, taking out more than the widely embraced standard of 5 percent, could put themselves at risk of being cast as shortsighted, or worse, a spendthrift. But the coronavirus pandemic has challenged that orthodoxy because so many largely dormant museums, orchestras and ballet troupes are facing unmatched financial problems. So elite organizations like the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Los Angeles Philharmonic — institutions with veteran leadership and a track record of solid financial management — now feel they have to blow past the stop signs. The Lyric plans to spend $23 million from its $173 million endowment this … [Read more...] about The Sacrosanct Endowment? Not Anymore for Some Arts Groups

Earlier this month, the Blaffer Art Museum at the University of Houston opened the year with its Winter Exhibition, highlighting three different artists, each offering a window into their personal worldviews. Two of the exhibits will be on view to the public from now until mid-March. One of them, "The Secrecy of Water" by Leslie Martinez , is a collection of abstract paintings highlighted by colorful ridges of texture. According to Martinez, the work is their attempt to capture the ecological makeup of the southern Texas border. Current-day social justice issues like climate change, extreme drought, and the ecological landscape of Martinez's hometown of McAllen in the Rio Grande Valley provide a peek into their past. "The crunchy fabric, the embeddedness is a lot of what you see coming out of the ground, sort of like clothing or rejected constructed materials or anything sort of submerged with dirt over it and dirts under it," Martinez says. "It's mysterious and strange. … [Read more...] about Ridges, ropes and robots ring in the new year at Houston’s Blaffer Museum

PHILADELPHIA — The star pianist Yuja Wang, fresh out of rehearsal on Tuesday with the Philadelphia Orchestra, threw her arms into the air and let out a nervous laugh. “We survived,” she said inside a dressing room stocked with dark chocolate, granola bars, a bear-shaped bottle of honey and a bag of lemons. Wang, 35, was a few days from one of the most herculean concerts of her career: a three-and-a-half-hour marathon of Rachmaninoff’s four piano concertos and “Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini” at Carnegie Hall on Saturday , a virtually unheard-of undertaking. She was excited but also a bit anxious as she imagined what was coming — the rushed rehearsals, the mammoth program and playing before an audience that will include some of her closest friends and mentors. “I have no idea what the hell I’m doing,” she said. “I’m also having the same feeling as everyone else: Let’s see where this kamikaze run is going to go. I can’t even control it, so I’m just going to go with the flow.” … [Read more...] about Yuja Wang, Daredevil Pianist, Takes on a Musical Everest

PORNOGRAPHY isn't just for dirty old men anymore. The movies that used to be shown in seedy Times Square theaters are now under bright lights at the Museum of Sex on Fifth Avenue. ''Auto Focus,'' Paul Schrader's biopic about the actor Bob Crane, who filmed his own sex life, is playing in a number of local movie houses. And Elaine May's forthcoming comedy, ''Adult Entertainment,'' which opens on Dec. 2 at the Variety Arts Theater, is about a group of actors who want to make a porn movie with class. ''People just take porn in stride these days,'' said Marc Spitz, a senior writer at Spin magazine and the author of his own porn script, which was turned into a play titled ''Shyness Is Nice'' and staged at Westbeth last year. ''There's nothing dangerous about sex anymore.'' The … [Read more...] about THEATER; Debbie’s Doing New York Now, But Rate Her PG

There are concerts, and there are events, and a hometown show in Chicago from a regrouped Fall Out Boy is definitely in the latter category, as evidenced by the line of people waiting outside in a light snow all day Wednesday to try to get inside the group’s sold-out show at the city’s long-running Metro nightclub. “Each album is so different, no matter where I am in my life, there’s an album I can listen to and get what I need,” said Maddie Ozo, 23, of Chicago, who stood in the cold for six hours to try to get on a waiting list. She even has a leg tattoo that references one of the band’s song lyrics. “They’re just my favorite,” she explained.
