4 d. ago ‘I would never be able to sing a song that a robot wrote’: Lucy Dacus on her new album’s themes of artistry and intimacy

As the indie singer-songwriter and Boygenius star releases her latest, highly personal solo record, she talks of her weariness of AI and digital art, the pressures of being in a public relationship, and her anger and fears in Trump’s USIn the shadow of a Hogarth painting, accompanied by guitar and violin, Lucy Dacus is singing about disappointment. The painting depicts Thomas Coram, founder of the Foundling Hospital in London’s Bloomsbury district. A shipbuilder by trade, he is portrayed in full baroque garb, a style usually reserved for the aristocracy.

8 d. ago Here Is a Gale Warning review – five tumultuous decades of catastrophic art

Kettle’s Yard, CambridgeA flag hoisted in 1971 looms over a show that references to George Floyd, Inuit women and spear-bearing Amazons – to a droll soundtrack from Xena: Warrior Princess and Buffy the Vampire Slayer One gusty afternoon in 1971, the artist Rose Finn-Kelcey hoisted a flag above Alexandra Palace in London. Silver lamé letters on a black background, spelling Here Is a Gale Warning, sounded the alarm for an unspecified emergency. A half century later, Finn-Kelcey’s act, a video of which flickers above one of the two main galleries at Kettle’s Yard and gives this exhibition its title, no longer seems so enigmatic. From climate change to economic precarity to rising fascism, we are living in an age of concurrent catastrophes.
