3D movies, 360 degree cameras, virtual reality games … artists and scientists have been interested in immersing us in convincing recreations of reality for quite some time.
Way back in the 19th century there were already attempts to surround people with 360 degree murals. The theatre too, as in the work of Antonin Artaud or the Futurists, tried to blur the line between the performance and the real. Later came such developments as 3D films, flight simulators, Sensorama, and more. More recently virtual reality headsets have made virtual reality even more real. And where scientists and entertainers go, artists may follow. This year’s Art Basel featured several attempts to transport visitors into a world other than their own.
Art is communication. It’s also a commodity. And the two don’t always sit well together. Thinkers as different as Karl Marx, Immanuel Kant, Thorstein Veblen, Walter Benjamin, and more have discussed this dual nature of creativity. Art fairs and art auctions themselves are clear examples of the interaction of the two worlds of commodity and art. Two recent reports on the art market, one new one presented at this year’s Art Basel suggest that the economics of the art world may have taken a slight turn for the worse over the past couple of years, but researchers like Clare McAndrew, known for her research on the art market, still see a positive future.
It’s not so rare for writers and composers to turn to the works of Shakespeare for inspiration, and that’s exactly what happened with one of the world’s most loved musicals, when “Romeo and Juliet” became Maria and Tony, and the Montagues and Capulets became the Jets and the Sharks in “West Side Story”.
With a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, it debuted in Washington in August 1957, and a month later on Broadway. Now it’s coming to Hong Kong. And “Maria” and “Tony” are here with Ben.
