I remember thinking they really floated not knowing that it was starch that held them up. This year, I decided it was time to make some for my friends to experience. I used liquid starch, which is kind of hard to come by. Plus, it’s a lot of money to spend on a ghost or two. So, I found a better and cheaper way to make these. Here’s what you need: Cheesecloth (I just found mine in the baking section of the grocery store and it was about $3. I used the whole package for one ghost. I cut it in half and used 2 layers to make it sturdier) First, you start by making homemade liquid starch. Meanwhile, set up your “make-shift” stand. You can use cups, balloons, Styrofoam balls. Whatever you can find to make the right shape and size. You just want to make sure you can pull it out from under the cheesecloth once it’s dry. Balloons are nice because you can pop them. I didn’t have any balloons on hand, so here’s what I used: I put some freezer paper on the table so that the ghost would have something to sit on (besides the table) while it dried. Drape the pieces of cheesecloth one at a time over your make-shift stand and make sure you arrange it how you want it. Once it’s dry, you can’t really change anything. Once you’ve got it perfect, allow it to completely dry. Mine took overnight. When it’s stiff, carefully remove the cheesecloth from the mold and glue on two felt eyes. It’s really hard to capture on camera, but the ghost is completely see-through and looks like it’s just floating!

The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s American wing has never before hosted a show of Native work. But this new exhibit, featuring 116 masterworks from 50 cultures across North America, is an unforgettable way to begin catching up. An extraordinary early-20th century Yup’ik dance mask — painted wood and vegetable fiber depicting a white-nailed hand clutching a salmon, a spotted bird and half a human face — wears its mind-bending imagery casually: After ceremonial use, the Yup’ik typically threw their masks away. A Tsimshian headdress frontlet from 19th-century British Columbia, on the other hand, in which squares of iridescent green abalone shell alternate with grimacing faces, was clearly intended for the ages. WILL HEINRICH Theater: It’s B.Y.O.V. for Fringe Festival This YearOct. 3-31; fringenyc.org. Bringing your own venue didn’t used to be an option at the New York International Fringe Festival, which until this year rented all of the theaters where its shows took place. But in the newly reconfigured version of this scrappy downtown stalwart, it has both pared back the overall number of productions and expanded from Manhattan, adding a slate of shows in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island dubbed FringeBYOV, starting on Wednesday, Oct. 3. Locations in those boroughs include a shipping container (for a version of “Macbeth” called “Makbet”), subways and ferries (several downloadable pod plays from This Is Not a Theater Company) and perhaps your very own kitchen, should you want a performer named Brian Feldman to deliver a monologue of your choosing while he does your dishes (“Dishwasher”). Also in the mix are more conventional spaces like the Irondale Center (“Salome,” from the company M-34) and the Brick (“Donald Trump Dies in the End,” a comedy). The bulk of the festival, though, is still in Manhattan, and you’ll have to wait a little longer for those shows. That segment runs Oct. 12-28. LAURA COLLINS-HUGHES Pop Music: Brooklyn Electronic Music FestivalOct. 3-6; brooklynemf.com. While New York is a destination for night life connoisseurs, there’s no question that the center of forward-looking electronic music still resides across the pond. Small pockets of influential D. J.s and producers reside in cities like Detroit, Chicago, D.C. and Los Angeles, but the infrastructure for them to distribute and perform their work pales in comparison to what’s available in Europe. Artists there attain a level of success virtually unheard-of Stateside. That’s why when perusing the lineup for the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival, artists from the borough itself are mostly supporting acts. The headliners provide a remarkable survey of European electronic music: the French house artist Breakbot; DJ Hell, a German turntablist who’s a curator of the soon-to-be-opened Museum of Modern Electronic Music in Frankfurt; Massimiliano Pagliara, who spins a blend of house and disco; and the Russian dentist turned international house sensation Nina Kraviz. England is represented by Mount Kimbie and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs; Sweden by DJ Seinfeld. The biggest name in ballroom (not fox trots, but the local house subgenre), MikeQ, may be the sole large-type artist from the tristate area. But his dynamic House of Yes party, which has been folded into this edition of the festival, is sure to be one of its highlights. NATALIE WEINER Film: Mary Elizabeth Winstead in ‘All About Nina’Sept. 28. Think of the milestones that could have been achieved — the cure for cancer or solving the energy crisis or even world peace — if only men could keep it in their pants. And that’s just the starting point for Nina (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), a New York stand-up comedian who caps her raunch-riddled, take-no-prisoners routines with stress vomiting, anonymous sex and getting knocked around by the married cop (Chace Crawford) she’s seeing. But after he bangs up her face one too many times in Eve Vives’s “All About Nina,” opening Friday, Sept. 28, Nina sets off for Los Angeles, where a tryout for a “Saturday Night Live”-esque comedy show awaits. During a club set, she brashly announces that she doesn’t date — she has sex. Then Rafe (Common) walks up and asks: “What would you like? What do you want?” He’s not merely inquiring about her drink order. Ms. Winstead — killing it — burrows into pain and rage like a run-amok tap root while proving that women can be funny too. Common — sizzling and sensitive — reveals himself a leading man. And if their romance initially borders on the fairy-tale, just wait until you get to the punch line. KATHRYN SHATTUCK TV: Queen Elizabeth Prepares the Next GenerationOct. 1; hbo.com. In May, Meghan Markle married Britain’s Prince Harry with the signature flowers from the 53 countries of the Commonwealth embroidered on her 16-foot veil. The couple, now the Duke and Duchess of Sussex — with Harry recently appointed Commonwealth youth ambassador — will soon embark on a tour of Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific island nations of Fiji and Tonga 65 years after Queen Elizabeth II’s post-coronation Commonwealth tour. With places to go and people to see, there’s protocol galore — and who better to impart centuries of monarchical wisdom than Her Majesty? “Queen of the World,” an ITV documentary debuting Monday, Oct. 1, on HBO, follows the queen, now 92, across a year as she prepares the younger generation of the royal family for the global stage. Charles, the Prince of Wales; William and Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge; Princess Anne; Sophie, the Countess of Wessex; and Princess Beatrice of York make appearances. As does Meghan, who reminisces about her wedding day as she is reunited with her Givenchy gown as it’s prepared for exhibition. Yes, it’s emotional. KATHRYN SHATTUCK Dance: Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker’s LatestOct. 1-7; armoryonpark.org. Sometimes it takes a few years, even decades, to transform the spark of an idea into something fully realized. In 1980, the Belgian choreographer Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker studied at New York University, where she burrowed into building “Violin Phase,” her now classic solo to the music of Steve Reich. At the same time she was listening to Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos, and she didn’t forget them. More than 30 years later, she has unveiled “The Six Brandenburg Concertos,” for 16 members of her Brussels-based company, Rosas. Accompanied live by the baroque ensemble B’Rock, the work makes its North American premiere on a grand scale, in the 55,000-square-foot drill hall of the Park Avenue Armory. At once sensuous and severe, Ms. De Keersmaeker’s dances can be bracing in their abandon or willfully introspective. And even when wildly complex, they seem born from the simple process of hearing music and falling in love. SIOBHAN BURKE Classical: The Legacy of Gustav MahlerOct. 1-4; acfny.org. As the fall season revs up in the world of Big Classical — Carnegie Hall hosts its opening gala, featuring the San Francisco Symphony, on Oct. 3 — smaller-scale wonders unfold at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York’s festival Moving Sounds, a powerful collision between canonic and new. The four-night event, held at several Manhattan venues this week, focuses on the legacy of Gustav Mahler and transmutes the composer’s gargantuan vision into more intimate settings, including a new chamber arrangement of movements from the unfinished Symphony No. 10 played by the Argento New Music Project. New Mahler-inspired works by a range of contemporary composers will be performed, including a solo piano improvisational response to the Symphony No. 1 by Elisabeth Harnik. Notably, the festival also grapples with the legacy of his wife, Alma Mahler, who is more often treated as muse than as creative figure in her own right: Monday’s concert will feature several of her early songs, as well as a homage to her music by Patricia Alessandrini. WILLIAM ROBIN Powered by WPeMatico The post The Week in Culture: Native Art at the Met; the Fringe Festival in a Ferry appeared first on OriginalArt. via OriginalArt https://ift.tt/2OtD0uq Art on theMart kicks off with a really big-screen question: Is Chicago ready for video art?9/30/2018 Rivers of eyeballs flowed across the Merchandise Mart Saturday night. A giraffe projected against the central section of the great behemoth of a building stared out at the opening night crowd gathered across the Chicago River. Thickets of flowers sprouted, and spread, and resolved themselves into something else. Art on theMart, in the inaugural showing of what is being pitched as a three-decade, ongoing public art work, showed itself to be surreal, populist, inscrutable, obvious, confounding and engaging Saturday before a crowd that included city bigwigs down on the Riverwalk and thousands of Chicagoans up on the closed-off Wacker Drive. The project has the potential to be a lot of things as a visual backdrop to the nighttime kayakers, the Riverwalk promenaders, the Brown Line âLâ trains crossing the river on the bridge to the east, as it shows for two hours a night, five nights a week, every month but January and February. But, to its credit, it does not seem desperate to pander with easily readable takes on how to fill a 2.5-acre drive-in movie screen. Yes, there were elephant butts walking away as Diana Thaterâs nature video portion of the program announced âThe End,â but there was also University of Chicago professor Jason Salavonâs take on Chicago art history, with fragmentary visual references to Kerry James Marshall, to the fluorescent faces of Ed Paschke and to the frizzy lines of Moholy-Nagy. But whatever was showing on the screen, whether trippy or horticultural or both, Chicagoans can boast of this new fixture with a First City superlative. It is, the dignitaries noted, be the largest permanent exhibit of its kind in the world. Obscura Digital, the San Francisco firm that guided the installation of 34 projectors firing almost 1 million lumen at theMart, has âthrown lightâ all over the world, but this is the one that intends to stick around, not just be a temporary event. âWe are eager to welcome Art on theMart into the pantheon of iconic public art in Chicago,â alongside Cloud Gate, the Daley Plaza Picasso, and the murals in Pilsen, said city cultural commissioner Mark Kelly, in the minutes before Saturdayâs roughly half-hour program began. But video art, as anybody whoâs been to a museum can tell you, is a challenging medium for a people trained to expect narrative when they see images moving on a screen. The spectacle itself, of filling two football fields of architectural surface with colored light, is stunning. But if this one catches on the way those other works have, it seems more likely to be a Picasso-like process of exposure, then understanding, then, perhaps, affection, rather than the instant charm blitz of Cloud Gate, Anish Kapoorâs reflective bean in Millennium Park. Still Chicago and Vornado Realty, which owns the Building Formerly Known as the Merchandise Mart and is footing the multi-million-dollar bill to illuminate its southern facade, want this to be a showcase for curated artwork, not just the latest and largest (and most heavily windowed) video screen in town. âNo messaging, no sponsorship, only artists!,â Kelly proclaimed, shortly before he, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and some of the four artists commissioned to do the first pieces for the screen led a countdown. âThis will always be a place where Chicago artists can show their work,â said Emanuel. The coming two-hour programs will show on rotation the initial four commissions, also including a complex floral homage to Chicago art by local artist Jan Tichy and an imaginative piece transforming theMart âsimultaneously ⦠into an aperture and a void,â by Chinese artist Zheng Chongbin, plus interstitials from Obscura Digital. The biggest oohs and aahs from the crowd came when one of Thaterâs elephants appeared on screen â something recognizable, suggesting a possible story, rather than abstract imagery! â and then at the end. Thatâs when the one-night only fireworks seemed to fire out of the statues in front of theMart, the row of busts on tall pedestals that David Letterman once called âthe PEZ hall of fame.â âTo be honest, I was expecting something with a little more music and motion,â said Alejandro De la Luz, who lives near Midway and works in theMart, for the Illinois Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. (All those lumens, organizers said, are so precisely aimed that they only illuminate building walls, not the hundreds of windows.) As artists see it in use, suggested his companion at the opening event, his mother Laura Guerrero, artists will learn to adapt and to make use of the projectâs unique features. Music, though, is a challenge. Speakers played whatever soundtrack the artists wanted on opening night, but organizers donât want this to be a new noise feature in the city. Future showings will be coordinated with music that viewers can call up via the projectâs website and their own headphones. âI thought it was cool,â said Matt Greenwood, a Morton Grove resident who works downtown as a software developer. âPeople got excited when the fireworks started â and when the elephant showed up.â Added his wife, financial modeler Amanda Greenwood, âKids were saying, âWhere are the lions?â And they were grossed out by the eyeballs.â The Greenwoods agreed itâs a worthy addition to the cityâs range of attractions. âHopefully,â Amanda said, âit will get people off their phones.â Twitter @StevenKJohnson Art on theMart test lights up the Chicago River with a million-lumen rainbow » Plan would turn Mart into âlargest canvas in the worldâ for video art » Light projection project planned for Merchandise Mart » Powered by WPeMatico The post Art on theMart kicks off with a really big-screen question: Is Chicago ready for video art? appeared first on OriginalArt. via OriginalArt https://ift.tt/2Ql4GPD We’ll be sharing time this morning with enthusiasts of a certain form of POP ART, as Conor Knighton shows us: Inside of a San Diego Sheraton, the dance floor was blowing up. A bunch of party animals had come together for one week to have some fun, no strings attached. As the pop music plays, “pop” is the one sound that could crush the dreams of these competitors. They’ve traveled from all across the globe to take part in the World Balloon Convention. “Oh, my gosh, the World Balloon Convention is our Oscars, it’s our Academy Awards,” said Connie Iden-Monds. It is where people go, she said, “when they want to touch greatness.” Iden-Monds is a balloon artist in Nashville, Tennessee. And if that sounds like a bizarre job to you, well, you’d get along with Connie’s parents. “My family wasn’t terribly supportive,” she told Knighton. “They were like, ‘You’re going be a clown?'” But the joke was on them; balloon art is big business. High-end parties and corporate clients pay thousands of dollars for elaborate displays. Iden-Monds is self-taught. “I picked up a library book and a basketball pump in college!” she said. Most balloon artists start with the basics – a few quick twists and turns and you’ve got a dog or a hat or a sword. For Knighton’s first attempt, Iden-Monds taught him how to make a flower. “My first balloon flower … you just deflowered me!” A month before the competition, Iden-Monds was working on something much larger, something she couldn’t do alone. She had recruited an elite squad of balloon-atics from all across the country. “I looked for very specific talents,” she said. Knighton noted, “It sounds like something out a heist movie, where it’s just like, ‘Guys, this is Connie. I’m puttin’ together a team.'” When her team finally came together in San Diego, they had 27 hours to assemble a large balloon sculpture from scratch. Their competition? Countries from all over the world – the Italians, the Japanese, the Russians, who all spent thousands of dollars just to attend. Again, that is 27 hours straight. Unless you have 27 people, like Taiwan’s team, there’s not much time to rest. The event’s million-and-a-half balloons were free, provided by the Pioneer Balloon Company, run by Ted and Betty Blamis, who are true believers in the art. “You take a very simple product that doesn’t look like anything in its uninflated form, and then you add magic to it by either air or helium going into it. And all the sudden it changes character!” said Ted. Eventually, the larger-than-life characters started to take shape. The Incredible Hulk … A massive wolf … A 15-foot-tall tiger … and the American team’s entry, from “The Little Mermaid,” a giant Ursula the Sea Witch. Iden-Monds was relieved once all the work was done: “I’m happy to have had a good night’s sleep after 27 hours. I haven’t stayed up that long since college,” she laughed. Once everything is inflated, it’s up to judges like Sue Bowler. There are awards for Best Hat, Best Small Figure, Best Fashion. Her criteria? “Have they used balloons in a creative and an unusual way? Is what they’re making technically difficult? Have their hidden their mechanics?” It’s a friendly competition – the balloon world is small, and the convention, held every two years, is a chance to network and take classes together. But still, the U.S. has never placed at WBC in the Large Sculpture category, and so any award would be a big deal for the Americans. When the big night finally arrived, Iden-Monds won third place. The squad was all smiles. The Tiger from Taiwan won first place, while the Russians’ wolf took second. But the winning sculptures are not going to fit on the plane back home. None of them will. Balloons are a temporary medium. The convention ends as you knew it would, with a mass popping – everything that took years of planning is gone in a matter of minutes, reduced down to a few trash bags. And while it might be sad to watch, Iden-Monds says the experience of seeing the smiles makes it all worth it. “It’s joy in a package,” she said. “And by sharing a little bit of joy in a balloon, that transcends language, that transcends race. And in fact, I tell people all the time, ‘I’m so lucky. I’m, like, completely blessed, ’cause I have a job where I make somebody happy every single day.’ “It doesn’t get any better than that!” Story produced by Young Kim. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc.
