As museums worldwide shuttered in 2020 because of the coronavirus, New York-based cultural strategist András Szántó conducted a series of interviews with an international group of museum leaders. In a moment when economic, political, and cultural shifts are signaling the start of a new era, the directors speak candidly about the historical limitations and untapped potential of art museums. Each of the twenty-eight conversations in this book explores a particular topic of relevance to art institutions today and tomorrow. What emerges from the series of in-depth conversations is a composite portrait of a generation of museum leaders working to make institutions more open, democratic, inclusive, experimental and experiential, technologically savvy, culturally polyphonic, attuned to the needs of their visitors and communities, and concerned with addressing the defining issues of the societies around them. The dialogues offer glimpses of how museums around the globe are undergoing an accelerated phase of reappraisal and reinvention.

Fashion climbing a memoir with photographs / by Cunningham, Bill,1929-2016,author.(CARDINAL)719676; Als, Hilton,writer of introduction.(CARDINAL)226553;

The doors of paradise -- Becoming William J. -- My first shop -- A helmet covered in flowers -- The luxury of freedom -- Nona and Sophie -- The Southampton shop -- Fashion punch -- The top of the ladder -- On society -- On taste -- Laura Johnson's philosophy.The iconic "New York Times" photographer presents a sophisticated, visual account of his early education in New York City's high-fashion circles. For Bill Cunningham, New York City was the land of freedom, glamour, and, above all, style. Growing up in a lace-curtain Irish suburb of Boston, secretly trying on his sister's dresses and spending his evenings after school in the city's chicest boutiques, Bill dreamed of a life dedicated to fashion. But his desires were a source of shame for his family, and after dropping out of Harvard, he had to fight them tooth-and-nail to pursue his love. When he arrived in New York, he reveled in people-watching. He spent his nights at opera openings and gate-crashing extravagant balls, where he would take note of the styles, new and old, watching how the gowns moved, how the jewels hung, how the hair laid on each head. This was his education, and the birth of the democratic and exuberant taste that he came to be famous for as a photographer for The New York Times. After two style mavens took Bill under their wing, his creativity thrived and he made a name for himself as a designer. Taking on the alias William J.--because designing under his family's name would have been a disgrace to his parents--Bill became one of the era's most outlandish and celebrated hat designers, catering to movie stars, heiresses, and artists alike. Bill's mission was to bring happiness to the world by making women an inspiration to themselves and everyone who saw them. These were halcyon days when fashion was all he ate and drank. When he was broke and hungry he'd stroll past the store windows on Fifth Avenue and feed himself on beautiful things. Fashion Climbing is the story of a young man striving to be the person he was born to be: a true original. But although he was one of the city's most recognized and treasured figures, Bill was also one of its most guarded. Written with his infectious joy and one-of-a-kind voice, this memoir was polished, neatly typewritten, and safely stored away in his lifetime. He held off on sharing it--and himself--until his passing. Between these covers, is an education in style, an effervescent tale of a bohemian world as it once was, and a final gift to the readers of one of New York's great characters.

Gullah spirit : the art of Jonathan Green / by Green, Jonathan,1955-artist.(CARDINAL)374341; Edgar, Walter B.,1943-contributor.(CARDINAL)172986; Grogan, Kevin,contributor.(CARDINAL)285379; Long, Kim Cliett,contributor.; Mack, Angela D.,1952-writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)209179;

Includes bibliographical references (page xx) and index."In his art Jonathan Green paints the world of his childhood and an ode to a people imbued with a profound respect for the dignity and value of others--the Gullah people of the South Carolina barrier islands. His vibrant canvases, beloved for their sense of jublilation and rediscovery, evoke the meaning of community Gullah society and display a reverence for the rich visual, oral, and spiritual traditions of its culture. His art reveals a keen awareness of the interpersonal, social, and natural invironments in which we live. The 179 color images assembled in this collection showcase the meaning, purpose, and beautify that Green finds in the small but critical tasks of life. His work elevates the everyday--preparing morning meals, doing the wash, farming, relaxing in the evening--while celebrating social and religion gatherings. Green's art allows the viewer the space and silence to observe peole unobtrusively as they pursue life's mission of labor, love, and belonging and as they work in harmony with nature's mysterious, ever-changing fabric. While Green's paintings speak specifically to his own upbringing, they also transcend racial, cultural, and ethnic boundaries, thus allowing viewers of all backgrounds to recall fond memories and to reflect on the place that purpose and dignity hold in their lives. In addition to a foreword by the Gibbs Museum of Art director Angela Mack, brief essays by historian Walter Edgar, educator Kim Cliett Long, and Morris Museum director Kevin Grogan complement Green's images. Jonathan Green is widely considered to be one of the most important painters of the southern experience. His first book, Gullah Images: The Art of Jonathan Green has been hailed as "magisterial and universal" by the novelist Pat Conroy. His work, which has been exhibited in major venues nationally and internationally, reflects an intrinsic sense of history and place. He has received numerous awards, such as the Clemente C. Pickney Award, the Order of the Palmetto Award, History Makers Award in the Fine Arts in Chicago, the Museum of the Americas Century of Achievement Award, among many others. Born and raised in Gardens Corner, South Carolina, Green lives and paints in Charleston, South Carolina"--

On tyranny : twenty lessons from the twentieth century / by Snyder, Timothy,author.(CARDINAL)354128; Krug, Nora,illustrator.(CARDINAL)499095;

Do not obey in advance -- Defend institutions -- Beware the one-party state -- Take responsibility for the face of the world -- Remember professional ethics -- Be wary of paramilitaries -- Be reflective if you must be armed -- Stand out -- Be kind to our language -- Believe in truth -- Investigate -- Make eye contact and small talk -- Practice corporeal politics -- Establish a private life -- Contribute to good causes -- Learn from peers in other countries -- Listen for dangerous words -- Be calm when the unthinkable arrives -- Be a patriot -- Be as courageous as you can."Timothy Snyder's New York Times bestseller On Tyranny uses the darkest moments in twentieth-century history, from Nazism to Communism, to teach twenty lessons on resisting modern-day authoritarianism. Among the twenty include a warning to be aware of how symbols used today could affect tomorrow ('4: Take responsibility for the face of the world'), an urgent reminder to research everything for yourself and to the fullest extent ('11: Investigate'), a point to use personalized and individualized speech rather than clichéd phrases for the sake of mass appeal ('9: Be kind to our language'), and more. In this graphic edition, Nora Krug draws from her highly inventive art style in Belonging--at once a graphic memoir, collage-style scrapbook, historical narrative, and trove of memories--to breathe new life, color, and power into Snyder's riveting historical references, turning a quick-read pocket guide of lessons into a visually striking rumination. In a time of great uncertainty and instability, this edition of On Tyranny emphasizes the importance of being active, conscious, and deliberate participants in resistance."-- The author argues that American society is leaning toward despotism and totalitarianism and looks back at the 20th century for examples of how totalitarianism has taken over before.

Looking backward : a photographic portrait of the world at the beginning of the twentieth century / by Lesy, Michael,1945-author.(CARDINAL)353230;

Includes bibliographical references (pages 289-291).Preface -- A short history of virtual reality: being in more than one place at one time -- The news: ten years of war and disaster -- Society -- The last stereograph company: Keystone View's progressive education -- The new world and the old -- The Middle East and the Holy Land -- The war photographer -- India and the Far East -- The natural world -- The steamer in the Fjord."In 1900 the stereograph was king. Its three-dimensional optics created a virtual presence for the viewer. Millions of Americans, especially schoolchildren, absorbed ideas about race, class, and gender from such 3D images ... Drawing on an enormous, rarely seen collection of some 300,000 stereographic views spanning the first decade of the twentieth century, Michael Lesy presents nearly 250 images displaying a riot of peoples and cultures, stark class divisions, and unsettling glimpses of daily life a century ago ... Haunting views of the early twentieth century's most significant events at home and in the farthest reaches of the world-war, rebellion, industrial revolution, and natural catastrophe-flank pictures of the last remnants of the premodern natural world. Lesy's evocative essays reassert the primacy of the stereograph in American visual history. He profiles the photographers who saw the world through their prejudices and the companies that sold their images everywhere."--Dust jacket flap.
