"headTitle": "KQED Pop | KQED Arts",
"content": "\u003cp>Last month, Miley Cyrus took to the stage at England's Glastonbury Festival and belted out a cover of Amy Winehouse's \"Back to Black.\" It felt appropriate given that Cyrus was sharing the stage that day with Mark Ronson—the man who produced the original track for Winehouse, as well as the album that spawned it. Miley's rendition was a fist-in-the-air take on what the BBC recently referred to as \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20190709-back-to-black-the-millennial-i-will-survive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the millennial 'I Will Survive'\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bM4CnFG74A\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was impossible not to notice how far removed this version was from the original. In Amy's hands, \"Back To Black\" was agonizing to the point of being an audible ache. In Miley's, it was merely a defiant singalong. It was a sad reminder that, though she only died eight years ago, the gulf created by Amy Winehouse's absence is still so enormous, it actually feels like she's been gone for much longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='pop_17172']Part of the reason for that is just how impossible it is to keep Amy's spirit alive. All of the things that made her such a compelling performer and human were perfectly intangible, and simply cannot be replicated. Still people can't stop trying. Since she died, there have been endless \u003ca href=\"https://www.kathmanduandbeyond.com/amy-winehouse-street-art-trail-camden-london/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">murals\u003c/a>, biographies, \u003ca href=\"http://www.becomingamy.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tribute acts\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.etsy.com/search?q=Amy%20winehouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">merch\u003c/a> items and \u003ca href=\"https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/amy-winehouse-foundation-plots-back-to-black-covers-contest-115330/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">covers competitions\u003c/a>. None of which have come even vaguely close to capturing the detonative clash of raw sensitivity and streetsmart wise-assery that Amy barreled through life with. Eulogies have a tendency to gloss over people's sharpest, most uncomfortable edges, and pop culture loves to paint stars who died young in only the most tragic of lights. Amy Winehouse is dealing with both in equal measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is not the first legend this has happened to. Eventually, all musicians who die too soon fall prey to the public's desire to mythologize them, but the process reduces them to their most memorable selves; shells devoid of the complexities that made them great in the first place. What we're left with is Jimi Hendrix \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZot7BBzgog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kneeling before a flaming guitar\u003c/a>; \u003ca href=\"https://i.pinimg.com/originals/78/bb/ee/78bbee2743df71821fb202bffec83bfe.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kurt Cobain in blue flannel\u003c/a>, crying at the side of the stage; \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2107768_2107767_2107761,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Lennon, naked\u003c/a> and fetal, clinging to Yoko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguably, Amy has been reduced to bare essentials at a faster pace than her predecessors, probably thanks in part to the fact that she was a Halloween costume before she even died. The tattoos and the eyeliner and that stack of beehive hair piled onto too frail a body—Amy hid behind these things in life, and they are concealing her in death too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, on what should have been Amy's 31st birthday, a bronze statue in Amy's honor was unveiled in her North London neighborhood of Camden. The likeness was good and the hair flower was real, but, by its very nature, it reduced Amy to her physical signifiers—which in a larger sense, is about the biggest disservice we could do her. One couldn't help but feel that Amy herself—self-deprecating and lacking entirely in airs and graces—might have found the whole thing somewhat preposterous. One of the funniest things about interviews with Amy was her\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5Dqa_K6blg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> inability to suffer fools and sycophants\u003c/a>. This statue is a magnet for both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_112755\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-112755 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-800x541.jpg\" alt=\"Camden's Amy Winehouse statue.\" width=\"800\" height=\"541\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-800x541.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-160x108.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-768x520.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-1020x690.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-1200x812.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218-1920x1299.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/07/GettyImages-455478218.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Camden's Amy Winehouse statue. \u003ccite>(CYRIL VILLEMAIN/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Ironically, our memories of Amy have also been muddied by the Winehouse family themselves, in their repeated attempts to tell their own versions of her story. An exhibition her brother Alex put together, \u003ca href=\"https://www.thecjm.org/exhibitions/16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait\u003c/i>\u003c/a>, featuring a collection of Amy's personal effects, toured the world, appearing at San Francisco's Contemporary Jewish Museum in 2015. Her father Mitch released a book titled \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Amy-My-Daughter-Mitch-Winehouse/dp/006219142X/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=mitch+winehouse&qid=1562794613&s=gateway&sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003ci>My Daughter, Amy\u003c/i>\u003c/a> in 2013.

The film distinguished itself by pulling zero punches, effectively documenting both the majesty of Winehouse at work, and the horrifying consequences of her most self-destructive impulses.

In one now-infamous moment, Mitch brings a TV crew to Saint Lucia even though his daughter is trying to recover outside of the spotlight.

He came with cameras and audio guys.\" After the movie's release, Mitch Winehouse insisted that this depiction of him was \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/may/01/mitch-winehouse-interview-amy-documentary-film\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">misleading\u003c/a>.\" But it's hard not to recall it every time he makes yet another public appearance to talk about Amy or endorse something related to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheer number of people who have produced tributes to Amy Winehouse in the last eight years speaks volumes about how much she's still missed, and how much money can still be made from her. Probably, Amy would be best served posthumously if the world simply followed the instructions she left us. She told journalists repeatedly throughout her life that she would like everyone to just focus on her songs.

Miley's rendition was a fist-in-the-air take on what the BBC recently referred to as \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/culture/story/20190709-back-to-black-the-millennial-i-will-survive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the millennial 'I Will Survive'\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/_bM4CnFG74A'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/_bM4CnFG74A'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>It was impossible not to notice how far removed this version was from the original. In Amy's hands, \"Back To Black\" was agonizing to the point of being an audible ache. In Miley's, it was merely a defiant singalong. It was a sad reminder that, though she only died eight years ago, the gulf created by Amy Winehouse's absence is still so enormous, it actually feels like she's been gone for much longer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

All of the things that made her such a compelling performer and human were perfectly intangible, and simply cannot be replicated. Still people can't stop trying. Since she died, there have been endless \u003ca href=\"https://www.kathmanduandbeyond.com/amy-winehouse-street-art-trail-camden-london/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">murals\u003c/a>, biographies, \u003ca href=\"http://www.becomingamy.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tribute acts\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.etsy.com/search?q=Amy%20winehouse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">merch\u003c/a> items and \u003ca href=\"https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/amy-winehouse-foundation-plots-back-to-black-covers-contest-115330/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">covers competitions\u003c/a>. None of which have come even vaguely close to capturing the detonative clash of raw sensitivity and streetsmart wise-assery that Amy barreled through life with. Eulogies have a tendency to gloss over people's sharpest, most uncomfortable edges, and pop culture loves to paint stars who died young in only the most tragic of lights. Amy Winehouse is dealing with both in equal measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is not the first legend this has happened to. Eventually, all musicians who die too soon fall prey to the public's desire to mythologize them, but the process reduces them to their most memorable selves; shells devoid of the complexities that made them great in the first place. What we're left with is Jimi Hendrix \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZot7BBzgog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">kneeling before a flaming guitar\u003c/a>; \u003ca href=\"https://i.pinimg.com/originals/78/bb/ee/78bbee2743df71821fb202bffec83bfe.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kurt Cobain in blue flannel\u003c/a>, crying at the side of the stage; \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2107768_2107767_2107761,00.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Lennon, naked\u003c/a> and fetal, clinging to Yoko.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The tattoos and the eyeliner and that stack of beehive hair piled onto too frail a body—Amy hid behind these things in life, and they are concealing her in death too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, on what should have been Amy's 31st birthday, a bronze statue in Amy's honor was unveiled in her North London neighborhood of Camden. The likeness was good and the hair flower was real, but, by its very nature, it reduced Amy to her physical signifiers—which in a larger sense, is about the biggest disservice we could do her. One couldn't help but feel that Amy herself—self-deprecating and lacking entirely in airs and graces—might have found the whole thing somewhat preposterous. One of the funniest things about interviews with Amy was her\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5Dqa_K6blg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> inability to suffer fools and sycophants\u003c/a>.

"content": "\u003cp>When CBS All Access unveiled its new version of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone\u003c/em> earlier this year, the general consensus was that the initial episodes in the new series had \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/29/707977719/new-twilight-zone-reboot-pales-in-comparison-to-the-original\">fallen short\u003c/a> of Rod Serling's original version. Not only were they unworthy of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone\u003c/em> of old, but they also weren't nearly as good, or as smart, as a show that had begun in England in 2011,\u003cem> Black Mirror.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watching \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>'s three brand-new installments on Netflix makes it clear that the series, in our current TV universe, claims and holds the fantasy anthology series crown. Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones head the team behind this show, which uses the technology of today—and the possible technology of tomorrow—to frame, inform or drive its stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker wrote all three of these new episodes, and their scope is as wide as their impact is deep. One story is about a pop star whose personality is marketed in an Alexa-style computer figurine. Another is about a driver for an Uber-type company who blames a social media company for his personal tragedy. And a third—the most haunting and daring of the three—is about two buddies who try out a new, virtual reality version of a favorite hand-to-hand combat video game they played some 10 years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video game episode is titled \"Striking Vipers,\" after the new VR game, and it's my favorite of the three, because I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I was pretty sure I knew where this episode was going once the two characters dove into their game, but I was so wrong—and the larger questions that began being posed were so challenging—that I ended up being as blown away by the ideas as by the truly dazzling special effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bVik34nWws\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's not to slight the other new episodes, by the way. Each of them creates a new world, introduces new characters and sets in motion a story that ultimately goes deep in very uncharted territory. The episode called \"Smithereens\" stars Andrew Scott—the sexy priest \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/16/723961358/fleabag-returns-for-a-raunchy-2nd-season-and-quits-while-it-s-ahead\">in the new season of\u003c/a> Amazon's \u003cem>Fleabag\u003c/em>—as a hired driver who kidnaps a passenger. That passenger is played by Damson Idris—who, oddly enough, also appears in the new \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em> series. In that show's time-loop episode, called \"Replay,\" he plays a student heading for college who is confronted by one dangerous situation after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em> episode titled \"Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too\" stars Miley Cyrus as a pink-wigged pop star whose manipulative manager has found a new way to exploit her using a tiny new high-tech toy called Ashley Too. The toy, which is part artificial intelligence, part talking-and-dancing action figure, is aimed at teenage fans. And it clearly hits the target when a young girl named Rachel (Angourie Rice) gets Ashley Too as a gift, and turns it on with a voice command.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans of the original \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em> may be flashing back to the spooky \"Living Doll\" episode, in which a talking doll named Talky Tina ended up terrorizing Telly Savalas—and jumpstarting a generation of \u003cem>Chucky \u003c/em>movies. But once again, \u003cem>Black Mirror \u003c/em>is interested in going somewhere new. By the end, not only do we get a strong performance from Cyrus—but we also get to consider some very intriguing questions about the nature of celebrity, and the limits and expectations of fandom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notice that I've said almost nothing about what actually happens in these new episodes. That's because originality and uncertainty and unpredictability aren't just ingredients in the \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em> stew. They \u003cem>are \u003c/em>the stew. And to experience just how good, and how different, this anthology series is—and has been, from the very start—you just have to sample it for yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 Fresh Air.

Not only were they unworthy of \u003cem>The Twilight Zone\u003c/em> of old, but they also weren't nearly as good, or as smart, as a show that had begun in England in 2011,\u003cem> Black Mirror.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Watching \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>'s three brand-new installments on Netflix makes it clear that the series, in our current TV universe, claims and holds the fantasy anthology series crown. Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones head the team behind this show, which uses the technology of today—and the possible technology of tomorrow—to frame, inform or drive its stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooker wrote all three of these new episodes, and their scope is as wide as their impact is deep. One story is about a pop star whose personality is marketed in an Alexa-style computer figurine. Another is about a driver for an Uber-type company who blames a social media company for his personal tragedy. And a third—the most haunting and daring of the three—is about two buddies who try out a new, virtual reality version of a favorite hand-to-hand combat video game they played some 10 years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video game episode is titled \"Striking Vipers,\" after the new VR game, and it's my favorite of the three, because I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. I was pretty sure I knew where this episode was going once the two characters dove into their game, but I was so wrong—and the larger questions that began being posed were so challenging—that I ended up being as blown away by the ideas as by the truly dazzling special effects.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/2bVik34nWws'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/2bVik34nWws'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Each of them creates a new world, introduces new characters and sets in motion a story that ultimately goes deep in very uncharted territory. The episode called \"Smithereens\" stars Andrew Scott—the sexy priest \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/16/723961358/fleabag-returns-for-a-raunchy-2nd-season-and-quits-while-it-s-ahead\">in the new season of\u003c/a> Amazon's \u003cem>Fleabag\u003c/em>—as a hired driver who kidnaps a passenger. That passenger is played by Damson Idris—who, oddly enough, also appears in the new \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em> series. In that show's time-loop episode, called \"Replay,\" he plays a student heading for college who is confronted by one dangerous situation after another.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em> episode titled \"Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too\" stars Miley Cyrus as a pink-wigged pop star whose manipulative manager has found a new way to exploit her using a tiny new high-tech toy called Ashley Too. The toy, which is part artificial intelligence, part talking-and-dancing action figure, is aimed at teenage fans. And it clearly hits the target when a young girl named Rachel (Angourie Rice) gets Ashley Too as a gift, and turns it on with a voice command.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans of the original \u003cem>Twilight Zone\u003c/em> may be flashing back to the spooky \"Living Doll\" episode, in which a talking doll named Talky Tina ended up terrorizing Telly Savalas—and jumpstarting a generation of \u003cem>Chucky \u003c/em>movies. But once again, \u003cem>Black Mirror \u003c/em>is interested in going somewhere new. By the end, not only do we get a strong performance from Cyrus—but we also get to consider some very intriguing questions about the nature of celebrity, and the limits and expectations of fandom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notice that I've said almost nothing about what actually happens in these new episodes. That's because originality and uncertainty and unpredictability aren't just ingredients in the \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em> stew. They \u003cem>are \u003c/em>the stew. And to experience just how good, and how different, this anthology series is—and has been, from the very start—you just have to sample it for yourself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 Fresh Air.

Kolage, came up with the graffiti name \"Twerk\" for Hatfield in 1990. Jason had already experimented with varying combinations of letters and had generated a list of names that started with \"Tw.\" Twine, Twerp, Twirk, Twurq were some early iterations.

Hardly a week went by without a controversy -- butchering her hair, dropping Molly and marijuana references, twerking on live TV, NSFW fashion shoots -- each one making plain that Miley is not your tween role model anymore. We may dismiss her viewer provocation, exploitation of sexuality, and self-destructive tendencies as headline-grabbing antics, but perhaps there's more going on here. Similar tactics have been used by contemporary artist Marina Abramovic, the \"grandmother of performance art.\" Marina also had a stellar 2013, founding a performance art institute, starring in an opera about her death, writing James Franco's biography, and most famously, inspiring \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMG2oNqBy-Y\">Jay-Z's recent video for \"Picasso Baby.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your reaction is \"Marina who?\" then here's a brief introduction. Marina Abramovic made a name for herself in the anarchic heyday of Performance Art in the 1970s as an ultra-serious zealot. Performances such as her seminal \u003cem>Rhythm\u003c/em> series were notorious for the dangerous circumstances she devised, and her endurance of self-imposed penances. In her legendary work \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/71952791\" target=\"_blank\">Rhythm 0\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003cem> \u003c/em>(1974), Marina offered spectators the opportunity to pleasure or harm her naked body with a myriad of objects ranging from a feather to a loaded gun, which audience members proceeded to do. Fast forward to 2010: for \u003cem>The Artist is Present\u003c/em>, a work staged at the MoMA in conjunction with a career survey and \u003ca href=\"http://marinafilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\">documented by HBO\u003c/a>, Marina silently locked eyes, one at a time, with hundreds of thousands of spectators queued up over three months (736 hours total).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marina is taking advantage of her fame while making a significant shift in her career with some high-profile celebrity collaborations. On the heels of her MoMA show, Marina has found her brand in demand by Lady Gaga, James Franco, and Jay-Z. For his \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMG2oNqBy-Y\" target=\"_blank\">Picasso Baby\" music video\u003c/a>, Jay-Z reinterpreted Marina's \u003cem>The Artist Is Present\u003c/em> at Pace Gallery, featuring himself as the Artist, rapping and strutting, and casting Marina as one of many reveling VIP participants. \"Picasso Baby\" is subtitled \"A Performance Art Video,\" but is it performance art, a music video, a hybrid?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caught off guard, viewers often don't know what to make of these new hybrids. (Critic Jerry Saltz, who was in attendance, \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2013/07/jerry-saltz-face-to-face-with-jay-z.html\" target=\"_blank\">went in skeptical and left \"elated\"\u003c/a>.) When artists long for celebrity fame and pop stars flaunt Art World cred, traditionally separate frameworks of interpretation break down and merge together. The Art World badge gives an aura of seriousness to celebrity bearers, but perhaps it's not necessary anymore, if the boundary between the two worlds is so porous. Perhaps we can stretch out this broad hybridized pop/art framework a bit further, to reevaluate work lacking that aura of seriousness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10937\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 737px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/05/miley-abramovic-the-artist-came-in-like-a-wrecking-ball/mm_crying/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10937\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10937 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_crying-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"m&m_crying\" width=\"737\" height=\"369\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Stephen Shearer; \u003cem>Happy Christmas\u003c/em> by Marina Abramovic and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8\">still from \"Wrecking Ball,\" directed by Terry Richardson\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2013/sep/10/miley-cyrus-wrecking-ball\" target=\"_blank\">\"Wrecking Ball\"\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2013/sep/10/miley-cyrus-wrecking-ball\" target=\"_blank\">is the centerpiece of Miley's campaign\u003c/a> to reinvent herself. The video has been written off by some critics for its overt raunchiness, but let's ignore that bias and consider the work from a different perspective. When compared to Marina's \u003cem>Rhythm\u003c/em> series (specifically \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em>), some interesting parallels emerge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The basic elements of \"Wrecking Ball\" -- a nude female, some dangerous tools, and a set built for us to see destroyed -- comprise a \u003cem>mise-en-scène\u003c/em> reminiscent of Marina's \u003cem>Rhythm\u003c/em> series. The action takes place in a bare, minimalist cinder block room -- a kind of \"white cube\" gallery space -- decorated and atmospherically hardened by icons of hands-on demolition, a sledge hammer, a wrecking ball, and concrete detritus. Marina's \u003cem>Rhythm\u003c/em> series turned the gallery space into a variety of dangerous environments, experimenting with different kinds of threats: environmental (such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/artwork/5190\" target=\"_blank\">the burning star of \u003cem>Rhythm 5\u003c/em>,\u003c/a> inside of which Marina nearly asphyxiated); social (the audience of \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em>); self-destructive (\u003ca href=\"http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2010/03/24/listening-to-marina-abramovic-rhythm-10\" target=\"_blank\">cutting herself with a knife in \u003cem>Rhythm 10\u003c/em>\u003c/a>). \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em> in particular is notable for its use of conventional tools appropriated as weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10970\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 765px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/05/miley-abramovic-the-artist-came-in-like-a-wrecking-ball/mm_show3-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10970\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10970 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31.jpg\" alt=\"m&m_show3\" width=\"765\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31.jpg 956w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31-400x200.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31-800x400.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Stephen Shearer; \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8\">still from \"Wrecking Ball,\" directed by Terry Richardson\u003c/a> and \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em> (1974) by Marina Abramovic\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Miley appears scantily dressed or completely nude in a variety of vignettes: getting friendly with a sledgehammer, bareback riding a wrecking ball, walking toward the viewer during the demolition, or writhing on the rubble. Performing nude is a familiar trope of Marina's: a challenge to perceptions of vulnerability. That same purpose is narratively served for Miley. Her nudity is part of her power over us, to whom she was previously victim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the sexual innuendo of her performance, Miley spins the tale of our breakup to us, with a gaze punctuated by tears. As the wrecking ball slams into cinder block, bringing down the walls, Miley walks toward us in a seductive confrontation. We wrecked her, and now she wrecks us. In \u003cem>Rhythm 0,\u003c/em> Marina put everything on the line,\u003cem> \u003c/em>revealing the mixture of fetish, misogyny, and appetite for violence in her audience.

For her follow-up interview with Barbara Walters, Miley dressed in a loose-fitting outfit of long pants and a collared and fully-buttoned blouse.

It's doubtful. But Marina is treading deeper into Miley's territory, contaminating pop culture, and any explication of current events should take her work into account.

Hardly a week went by without a controversy -- butchering her hair, dropping Molly and marijuana references, twerking on live TV, NSFW fashion shoots -- each one making plain that Miley is not your tween role model anymore. We may dismiss her viewer provocation, exploitation of sexuality, and self-destructive tendencies as headline-grabbing antics, but perhaps there's more going on here. Similar tactics have been used by contemporary artist Marina Abramovic, the \"grandmother of performance art.\" Marina also had a stellar 2013, founding a performance art institute, starring in an opera about her death, writing James Franco's biography, and most famously, inspiring \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMG2oNqBy-Y\">Jay-Z's recent video for \"Picasso Baby.\"\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If your reaction is \"Marina who?\" then here's a brief introduction. Marina Abramovic made a name for herself in the anarchic heyday of Performance Art in the 1970s as an ultra-serious zealot. Performances such as her seminal \u003cem>Rhythm\u003c/em> series were notorious for the dangerous circumstances she devised, and her endurance of self-imposed penances. In her legendary work \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://vimeo.com/71952791\" target=\"_blank\">Rhythm 0\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003cem> \u003c/em>(1974), Marina offered spectators the opportunity to pleasure or harm her naked body with a myriad of objects ranging from a feather to a loaded gun, which audience members proceeded to do. Fast forward to 2010: for \u003cem>The Artist is Present\u003c/em>, a work staged at the MoMA in conjunction with a career survey and \u003ca href=\"http://marinafilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\">documented by HBO\u003c/a>, Marina silently locked eyes, one at a time, with hundreds of thousands of spectators queued up over three months (736 hours total).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marina is taking advantage of her fame while making a significant shift in her career with some high-profile celebrity collaborations. On the heels of her MoMA show, Marina has found her brand in demand by Lady Gaga, James Franco, and Jay-Z. For his \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMG2oNqBy-Y\" target=\"_blank\">Picasso Baby\" music video\u003c/a>, Jay-Z reinterpreted Marina's \u003cem>The Artist Is Present\u003c/em> at Pace Gallery, featuring himself as the Artist, rapping and strutting, and casting Marina as one of many reveling VIP participants. \"Picasso Baby\" is subtitled \"A Performance Art Video,\" but is it performance art, a music video, a hybrid?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caught off guard, viewers often don't know what to make of these new hybrids. (Critic Jerry Saltz, who was in attendance, \u003ca href=\"http://www.vulture.com/2013/07/jerry-saltz-face-to-face-with-jay-z.html\" target=\"_blank\">went in skeptical and left \"elated\"\u003c/a>.) When artists long for celebrity fame and pop stars flaunt Art World cred, traditionally separate frameworks of interpretation break down and merge together. The Art World badge gives an aura of seriousness to celebrity bearers, but perhaps it's not necessary anymore, if the boundary between the two worlds is so porous. Perhaps we can stretch out this broad hybridized pop/art framework a bit further, to reevaluate work lacking that aura of seriousness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10937\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 737px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/05/miley-abramovic-the-artist-came-in-like-a-wrecking-ball/mm_crying/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10937\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10937 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_crying-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"m&m_crying\" width=\"737\" height=\"369\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Stephen Shearer; \u003cem>Happy Christmas\u003c/em> by Marina Abramovic and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8\">still from \"Wrecking Ball,\" directed by Terry Richardson\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2013/sep/10/miley-cyrus-wrecking-ball\" target=\"_blank\">\"Wrecking Ball\"\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"http://www.theguardian.com/music/musicblog/2013/sep/10/miley-cyrus-wrecking-ball\" target=\"_blank\">is the centerpiece of Miley's campaign\u003c/a> to reinvent herself. The video has been written off by some critics for its overt raunchiness, but let's ignore that bias and consider the work from a different perspective.

The action takes place in a bare, minimalist cinder block room -- a kind of \"white cube\" gallery space -- decorated and atmospherically hardened by icons of hands-on demolition, a sledge hammer, a wrecking ball, and concrete detritus. Marina's \u003cem>Rhythm\u003c/em> series turned the gallery space into a variety of dangerous environments, experimenting with different kinds of threats: environmental (such as \u003ca href=\"http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/artwork/5190\" target=\"_blank\">the burning star of \u003cem>Rhythm 5\u003c/em>,\u003c/a> inside of which Marina nearly asphyxiated); social (the audience of \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em>); self-destructive (\u003ca href=\"http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2010/03/24/listening-to-marina-abramovic-rhythm-10\" target=\"_blank\">cutting herself with a knife in \u003cem>Rhythm 10\u003c/em>\u003c/a>). \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em> in particular is notable for its use of conventional tools appropriated as weapons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10970\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 765px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/05/miley-abramovic-the-artist-came-in-like-a-wrecking-ball/mm_show3-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10970\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10970 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31.jpg\" alt=\"m&m_show3\" width=\"765\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31.jpg 956w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31-400x200.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_show31-800x400.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Stephen Shearer; \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8\">still from \"Wrecking Ball,\" directed by Terry Richardson\u003c/a> and \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em> (1974) by Marina Abramovic\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Miley appears scantily dressed or completely nude in a variety of vignettes: getting friendly with a sledgehammer, bareback riding a wrecking ball, walking toward the viewer during the demolition, or writhing on the rubble. Performing nude is a familiar trope of Marina's: a challenge to perceptions of vulnerability. That same purpose is narratively served for Miley. Her nudity is part of her power over us, to whom she was previously victim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the sexual innuendo of her performance, Miley spins the tale of our breakup to us, with a gaze punctuated by tears. As the wrecking ball slams into cinder block, bringing down the walls, Miley walks toward us in a seductive confrontation. We wrecked her, and now she wrecks us. In \u003cem>Rhythm 0,\u003c/em> Marina put everything on the line,\u003cem> \u003c/em>revealing the mixture of fetish, misogyny, and appetite for violence in her audience. Some pleasuring did occur at the audience's hands, but the part we remember and talk about is the\u003ca href=\"http://writingtoinform.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/rhytm-0.jpg?w=323\" target=\"_blank\"> loaded gun held to her head at the end\u003c/a>. \"Wrecking Ball\" offers us the vicarious experience of Miley's seduction, her revenge, and her self-destruction, while at the same time, we become Miley's tormentor as she sings to us; Marina's stripped-down relational aesthetics reverberating through the fourth wall. Miley put it all on the line for us, and we didn't realize how far she would go, taking us down with her in a blaze of glory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10936\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 819px\">\u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/pop/2014/02/05/miley-abramovic-the-artist-came-in-like-a-wrecking-ball/mm_artist/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10936\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10936 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2014/02/mm_artist-1024x302.jpg\" alt=\"m&m_artist\" width=\"819\" height=\"242\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Stephen Shearer; \u003ca href=\"http://rancinan.com/PICTURES/Pictures_-_RANCINAN/PICTURE_52_-_RANCINAN.html\">Gerard Rancinan\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8\">still from \"Wrecking Ball,\" directed by Terry Richardson\u003c/a>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>We may speculate that the full nudity was at director Terry Richardson's behest, but Miley's general objectification in \"Wrecking Ball\" seems like her decision, part of her new identity, and the key to realizing this is understanding that we sexualize her only when \u003cem>she \u003c/em>says so. For her follow-up interview with Barbara Walters, Miley dressed in a loose-fitting outfit of long pants and a collared and fully-buttoned blouse. While fashionable, her unrevealing and non-sexual attire is her saying \"no.\" This also echos \u003cem>Rhythm 0\u003c/em>; at the end of the performance, Marina rose and approached surrounding audience members, who scattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Is there a direct, causal connection between Marina Abramovic and \"Wrecking Ball\"? It's doubtful. But Marina is treading deeper into Miley's territory, contaminating pop culture, and any explication of current events should take her work into account. Issues of intent and originality are typical cannon fodder and a lazy critique; we fire the gun when we don't like the work and holster it when we do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This year it is pretty much guaranteed that Halloween parties will be overrun with people creatively interpreting \"Government Shutdown\" with cardboard, felt, poster paint, caution tape and leggings from American Apparel. However, we know our readers are a deeper, more original bunch, and you will be looking for political Halloween costumes to set you apart from the herd. What follows are my suggestions.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
