Reconnecting with Haring s Grace House Mural (in 13 pieces)
A figure from Keith Harings mural from the Grace House in New York now in an exhibit Keith Haring: Grace House Mural, at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver. The owner offered to loan the work to the museum, and its director agreed. In Denver, original works by the artist, who died of AIDS in 1990 at age 31, are rare. Wes Magyar via The New York Times.

.- The exhibit Keith Haring: Grace House Mural may not add up to the happy ending the Keith Haring Foundation envisioned for the sprawling 85-foot-long masterpiece the artist painted nearly four decades ago at a Manhattan youth center.

When historic houses go on the market, it’s a chance to take stock of and, if we’re lucky, get a look inside some of Denver’s best buildings.
It’s also an opportunity to recognize how the rules around architectural preservation work to keep crucial, civic structures from being razed or ruined in a time when urban development is off the rails.
That’s the case for the Holland House, one of the more interesting, if lesser-known, dwellings on the city’s list of important landmarks. The house, at 2340 S. Josephine St., is among a number of early 20th century treasures that make University Park one of Denver’s most design-rich, residential neighborhoods.
The New York premiere of The Whale played at Playwrights Horizons in 2012.
On the outskirts of Mormon Country, Idaho, a six-hundred pound recluse (Mr. Hensley) hides away in his apartment eating himself to death. Desperate to reconnect with his long-estranged daughter, he reaches out to her, only to find a viciously sharp-tongued and wildly unhappy teen. Big-hearted and fiercely funny, The Whale tells the story of a man s last chance at redemption, and of finding beauty in the most unexpected places.
Writing in The Denver Post on the World Premiere of The Whale at Denver Center Theatre in January, Ray Mark Rinaldi called it, A rich night of theater. Very much a play of today and audiences ready to engage the times should understand its rewards.
