[ad_1] The artist Richard Prince agreed to pay at least $650,000 to two photographers whose images he had incorporated in his own work, ending a long-running copyright dispute that had been closely monitored by the art world. Two judgments filed on Thursday in New York awarded damages to the photographers, Donald Graham and Eric McNatt, and barred Prince from reproducing the photographs known as “Rastafarian Smoking a Joint” and “Kim Gordon 1” (of the musician Kim Gordon). Those images were part of a Prince installation, called “New Portraits,” in which he printed several Instagram photos on large canvases and added his own Instagram-style comments below them. Graham’s image was incorporated into a work referred to as “Portrait of Rastajay92,” which was exhibited at a New York gallery in 2014. McNatt’s image was used in a work referred to as “Portrait of Kim Gordon,” which was shown at a gallery in 2015. David Marriott, a lawyer for Graham and McNatt, said the photographers wer

Now we have two beautiful daughters to add to my family, and it feels really great.” He added: “There was a moment in my life that I was really struggling and felt really broken. “For me, [it was] my own journey finding a higher power and leaning on that and feeling like, ‘Please save me,’ and feeling saved. And then shortly later, [I met] the woman of my dreams.” Pratt continued: “It’s all abo

[ad_1] “The Roma voice is very much missing from the mainstream historical narrative,” Kocze said. “Their testimony has been denied, or deflated, and their credibility is questioned. These people aren’t counted, they don’t matter, no one cares about them, even to merely remember them as humans.” That was the reason that Kateřina Čapková, a researcher at the Institute of Contemporary History Prague, initiated the database of testimonies, as a project of the Prague Forum for Romani Histories. Before she began the project eight years ago, she said, there was “no such database or any other place where Romani testimonies were collected.” Renata Berkyová, a Slovak-born Roma historian who was also instrumental in developing the website, said Romani testimonies were previously difficult to locate in dispersed archives. The database brings them into one central point that provides insight into the Nazi persecution of the Roma. “You can see the trajectory of the survivor experience,” Berkyo

[ad_1] After college she signed a publishing deal with John Lewis’s MJQ, a premier home for jazz writers, and worked as a secretary at Impulse!, the producer Creed Taylor’s new jazz label. Guryan’s songs got noticed; they were recorded by Harry Belafonte, Chris Connor, Anita O’Day and others. Among the revelations on “Words and Music” are Guryan’s demos from this period, 1957 to 1966 — songs that are at once playful, emotionally potent and strikingly bold for the time. “Kiss & Tell” instructs a lover, with cool reason, how to leave his spouse. “Four Letter Words,” recorded at the height of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, sings a lexicon of “dirty words” that begins, “wars, kill, guns, hate, hurt, harm, dead.” In 1966, Guryan was living in the West Village of Manhattan, where David Frishberg, a kindred songwriter, dropped by with a copy of the Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.” Wowed by Brian Wilson’s “God Only Knows,” Guryan began writing in a new style for “Take a Picture.” Befitting its

[ad_1] In an unexpected turn of events, Indian filmmaker Anurag Kashyap, who has championed many emerging stars, has lashed out against ‘mediocre’ showbiz aspirants who take undue advantage of his time. The director, who has often puts his two cents without censor, took to IG with a loud and clear message: Don't waste my time. In a long statement, the filmmaker voiced his frustration and penned, “I wasted a lot of time trying to help newcomers and mostly ended up with mediocre s***. So, now onwards, I don't want to waste my time meeting random people who think they are creative geniuses.” To everyone’s shock, Anurag went on to state his rates for newbies in the field interested in meeting with him. He said, “So I will now have rates. If someone wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes, I will charge 1 lac, for half an hour, 2 lacs, and for 1 hour, 5 lacs. That's the rate.”  “I am tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it, call me or sta

Angela Mavalla, a pharmacist and skincare educator, has been sharing TikTok videos garnering thousands of views, encouraging black women to stop purchasing topical steroid creams from these shops – as they are meant to be prescription-only treatments used with appropriate guidance from a doctor. When used incorrectly, the creams can make potentially make skin symptoms worse and harder to manage. “Though these creams tend to address issues like acne and eczema very quickly, because of their potent nature, the skin becomes addicted to it and will flare up badly once you stop using them,” said Mavalla. “A lot my clie

[ad_1] Pakistani actor and model Rabia Butt recently appeared as a panel guest at a local varsity event to make a strong statement on the prevailing trope of the ‘damsel in distress’ on screen. The Jeevan Nagar star protested the common practice of showing men cheating on their partners, arguing that this scenario frequently underpins the weak heroine. “The hero typically has an extra-marital love interest,” she noted before slamming portrayals that demonise strong women as women of bad character. Rabia expressed her surprise at the popularity of such depictions despite various examples of tenacious women in real life, asserting, “Our mothers are so strong, they’ve got all of us on our toes.” However, the model had to concede that such stories are the creation of a system instead of an individual’s property. “Who writes these stories?” Rabia posed rhetorically. “You can’t pin this on directors solely or production houses. Writers pen these stories. Everyone has done their par

[ad_1] The world is mourning the grave loss of the late multifaceted actor, director and theatre guru Zia Moheyuddin who passed away this early morning. And there’s no better way to remember the legend’s legacy than to watch him pay a tribute to the man he looked up to the most, Shakespeare. It would be an understatement to say that Mohyeddin was a fan of the British playwright. He has, on multiple occasions, not only spoken about his work and directed and adapted plays written by him but has also decoded what makes Shakespeare, Shakespeare. The last play staged at the National Academy of Performing Arts (Napa) directed by Mohyeddin was Shakespeare’s most famous tragic affair, Romeo & Juliet. Mohyeddin hosted the hugely popular television talk show, The Zia Mohyeddin Show back in the 1970s and there was a whole episode dedicated to his British maestro and his work. To reminisce, get goosebumps, and be nostalgic for the magical voice, the aura, and the enigma that Mohyeddin h

[ad_1] KARACHI: Anyone who's even vaguely familiar with Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour knows the event doesn't kick off at 4:30PM when the doors swing open, or even at 5:30PM when the first opening act takes the stage. Nope, it starts at 7AM which is when I dragged myself out of bed, packed my regulation-sized A4 bag with energy bars, Lucozade, and friendship bracelets, and trudged to Wembley Stadium to queue up. If you've managed to score seats (lucky you—though "lucky" might be debatable), you can skip this ritual. But for me? Pitch standing is the only way to properly experience a concert, where you can dance shoulder-to-shoulder with thousands of other Swifties. ‘You’re On Your Own, Kid’ One thing that never crossed my mind in the months leading up to my August concert was that I would be one of the handful of Pakistanis in the audience. As I took my place in the queue and scanned my surroundings, I came to a jarring revelation. I was the only brown p

[ad_1] For his 73rd birthday in April, Felice Macchi had lunch at La Bettola Del Gusto, a restaurant in Pompeii, Italy, with a focus on seafood. He ordered the house specialty: spaghettoni, a thicker spaghetti, in a fermented anchovy sauce with black truffles and butter made with milk from water buffalo native to the Mediterranean region. The meal came on a ceramic plate with a whimsical hand-painted design depicting the spaghettoni dish and a smoking volcano, a nod to nearby Mount Vesuvius. Mr. Macchi finished his meal — he said it was “excellent” — but did not leave the restaurant empty-handed. Instead of leftovers, he took home the plate his pasta was served on. It was a new addition to a collection he has amassed of that type of Italian tableware, known as Buon Ricordo plates. He has hundreds of them, many of which he eats on. Others decorate hallways, the kitchen and the dining room of his home in Varese, Italy. Since 2022, Mr. Macchi has been the president of the Buon Ricord

Most recently, TV host Jonnie Irwin revealed he has terminal cancer and decided to make the news public after he was told the cancer spread from his lungs to his brain. The presenter, who is known for hosting Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun and BBC’s Escape to the Country , said his first warning sign was experiencing blurry vision while driving in Italy in August 2020. He said that, within a week of flying home from filming A Place in the Sun , he was “given six months to live”.

The Help Us Help You campaign was aimed at people wh

[ad_1] “Sly” has been criticized for being too generous to its star. Reviewing the film for The Guardian, Charles Bramesco wrote that “puff pieces don’t get much puffier than this,” and lambasted Zimny for his “hindering obsequiousness.” While Stallone is open about his past and his feelings, the film doesn’t spend an especially long time on his cinematic failures. Critically maligned vehicles like “Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot” are glossed over, and few of the talking heads have anything really negative to say. Zimny insisted that he was not obliged to defer to Stallone. “There was never notes from him,” he said. “If anything, he’d watch the film and come back and express that he was really happy with it. You’re working with someone to give you space to make a film better.” In the documentary, Stallone is shown as a frequent tinkerer who constantly altered scripts, changed endings and improvised dialogue during shoots. Zimny said that desire for control wasn’t evident here. “I com

[ad_1] Although Ali Azmat, the man synonymous with Pakistani rock music after his epic success with Junoon, may be a household name today, he revealed in an interview that aside from his parents, no one in his extended family ever believed he could make it as a musician, or indeed that singing was even a passion worth pursuing. “They all thought I should do something else,” said the singer in an appearance on Shan e Suhoor . “Like maybe a radio TV mechanic. None of them ever understood why anyone should sing and dance - professionally.” Luckily for the horde of Junoon fans up and down the country, such unsolicited advice and derision fell on deaf ears, as did the words of his teachers. “I was never a good student,” said Azmat, casting his mind back to his days at school. “I barely passed my exams, but then, I don’t think any kid knows what they want to do.” Even after joining local band Jupiter in his teens and buying himself a motorcycle with the money he made performing, Azm

[ad_1] Even in the buffet of amenities that New York City private schools offer — state-of-the-art gyms and science labs, black box theaters and greenhouses, bespoke college guidance and dream teacher-to-student ratios — having a museum-caliber James Turrell Skyspace on your rooftop is in a class of its own. On the sixth floor of Friends Seminary , a Quaker school in Manhattan, Turrell, the internationally acclaimed artist who uses light to shape space, has created one of his perception-altering meeting rooms whose roof opens to the sky. Bathed in a spectrum of shifting radiant color, that slice of sky appears to float inside the installation, titled “Leading,” the only one of more than 85 Skyspaces by Turrell around the world attached to an active K-12 school. And it’s the first of his bold experiments in Manhattan that is accessible to the public, beginning March 1 on select Fridays.
