"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"bio": "I was the Senior Digital Producer for KQED Food up until July, 2018. Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

They know those robes are as unpopular as I know those robes are unpopular. … All the Klan members I met who were dressed like that were on their own property or at night by the side of the road.

Based on the irregular handwriting on the chalkboard (which is odd because we all know Rory's handwriting is immaculate), she's schooling these kids on \u003cem>Jane Eyre\u003c/em>. Here's hoping she finds a way to incorporate an anecdote about how, one time, this really hot guy stole her book and wrote in the margins and charmed her into dumping her nice, but kind of dumb and super controlling boyfriend for a whirlwind year of dating that left her with a fractured wrist and a broken heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when Jess will show up really frantic, like he did at her dorm that one time, and profess his love again, but, unlike last time, Rory is down and they reclaim their title as the hottest couple in modern history. Make it so, Amy Sherman-Palladino! Also, I hope Paris poisoned the headmaster and has assumed his position at Chilton.

Based on the irregular handwriting on the chalkboard (which is odd because we all know Rory's handwriting is immaculate), she's schooling these kids on \u003cem>Jane Eyre\u003c/em>. Here's hoping she finds a way to incorporate an anecdote about how, one time, this really hot guy stole her book and wrote in the margins and charmed her into dumping her nice, but kind of dumb and super controlling boyfriend for a whirlwind year of dating that left her with a fractured wrist and a broken heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's when Jess will show up really frantic, like he did at her dorm that one time, and profess his love again, but, unlike last time, Rory is down and they reclaim their title as the hottest couple in modern history.

C.K. unveiled the 10th and final episode this weekend. This is is an odd thing to say when you consider the fact that C.K. released the series via his website without the need of a network, and that \u003cem>Horace and Pete\u003c/em> feels more like a docudrama or an episodic piece of theater than anything I’ve ever witnessed on a small screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, here are three reasons why \u003cem>Horace and Pete\u003c/em> is brilliant:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1.

And it grapples in an explosive but still non-heavy-handed way with the issues of our time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the most thoughtful scenes, for example, presents a side of transgender politics I’ve never given much thought to before: the question of whether it’s ethical for a transgender person to keep silent about their former gender identity to a person they’re sleeping with. Horace, who’s resolutely straight, has a happy one-night stand with a beautiful alcoholic. In the morning over eggs and coffee — well, Horace has coffee; his date Rhonda (played by Karen Pittman) asks for something a little stronger and her gracious host obliges — the conversation takes a left turn when Horace finds out Rhonda used to be a guy. At least, the possibility of a sex change is strongly inferred, though never explicitly stated. As non-judgmental as Horace is about people who make a habit of drinking whiskey before breakfast, he gets flustered and accusatory at the thought he’s somehow been “duped” into a “homosexual” encounter. Fascinating stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbUMqNBO-W8\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbUMqNBO-W8\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. It refuses to conform to tried-and-tested formats.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe series exists in a liminal space at the intersection of TV, theater, documentary and feature film and strikes an unusual balance between the structural and content mores of these formats. Louis C.K. has created what feels like an entirely fresh way to tell a story by carefully weaving together elements from different traditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The series has the cuts and close-ups of a TV serial. It brings in the actualities of the documentary format. And it has the epic, sweeping quality of a movie. The theatricality of the series is what interests me the most though, like C.K.’s penchant for splicing the action with long monologues. My favorite of these is a bonkers-foulmouthed explanation of the famous Biblical story of \u003cem>Sodom and Gomorrah \u003c/em>told by Kurt Metzger playing one of the bar’s regular customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wbfWfwh6HE\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wbfWfwh6HE\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s even an intermission to break up the longer episodes and the entire cast takes a bow at the end of the final show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, and even though \u003cem>Horace and Pete\u003c/em> is the work of one of the funniest comedians around today, there are few opportunities for laughter. Unless you count comedy in the sense of the great cosmic joke of which all humankind is a part. C.K. knows all about that, and with this series captures its essence in a bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. It features some of the most prescient writing and best performances I’ve ever seen in any format. Period.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhat’s masterful about \u003cem>Horace and Pete\u003c/em> is the casting and the writing. It seems like the two are so closely intertwined (viz Metzger’s \u003cem>Sodom\u003c/em> monologue mentioned above, which, judging by the reactions of the other cast members in the scene, strikes me as having been partly or fully improvised) that I need to tackle them both at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blend of standup comedians and dramatic actors is an unusual and powerful one. And each performer brings pathos, shadows and moments of levity to his or her role. I cannot speak highly enough of C.K., Steve Buscemi, and Edie Falco as the bar-owning brothers and their sister. Here we have a trio who show us plenty of fallibility and ugliness while at the same commanding our respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And how tightly wound and carefully controlled the writing feels: C.K. reveals dramatic information to us incrementally, doling out hard-to-digest news about the family’s troubled past in lean teaspoonfuls of strong medicine. Yet despite the economy of the dramaturgy, abetted by the claustrophobic indoor setting of the Brooklyn bar with its flat lighting and ugly furniture, C.K. somehow makes his drama feel airy and spacious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witness the final episode, which begins suddenly and without explanation in 1976. Here, the principal performers whom we’ve grown to know and love in the present-day setting — C. K., Buscemi, Falco — play their forebears. The scenes are without a doubt the nastiest and most suffocating of the whole series. But then we jump forward to 2016, to find Amy Sedaris, in the role of a sweetly unhinged wannabe bartender, lightening things up. When she skips over to the bar’s old jukebox and puts Simon and Garfunkel’s famous song “America,” about a journey to find meaning in a country that’s lost its way, it’s as if a feather duster had temporarily fluffed away all the creepy-crawlies from a cobwebby corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of which, Paul Simon’s ghostly little theme song for the series, with its sparsely-chorded guitar riff and far-off lament of a vocal line, captures the “high lonesome sound” of the great roots musicians that have been singing about this country’s dashed hopes and failures since the dawn of the Republic. The tune, together with this formidable series, leaves us feeling emotionally drained yet strangely complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paul Simon - Louis CK's Horace and Pete theme song\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/yWpYtjil6Js?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It refuses to conform to tried-and-tested formats.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe series exists in a liminal space at the intersection of TV, theater, documentary and feature film and strikes an unusual balance between the structural and content mores of these formats. Louis C.K. has created what feels like an entirely fresh way to tell a story by carefully weaving together elements from different traditions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The series has the cuts and close-ups of a TV serial. It brings in the actualities of the documentary format. And it has the epic, sweeping quality of a movie. The theatricality of the series is what interests me the most though, like C.K.’s penchant for splicing the action with long monologues. My favorite of these is a bonkers-foulmouthed explanation of the famous Biblical story of \u003cem>Sodom and Gomorrah \u003c/em>told by Kurt Metzger playing one of the bar’s regular customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wbfWfwh6HE\">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wbfWfwh6HE\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s even an intermission to break up the longer episodes and the entire cast takes a bow at the end of the final show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oh, and even though \u003cem>Horace and Pete\u003c/em> is the work of one of the funniest comedians around today, there are few opportunities for laughter. Unless you count comedy in the sense of the great cosmic joke of which all humankind is a part. C.K. knows all about that, and with this series captures its essence in a bottle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. It features some of the most prescient writing and best performances I’ve ever seen in any format. Period.\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nWhat’s masterful about \u003cem>Horace and Pete\u003c/em> is the casting and the writing. It seems like the two are so closely intertwined (viz Metzger’s \u003cem>Sodom\u003c/em> monologue mentioned above, which, judging by the reactions of the other cast members in the scene, strikes me as having been partly or fully improvised) that I need to tackle them both at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The blend of standup comedians and dramatic actors is an unusual and powerful one. And each performer brings pathos, shadows and moments of levity to his or her role. I cannot speak highly enough of C.K., Steve Buscemi, and Edie Falco as the bar-owning brothers and their sister. Here we have a trio who show us plenty of fallibility and ugliness while at the same commanding our respect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And how tightly wound and carefully controlled the writing feels: C.K. reveals dramatic information to us incrementally, doling out hard-to-digest news about the family’s troubled past in lean teaspoonfuls of strong medicine. Yet despite the economy of the dramaturgy, abetted by the claustrophobic indoor setting of the Brooklyn bar with its flat lighting and ugly furniture, C.K. somehow makes his drama feel airy and spacious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Witness the final episode, which begins suddenly and without explanation in 1976. Here, the principal performers whom we’ve grown to know and love in the present-day setting — C. K., Buscemi, Falco — play their forebears. The scenes are without a doubt the nastiest and most suffocating of the whole series. But then we jump forward to 2016, to find Amy Sedaris, in the role of a sweetly unhinged wannabe bartender, lightening things up. When she skips over to the bar’s old jukebox and puts Simon and Garfunkel’s famous song “America,” about a journey to find meaning in a country that’s lost its way, it’s as if a feather duster had temporarily fluffed away all the creepy-crawlies from a cobwebby corner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of which, Paul Simon’s ghostly little theme song for the series, with its sparsely-chorded guitar riff and far-off lament of a vocal line, captures the “high lonesome sound” of the great roots musicians that have been singing about this country’s dashed hopes and failures since the dawn of the Republic. The tune, together with this formidable series, leaves us feeling emotionally drained yet strangely complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Lots of sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The very first episode opens with passengers deplaning at Ghana's Kotoka International Airport at dusk. Among them is the show's main character, Nana Yaa, who's returning to \"the continent\" after growing up in New York since age 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dressed in a white tank top, dark denim jeans and a perfectly tailored black jacket perched atop her shoulders, Nana Yaa strides over to the customs agent. But before she has time to take her passport from her designer handbag, he tells her she's in the wrong line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The line for the non-Ghanaians is at the other side,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She pushes her passport through the opening in the bulletproof glass with that \"I told you so\" cock of the head and declares in broken Twi, a local language, \"I \u003cem>am\u003c/em> Ghanaian.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christabel Nsiah-Buadi is a journalist and writer living in Los Angeles who identifies as a British-born Ghanaian. She has watched \u003cem>An African City\u003c/em> and says that airport scene drew her right in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg7hUuWKe2U\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I cracked up because that's exactly what happened to me,\" Nsiah-Buadi says. \"You identify as Ghanaian and someone who you know you look like is saying to you, 'No, no, no, you don't belong in this line, you belong in that line.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nsiah-Buadi explains that these kinds of assumptions, based on how you're dressed or the language you speak, can immediately shatter the romantic illusion of coming back \"home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show's creator, Nicole Amarteifio, who was born in Ghana and raised in New York, says she wrote \u003cem>An African City\u003c/em> for women just like Nsiah-Buadi: Africans who came of age abroad, in the U.S. or Britain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt that they couldn't really relate to Nollywood,\" says Amarteifio, referring to West Africa's film capital, located in Nigeria. \"But there was a lot about Hollywood they could relate to, so that gap between Nollywood and Hollywood, I was trying to fill it for that audience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amarteifio says she hoped to tell a story about Africa that had nothing to do with war, poverty and famine. She wanted to capture the present: a moment when young professionals, like herself, are coming back to start businesses, work for NGOs or as executives for international companies. She holds a bachelor's degree from Brandeis and a master's from Georgetown, and came back to Ghana as a social media strategist for the World Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the way to tell that story — her story — came to her while lounging on her couch in Accra, watching an episode of \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>. \"What would the show be like set in Accra?\" she wondered. \"That would be the way to fight the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story?language=en\">single story\u003c/a>,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>An African City\u003c/em>'s \"Carrie Bradshaw\" is Nana Yaa, a journalist with her own radio show.

The ladies dress fabulously and are always perfectly coiffed and accessorized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're very privileged young women,\" says Nsiah-Buadi, the LA-based fan of the show. \"On that level, that's not realistic, to me anyway. Maybe to someone else, but that's not the life that I live.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nsiah-Buadi says the characters's bourgie ways can irritate her at times, like when they talk down to waiters and manicurists, or blame their missing bras on \"the help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nsiah-Buadi chatted about the show recently with her friend and fellow Ghanaian Essie Blankson-Turner, an entrepreneur living in Los Angeles. Blankson-Turner says overall, the show's good outweighs the bad. \"I like seeing Ghanaian women on the screen, I like the fact that our stories are being told, and I like the fact that I can relate to it in some aspect,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love the fact that they're gorgeous,\" says Nsiah-Buadi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes!\" replies Blankson-Turner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love the fact that they get to wear the most amazing clothes,\" adds Nsiah-Buadi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All the time!\" returns Blankson-Turner, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm literally, like, I want that lipstick, I want those earrings. I mean, even that — how often do we get to do that?\" says Nsiah-Buadi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And both women add: When do you ever get to see African women talk about sex so openly and see them enjoy it on screen?

She wanted to capture the present: a moment when young professionals, like herself, are coming back to start businesses, work for NGOs or as executives for international companies. She holds a bachelor's degree from Brandeis and a master's from Georgetown, and came back to Ghana as a social media strategist for the World Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the way to tell that story — her story — came to her while lounging on her couch in Accra, watching an episode of \u003cem>Sex and the City\u003c/em>. \"What would the show be like set in Accra?\" she wondered. \"That would be the way to fight the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ted.com/talks/chimamanda_adichie_the_danger_of_a_single_story?language=en\">single story\u003c/a>,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>An African City\u003c/em>'s \"Carrie Bradshaw\" is Nana Yaa, a journalist with her own radio show.

They're highly educated and come from families with connections. Nana Yaa's father is the minister of energy in Ghana, and Sade's dad is the pastor of a megachurch in Nigeria. The ladies dress fabulously and are always perfectly coiffed and accessorized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They're very privileged young women,\" says Nsiah-Buadi, the LA-based fan of the show. \"On that level, that's not realistic, to me anyway. Maybe to someone else, but that's not the life that I live.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nsiah-Buadi says the characters's bourgie ways can irritate her at times, like when they talk down to waiters and manicurists, or blame their missing bras on \"the help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nsiah-Buadi chatted about the show recently with her friend and fellow Ghanaian Essie Blankson-Turner, an entrepreneur living in Los Angeles. Blankson-Turner says overall, the show's good outweighs the bad. \"I like seeing Ghanaian women on the screen, I like the fact that our stories are being told, and I like the fact that I can relate to it in some aspect,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love the fact that they're gorgeous,\" says Nsiah-Buadi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yes!\" replies Blankson-Turner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I love the fact that they get to wear the most amazing clothes,\" adds Nsiah-Buadi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All the time!\" returns Blankson-Turner, laughing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm literally, like, I want that lipstick, I want those earrings. I mean, even that — how often do we get to do that?\" says Nsiah-Buadi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And both women add: When do you ever get to see African women talk about sex so openly and see them enjoy it on screen? They told me that's just not acceptable, broadly speaking, in the larger conservative — and predominantly Christian — Ghanaian culture, where you know better than to talk about such things publicly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_21640\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/sade_custom-6c3e8d3470735137189ffbb3d0246c3cf2ddbb61-s800-c85.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21640\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-21640\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2016/03/sade_custom-6c3e8d3470735137189ffbb3d0246c3cf2ddbb61-s800-c85.jpg\" alt=\"Sade of <em>An African City</em> is played by Ghanaian-American actress Nana Mensah.

I'm seeing Kwame later tonight.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sade is played by actress Nana Mensah, whose parents immigrated from Ghana to America's East Coast, where she was raised. Mensah says she loves it when other first-generation women come up to her and say they identify with the show. And she adds that she's heard positive responses to her character, Sade, from both contemporaries and women her mom's age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Somebody even said, 'Can Sade do a spinoff?' \" laughs Mensah. \"Yeah ... that sounds like a lot of work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spinoff is not in\u003cem> An\u003c/em> \u003cem>African City\u003c/em>'s future.

You can buy an online subscription for Season 2, and the show's got licensing deals with networks in Africa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mensah hopes that in future seasons her character, Sade, will stop obsessing over the married men she's bedding and start using that degree from Harvard Business School. \"Get your own man, Sade, come on!\" she says. \"I'm feeling a little bit ready to let that go.

"content": "\u003cp>When you step into the House of Eternal Return, it feels a bit like walking into your family home — and finding yourself lost in a PeeWee’s Playhouse on steroids. Or amphetamines. Or better yet, some undiscovered alien narcotic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Set up in the industrial district of Santa Fe, N.M., the new permanent art exhibition is a far cry from the fine arts galleries and museums for which Santa Fe is known. Think of it instead as a kind of art amusement park, built by an arts collective called Meow Wolf and largely funded by a surprising benefactor: George R.R. Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s start with the tour: When I arrive around 10 the night before the exhibition opens, dozens of Meow Wolf’s 135 artists are scrambling to put the finishing touches on their meticulously crafted installations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those installations, a two-story Victorian house built from scratch, marks the entrance to the exhibition. All around it are uncanny reminders of the Seligs — the fictional family ostensibly lived here. I’m told the family has curiously disappeared after a break in the space-time continuum, and like all visitors, I’m set loose by the artists to explore the interdimensional mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not art that you stand back from and look at,” says Chadney Everett, the painter and former film prop-maker who designed the house. “It’s art that you interact with and you experience in a very visceral way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11444590\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-1180x787.jpg\" alt='\"The Aquarium\", by Matt King — with fish sculpted by Sarah Bradle' width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11444590\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“The Aquarium”, by Matt King — with fish sculpted by Sarah Bradle \u003ccite>(Photo: Lindsey Kennedy/Courtesy of Meow Wolf)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like most of the people I meet here, he’s got a cultlike dedication to Meow Wolf’s vision of immersive, interactive art — and to making it accessible to everyone. Despite suffering from a herniated disk, he’s been putting in 14 hours a day to finish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been really hard, but it’s so worth it. We’re gonna be open in a couple days, and then I’ll rest and fix my spine,” he laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I opt to crawl through the family fireplace into a series of prehistoric caves, with a glowing, 12-foot mastodon skeleton at their center. Sculptor Matt Crimmins turned its rib cage into a radiant makeshift marimba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still trying to work out the kinks, but it’s getting there,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same could be said of Meow Wolf as a whole. Founding member Vince Kadlubek explains that when the collective started eight years ago, it was just a small band of creative 20-somethings who felt out of place in Santa Fe’s high-brow art establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of always felt like we were on the outside looking in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, they started their own DIY venue in a defunct barbershop. As the collective grew in size and popularity, Kadlubek says, their immersive shows grew more elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they still didn’t have a large space of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all knew that it could work, but we just didn’t have the heavy hitter,” Kadlubek says. “We needed somebody to take a risk on us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where George R.R. Martin comes in. The mastermind behind A\u003cem> Song of Ice and Fire\u003c/em> — the massively popular book series that spawned the massively popular \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> TV series — has become something of a latter-day Medici in his adopted hometown of Santa Fe.

Or amphetamines. Or better yet, some undiscovered alien narcotic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Set up in the industrial district of Santa Fe, N.M., the new permanent art exhibition is a far cry from the fine arts galleries and museums for which Santa Fe is known. Think of it instead as a kind of art amusement park, built by an arts collective called Meow Wolf and largely funded by a surprising benefactor: George R.R. Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s start with the tour: When I arrive around 10 the night before the exhibition opens, dozens of Meow Wolf’s 135 artists are scrambling to put the finishing touches on their meticulously crafted installations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those installations, a two-story Victorian house built from scratch, marks the entrance to the exhibition. All around it are uncanny reminders of the Seligs — the fictional family ostensibly lived here. I’m told the family has curiously disappeared after a break in the space-time continuum, and like all visitors, I’m set loose by the artists to explore the interdimensional mystery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not art that you stand back from and look at,” says Chadney Everett, the painter and former film prop-maker who designed the house. “It’s art that you interact with and you experience in a very visceral way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11444590\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-1180x787.jpg\" alt='\"The Aquarium\", by Matt King — with fish sculpted by Sarah Bradle' width=\"640\" height=\"427\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11444590\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-400x267.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/03/lkimg_16532_slide-392abba3bf84b41efcea84438f22cc0bf2bffc67-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“The Aquarium”, by Matt King — with fish sculpted by Sarah Bradle \u003ccite>(Photo: Lindsey Kennedy/Courtesy of Meow Wolf)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like most of the people I meet here, he’s got a cultlike dedication to Meow Wolf’s vision of immersive, interactive art — and to making it accessible to everyone.

We’re gonna be open in a couple days, and then I’ll rest and fix my spine,” he laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I opt to crawl through the family fireplace into a series of prehistoric caves, with a glowing, 12-foot mastodon skeleton at their center. Sculptor Matt Crimmins turned its rib cage into a radiant makeshift marimba.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re still trying to work out the kinks, but it’s getting there,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The same could be said of Meow Wolf as a whole. Founding member Vince Kadlubek explains that when the collective started eight years ago, it was just a small band of creative 20-somethings who felt out of place in Santa Fe’s high-brow art establishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kind of always felt like we were on the outside looking in.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, they started their own DIY venue in a defunct barbershop. As the collective grew in size and popularity, Kadlubek says, their immersive shows grew more elaborate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they still didn’t have a large space of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all knew that it could work, but we just didn’t have the heavy hitter,” Kadlubek says. “We needed somebody to take a risk on us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s where George R.R. Martin comes in. The mastermind behind A\u003cem> Song of Ice and Fire\u003c/em> — the massively popular book series that spawned the massively popular \u003cem>Game of Thrones\u003c/em> TV series — has become something of a latter-day Medici in his adopted hometown of Santa Fe. He has already reopened an old art house movie theater and converted a vacant high school into artist studios.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin didn’t plan on buying an old bowling alley — but when Meow Wolf showed him the space and told him what they planned to do with it, he couldn’t resist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They explained this vision of a Victorian house, unmoored in time and space with a haunted forest and a magical cave system, and portals to other worlds,” Martin says. “And of course, it pushed all my buttons.

"content": "\u003cp>Garry Shandling, who as an actor and comedian pioneered a pretend brand of self-focused docudrama with \u003cem>the Larry Sanders Show\u003c/em>, has died of an apparent heart attack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shandling’s spokesman Alan Nierob said doctors at a hospital where the comedian was pronounced dead said it appeared he died of a heart attack. Nierob said Shandling had no history of heart trouble.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coroner’s Lt. David Smith said it appeared Shandling died of natural causes, but an official cause of death determination had not yet been made. Smith said no autopsy was planned, but officials would determine Shandling’s cause of death based on medical records and his medical history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shandling was taken to a hospital after paramedics were dispatched to his Brentwood home around 10:40 a.m. Thursday, police and fire officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His death stunned the comedy community, who praised Shandling’s humor, kindness and efforts to support and promote them and their craft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An innovative and eccentric humorist with pillowy lips and a voice that always seemed on the verge of a whine, Shandling claimed to disdain too much logic cluttering his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The answer isn’t gonna be in the facts,” he told The Associated Press in 2009. “It’s gonna be in intuition. That’s how I work creatively. I’m always teaching people that the answer to that creative question is right here, in the room, between us here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More to the point, it was dealing with the questions he confronted in himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born on Nov. 29, 1949 in Chicago, Shandling was raised in Tucson, Arizona. On arriving in Los Angeles as a young adult, it was a short hop from a brief stint in the advertising business to comedy writing and stand-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in the 1980s, he began to experiment with TV comedy, and to toy with the sitcom form, with his first series, \u003ci>It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,\u003c/i> a Showtime project that made no bones about its inherently artificial nature: The actors in this otherwise standard domestic comedy routinely broke the fourth wall to comment on what they were up to. Even the theme song began with the explanatory lyrics, “The theme to Garry’s show….”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1992, he created his comic masterpiece with \u003cem>The Larry Sanders Show\u003c/em>, which starred him as an egomaniacal late-night TV host with an anxiety-ridden show-biz life behind the scenes. The show help start the careers of Judd Apatow (\u003ci>Freaks and Geeks\u003c/i>, \u003ci>40-Year-Old Virgin\u003c/i>) Jeffrey Tambor (\u003ci>Arrested Development,\u003c/i> \u003ci>Transparent\u003c/i>) and Jeremy Piven (\u003ci>Entourage\u003c/i>). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was just three months after Johnny Carson had retired from “The Tonight Show,” where Shandling had appeared as a stand-up and occasional Carson stand-in. It seemed a wry but deeply felt homage to the King of Late Night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was more. “Larry Sanders” proved to be an act of courage, a brave effort led by someone portraying a character dangerously close to himself.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An innovative and eccentric humorist with pillowy lips and a voice that always seemed on the verge of a whine, Shandling claimed to disdain too much logic cluttering his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The answer isn’t gonna be in the facts,” he told The Associated Press in 2009. “It’s gonna be in intuition. That’s how I work creatively. I’m always teaching people that the answer to that creative question is right here, in the room, between us here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More to the point, it was dealing with the questions he confronted in himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born on Nov. 29, 1949 in Chicago, Shandling was raised in Tucson, Arizona. On arriving in Los Angeles as a young adult, it was a short hop from a brief stint in the advertising business to comedy writing and stand-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in the 1980s, he began to experiment with TV comedy, and to toy with the sitcom form, with his first series, \u003ci>It’s Garry Shandling’s Show,\u003c/i> a Showtime project that made no bones about its inherently artificial nature: The actors in this otherwise standard domestic comedy routinely broke the fourth wall to comment on what they were up to. Even the theme song began with the explanatory lyrics, “The theme to Garry’s show….”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1992, he created his comic masterpiece with \u003cem>The Larry Sanders Show\u003c/em>, which starred him as an egomaniacal late-night TV host with an anxiety-ridden show-biz life behind the scenes. The show help start the careers of Judd Apatow (\u003ci>Freaks and Geeks\u003c/i>, \u003ci>40-Year-Old Virgin\u003c/i>) Jeffrey Tambor (\u003ci>Arrested Development,\u003c/i> \u003ci>Transparent\u003c/i>) and Jeremy Piven (\u003ci>Entourage\u003c/i>). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was just three months after Johnny Carson had retired from “The Tonight Show,” where Shandling had appeared as a stand-up and occasional Carson stand-in. It seemed a wry but deeply felt homage to the King of Late Night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was more. “Larry Sanders” proved to be an act of courage, a brave effort led by someone portraying a character dangerously close to himself. As Larry, Garry dug deep to confront his own demons, and did it brilliantly as the series teetered between dual realities: public and private; make-believe and painfully true.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Real-life celebrities appeared as guests on Larry’s show-within-the-show, and also interacted with him “off the air.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Duchovny, agreeing to come on the show, also came on to Larry romantically once he got the chance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jim Carrey delivered a rip-roaring comic tribute to his host on the final broadcast, then, during a commercial break, turned on him in rage over a long-ago slight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you doing a bit, now?” asked Larry, perplexed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re OFF the air,” Carrey hissed. “This is real life now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The show explored the fuzzy distinction between TV life and real life, and the loneliness of someone at its crossing.
