...said this to someone refusing to shake their hand at a press event: “Fuck off then, stupid bastard.” Ordinarily, one would assume that this figure must be a tawdry celebrity, someone with a level of maturity and emotional restraint akin to that of Britney Spears. Yet it was not a pop icon, but rather Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, who uttered this statement...

Taking an old classic and making it into something fresh always has a risk of disaster. There’s a chance that the update will have the same effect of hearing Britney cover “Satisfaction” or of sighting your gramps wearing bright blue skintight jeans, and that the result will be more disastrous than when Coke tried to update its signature beverage in 1985. In “All Shook Up,” the latest exhibition to grace the art gallery inside of the Boston Athenaeum, photographer Thomas Kellner presents a modern take...
