Peter F. Kronica Gallery, Bytom Poland

Today, we visited Bytom's sole contemporary "gallery," which is funded by the city as part of the Cultural Center that houses the dance festival we've been enjoying. The gallery, Kronica, seems to operate on a theoretical level. Our host, Stach Ruksza, described the miss… Continue

Peter F. Poland: Warsaw

Wendy and I started our visit to Poland with 24 hours in Warsaw and made a good visit with the curator of the Center for Contemporary art. There was a really good exhibit of a Polish artist who lived much of his life in London. He and his wife were better known as writers: the Themersons, Stefan and Francziczka. His visual ar… Continue

Sky Pape Macbeth travels from Poland to Brooklyn

St. Ann's Warehouse is producing an all-out and quite astounding, graphic version of Mabceth, which opens next week. Oh, and did I mention that it's in Polish? The NY Times has a full article on it today. Too big to fit into St. Ann’s theater in Dumbo, it will be staged on a specially constructed, two-story stage in the roofless, 19th-century Tobacco Warehouse across the stre… Continue

Sky Pape Who owns the truth?

Roseanne Cash delivers a deep and eloquent article in the NY times, pondering the distinction between fact and truth, how they relate to meaning, and how truth and meaning can be found through the creative process. "But in the space where truth and fact diverge, a larger question arises: if the facts don’t lead us to meaning, what does? Perhaps… Continue

Rosa Naparstek Words:

Hello, I am a little nervous, well, not nervous, just concerned that, well, I'm going public with "chatter" that may not matter. Oh, for those of you who know me a little, I am somewhat uncontrollable re: rhyming. If I had grown up in an other decade, or two, I know I'd be rapping. I am right now here in Florida, if I were home, nyc, (the usual me) I probably would not feel justified in sending postcards from my room, but, now on Vacation, well, at least I can say the weather is sunny, cloudy, w… Continue

Artists Unite no f'in way!!!! talk about multi-tasking

via the NYTimes Arts Briefly, the conductor of the Pittsburgh Opera, Anthony Walker, stepped in to save the day. The tenor in the leading role of Aida was ill, and the sub never made it to the theater. The tenor slogged through a bit before giving up, at which point Walker sang the role from the pit while conducting, and the ailing Vladimir Kuzmenko acted the role sil… Continue

Artists Unite humor/genius

I had an interesting experience watching the work in progress of a choreographer the other day. It raised an interesting question or perhaps artistic quandry as the choreographer was trying in the work to integrate her strength as a comedic presence with her other interest in classical dance. The piece put both together in an almost satisfying way, but there was a clear sense of two pieces in one. I left the performance and thought later about Woody Allen -- not the Bananas era, but the… Continue

Artists Unite lisbon story

I love wim wenders. I read a book he wrote and commented a lot about it on Artists Unite ISSUE here. The cool thing is I was telling wendy about the film of his we just got from Netflix. I said, "this is my second favorite wim wenders movie. The first is Wings of Desire. The third is every other movie he made. The 2nd (the one I just got) is Lisbon story. It's almost a comedy. The character of the soundman, Winter, is so entertaining. But the… Continue
