The End Of Phone Calls?
"We're moving toward a fascinating cultural transition: the death of the telephone call. This shift is particularly stark among the young. This generation doesn't make phone calls, because everyone is in constant, lightweight contact in so many other ways: texting, chatting, and social-network messaging."...
Will Washington National Opera Merge With The Kennedy Center? Unknown.
"There's no question that the company would prefer to remain independent. The question is whether that is possible. A merger with the Kennedy Center would certainly solve one persistent problem, the company's lack of an administrative head."...
A Revolution In Movie Sound Effects?
"Software engineers are working on a system that would replace the traditional effects of the so-called Foley artists, who have been plying their trade ever since the 'talkies' hit the screens, with the omnipresent computer."...
Bookseller Of Kabul Author Loses Lawsuit. What Does This Mean For Literary Freedom?
"The news that Åsne Seierstad, Norwegian author of The Bookseller of Kabul, has been successfully sued by one of her book's characters will be greeted as either a blow to artistic freedom of expression or a victory for the world's misrepresented and powerless poor."...
YouTube Raises Video Limit To 15 Minutes
"The video website, owned by Google Inc., said in a blog post Thursday that the longer upload time was the single-most requested feature that its users have been asking for."...
Audubon's First Bird Discovered
"Thanks to a never-say-die effort between a currency historian and a scholar studying John James Audubon (1785-1851), the famous artist's first published bird illustration has been discovered."...
The Penguin Paperback at 75
"The great thing about them was that the economics of them meant that it only worked with huge numbers at cheap prices, so most of them are still around. But there are some great rarities, and it is not unknown for particularly rare copies to fetch around £500."...
Should Theatres Hire Leaders Locally?
Should cultural institutions -- organic and homegrown as so many of them are -- strive to hire local for their creative leadership?...
Disney Sells Miramax For $660 Million
"The deal ends a laborious six-month bidding process in which the founders of the storied independent film label, the brothers Harvey and Bob Weinstein, fell short in their attempt to regain control."...
Egon Schiele's "Portrait of Wally" - Hostage To Money
"The distortion of artworks through their use as icons of money, power and politics has a long and notorious history."...
Disputed Ansel Adams Negatives Case Gets Weirder
The artist who bought the negatives has been selling prints from them. If he "makes a mint -- and an appraisal he released Tuesday put the potential value at more than $200 million -- he could face the risk of having to turn over all or part of the loot to Ansel Adams' heirs."...
DC Opera Considers Merger with Kennedy Center
"The Washington National Opera, facing financial challenges and questions about its future, is exploring a merger with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.  The center would assume the opera's assets and liabilities, and the opera would cede to the center approval on artistic and budgetary matters."...
The Geeks Are Strangling Cinema!
"Fawned over by the studios, the geek contingent has never been more influential in shaping movies. But are the fanboys in danger of killing the thing they love?"...
NY's Cherry Lane Theater to Go Dark for a Season
"The Cherry Lane Theater will not produce plays on its main stage for a year beginning in September, and possibly longer, to buy time to cope with a deficit of roughly $167,000 through the 2010 fiscal year."...
ABT to Perform in Cuba for First Time in 50 Years
"American Ballet Theater announced Thursday that it will travel to Cuba to dance in the International Ballet Festival of Havana in November.  The upcoming festival is in honor of the Cuban-born dancer Alicia Alonso, the director of the National Ballet of Cuba, who danced with ABT in the 1940s."...
Detroit Symphony Contract Talks Break Down
DSO musicians say that "management has ceased to negotiate in good faith and that talks have reached an impasse." The DSO administration "has not budged from its original demand for a 28-percent cut in the players' annual base pay of $105,000."...
Introducing a TV Series Everywhere But on TV
"By the time Fox introduces the soapy new drama Lone Star on television this fall, some Vanity Fair readers, cruise line passengers, hotel guests and iPad owners will have had a chance to watch it."...
Character Actor Maury Chaykin Dies on 61st Birthday
"A hefty man with expressive, doughy features, Mr. Chaykin was the kind of actor whose name was known to few but whose face to many. His screen career lasted 35 years, and he appeared in dozens if not hundreds of movies and television shows, mostly in supporting or cameo roles."...
Does Theater About Gays in the Military Merely 'Preach to the Choir'?
Marc Wolf, author and performer of Another American Asking and Telling: "I soon discovered that my worries about preaching to the choir were unfounded because, where gays in the military are concerned, there has never been a choir to preach to."...
Using Dance Classes to Treat Parkinson's Disease
"The idea is that dance helps ease the symptoms - and some hope might even slow the progression - of [the neurological disorder].  But just as important, the dance class is an opportunity for joy, creative expression and socializing - an antidote to the depression and isolation that can come with Parkinson's."...
