We all have secret pastimes, and for Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk, it’s painting.
We all have secret pastimes, and for Nobel Prize-winning author Orhan Pamuk, it’s painting. His latest book gathers pages from his illustrated journals, assembling an intimate portrait of time itself. For Hyperallergic, poet and novelist Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!, speaks with Pamuk about writers who are also painters and much more today. Especially for devotees of both visual art and literature, it’s a must-read. Over on our podcast, Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian presents a rare recorded interview with feminist writer and critic Lucy Lippard. Listen to their conversation on her move from New York to rural New Mexico and the decades-long, ongoing fight for a just art world. And as you make your long-weekend movie plans, don’t miss Roman historian Sarah E. Bond on the racist undertones of Gladiator II. Read on for a delightful show of over 600 artworks by staff members at The Met Museum in New York, Diné textiles in Santa Fe, and more. Have a lovely day ahead. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor | |
