Synopsis

In "Travels in South Kensington with Notes on Decorative Art and Architecture in England," Moncure Daniel Conway meticulously explores the rich tapestry of England's decorative arts and architectural elegance, particularly focusing on the affluent South Kensington area. Employing an observational style, Conway interweaves detailed descriptions with historical context, allowing readers to appreciate the cultural significance of various art forms. This work stands out not just as a travel narrative but as a scholarly commentary on the 19th-century art movement, reflecting the Victorian ethos of aestheticism and the emerging global influence on British art and design. Moncure Daniel Conway, an American abolitionist and reformer, possessed a profound appreciation for art and its capacity to inspire social change. His background as a Unitarian minister and his exposure to transformative philosophical ideas influenced his perspective on the interrelation of art, culture, and society. Conway's travels across Europe sparked his passion for highlighting the underappreciated artistry of everyday life, culminating in this in-depth analysis of South Kensington. I highly recommend "Travels in South Kensington" to anyone interested in the intersection of art, architecture, and cultural history. Conway's engaging narrative offers both practical knowledge and a reflective lens on the importance of decorative arts, making it an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and arts enthusiasts alike.

    The Grand Union - Accidental...

    The Grand Union was a leaderless improvisation group in SoHo in the 1970s that included people who became some of the biggest names in postmodern dance: Yvonne Rainer, Trisha Brown, Steve Paxton, Barbara Dilley, David Gordon, and Douglas Dunn. Together they unleashed a range of improvised forms from peaceful movement explorations to wildly imaginative collective fantasies. This book delves into the "collective genius" of Grand Union and explores their process of deep play. Drawing on hours of archival videotapes, Wendy Perron seeks to understand the ebb and flow of the performances. Includes 65 photographs.

    An engaging exploration into the enduring popularity of Dirty Dancing and its lasting themes of feminism, activism, and reproductive rights
    		 
    When Dirty Dancing was released in 1987, it had already been rejected by producers and distributors several times over, and expectations for the summer romance were low. But then the film, written by former dancer Eleanor Bergstein and starring Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze as a couple from two different worlds, exploded. Since then, Dirty Dancing’s popularity has never waned. The truth has always been that Dirty Dancing was never just a teen romance or a dance movie — it also explored abortion rights, class, and political activism, with a smattering of light crime-solving.
    		 
    In The Time of My Life, celebrated music journalist Andrea Warner excavates the layers of Dirty Dancing, from its anachronistic, chart-topping soundtrack, to Baby and Johnny’s chemistry, to Bergstein’s political intentions, to the abortion subplot that is more relevant today than ever. The film’s remarkable longevity would never have been possible if it was just a throwaway summer fling story. It is precisely because of its themes — deeply feminist, sensitively written — that we, over 30 years later, are still holding our breath during that last, exhilarating lift.
