☆ An artist who appeared nude in a Marina Abramović piece sues MoMA, alleging it failed to protect him from sexual assault
  + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Scottie Andrew | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —An artist who appeared nude in a highly publicized piece by famed performance artist Marina Abramović is suing New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) after he said he was sexually assaulted during the 2010 event. In the lawsuit obtained by CNN, New York artist John Bonafede claims MoMA didn’t do enough to protect him and fellow nude artists from assault. “Imponderabilia” was one part of “The Artist is Present,” a larger MoMA exhibition celebrating Abramović’s storied career. Several “Imponderabilia” performers reported being groped during the 2010 exhibit. Abramović’s “Imponderabilia” was originally staged in 1977 at the Galleria Communale d’Arte Moderna, in Bologna, Italy, with Abramović and her former partner, the late German performance artist Ulay.

In 1974, while it was being exhibited in Tokyo, a woman sprayed the Mona Lisa with red paint, the New York Times reported.

CNN —The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute has revealed details of its 2024 spring exhibition, which serves as the inspiration for the theme of the accompanying Met Gala. “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” will be presented at the Costume Institute in New York from May 10 through September 2, 2024, pulling rare “masterworks” from the Institute’s archive for museumgoers to experience in a new, imaginative way, according to a press release.

☆ The face of Juanita, the ‘Ice Maiden’ mummy, has been revealed

Reinhard and Zarate spotted a bundle of cloth, and lifting it, they found themselves looking into the Ice Maiden’s face. Studies have revealed that Juanita was a healthy girl between 13 and 15 when she died from a blow to the head. Nilsson used tissue depth markers based on the measurements of her skull to envision the proportions of her face, which included high cheekbones. Tissue depth markers and CT scans helped Oscar Nilsson reconstruct the Ice Maiden's face. For the researchers who have spent years studying Juanita, the arduous process to bring her back to life was worth it.

☆ 3,500-year-old ancient Egyptian mummification balm aroma recreated
  + stars: | 2023-08-31 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
CNN —Scientists have decoded an ancient aroma by identifying the ingredients used in Egyptian mummification balms — and resurrected the scent. The exact recipes used in the mummification have long been debated because ancient Egyptian texts don’t name precise ingredients. The new findings suggest that the relatively complex balms used in Senetnay’s preservation may have been the beginning of a trend of more elaborate ones used later on. Dammar resin, an ingredient used in embalming, appears next to a bottle of the recreated ancient scent. “The scent of eternal life” will be part of an ancient Egyptian exhibit at the Danish museum that opens in October.

☆ Luxury-apartment residents who had 'hundreds of thousands' of people peering through their windows each year win court case
  + stars: | 2023-02-03 | by ( Isobel Van Hagen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Residents at NEO Bankside — a luxury-apartment complex with large glass windows beside the art museum — argued that "hundreds of thousands of spectators each year" are able to peer into their homes. The viewing deck at the Tate Modern galleryoffers 36 degree views of London. On Wednesday, however, Leggatt ruled that the Tate's viewing terrace was a "straightforward case of nuisance" for those who brought the case. Luxury flats are seen from the terrace at the Tate Modern gallery in London in 2020. While the terrace is now "temporarily closed to the public," the case will return to the country's high court to reach a solution between the Tate Modern and residents.
