Ibeyi - River
These French/Cuban twin beauties make up the group Ibeyi. They sing in both English and Yoruba, a West African language that travelled to Cuba via slavery in the 1700s. The twins' father was the famed Cuban percussionist, Anga Díaz, who was a member of the Buena Vista Social Club.

NOWHERE (2009) / central scene / for Pina
This is breathtaking.
"NOWHERE was created by DIMITRIS PAPAIOANNOU in 2009 to inaugurate the renovated Main Stage of the Greek National Theatre in Athens.This central scene is dedicated to the memory of PINA BAUSCH.
NOWHERE explores the nature of the theatrical stage itself, a spatial mechanism continually transformed and redefined by the human presence to denote any place, and yet designed to be a non-place. 26 performers measure and mark out the space using their bodies, pitting themselves against its dimensions and technical capabilities in a site-specific performance that can be presented nowhere else."

Brian Calvin
"The slender young people Brian Calvin paints
look as if they were lifted from a teenage cartoonist's sketchbook. They
have comically long faces, oversize heads, huge lips, stringy hair, big
eyes with reflections carefully noted, and vacant, vaguely depressed
expressions.
Because of the cartoon style
and the disaffected moods of his subjects, this Los Angeles-based artist
has been called a slacker. The label is wrong, though, because he pays
assiduous attention to the formal dimensions of his medium. The way he
flattens, simplifies and crops his figures and their Southern California
backgrounds and his use of richly saturated colors has earned him
comparison with Alex Katz and David Hockney. It does appear that he is
at once emulating and parodying those painters, and the effect is
amusing."NYT
