Butoy has another lovely piece: Hans Christian Andersen's The Steadfast Tin Soldier grafted onto Shostakovich's Second Piano Concerto. The one-legged soldier and his ballerina love battle an evil Jack-in-the-box in a gorgeous blend of traditional and computer animation. Eric Goldberg has a snippet set to Carnival of the Animals--flamingoes playing with yo-yos--that is giddy enough to remind you of Bob Clampett's 1943 cartoon classic A Corny Concerto. The Goldberg variation on Rhapsody in Blue is a smartly syncopated tribute to ageless caricaturist Al Hirschfeld. In the style of the NINAs...
Should that speck of elephant dung be moved up or down on the Holy Mother's breast? To the left or right of that pornographic snippet in the background? These are the kind of questions New Yorkers got to ask starting Oct. 2, when the Brooklyn Museum of Art opened the exhibit "Sensation" to the public...
...shares center stage with her boss in a new pas de deux by Lucy Guerin, an Australian choreographer whose work first caught Baryshnikov's eye three years ago. The combination is potent: Soft Center is a laconic, coolly sensuous duet accompanied by a raspy electronic-music collage with a snippet of Paul Hindemith's mournful Trauermusik stuck in the middle (hence the title). Guerin is a major find--and so is Aedo...
...broken altimeter, a pocket knife, monogrammed handkerchiefs and other personal items. Intriguingly, a pair of sun goggles found in a pocket suggest that he was trying to descend in fading light. There was, however, no sign of Irvine. With the Mallory family's permission, the team took a snippet of tissue from the forearm in order to compare any surviving DNA with samples from his descendants, including perhaps his grandson George, who reached the summit in 1995. Then they covered the body with rocks and read the Anglican service of committal before descending 10,000 ft. for a few days...
...there was a single moment that captured both the fear and the optimism in NATO's shatteringly violent assault on Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic last week, it came after the second wave of attacks, when British Air Commodore David Wilby played an astonishing "bombsight" video. The snippet--about eight seconds long--showed a NATO bomb streaking into an ammunition depot in Kosovo. Milliseconds after the bomb strike, the video showed a large explosion. And then an almost imperceptible snake of flame sneaked outward to a nearby building and triggered a blast so bright and hot it turned the infrared video...
