I won’t listen to Michael Jackson’s music anymore. But I’ll still watch Woody Allen’s movies. Here’s why.

I won’t listen to Michael Jackson’s music anymore. But I’ll still watch Woody Allen’s movies. Here’s why.

The credible evidence presented in HBO’s new four-part documentary about Michael Jackson, Leaving Neverland, wasn’t my final straw. Rather, Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck’s accounts of the years of molestation and rape they survived at Jackson’s home was the nail in an already-shut coffin. As much as I once loved “Billie Jean,” the testimonies only confirmed that I can no longer listen to Jackson’s music as if it exists in a vacuum. Yet I can’t universally declare boycotts when allegations…

Montpelier Artist Hope Sharp Captures Weddings in Oil Paint

Two willowy women in long pink dresses occupy a narrow vertical canvas in Hope Sharp’s Montpelier studio.

Today, these works are precious and unwitting documents of a world altered by the ravages of climate change, overhunting, urbanization and other human activity. The Watercolour World, financed by the London-based Marandi Foundation, is a free online database of watercolors painted before…

Outsider Art of the Moment: 66 Exhibitors, 7 Countries, 1 Fair

Outsider Art, which once had fringe cachet, is now pretty well inside the mainstream fold. As a genre, it has developed branding strategies, a collecting base and a marketable canon of mostly male stars, with Henry Darger, Martín Ramírez and Bill Traylor leading the list. All three are present, like tutelary deities, in the 27th New York City edition of the show, at the Metropolitan Pavilion. With 66 exhibitors from seven countries, it’s an expansive display of mostly smallish, textured,…

Rio artists stage show on street in protest against censorship

Artists in Rio de Janeiro have staged a pop-up street show to protest against the closure by the new far-right state government of an exhibition because of a performance attacking dictatorship-era torture. Álvaro Figueiredo, the curator of Literatura Exposta Literature Exposed, accused authorities of censorship after the exhibition was ordered to close a day early to prevent a performance by the Rio collective És Uma Maluca that featured nudity and plastic cockroaches. This is not the first time art has…
