The New York Botanical Garden has finally revealed details for its eagerly awaited Yayoi Kusama exhibition:
A Dim U.S. View of Russia and Putin
By C. J. CHIVERS
The United States harbors a low view of the Russian leaders and little hope that Russia will become more democratic or reliable.
With fewer than a thousand students, only about half of them on campus
at a time (the other half were off working somewhere, in Chicago, New
York, Detroit, and the like), seventy-five or eighty live-in, on-call,
faculty members, and wedged in between the woods and the railroad tracks
in Yellow Springs, Ohio (population 2,500), it looked, all lattice
arbors and brick chimneys, as though it had been set up on an MGM back
lot for Judy and Mickey, or perhaps Harold Lloyd, to play out the
passage from home—fumbling at sex, attempting alcohol, driving about in
open cars, conning fuddled professors, trying on outrageous selves.
Tonight's Art Moment is this fuddling cup from 1639. These three cups are not only joined by their entwined handles, but are also internally interconnected. With phrases such as "Fill this cup and drink it up" inscribed on other cups of this type, the unwitting drinker was deceived into drinking the contents of all the cups, rather than only one, thus leaving the drinker in a be-"fuddled" state. Both practical and playful, British drinking vessels came in many forms and sizes. Fermented beverages such as wine and ale provided a safe alternative to the often unsafe water supplies of 17th- and 18th-century towns. Also popular, wine from France, Spain, Portugal and Italy was stored in casks and decanted into bottles for serving. Cleverly crafted fuddling cups and puzzle cups added amusement and skill to the drinking experience.
