Everything #13
I did a segment for this month’s episode of Danny Jelinek and Jason Whetzell’s Channel 101 anthology show “Everything.” It was a lot of fun to make, and I was honored to be asked to be a part of one of my favorite shows. It was also a lot of fun to go to my first live Channel 101 screening and meet some really talented people, some of whom have been making videos that I’ve loved...

Parisians DEMAND more flexible museum hours →
And they get them!
The 14 Paris-run institutions close their doors between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m., and only the Museum of Modern Art and the Petit Palais have extended hours — on Thursdays, for temporary exhibitions only (the Museum of Modern Art until 10 p.m. and the Petit Palais until 8 p.m.). Visitors have complained of three-hour waits to enter, and in December, a Le Figaro poll showed that 83...

A job-killing plan for arts and culture? →
If you gave me a buck, and next year I returned $18.75 to you, would you think that was a good deal? I would. With savings accounts, money markets and even stocks yielding just a few percentage points on investments these days, a return in excess of 18% is pretty staggering. Yet, that’s what happens with federal support for arts and culture. It pays for itself 18 times over. Federal...

Los Angeles redevelopment commissioners agreed Thursday to spend up to $52 million to build parking and other improvements around billionaire Eli Broad’s planned downtown art museum, an action characterized by some as an attempt to keep future tax dollars out of state hands.
It is very interesting to me that the buerocrats are rallying around this new museum so quickly and with so much...
