...live-wired lead singer, Danius Kesminas, is anything but mild. "A lot of people think what we do is so awful-it's like Weird Al Yankovic," he says. "They sort of cringe, 'This is not art.'" The police who closed down a noisy Histrionics gig in Dresden's Kunsthaus in 2003 obviously didn't think so. But having bitten the hand that feeds him enough times on stage, and on two CDs (Never Mind the Pollocks-Here's the Histrionics and Museum Fatigue), Kesminas, 40, has become the art world's unofficial court jester. Early next month, the band...
...bread and butter of the art world. Which brings us to the major Dali retrospective that opens this week at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It's another step forward in what you might call the late Dali rehab project.

...exhibit was assembled for the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, mostly from the Kunsthaus in Zurich. After New York, the 64-picture Fuseli show will go to Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis and Baltimore. Most of the pictures have an extravagant, stagelike quality; men and women gesture and posture elaborately, as in The Witches Show Macbeth Banquo's Ghost. Macbeth, a heroic, anatomically detailed nude, holds an outstretched hand against the apparition conjured up by the three hags. There are also a few amorous scenes, such as The Kiss, in which the lovers' bodies are passionately contorted, suggestive...
