I am sitting at the table in the shared office at Objectspace where all the staff sit together in one open room that infamously has no natural light. The architects who refurbished the 1980s industrial unit that we call home gave the building a striking steel and light façade. It is the singular architectural feature of the gallery, but its cost was the windows it covered in its design. The staff endure the office lighting with varying degrees of animosity, and on a day like today, a beautiful summer late-afternoon in early February, I wouldn’t know if it is still…

To mark the occasion, the museum—considered Paris’s top institution for modern and contemporary art—celebrated with a long weekend of festivities,…

Courtesy of Sony Pictures Entertainment/Photofest.Girlish longing and luxurious surfaces are integral to Sofia Coppola’s films. Their plots are secondary to their atmospheres, which are often decadent and swathed in nostalgia. Marie Antoinette (2006) is best remembered for its ornate, confectionary costuming and scenes of Kirsten Dunst, as the titular queen, bathing and eating cakes. Even The Virigin Suicides (1999), a story of suburban malaise in Michigan, presents its heroines, the five adolescent Lisbon sisters, with an otherworldly, golden glow. Coppola’s characters don’t usually fare well. Schoolboys worship the Lisbons,…
A film finally hit this year’s relatively down SXSW like a bolt of lightning, producing multiple in-film applause breaks and a standing ovation at the end. Andrew Patterson’s “The Rivals of Amziah King” is a crowd-pleasing wonder, a new classic of the American South that hums with earnest adoration for the people of this region, what they do, and how they celebrate life. Patterson’s “The Vast of Night” was a debut that seemed hard to top, a film that could be a gateway to a sophomore slump, but he proves with this venture that he is a passionate talent with…

Founded in 1783, the Academy of San Carlos houses one of the finest art collections in Mexico, with works ranging from prints by Dürer and Rembrandt to plaster casts of works by Michelangelo, Cellini, and Ghiberti. But over the past week, it has gained notice not for its holdings but for the censorship of an exhibition there…
