The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has acquired one of the world’s largest and most comprehensive collections of optical prints, toys and devices that predate motion pictures, the Academy announced on Tuesday.
The Richard Balzer Collection, which consists of more than 9,000 items related to image display, was assembled over more than 40 years by Balzer, an author, documentary photographer and consulting firm CEO who died in 2017. His collection was donated to the Academy Museum and the Academy’s Margaret Herrick Library by his wife, Patricia S. Bellinger, who joined the Academy Museum’s Board of Trustees in early 2020.
In a press release announcing the donation, the Academy Museum said that the collection includes “magic lanterns, magic lantern glass slides, prints, praxinoscopes, figurines, paintings, peepshows, shadow puppets and theaters and more, dating as far back as China’s Ming Dynasty.”
The materials will be used as the basis for one of the museum’s inaugural exhibitions,...

Using music as a tool of protest isn’t anything new. But with the current political climate, we have a sneaking suspicion that music in the U.S. is about to get ever-so-slightly more angry. Here are the most important ones from the genre’s history in America.
“I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier” (1915)
One of the first anti-war pop songs, this song was a hit in 1915, selling 650,000 copies. It also drew scorn from a number of people, including Theodore Roosevelt, who said, “Foolish people who applaud a song entitled ‘I Didn’t Raise My Boy...

As an educator, I’m constantly cycling through the history of animation on a zoetrope hamster wheel, noting how each technical development re-investigates the same fundamental principles set forth by painting, literature, theatre, photography, or any method of communication and presentation. The constantly evolving modes of production in cinema foreshadowed our economy of planned obsolescence via a quest for re-perfection. As revealed by animation historians like Donald Crafton and Maureen Furniss, principles of Taylorism—standardized animation production methods spawning uniform products—governed industry practices. This model re-packages pre-existing modes/products with advances in technology. In this case: 3D is sound; 3D is color; 3D is analog/Sd/HD/2K/4K/6K/Xk video; 3D is IMAX; 3D is new media. I ask my students: have you ever noticed that life is actually in 3D? For me, an obscure and underground experimental animator, cinema is about learning or remembering how to see,...

At the tail end of the sixties, Joshua White made a name for himself by projecting swirls of color behind the stage at the Fillmore East, a Yiddish theater turned concert space in Manhattan's East Village, where regulars of the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa gave the venue the exalted title, "The Church Of Rock And Roll." White's Joshua Light Show and its contemporaries in the UK and the West Coast turned the live shows of musicians of the time -- Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Janis Joplin -- into dreamy listening sessions around a lava lamp writ large.
For four days this fall, those sessions will re-commence. A revival of the Joshua Light Show will drop into Nyu's Skirball Center For The Performing Arts in September, near White's old stomping grounds at the Fillmore (which lives on today as a bank). Among the musicians fronting White -- who now...

The police and press, usually uneasy bedfellows (see the fifth season of The Wire), have turned to crowd-sourcing in an attempt to solve a series of rapes and assaults that has left authorities in four states baffled. It's probably the largest crime to be tracked via Google Maps so far, and, if successful, it will act as a blueprint for future three-way collaborations between law enforcers, the fourth estate, and the public. But, given the whole innocent-until-proven-guilty concept, could the concept lead to lynch mobs taking justice into their own hands?
Many of Google's tools are already being used by police and citizens alike to solve crimes--most notably Earth, Street View, and Maps--and they're certainly a staple of online news sources. However, the WaPo stopped short of allowing its readers to add their own input to the maps and urged anyone with additional information to contact the relevant police forces,...

Things were bumping at the Paste party today at Galaxy Room—Assistant Editor Michael Saba even heard the phrase “Paste is where the hawtness is!” While acts like Roky Erikson with Okkervil River and Frightened Rabbit drew a packed house, one band that deserved a much fuller audience was the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Fresh off of their first Nonesuch release, Genuine Negro Jig, the Chocolate Drops played classic old-timey string blues inspired by the likes of Josh White and the Mississippi Mud Steppers. Picking at their fiddle and banjo strings with the frantic speed of a seismograph, the trio moved between...

Photographer Andreas Gursky is known for capturing massive, impossibly-large subjects, but for his latest project, not even the widest-angled lens on the planet would do. In a new show that opened last week at the Gagosian Gallery in Beverly Hills, Gurksy worked for the first time with satellite imagery as his raw materials for the series named Ocean.
According to the exhibition text: "In their darkly nuanced surfaces, he has worked to reconcile the division between the machine eye and the human eye, continuing the debates and practices begun in the nineteenth century regarding photography and the issue of artistic expression versus objective science."
In a second gallery, Gurksy has collected some of his other well-known works, like this piece, Pyongyang I. A documentary film about his life will also be screening at the space.
The prints complement a new addition by the architect Richard Meier, who added 5000 square feet to the existing gallery,...

Musical adventurers reclaim important chapter of black Americana There’s a long tradition of African-Americans playing old-time music, from blues legends Blind Blake, the Reverend Gary Davis and Josh White to artists such as the Mississippi Mud Steppers and Howard “Louie Bluie” Armstrong, whose early ragtime outfit, the Tennessee Chocolate Drops, has provided a lasting influence—and this modern-day act with its name. The Carolina Chocolate Drops formed in 2005 at the Black Banjo Gathering in Boone, N.C., and since then the young trio has been determined to prove that “black folk were a huge part of the stringband tradition.”...
