Artist Heide Hatry channels Victor Frankenstein as she stitches together pieces of pigskin to make female figures. And like Frankenstein’s monster, the masquerade of life she creates never takes on fully human form, instead leaving the viewer in shock and disgust. Hatry’s current exhibition, “Heads and Tales,” is on display at the Pierre Menard Gallery at 10 Arrow Street until March 17. Hatry fashions each of her figures out of untreated pig meat, skin, and eyes. She then dresses and paints them with makeup before modeling them...
Still, could a commercial break in the middle of Big Love, HBO's critically acclaimed hour-long series, increase a viewer's intensity after the break ("Yes, it's back!"), thereby improving the overall experience? And what do these findings mean for the advertising industry? Will under-35 viewers, the catnip demographic for most sponsors, start ditching the DVRs so they can absorb the ads? "I'd imagine that advertisers might smile and pat themselves on the back for this," says Nelson, the report's lead author. "But it's not going to lead people to keep commercials in their...
What was it that Czanne did that was so important to the future? Many things, but chief among them is that he shattered the picture plane.

In a mature Czanne, every brushstroke leads a double life, as part of a painterly illusion and as a thing in itself, a patch...
...need for attention. Such motives, which would be decried as narcissistic in face-to-face conversation, somehow become socially acceptable when affirmed in the impersonal space of the Internet, where the safe barrier of the computer screen, and the absence of fact-checkers, separates the poster from the viewer and reality from fiction. The pervasive force of modern voyeurism—the fact that we can know intimate details about a person’s life and relationships without ever interacting with them, whether through Facebook, tabloids, or reality television—allows us to keep on looking, without examining...
...were earning $30,000 a week at Manhattan's Copacabana night club. In live appearances at movie theaters they stoked ardor of Beatles intensity. But it was on the infant medium of TV that Martin and Lewis were awesome. Their appearances on NBC's Colgate Comedy Hour made the viewer a co-conspirator in their anarchy; they broke the "fourth wall" as blithely as if it were a cardboard prop, and incorporated their famous arguments into gag lyrics for their duets. Their jokes became instant catchphrases, like the running gag where Jerry would hand Dean an ice cream cone...
