I had the pleasure this week to interview the legendary artist Hafftka. Hafftka's work is represented in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, the British Museum, Brooklyn Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Carnegie Museum of Art, National Gallery of Art, and other museums.

Hafftka's digital art can be found in Web3 on most platforms mainly on the Ethereum blockchain but also on Bitcoin and Solana.Find a link to his website and socials here: https://linktr.ee/Hafftka?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=0d540dbd-8ef6-498d-b9b9-4a272bcdf587

In the 1960s, the world's attention was focused on a nail-biting race against time: Fifty countries contributed nearly a billion dollars to save a dozen ancient Egyptian temples, built during the height of the pharaohs' rule, from drowning in the floodwaters of the gigantic new Aswan High Dam. But the massive press coverage of this unprecedented rescue effort completely overlooked the gutsy French archaeologist who made it all happen. Without the intervention of Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt, the temples—including the Metropolitan Museum's Temple of Dendur—would be at the bottom of a huge reservoir. It was a project of unimaginable size and complexity that required the fragile sandstone temples to be dismantled, stone by stone, and rebuilt on higher ground. A willful, real-life version of Indiana Jones, Desroches-Noblecourt refused to be cowed by anyone or anything. As a member of the French Resistance in World War II she had survived imprisonment by the Nazis; in her fight to save the temples, she defied two of the most daunting leaders of the postwar world, Egyptian President Abdel Nasser and French President Charles de Gaulle. As she told one reporter, “You don't get anywhere without a fight, you know.” Yet Desroches-Noblecourt was not the only woman who played a crucial role in the endeavor. The other was Jacqueline Kennedy, America's new First Lady, who persuaded her husband to call on Congress to help fund the rescue effort. After a century and a half of Western plunder of Egypt's ancient monuments, Desroches-Noblecourt had done the opposite. She had helped preserve a crucial part of its cultural heritage and, just as important, made sure it remained in its homeland.Today's guest is Lynne Olson, author of “Empress of the Nile: The Daredevil Archeologist Who Saved Egypt's Ancient Temples.” We discuss why Christiane Desroches is something of a real-life female Indiana Jones, what tactics Desroches used to save Egyptian antiquities from flooding in the Nile basin, and how important her intervention was to the effort.

Relix Magazine Publisher and New York music promotor Peter Shapiro shares a special voicemail from the late great David Crosby of CSNY and discusses touring with the Grateful Dead, what's it like voting in The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and more over bourbon. Peter Shapiro Bio Peter Shapiro is a veteran concert promoter whose signature achievements over the past two decades have included Wetlands Preserve, Brooklyn Bowl, the Capitol Theatre, the Lockn' festival, U2 3D, the Jammy Awards, and Fare Thee Well, the 2015 concert event in which he reunited the "core four" members of the Grateful Dead alongside Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio for a record-breaking run of stadium shows. More recently, Shapiro founded Lockn', a music and camping festival that draws 30,000 music fans to Arrington, VA, as well as Jazz & Colors, an experiential event that he has produced in Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Chicago's Field Museum. Shapiro also created the Green Apple Festival (which took place simultaneously across eight cities) along with the Jammy Awards. He served as a producer on the We Are One inaugural concert and later returned to the National Mall to oversee Earth Day 40th anniversary celebration, the Women's March and the March for Science.

The 2023 Met Gala red carpet was back again last Sunday night at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year, the annual affair celebrated the exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”    Now, before y'all decide that the Met Gala may not be your cup of tea, listen long enough to indulge as Holly and our LADY ABOUT TOWN, Nolan, give us their rundown of the best and worst dressed candidates, and of course, some hilarious (and possibly inappropriate) commentary!   This gala honored the legacy of Karl Lagerfeld—the late designer who helmed fashion houses such as Chanel, Fendi, Chloé, and his own eponymous line—and raised funds for The Met's Costume Institute.   Just as important as the exhibition, of course, is the star-studded red-carpet spectacle that took place as guests made their way up the famous Met steps.    After all, the Met Gala—often dubbed the “Super Bowl of fashion”—has created some of the most memorable (and viral) celebrity red carpet looks from the past decade.   OVERALL THOUGHTS: This year's theme lent itself to all things Karl Lagerfeld, which in most cases focused on his years as the Creative Director at Chanel.     Translation: we saw a lot of black-and-white dressing, as well as Chanel's trademark tweed, quilting, pearls...lots of pearls, golden chains, and fabric Camellia flowers.   By the way, the craziest part of the night was the 3, count them, THREE people who dressed as Lagerfeld's beloved cat, Choupette.    BEST DRESSED Not that your favorite personal stylists always agree, here were the top outfits:   Dua Lupa (in vintage FW92 Chanel wedding couture, and a Tiffany diamond the size of the Moon) Giselle in vintage Chanel SS07 wedding couture Maude Apatow in Chloé Vanessa Hudgens in Michael Kors Florence Pugh in Valentino (but not the head-dress...um, no.) Kim Kardashian in custom Schiaparelli (in 50,000 freshwater pearls-I wonder what that's like?) Kylie Jenner in Jean Paul Guiltier  Paris Hilton in Marc Jacobs Kerry Washington in Michael Kors  Jenne Ortega in custom Thom Browne Jessica Chastain in Gucci Halle Bailey in Gucci Ashley Graham by designer Harris Reed (YYYAASSSS) Viola Davis custom hot pink Valentino Jennifer Lopez in custom Ralph Lauren Sidney Sweeney in custom Miu Miu  Anne Hathaway in white tweed Atelier Versace gown Amanda Seyfried in Oscar De La Renta gorgeous dress, but dressed as a Taylor Swift wanna be, so, Nolan said MEH.) Lea Michele in Michael Kors Anok Yai in Prabal Gurung Bad Bunny in Jacquemus (best Male according to Nolan) Rihanna in custom Valentino Lily Collins in Vera Wang Olivia WIld in custom Chloe WORST DRESSED Again, not always in agreement, but chosen with passion:   Cardi B in a grey wig and Richard Quinn pink and grey outfit-(after party look) Gigi Hadid with her entire ass was out in Givenchy Kendall Jenner in Marc Jacobs (how 'bout some pants? Hated the boots that made her 6'4”.) Lizzo in a custom black silk crêpe Chanel dress with a glass pearls harness, inspired by a look from the 1991/92 ready-to-wear collection-Solid effort but eeehhhhh? Mary J Blige in custom Burberry a plunging floral dress & matching thigh-high boots Margo Robbie in a black silk chiffon gown with plastic and gold chain detailing at the waist, first worn by Cindy Crawford as part of Chanel's haute couture spring 1993 Doja Kat was lovely in Oscar, if you cut her head off Erykah Badu in Marni-Looked like a puppet from Sesame Street Kristen Stewart in Chanel-Don't understand   For our besties of the podcast, we bring you this commentary on the Met Gala not because you are going to dress as Karl Lagerfeld's cat at a $300,000-per-person event in NYC, but because fashion is fun, whimsical and always keeps us guessing.  This late designer is iconic in every sense of the word, from his stint at Chloé to his long-standing tenures at Fendi, Chanel, and his eponymous brand to his unmissable uniform comprised of a white button-down shirt, black sunglasses, and a tailored black jacket, making him the perfect fashion figure to be honored at this year's Met Gala for the accompanying Costume Institute exhibit, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.”   Be sure to follow along with Holly's Pinterest Board to see each and every one of these styles!   Don't forget, we are the best fashion friend you never knew you needed! Join us, follow us and hang with us every Friday!  What are your faves?!? Write us in to let us know! xoxo The Only Holly You need to know  

We reconnect with the journalist Amy Odell to discuss the problematic legacy of Karl Lagerfeld, the late designer of Chanel, and the new exhibit devoted to his work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. We try to answer one of the central questions of creativity - can you separate the art from the artist? - and dive into other aspects of Lagerfeld's life and work.Support the show

How did a freshly looted Egyptian antiquity end up in the Metropolitan Museum of Art? Why did it take Kim Kardashian to crack the case? And how much of what you see in any museum is stolen? (Part 1 of “Stealing Art Is Easy. Giving It Back Is Hard.”)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This year, the annual affair celebrated the exhibition “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” According to Vogue, the gala honored the legacy of Lagerfeld—the late designer who helmed fashion houses such as Chanel, Fendi, and his own eponymous line—and raised funds for The Met's Costume Institute. The biggest stars dressed to impress or in some cases dressed to make us stressed. According to The New York Times, rumors of a possible romance between the actors Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell swirled online this week after a series of seemingly flirtatious moments catapulted them into the spotlight. The two have been filming their upcoming romantic comedy “Anyone But You” in Australia, and fans have been following along as they post affectionate photos on Instagram and paparazzi photograph them on set. Sweeney, 25, is currently engaged to restaurateur fiancé Jonathan Davino, 38, and were spotted walking around New York City on Friday, April 28, seemingly squashing split rumors. In contrast, Powell has been a hot topic on social media as his longtime girlfriend model Gigi Paris seemed to have called it quits with the Top Gun actor. Fans got a first look at “The Hunger Games” prequel titled, “The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” following the drop of the trailer at CinemaCon on Thursday, April 27. The highly anticipated trailer starts off with Viola Davis, who plays the head game maker Volumnia Gaul, introducing “the creators of the Hunger Games themselves.” 64 years, to be precise — before the adventures of Katniss Everdeen, which were immortalized on screen by Jennifer Lawrence. In the new film, a young Coriolanus Snow (who eventually becomes the vicious president of Panem) takes the spotlight as he is chosen to mentor an impoverished tribute named Lucy Gray Baird during the 10th Hunger Games. It's official! Rihanna's 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show Is now the most-watched of All Time, as stated on an updated Nielsen report. Her first live performance in over seven years garnered over 121 million viewers, surpassing Katy Perry's 2015 performance that garnered 120.7 million people. The singer brought the heat at Glendale, Ariz.'s State Farm Stadium back in February. She not only revealed she was pregnant with her and partner A$AP Rocky‘s second child, but she also performed her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits like “Only Girl (in the World),” “We Found Love,” “S&M,” “Rude Boy,” “Work” and more. Congrats to the multi-talented Rihanna. Well that's a wrap! It is surreal saying that, but genuinely, thank you everyone for tuning in to Son of a Beach every week! It's been such a fun ride. So much tea was spilled, breaking news was shared and many funny takes on pop culture were said. This podcast started out last semester as a segment in Beach Weekly and look how far we came? I created “Son of a Beach” to bring joy, fun and drama of course as a way for students and listeners to find out the latest pop culture news, but to hear a different perspective on topics. From cultural appropriation on television to Nick Cannon popping babies, a lot was discussed. Thank you to Rosie Montes and Renzo Pocasangre for partaking in the podcast throughout the semester and school year in their segments. As the season comes to a close, I want to show my gratitude to everyone at the Daily 49er for giving me the platform to share pop culture news and everything in between on a bigger scale. Lastly, I just want to say thank you for listening. This has been Kadie here. See you next time on “Son of a Beach!” Host: Kadie Gurley Guest Host: Kaitlyn Rowell Edited by: Andy Nguyen Apple Podcasts ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beach-weekly/id1488484518?uo=4⁠ Google Podcasts ⁠https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy9kMzEwMjEwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz⁠ Spotify ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/4HJaqJep02kHeIQy8op1n1⁠ Overcast https://overcast.fm/itunes1488484518/beach-weekly

Cette année, le thème du MET gala, le gala du Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, était destiné à rendre hommage à Karl Lagerfeld, personnalité grossophobe, misogyne et raciste décédé en 2019. Alors, vous vous en doutez, Mahaut a décidé de remettre les pendules à l'heure en le rôtissant lui, ses propos et ses actes… plus que problématiques. Les Mains dans la pop est une émission de Nouvelles Écoutes Animée par Mahaut Drama et Audrey Couppé de Kermadec Produite par Julien Neuville Montage, mixage et enregistrement par Livio Boullenger au studio Artistic Palace Directrice générale adjointe : Nora Hissem Directrice artistique : Aurore Mahieu Directrice des productions : Marion Gourdon Directrice commercial : Emmanuelle Fortunato Chargée de production : Cassandra De Carvalho

Le premier prix de la lose est décerné au groupe de néonazis -et oui, ils sont toujours présents- qui s'est réuni dans l'État de l'Ohio, aux États-Unis, pour manifester face à un brunch drag. Le deuxième revient à Dylan Thiry, influenceur et ex-candidat de téléréalité qui se montre en sauveur blanc pendant des séjours humanitaires dans divers pays. Dans des enregistrements récemment partagés par Booba, on entend la voix d'un homme qu'on présume être Dylan Thiry élaborer un plan qui s'apparente clairement à du trafic d'être humain, dans lequel il explique étape par étape comment il compte kidnapper une petite fille orpheline et… monnayer son adoption de manière illégale. Niveau winner, on a le passage érotique du dernier roman de Bruno Le Maire, le ministre d'Economie et des Finances, qui a le mérite d'avoir fait beaucoup rire Audrey, et pas que. Dans un genre diamétralement opposé, le peuple italien reçoit la couronne de la win en soutien. C'est le 1er mai, le jour de la fête du travail, que la présidente du Conseil des ministres d'Italie, Giorgia Meloni, choisit pour annoncer une réforme sur les aides sociales ainsi que la suppression du revenu à la citoyenneté. L'invitée de la semaine n'est autre que Tahnee, humoriste française et co-créatrice avec Mahaut du Comédie Love, un plateau mensuel où l'on parle d'amour avec humour. Iels commencent comme d'hab' par une biof, mi biographie-mi bof, pour finir avec une interview en profondeur. Au programme, ça parle de stand-up et de la force mentale qu'il faut pour se mettre à nu·e sur scène, de racisme et de lesbophobie, de La Flèche d'Or où elle organise des ateliers de stand-up ou encore de ses vidéos “rencontres rêvées” réalisées en partenariat avec le média Urbania dans lesquelles elle se retrouve en tête à tête avec une figure historique féminine représentée par… un coussin ! Cette année, le thème du MET gala, le gala du Metropolitan Museum of Art de New York, était destiné à rendre hommage à Karl Lagerfeld, personnalité grossophobe, misogyne et raciste décédé en 2019. Alors, vous vous en doutez, Mahaut a décidé de remettre les pendules à l'heure en le rôtissant lui, ses propos et ses actes… plus que problématiques. Pour finir, Audrey nous recommande Exposé·es, une exposition inspirée du livre de l'historienne Elisabeth Lebovici Ce que le sida m'a fait, Art et activisme à la fin du XXe siècle, qui a lieu au Palais de Tokyo à Paris. Y sont exposées des œuvres percutantes, parfois violentes mais aussi et surtout militantes qui dénoncent la gestion catastrophique de la crise par le gouvernement. Attention, elle prendra fin le dimanche 14 mai 2023, alors écoutez la chronique d'Audrey pour vous donner envie d'y aller et foncez réserver vos places ! Les Mains dans la pop est une émission de Nouvelles Écoutes Animée par Mahaut Drama et Audrey Couppé de Kermadec Produite par Julien Neuville Montage, mixage et enregistrement par Livio Boullenger au studio Artistic Palace Directrice générale adjointe : Nora Hissem Directrice artistique : Aurore Mahieu Directrice des productions : Marion Gourdon Directrice commercial : Emmanuelle Fortunato Chargée de production : Cassandra De Carvalho

This week: the coronation in the UK. As Charles III is crowned at Westminster Abbey this weekend, Anna Somers Cocks, founder of The Art Newspaper and a former assistant keeper of metalwork at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, tells us about the objects involved in the coronation and the monarchical history they convey. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York this week opens Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, the latest in the hugely successful Costume Institute exhibitions. The German designer, who died in 2019, was also the inspiration for this year's Met Gala, the museum's star-studded fundraiser. We talk to Stephanie Sporn, a fashion historian and arts and culture writer, about the exhibition, the gala and the controversy around Lagerfeld's offensive comments about a range of issues. And this episode's Work of the Week is Good Housekeeping III (1985/2023) by the British artist Marlene Smith. She was part of the Blk Art Group, a collective of young Black British artists active in the late 1970s and 1980s, which is the subject of The more things change…, an exhibition at the Wolverhampton Art Gallery in the UK. Smith has re-created the work, first made in 1985, for the show, and tells us more about its making, its context, and the history of the Blk Art Group.Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, until 16 July.The more things change…, Wolverhampton Art Gallery, UK, until 9 July.

The exhibition explores how artists have taken jobs beyond their studios, and how those jobs have informed their work. "Day Jobs" is on view through July 23.

The Met Gala takes place annually on the first Monday in May. In 1995, Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour chaired the huge fashion celebration for the first time that takes place at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Anna changed the date of the celebrity bash from December to May and is the driving force that transformed the event from a society dinner to the star-studded affair labelled “fashion's biggest night”. The shindig has been attended by stars including Rihanna, Beyoncé and Madonna.

Today's guest is a happiness expert and devout non-meditator. In her latest book Life in Five Senses: How Exploring the Senses Got Me Out of My Head and Into the World, she describes how a routine visit to her eye doctor made her realize she'd been overlooking a key element of happiness: her five senses. Gretchen Rubin is the author of many books, including the New York Times bestsellers Outer Order, Inner Calm; The Four Tendencies; Better Than Before; and The Happiness Project. Her books have sold more than 3.5 million copies worldwide, and have been translated in more than thirty languages. She also hosts the top-ranking, award-winning podcast Happier with Gretchen Rubin. In this episode we talk about:What led Gretchen to explore the five sensesHow we often take our senses for grantedHow our senses work with the brain to impact our perception The relationship between the senses and nostalgia The surprising power of ketchup and vanilla when it comes to the sense of tasteThe sense of hearing and what she calls her “Audio Apothecary” How to be a better listenerThe interplay between the senses of taste and smellThe sense of touch and the use of comfort objects Why she decided to visit The Metropolitan Museum of Art everyday to explore the five sensesAnd how she uses the five senses to boost creativity Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/gretchen-rubin-588 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ahead of the opening of “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” exhibition, the Costume Institute's head curator discusses the legendary designer's work and lasting impact.Background:Andrew Bolton, the head curator of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, first dreamed up the idea for a Karl Lagerfeld-centric show at Lagerfeld's 2019 memorial service.Next month, that vision will be realised with a new exhibition, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,” focussed on the late Chanel and Fendi designer. With the exhibit, set to run from May 5 to July 18, Bolton's goal was to focus on the designer's prolific career rather than the man behind it.“We wanted to focus on the work rather than the words or the man because he was problematic,” said Bolton. “There were those things he said that were difficult … the one thing that was authentic, real and tangible was his creative output.”This week on The BoF Podcast, BoF editor-at-large Tim Blanks sits down with Bolton to discuss the upcoming show and Lagerfeld's legacy in fashion and beyond. Key Insights:Lagerfeld was a trailblazer in fashion, helping to inspire countless designers who followed him, according to Bolton. “One of Karl's greatest legacies was creating the blueprint for the modern day fashion designer impresario,” said Bolton.His influence transcended fashion, too. “He was somebody who didn't restrict his creativity down to one outlet. He was an interior designer. He was a photographer, he was a writer, he was a theatrical designer as well as a designer,” said Bolton.Bolton said that Lagerfeld was “nostalgic and sentimental,” going as far to recreate his childhood bedroom in his home. That was often reflected in his work, and is examined in the exhibition. “For somebody who loved history so much and consumed history, he could not not look back, and you see those recurring motifs in his work.”Synonymous with Lagerfeld was his signature suit, which featured a severely tailored black jacket and crisp white shirt. Bolton saw that outfit as a simple ensemble not designed to draw attention. “To me, his greatest disguise was a black and white uniform; he created it because it deflected away from anything,” he said.While the exhibition focuses on his work, more of Lagerfeld's personal life and relationships with collaborators like Amanda Harlech and Patrick Hourcade are detailed in the book that accompanies the show. “I wanted that to be their relationship, their voice,” said Bolton. “They had very specific relationships with Karl, and they're illuminating, but I didn't want that to be infiltrating the thesis of the exhibition.”Additional Resources:Met Curator Andrew Bolton, Quiet Defender of Fashion as ArtKarl Lagerfeld: A Line of BeautyHere's Why People Are Angry About 2023's Met Gala Theme, Karl Lagerfeld: When the 2023 Met Gala theme was announced, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty” the museum received some backlash due to Lagerfeld's problematic past.

We meet living legend DUANE MICHALS (b. 1932, McKeesport, PA) one of the GREATEST photographic innovators of the last century, widely known for his work with series, multiple exposures, and text. For more than 60 years he has pushed photography and art to new dimensions. Without doubt, so many contemporary artists have been inspired by, and have directly referenced, the groundbreaking work of Duane Michals - he has truly shifted the way we think about art forever!!! Duane Michals is an artist who has been much imitated, highly influential and endlessly re-inventive. He celebrated his 91st birthday the week before this episode was recorded, so a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Duane!!!Michals first made significant, creative strides in the field of photography during the 1960s. In an era heavily influenced by photojournalism, Michals manipulated the medium to communicate narratives. The sequences, for which he is widely known, appropriate cinema's frame-by-frame format. Michals has also incorporated text as a key component in his works. Rather than serving a didactic or explanatory function, his handwritten text adds another dimension to the images' meaning and gives voice to Michals' singular musings, which are poetic, tragic, and humorous, often all at once.Over the past five decades, Michals' work has been exhibited in the United States and abroad. The Museum of Modern Art, New York, hosted Michals' first solo exhibition (1970). In 2019, The Morgan Library and Museum in New York exhibited a career retrospective of Michals' work The Illusions of the Photographer: Duane Michals at the Morgan. More recently, he had one-person shows at the Odakyu Museum, Tokyo (1999), and at the International Center of Photography, New York (2005). In 2008, Michals celebrated his 50th anniversary as a photographer with a retrospective exhibition at the Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, Greece, and the Scavi Scaligeri in Verona, Italy.Michals's work belongs to numerous permanent collections in the U.S. and abroad, including the Israel Museum, Jerusalem; the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Moderna Museet, Stockholm; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto; and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Michals's archive is housed at the Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh.Michals received a BA from the University of Denver in 1953 and worked as a graphic designer until his involvement with photography deepened in the late 1950s. He currently lives and works in New York City, USA.Follow @TheDuaneMichals on Instagram.Views more than 50 recent short films at Duane's Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/duanemichalsLearn more at DC Gallery: https://www.dcmooregallery.com/artists/duane-michals Hosted on Acast.

One of Spanish master Diego Velázquez's most famous and celebrated paintings is a portrait of a man he enslaved in his own studio. Juan de Pareja was a Black man living in Spain in the 1600s, and was an accomplished artist in his own right. A new exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art spotlights his work, and explores the relationship between enslavement and art in seventeenth century Spain. Co-curators David Pullins and Vanessa Valdés join us to discuss the exhibit, titled Juan de Pareja, Afro-Hispanic Painter. It's on view through July 16th.
