Also successfully taken place the summer opera is back on stage but outdoors like last week in naples with soprano on and a truck on tuscan york history members were seated far apart and there was no stage set. In for rona to the approach was less than opulent with fewer people in the audience. Their ideas have audiences in their own cars like at this drive in concert in switzerland so theres a lot to recommend outdoor performances. So from the street from not the new street we are back. Into the street but outdoor concerts arent an option for the winter months so organizers have to come up with other solutions clones like the audience sits in plexiglas compartments. In a pilot performance at londons palladium theater they blocked off entire rows of seats and heidi and spencer as were required to wear masks but that isnt a long Term Solution its just north economically possible so weve got to get to a pilot where we dont have social distancing which is why we put all these measures in at the palladium not to prove i must stress this not to prove that the palladium can work its to prove that every venue can work until a vaccine for covert 19 is found the search also continues for innovative ways to allow Live Performances to take place safely. The search continues and my colleague Melissa Holroyd is here what to help guide us through now melissa we just saw that even Andrew Lloyd Webber says that these methods these gimmicks arent really sustainable theyre not particularly profitable what do you think could we conceivably go back to barge scale performances in person before theres a vaccine. While the sun shines we can do anything thats what i think as long as that summer and we can go outside we can do a whole lot of stuff thats if were talking about indoor consulates. Then i think they have to find a vaccine really fast because all of this stuff costs money it will cost money all this plexiglas the pixie glass its between us now. Here it will cost money and you know a lot of performance and a lot of venues simply dont have that money at the moment we have the salzburg festival on and they have it mean that were seeing some wonderful pictures from the opera electra from side yes so they i mean they have invested a great deal of money into the into the nations that theyve taken but even then even the austrians with all that cash banks say that they cannot keep doing this they cant keep doing this year after year now where im wondering so it sounds like this is not this is not necessarily the way forward this is kind of a show of how one could do it but even for the musicians here for years musicians havent been able to rely on album sales since truly happened a lot of them rely on concert sales how are they surviving well the have to come up with new ideas dont they and they are doing that very quickly at the moment things are moving on when the current virus 1st happened we had a situation where people performing more and more from their own homes so they got a little we got a nice look into their bedrooms we got to see what their cats looked like we got to see their kids run in front of the camera and now people are sort of going to the opposite end of that and putting a lot of money into their concerts so nikkei for example he put on a concert film called idiot train which was captured at londons island Alexandra Palace last month the broadcasts were treated like a live in the infant and you couldnt watch them off to july the 23rd. Ok Melissa Holroyd are going to have to revisit their thats thats what concerts are for and how thanks for joining us. And now not all artists it must be said are white men it sounds pretty obvious but maybe it wouldnt be that obvious if you just went by the art thats in a lot of western art museums including this painting by jasper johns at the museum in cologne germany well that museum has been taking a critical look at its collection of american art from the 1960 s. And seventys and of the stories that its collection doesnt tell. The honest abolition view of United States history and with it but history is under scrutiny the dominant narrative has been white male and hetero normative. So colognes Museum Ludwig invited Research Fellow Janice Mitchell to critically review its american Art Collection she also arranged loans of other outlets to fill gaps for this exhibition. This 980 video artwork by howard dean a pin down is titled free white and 21. It shows a black artist transforming herself into a white woman who then rejects and attacks the black womans experiences of racism. He really must be paranoid and never had an experience like that of them or some free ones with. The current anti racist demonstrations similar to the ones that took place in the 1960 s. And seventys make mapping the collection more relevant than ever. As to me its always relevant racism sexism all these things unfortunately theyre always relevant topics and. Thats one of the reasons why racism is the overriding topic of this exhibition and its not an exhibition full of black and white cliches but one with some genuinely surprising insights for example the sculpture by African American artist barbara chase rethought. Mitchell also addresses other forms of bigotry such as homophobia she illustrates this was work by the artist and gave rights activist david for neuro fiction who died of aids in this photo series from the late 1970 s. The artist photographed his friends wearing a mask of our 2 examples face posing in various locations in new york it hints at a subculture since decimated by aids and gentrification. The exhibition also features feminist art cuban american artist on a mental place with gender roles adorning her own face with her friends snipped off beard. And there is political pop art a colorful protest it was created by cory decant the catholic nun in the u. S. In the 1960 s. Mapping the collection also juxtaposes works dealing with the abusiveness of the white man. With those about womens efforts at selfdetermination and it makes clear that art is best feud within the social and political context of its creation. And context todays artists are working on is of course a Global Pandemic and street artists in particular like the one who made this nero and rio are using art to make light of a tough situation coronavirus graffiti has been popping up all over the world including here in berlin. All over the world in recent months street artists have given expression to their perspectives on the coronavirus pandemic some of the sorely needed dash of humor others with the urgent messages to a weary public. And smell of hockey is one place where the city street artists come together here they create one corona inspired miral after another legally bulky savage and any freaky. Perhaps themselves been infected with the spirit of the times and put their vision on the wall in spite of the lock down. A lot of stuff but theres always a point where you need to get out and throw it on a wall every freethinker can be found a mile apart almost in one of his latest works depicts the sense of gollum from lord of the rings covered with script the sabretooth of a squirrel from the ice age movies stratus making off with a roll of toilet paper did american born artist had already used to using his precious toilet paper in his 1st corona virus which went viral worldwide. Cries of the people like a lot because for me was something that i think. Me myself. For bogey savage the day the lockdown was announced in germany one particular theme kept going through his hand few hours later hed completed his work my corona. This girls nonfinancial minus certain connection his latest work includes the words together especially important in nice uncertain time. On not making any money to go out and by trying to if you can by paying. And you dont know what is going to suffer when its going to end like. This like all the uncertainty and play with your head up but now hope ok savage an emmy freethinker are getting together for their 1st collaborative neuro inspired by the coronavirus while keeping the required distance and Wearing Masks which they wore before the pandemic to. The Coronavirus Crisis may separate people physically but it can bring them together emotionally hardly anyone here wants to stay home alone. Treat artists like any free thinker and funky savage abuse for urban spaces. As for their gallery their medium of communication they interpret themes of social relevance but also express personal experiences and thats what the public here in the park appreciates. Its natural to more than normal and even expectable that people go out again also in the summer. Try to express themselves and so whats in michigan i think its actually pretty brilliant and especially if you take it all with a little humor then youll get through the crisis a bit better its great. Nobody can now deny that covert 1000 house and will continue to affect the world often in profoundly negative ways but what street artists are currently turning out is thought provoking in often positive ways and maybe even a bit encouraging.
