The Venus of Willendorf dates to between 28.000-30.000 BC, making it one of the oldest and most famous surviving works of art. It was found in 1908 at a paleolithic site near Willendorf, a village in Lower Austria near the town of Krems.

@humboldtforum @PPR_Dahlem @museumsforscher @BG_Museum @DHMBerlin @burrellcollect @Tate @puppys_ @UniofOxford @Poltern_ @MDHistory @southbankcentre @ragaravishankar 'Fred Wilson labelled each figure as a 'portrait of [the shop owner]', implying they speak more to the ideologies of the commissioners than to the Natives they supposedly portray'.

In Issue #015, read about @ArturoKameya 's piece from the 2021 #triennale at the @newmuseum. Submerge yourself in what #DarcyOlmstead calls “a theater of miscommunication,” and explore the type of #ghosts at play in Kameya’s piece “Who can afford to feed more ghosts?” 👻

The work of #EmmaSafir situates itself in the murky intersection of #gender and #technological #development. Interested? Obviously. Read a thoughtful exhibition review by #CarlotaOrtizMontaserio in Issue #015, which *weaves* together issues #labor, #domesticity, and #tech 🪡🎨💻

Still pinching myself that next week I’ll be directing a reading of my new play Ghostwriter!! I’m so grateful to have been selected for the Reading Room at the @_bridgetheatre and can’t wait to share this piece with an invited industry audience 🌟

[Andrew Russeth @AndrewRusseth]

My preference would be a Biennale far more focused more on living artists (untested, ready to swing for the fences), but the ambition and range of this list thrills: a smorgasbord, a feast, a luxurious banquet of art history. https://t.co/vVvODxcgdl

[Krasis @AshmoleanKrasis]

#Krasis13 Week 3, and @MedievalWitch44 is in charge, sending us out to consider the voices present in the displays of @AshmoleanMuseum and the choices we have made about the stories we tell.
We start in West Meets East.

Why not East Meets West?
