NYT | F.B.I. Says It Has Clues in ’90 Boston Art Heist

Very big news on the twenty-third anniversary of the Gardner Museum heist - the largest property crime in American history. The statute of limitations has run, but the museum’s chief goal is to recover the art. The FBI is offering a $5 million reward for recovery.

Marina Abramović e Ulay - MoMA 2010 (by MiticoMazz)

Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again.

At her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, where she shared a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing and this is what happened.

“But there is an enormous difference between being silenced and choosing to be silent. When we are silenced, you have something to say but no one will listen. When you choose to be silent, to quiet it down, to listen, you’ve actually exercised the other part of voice. The part that makes your voice sound like something. It sounds like something in comparison to the silence.”

- Melissa Harris-Perry, Commencement address at Wellesley College on May 25, 2012

Jenny & Tyler | "The Sound of Silence"

Jenny & Tyler | "The Sound of Silence":

New artist discovery! Jenny & Tyler are a married singer/songwriter duo and they recently released a cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence” that’s rising in the iTunes charts. All proceeds from song sales go to fight human trafficking. If you’re a fan of supporting small indie artists AND a good cause, click through the link and give it a listen. If you like it, consider downloading it.

There’s more of the story behind this recording on Jenny & Tyler’s blog. I love that their cover features clarinet (not unlike Lauren Mann’s “Let’s Make Our Escape”)!
