Harvey Fierstein Is Now a Full-Time Quilter The seven-time Tony winner is writing a book on his later-in-life career change.

Fierstein invites friends over for what he calls “bitch and stitch” sessions, during which they process the state of “everything.” His quilting circle has largely replaced his city life. The last time he was in Manhattan was to receive a Special Tony Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Theatre

Shindō fills the film with dynamic action moves and theatrical effects. Some eroticism too

Impassioned Ferocity | Jed Perl A critic’s power lies in the testing of deeply held beliefs about the nature of art and art’s place in the world against the experience of specific artworks.

“The central paradox of criticism may be that its vital contributions to an open society depend on critical voices that are in some sense illiberal, extreme in their appetites and taste.” —Jed Perl

Pensé que te había superado
Pero es verdad, tan cierto
Te amo aún más que antes.
Pero querida, qué puedo hacer
Porque no me amas
Y yo siempre estaré
Llorando por ti
Llorando por ti
Sí, ahora te has ido

Opinion: If the Art Market Doesn’t Welcome More Participants, It Will Severely Contract Collector Jeff Magid proposes an open door policy for the art world—without it the market will severely contract, he writes.

Essay: "When I started collecting around 2012, I was an outsider with no wealth, inheritance, mentor, and no connections. I got into collecting partly because I met artists who welcomed me. It didn’t faze me when many in the gallery world treated me with varying degrees of dismissal and disdain"

Sally Mann’s Polarizing Life in Art The photographer, who has been the subject of controversy at times in her career, discusses her approach to life in her new book, Art Work.

Review: In her new book, "Art Work: On the Creative Life," Sally Mann is perhaps the first to provide some truly practical advice; nestled among suggestions for dealing with rejection, distraction, and perfectionism, if it gives any answer, it comes not in the form of instruction, but by example

Brandi Carlile: ‘Joni Mitchell will drink you under the table’ The country-rock star is as unguarded and open as she’s ever been on her eighth studio album, ‘Returning to Myself’. She speaks with Mark Beaumont about her ‘wild, magical’ upbringing, her stormy but ...

Profile: “Sometimes deep nature, the rural environment can conceal quite a lot of chaos. It’s something I feed off of for every song ever. Every single thing that I create with art has to do with my upbringing and how crazy it was. There’s a lot of twisted beauty in the wreckage I was raised in”

How Diane Keaton Moonlighted as a Photographer Photography was not a hobby for the New Hollywood star, but an important facet of her restlessly curious and creative life.

Keaton’s interest in photography was wide-ranging. In the late 1970s, she struck up a friendship with the curator and writer Marvin Heiferman, who was then working at Castelli Graphics gallery in New York. They went on to collaborate on several books and exhibitions

Inside the shadowed, stomach-churning world of Oxford’s Night climbers For nearly a century, Oxford’s secret Night Climbing society have scaled and traversed the city’s spires in search of freedom. We met members after dark.

The Night Climbers are a secretive society from the University of Oxford who transform the city into their own urban playground while the city is fast asleep. It’s not for the faint-hearted. The consequences of a mistake are severe, yet the payoff is euphoric.

Fall of Freedom an urgent call to the arts community to unite in defiance of authoritarian forces sweeping the nation. Beginning Nov 21–22, galleries, museums, libraries, comedy clubs, theaters, and concert halls across the country will host exhibitions of creative resistance www.falloffreedom.com
