  • More Large Book Retailers Join Ban On Amazon
    "The money-losing U.S. chain stunned and cheered the publishing industry by announcing its Amazon ban earlier this week, citing the online company's policy of reserving exclusive rights to sell e-books produced by its new publishing arm. By week's end, both Indigo and Books-A-Million, the second largest chain with more than 200 stores, had joined the ban."...

  • Mounting Internet Protests Against International Anti-Piracy Deal
    "European activists who participated in American Internet protests last month learned that there was political power to be harnessed on the Web. Now they are putting that knowledge to use in an effort to defeat new global rules for intellectual property."...

  • Berlin's Deutsche Guggenheim To Close
    "Over the years the Guggenheim has held 57 exhibitions and attracted 1.8 million visitors. It also commissioned 17 artists -- among them John Baldessari, Anish Kapoor, Gerhard Richter and James Rosenquist -- to create new works that were first shown at Deutsche Guggenheim."...

  • Reinventing Classical Music: Pub Crawl
    "The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment - where I'm joint leader - are mid-way through something a little unusual. We're out on the road on tour, but rather than concert halls, our venues are London pubs. Our aim is to put the social back into music."...

  • Report: UK Arts Sector Suffers From Under-Investment In Workers
    "Many of these barriers are a consequence of the distinctive structure of the creative labour market - the sector is characterised by a prevalence of SMEs [small and medium enterprises], micro-businesses, start-ups, freelancers and project-based work. This structural feature is responsible for an overall market failure in which there is under-investment in human capital, fewer training opportunities, insufficiently structured career progression and unfair access to jobs and opportunities."...

  • Imaging The Entire World - A Way Of Visualizing Culture
    "I'm interested intellectually and culturally about how the imaged world is being knit together by technologies such as Photosynth. More or less public images on Flickr, they're all being knit together in this giant quilt. Any place you look has been photographed. Anything you want to see, from the street, from the air, by satellite photo."...

  • With Departure Of NY City Opera, Lincoln Center Theatre Fills Void With Dance
    "The new effort, already under way, presents an opportunity for more dance companies, both local and international, to perform at the prestigious New York address--on a historic stage designed by George Balanchine."...

  • Will Amazon open Its Own Physical Bookstores?
    "For years, there has been speculation that Amazon will open its own outlets, presumably to sell Amazon-label products. The idea seems farfetched, but before 2001 so was the idea of Apple operating its own stores."...

  • Do We Still Need Publishers?
    "Writers are essential. Readers are essential. Publishers are not." And if you are no longer essential to the process, your job just got a lot harder....

  • Study: Social Media More Addicting Than Smoking Or Alcohol
    "Thankfully, the study showed we're all not slaves to vice and distraction, as the need for sleep and leisure topped the list. However, next on the list of 'self-control failure rates' was checking in with social media, email and work -- ahead of the urge to have a Camel Light, while sipping on that glass of 12-year single malt scotch."...

  • Twelve Arts Donors Among This Year's 50 Biggest American Philanthropists
    "Reporters for the Chronicle found specific donations of at least $1 million to arts and cultural institutions by 12 of the 50, totaling $213.4 million. The Philanthropy 50, as the Chronicle calls them, gave $10.4 billion in total charitable donations in 2011, more than three times the $3.3 billion they donated in 2010."...

  • Aspen Music Festival Takes Major Vote Of Confidence In Director It Previously Fired
    Alan Fletcher "not only survived those setbacks, he has made a big comeback. The festival's board has voted him a five-year contract extension, which will keep him as the organization's administrative leader through Dec. 31, 2016."...

  • Indianapolis Symphony CEO Resigns; Board Chair Says He Wasn't Asked To Quit
    "Simon Crookall's abrupt departure Thursday from the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra was entirely voluntary, the organization insists." Board chairman John R. Thornburgh "denied that the board had investigated Crookall's behavior in either his job or his private life."...

  • Where Clybourne Park Diverges From A Raisin In The Sun
    "Where the dramatic urgency of Raisin and the first act of Clybourne" - both set in the same African-American neighborhood - "is driven by blacks and whites fighting to do the right (or wrong) thing in 1959, by 2009 the crises of action have been replaced by a comedy of manners. The issue is no longer what we should do but what we should say and how we should say it."...

  • Having Saved Pasadena Playhouse, Executive Director Quits
    "Stephen Eich, who played a leading role in helping the Pasadena Playhouse survive a financial near-death experience during more than 2½ years as its executive director, has resigned, saying he feels 'a great sense of satisfaction in what I've accomplished' as he moves on to other ventures, including independent theater production."...

  • Béla Tarr Says He Has Quit Filmmaking
    The 58-year-old Hungarian director, best-known (or most notorious) for the seven-and-a-half-hour Sátántangó, has confirmed that his most recent work, The Turin Horse, is his last. "It is an extraordinary move from a man who has won rabid devotees as a standard-bearer for art-house modernism."...

  • Benjamin Zander Talks About His Dismissal From New England Conservatory
    A few weeks after he was fired from his positions with NEC's youth orchestras for having engaged a former child sex offender as videographer, the widely-loved conductor and teacher talks about the lead-up to the controversy, its aftermath, and his own errors in judgment....

  • Spinoza, Godfather Of The First Amendment
    "He was an eloquent proponent of a secular, democratic society, and was the strongest advocate for freedom and tolerance in the early modern period."...

  • Admiring Verdi's Favorite Creation
    "[The composer's] own idea of what his proudest legacy would be - he called it his favorite of all his works - was the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti, a retirement home in Milan for musicians who had reached age 65 and found themselves in dire straits. ... Casa di Riposo still stands today beside a busy Milan traffic circle, still active."...

  • Trying To Rehabilitate Broadway's Most Notorious Stinker
    "Carrie was such a critical and financial flop (at $8 million) that, afterward, its three creators refused to allow another professional production anywhere in the world ... But this winter MCC Theater, a respected Off Broadway company, is trying to reclaim Carrie from contempt. The creators have rewritten the story into a modern-day tale of bullying, with mean girls mocking notions of 'equality'."...
