All Art is Political
I know I shouldn't let it get under my skin, but it always irks me when people say "You're an author, stop being so political!" Writing, like any art, IS political. Part of my job as an author is to comment on the world I live in. If you think art can be apolitical, you're wrong.— Celeste Ng (@pronounced_ing) April 27, 2020

Happy Earth Day - When the Earth Moves Film
When the Earth Moves reclaims the authentic story and original vision of Earth Day as a bipartisan and socially just environmental movement and highlights the need for people across generations and on both sides of the political aisle to play an active part. It also calls attention to the urgent need for Americans to unite around a common goal and purpose.
Happy Earth Day!
by Gregg Chadwick
"The thing that really surprised me was that it [Earth] projected an air of fragility. And why, I don’t know. I don’t know to this day. I had a feeling it’s tiny, it’s shiny, it’s beautiful, it’s home, and it’s fragile."
— Michael Collins, Apollo 11

30”x36” oil on linen 2020
My oil on linen painting Terra Nostra was inspired by the 50th anniversary of Earth Day and the first photograph taken by a human of the globe from space. On December 7, 1972, the astronauts on board Apollo 17 looked out of their spacecraft and saw the entire earth illuminated by the sun. It glowed like a blue jewel. From then on, our conception of our shared earth changed. Eugene Cernan, the pilot of that flight said to Al Reinert in an interview in Atlantic Magazine: "You have to literally just pinch yourself and ask yourself the question, silently: Do you know where you are at this point in time and space, and in reality and in existence, when you can look out the window and you're looking at the most beautiful star in the heavens -- the most beautiful because it's the one we understand and we know, it's home, it's people, family, love, life -- and besides that it is beautiful. You can see from pole to pole and across oceans and continents and you can watch it turn and there's no strings holding it up, and it's moving in a blackness that is almost beyond conception."
I thought it important to get a sense of what NASA astronauts described as the Overview Effect. From space the Earth is revealed to be fragile with a thin atmosphere. And from space, there are no boundaries. No lines demarcating countries or regions. We are united as citizens of earth and we need to protect each other and our planet.
I first became aware of the fragile nature of our planet as an elementary school student. For Christmas one year, I asked my parents for the book “Wildlife in Danger” published by the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature). They are still an important organization providing information, plans, and hope for our endangered earth. Worried about the environment as a kid, I drew pictures of animals constantly. Now I am bringing out a series of paintings inspired by the 50th anniversary of Earth Day on April 22, 2020, that shed light on climate change, the beauty of the natural world, and our place with other species.

Please take a moment today to celebrate #EarthDay. @RRauschenberg had the vision 50 years ago to create an iconic image that juxtaposed hope and fear. What will you write, compose, draw, or paint today on #EarthDay2020 to inspire future generations? https://t.co/wMD6xQcSA9— Gregg Chadwick (@greggchadwick) April 22, 2020

Gerhard Richter: Painting After All
Get an inside look at a master painter at work in this feature-length documentary, streaming here for a limited time, premiering Saturday, April 11, 7 p.m.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition at The Met Breuer, Gerhard Richter: Painting After All, the film will remain available to stream through early July.
Much of this documentary is set in Richter's studio in Cologne, where the filmmaker quietly observed the artist's painting process, and in particular how he creates his large abstract series. The film follows Richter through mesmeric cycles of painting, viewing, and judging. Interspersed throughout are shorter sequences from historical interviews and footage of other aspects of Richter at work, including his interactions with curators, assistants, and family. Filmed principally in 2009, the documentary concludes with the artist completing a large series of mostly white abstract paintings.
The film is available for purchase at Kino Lorber (DVD and Blu-Ray) and Kino Now (digital download).

MAMA VIRTUAL from Jeny Amaya on Vimeo.
MAMA VIRTUAL, directed by 18th Street Arts Center's communications associate Jeny Amaya, materializes the virtual sphere that transnational mothers construct in order to maintain contact with their children and families back in their home countries. Separated from their children, these Central American mothers externalize this virtual realm through their performance of the “mother’s touch” through the touchscreen of a phone, digital images, phone cards, and other mediated technologies.

Because His Music Lives - John Prine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
From Ann Powers' remembrance of John Prine, who died yesterday at the age of 73: “He hadn’t been well, off and on, for many years, but he also seemed oddly indestructible. Everyone’s love and need for his presence wove protection around him. But we are living in a time when no concept of protection seems adequate. Acknowledging that, I turned to Prine’s music. This is how we honor our losses as music fans: by holding close the recordings that keep a voice resonant past mortality.” Click here to read the full remembrance: https://n.pr/34ixO20

Listen Now to Michael McDermott's New Song "What In the World"
Stop what you are doing right now! And turn on this fire breathing new single from my visionary friend Michael McDermott. Michael writes: “Watching the norms of this country be deconstructed and the behavior of he who will not be named, I often just found myself saying aloud ‘What in the world?’ I was in a cab on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago shooting a video for my last record when the chorus of this came to me. The next day, I immediately went to see if those rapid-fire lyrics would fit and lo and behold I had myself that downtrodden anthem I’d always dreamed of.”
Now listen to Bob Cesca's podcast with Michael McDermott:
Now listen to Bob Cesca's podcast with Michael McDermott:
Bob writes - "My guest ... is singer songwriter, Michael McDermott. The new album, What In The World, drops on June 5. In addition to chatting with Michael about his life and music, he performed three of his songs, live here on the show, and at least one will make you cry -- in a good way. We also talked about everything from drugs to Trump to Stephen King, and a lot more. I’m a total fanboy, so this was a rare privilege for me. You should be downloading his albums everywhere you get your digital music, and I assure you, you will absolutely fall in love with his work, as I have. Find him on Facebook and at Michael-McDermott.com. "
