It uses stories and micro-case studies to illustrate how switching the terms in an open and ongoing fashion leads to change, and to relevance.Īnyone working in an arts or cultural organisation who is not entirely satisfied will find something in The Art of RelevanceĪlong the way there are a good number of highly quotable lines and arguments. Using the images of rooms and keys and insiders and outsiders, the book is a sharp argument for mattering more to more people, not by assertion of your own intrinsic value but by making genuine connections. Relevance has the potential to give the other ‘R word’ a run for its money in the 2016 buzzword stakes, but we should not hold that against Nina or her argument. I came away with a copy of The Art of Relevance, her new book, the themes of which she set out in her talk. Nina Simon, who is the Director of the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, and a leading museums thinker, was the punchiest keynote speaker at the recent AMA conference.

Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Throughout, the camera tightens, and the soundtrack grows ever more guttural, a cacophony of discordant, quivering strings drowning out the chirp of birds in the distance. Shot in a single take at the Pool of Siloam – a salt lake in South Australia’s Beachport – Witness shows a baptism on infinite loop, with a man (Michael Schaefer) cradling Sophia in his arms and repeatedly submerging her in the lake from side to side like a swinging pendulum. “I am still a bit shaky, I’ll be honest,” Sophia says, speaking from the gallery after the prize ceremony. Witness, her winning entry, is a 12-minute film where the artist is dunked into a body of water again and again – to both disquieting and mesmeric effect. Sophia is a 34-year-old multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans performance, sculpture and video. Gabor and I explore our current day mental health epidemic and discuss what the causes are and what the potential solutions might be. It’s almost ‘normal’ to have some sort of mental health dysfunction. The statistics are even more startling in North America. In the UK, one in six people over the age of 16 report moderate to severe depression eight million people have an anxiety disorder. We begin this conversation by discussing what’s behind the current mental health epidemic. In his most recent book, The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture, hejoins the dots between individual trauma and the pressures of modern-day living in a beautifully coherent and helpful way. Gabor believes that many of the physical and mental conditions doctors see can be traced back to our earliest experiences and subsequent environmental influences. His is one of the most important voices globally on health, trauma, stress, addiction, and childhood development. Gabor is a fellow physician, renowned author, speaker and friend. This episode will be his fourth appearance since we first met in 2018 and I cherish our meaningful, valuable conversations. For long-term listeners, Dr Gabor Maté needs little introduction.

This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident: he lost his trumpet. Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students' League. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California dance band. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. The book is partially inspired by an article Gladwell wrote for The New Yorker in 2009 entitled "How David Beats Goliath". Despite generally negative reviews, the book was a bestseller, rising to #4 on The New York Times Hardcover Non-fiction chart, and #5 on USA Today 's Best-Selling Books. The book contains many different stories of these underdogs who wind up beating the odds, the most famous being the story of David and Goliath.

David and Goliath: Underdogs, Misfits, and the Art of Battling Giants is a non-fiction book written by Malcolm Gladwell and published by Little, Brown and Company on October 1, 2013. Leia Was the Main CharacterDisney's sequel trilogy is structured in a way where each movie emphasizes one veteran of the classic trilogy and culminates in their death. Note: This article was compiled with the help of several resources, including IGN's previous reporting and io9's breakdown of The Star Wars Archives. Here's a rundown of everything we know about the plot of Lucas' abandoned Star Wars sequel trilogy. In some ways, his sequels would have been dramatically different from what Disney delivered, while in other ways they're strangely similar. However, with the release of recent books like Pablo Hidalgo's Star Wars: Fascinating Facts and Paul Duncan's The Star Wars Archives: 1999-2005, we're starting to get a much clearer picture of the story Lucas might have told. This is an ugly, insulting picture of the people of the region that continues to color the world's perception of Yugoslavia. Seeing what a relentlessly negative picture Kaplan paints of the Balkans I can see how it might psychologically influence someone to steer clear of it. involvement would be a mistake - stricken as Yugoslavia was with "ancient hatreds". The book was credited with influencing his thinking that U.S. Bill Clinton was famously seen holding a copy of Balkan Ghosts around the time he made his decision not to intervene in the wars. After having finally read it however I can see why people feel this way. Being a Robert Kaplan apologist I always took this as a bit of colorful hyperbole. Someone once told me that this book was responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people during the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s.

The term “soap operas” was coined because the programs were often sponsored by soap manufacturers like Procter & Gamble. That’s been the case since the first American soap opera, “Painted Dreams,” debuted on Chicago radio station WGN in 1930, followed the next year by the first nationally broadcast radio soap opera, “Clara, Lu, and Em,” on the NBC Blue Network.Īiring five days a week, as they had on radio, with one episode leading into the next to create continuous stories of melodrama, romance, break ups, make ups, and more, soaps – including “Love of Life,” “Guiding Light,” “Search for Tomorrow,” and “The Edge of Night” – became fixtures on network television beginning in the 1950s. “The cliffhanger nature of soap operas, however, leaves you looking forward to what’s going to happen the next day.” Waggett by telephone recently from his home in Dorchester. “One of the biggest problems right now is that one day can drift aimlessly into the next,” explained pop culture writer Gerard J. So it’s reassuring, when our lives are anything but routine, that the soaps are still there to entertain us and provide a much-needed diversion from the pressures of these uncertain times.
