Also successfully taken place the summer opera is back on stage but outdoors like last week in naples with soprano on another trip coming tosca the orchestra members were seated far apart and there was no stage set. In for rona to the approach was less 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 produce street we are back. Into history but outdoor concerts arent an option for the winter months so organizers have to come up with other solutions at cons the audience sits and clicks a glass compartments. In a pilot performance at londons palladium theater they blocked off entire rows of seats and audience members were required to wear masks but that isnt a long Term Solution its just not 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 with to help guide us through now melissa we just saw a bit even Andrew Lloyd Webber says 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 plexiglas its between us now. It all costs 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 evening they were seeing some wonderful pictures from the opera a lecture from side work yesterday i mean they have invested a great deal of money into that into the measures that theyve taken but even then even the austrians with all that cash thanks say that they cannot keep doing this they cant keep doing this year after year now im wondering so it sounds like this is not this is not necessarily the way forward this is a kind of a show of how one could do it but even for the musicians you know for years musicians havent been able to rely on album sales and streaming happened a lot of them rely on concert sales how are they surviving well the have to come up with new ideas dont know 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 were 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 they 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 london Alexandra Palace last month the broadcast we treated like a live image in 5 didnt and you couldnt watch them after july the 23rd. Ok Melissa Holroyd are going to have to review their that stuff 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 close museum loot vague invited Research FellowJanice 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. You really must be paranoid and never had an experience like that then for some free ones for you. 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. 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 africanamerican artist barbara chase rethought. Mitchell also addresses other forms of bigotry such as homophobia she illustrates this with work by the artist and gay rights activist david 4 in a row over who died of aids in this photo series from the late 1970 s. The artist photographed his friends wearing a mask of are 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 theres political pop art a colorful protest it was created by corridor cant 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. In 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 medical 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 with a sword they need a dash of humor others with the urgent messages to 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. Savage and any freight. In turn have 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 know you need to get out and do it on a wall any freethinker can be found it almost in one of his latest works steve sets of gollum from lord of the rings together with a script the sabretooth of squirrel from the icy chill of the scrappiness making off with a roll of toilet paper dominican born artist had already used to using his precious toilet paper in his 1st coronavirus which went viral worldwide.

On not making any money to go out and buy if you can buy paint. You dont know what is going to sound one is going to end like this is like all the uncertainty and those play with it but now bulky savage an emmy freethinker are getting together for their 1st collaborative miro inspired by the coronavirus while keeping the required distance and Wearing Masks which they wore before the pandemic to paint. The Coronavirus Crisis may separate people physically but it can bring them together in motion early hardly anyone here wants to stay home alone. Treat artists like him a free thinker and funky savage abuse for bin spaces for their gallery their medium of communication they interpret themes of social relevance but also expressed 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 old especially if you take it all with a little humor that will get through the crisis a bit better and 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 and often positive ways and maybe even a bit encouraging.
