  1. Jennifer Mills: Art to laugh with (not at)

    The art world takes itself very seriously. Make that very, very seriously.
    The art world takes itself very seriously. Make that very, very seriously. What little laughter can be heard between the white walls of the museum typically comes at the expense of art by people who don't understand it. Far rarer are chuckles that erupt...

  2. Review: 'My Life and My Life in the Nineties' by Lyn Hejinian

    There's that John Cage quote people trot out when you call a piece of art boring &mdash; &ldquo;In Zen they say: If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and so on. Eventually one discovers that it's not boring at all but very interesting.&rdquo; The thing no one ever points out about this is that it's not true. I had a temp job, moons and moons ago, in data entry at a giant law firm. Cage's aphorism should hang on the particleboard of corporate drudge mines everywhere, right next to <em>Arbeit macht frei</em>.

  4. Festival of the Arts Boca takes a youthful turn

    As a violinist who calls himself the &quot;Viagra of classical music" and "Edward Violinhands," the South Korean virtuoso Amadeus Leopold is every bit as humble as his onstage performance is subtle. Which is to say, not at all.

  5. Review: Encounter with postwar giants at Southwest Chamber Music festival

    Southwest Chamber Music's 2013 L.A. International New Music Festival, in progress at the Colburn School's Zipper Concert Hall, is doing its attentive bit to broaden international musical relations. We hear too little music from Mexican, Korean or even Venezuelan composers. America and Germany lost its two greatest senior composers &mdash; Elliott Carter and Hans Werner Henze &mdash; late last year, but they have been long lost on the West Coast, where they remain ignored. Thankfully in such matters, Southwest can serve as an indispensable diplomat.

  6. Grammys 2013: Marlow Rosado y La Riquena win for tropical Latin album

    The catch-all tropical Latin album category is one of the fuzziest, encompassing everything from salsa and cumbia to <em>bachata, reggaeton</em> and merengue. But there's nothing vague or soft-edged about this year's winner, Marlow Rosado y La Rique&ntilde;a, who won the award with his album &quot;Retro" (Pink Chaos Productions).

  10. Elliott Carter dies at 103; inventive American composer

    Elliott Carter, the great American composer who was born in the horse-and-buggy era but whose music persistently looked ahead by reflecting and unabashedly celebrating the intricacies of modern life, died Monday of natural causes at his home in New York, according to his close friend and assistant, clarinetist Virgil Blackwell. He was 103.

  11. Riffing on the highs and lows of the sonic landscape

    The quirky violist known as Ljova, an ingratiating fixture on the New York new music scene, has just released a recording called &quot;Melting River." You can purchase and download it for as little as $2 on the artist-friendly website Bandcamp as either an inferior MP3 file or an HD-resolution FLAC file. Ljova says that there will be no physical release.

  12. The year of John Cage

    Once, when asked how he thought history would consider his work, John Cage responded that he had made so much, getting rid of it all would be very difficult. Twenty years after his death he has been spectacularly proven right. This year marked the 100th anniversary of the composer's birth in Los Angeles on Sept. 5. As part of an international celebration, Cage's work appeared and continues to appear in concert halls, opera houses, museums, galleries, clubs, alternative spaces, reconverted industrial buildings, parks, street corners, atria and even a dock or two by the bay.
