" Describing his project as "a kind of a day of the dead celebration," Perlin delivered one of the most beguiling, salient lines of the conference, and one that can easily serve as a motto for the promise of VR: "everyone gets to be a spirit in the spirit world. from Hyperallergic
Edward, for his part, was loyal to his American charmers as long as they catered to his exacting standards of social amusement — and sometimes (like Jennie Jerome, widow of Randolph Churchill) agreed to serve him Japanese tea, which came with a beguiling flash of what was under the kimono. from The New York Times
For one of her encores, Ms. Antonacci sang the "Habanera" from "Carmen," but this foray into the extremely familiar was as eye-opening as the rest of the program: Her voice rarely rose above a mezzo-piano, which lent a beguiling mystery to a performance that verged on cabaret. from The New York Times
Her beguiling concept was that by a simple pinprick — drawing only a drop or two of blood — Theranos could dispense with the hypodermic needle, which she likened to a gruesome medieval torture, and perform a full range of blood tests in walk-in clinics and, ultimately, people's homes. from The New York Times
One stellar episode from 2018's first season, "Joe Pera Reads You The Church Announcements," deals in the joy of discovering a song for the first time—in this case, it's "Baba O'Riley" by The Who, a track so ubiquitous his ignorance of it is both hilarious and beguiling. from Vice
Young Jojo's fanatical devotion to the eternal glory of the Thousand Year Reich is undermined, firstly, by his total incompetence in all things military and, later, by the discovery of a beguiling Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) who is being hidden by his mother (Scarlett Johansson) in an attic annex. from New Republic
Mr. Kim's flattery of Mr. Trump with beguiling letters and episodic meetings offering vague assurances of eventual nuclear disarmament, some outside experts say, are part of what they call the North Korean leader's strategy of buying time to improve his arsenal despite all the sanctions on North Korea. from The New York Times
Joining it is "Lessons in Tradition," a dialogue between Dorrance and the renowned clown performer Bill Irwin, with the singer and jazz bassist Kate Davis; "Harlequin & Pantalone," a duet between Irwin and the beguiling Warren Craft; and "Basses Loaded," which brings together four tappers and four bass players. from The New York Times
But as he arrived in the beguiling seaside town of Taormina for a meeting of the Group of 7 countries on Friday, the smooth statesman celebrated in Saudi Arabia and Israel is now being portrayed as the ugly American, trampling America's friends and trashing the trans-Atlantic alliance. from The New York Times
A collector and dealer of contemporary art and design, Baruch uses the space as a de facto showroom, a place to display beguiling curios and whimsical home décor for the benefit of clients, though of course he also takes personal pleasure in living among eccentric and beautiful things. from The New York Times
Third seed Halep, who had been looking to become the first woman to retain her title at Roland Garros since Belgian Justine Henin won three times in a row from 43-07, never found a solution to counter the 17-year-old American's beguiling mix of speed and accuracy. from Reuters
Emma Garland Nicole Dollanganger's voice and delivery might be as sweet, light and beguiling as a doll, but her lyrics are scattered in darkly gruesome themes, from sexual violence to illness and death, her aesthetic swinging between something delicate and angelic to something altogether more gothic, kinky and campy. from Vice
Instead of espousing the life-as-art practice endemic to art movements of the 1960s like Fluxus and Happenings, Merz's Living Sculptures are more art-as-life: works so beguiling and domineering that, when installed in her small Turin kitchen, they subsumed her lived space into her art. from Hyperallergic
Aurora's beguiling electro-pop has already earned her Twitter shout outs from Jaden Smith and Katy Perry, and her lovely stripped down cover of Oasis' "Half the World Away" became a UK chart hit after being picked to soundtrack a British department store's Christmas TV commercial (24 million views and counting). from Vice
The charm of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" (2014) arose from the clash between the geometric rigor of the design and the more impulsive way in which Ralph Fiennes, for example, in the role of the concierge, dashed around firing off curses, beguiling the guests, and changing his plans on the hoof. from New Yorker
The 20-minute work is layered with shape-shifting elements: droning low sonorities; restlessly oscillating figures; sonic masses that come in and out of focus; blocks of chords that heave and sway; and, in one surprising turn, a beguiling melodic episode that yearns to settle in but never quite does. from The New York Times
On the face of it, this is supposed to be a history of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator; it turns out to be something much stranger — an inventive and beguiling biography of the idiosyncratic mother-daughter pair who developed the indicator using their own, decidedly unscientific, interpretations of human behavior. from The New York Times
Home to the excellent and unfortunately canceled Lodge 49 and the masterful Halt And Catch Fire, AMC is the best network for patient, beguiling TV. But more than that, Dispatches From Elsewhere is a visually inventive, charmingly weird, and life-affirming show that's well worth taking on its elaborate puzzle. from Vice
Nothing dry and scholarly here, though: Presented by this Queens museum as part of the series Summer Matinees: Fantastic Worlds, the tale also includes a beguiling fairy, a subterranean monster and barbarians nearly at the abbey's gate as it follows the adventures of Brendan, the boy novitiate, in a mystical forest. from The New York Times
What we see on the walls of the Jewish Museum on a quiet Victorian side street in the raucously crowded, teen-beguiling, razzmatazz district of Camden, North London, is about one-third of the small paintings, all of a regular size, that formed part of a huge project called Life? from Hyperallergic
I'll also be setting aside some time to visit 27 Greenpoint Avenue, which is home to the playful, almost-figurative paintings and sculptures of Emily Noelle Lambert, the colorfully geometric compositions of Kristen Schiele, the enigmatic and autobiographic sculptural assemblages of Stephen Eakin, and the beguiling, alchemical sculptures of Mariana Garibay Raeke. from Hyperallergic
This act is the core of the opera, when the lovers Mimì and Rodolfo (the beguiling soprano Ailyn Pérez and the robust tenor Matthew Polenzani), agree to stop quarreling and remain together at least until spring comes, though this is a stopgap: Rodolfo, knowing that Mimì is gravely ill, feels helpless and panicked. from The New York Times
From her film debut at the age of 5 to her glamorous life in the spotlight to her epic romances, the beguiling, dark-eyed beauty sidestepped the trappings of many onetime child stars, fostering a celebrated career – and an inimitable allure – that made her one of the most captivating actresses of her time. from People
Women make up the majority of the cast— Nymphomaniac actress Mia Goth plays a confidante to Susie, model Alek Wek plays a beguiling dance teacher and Jessica Harper, who starred in the original Suspiria, came out of retirement to play long-lost partner to psychiatrist Dr. Jozef Klemperer (Swinton under heavy prosthetics). from Vice
From the Kastro, I had looked down over the craterlike shoreline of Adamas Bay; the white buildings of Embourios three miles across to the west; and closer, over the village of Klima, with its beguiling syrmata, two-story fishermen's huts dug into the cliffs, waves lapping at their bright red and blue doors. from The New York Times
The 14 wines were served in four flights, grouped roughly by geography, though this was sometimes hard to conjure as most producers back then blended grapes from the different villages of Barolo into one complete wine: Castiglione Falletto for structure and power, for example, with La Morra for delicacy and beguiling aromas. from The New York Times
Just under half of Angelenos are Hispanic or Latino, and the local galleries have offered key support to artists I saw at the fairs, including Rafa Esparza, whose performances and installations use arduously cast adobe bricks, and Tanya Aguiñiga, whose beguiling wall-mounted weavings draw on both pre-Columbian and American feminist traditions. from The New York Times
Their swingy guitar plucking, luxurious saxophone noodling, off-kilter jazz chords, swirly clouds of backing vocals, and general aura of stylish melancholy would feel unbearably beguiling and sexy if the whole package weren't so candidly artificial, which makes the implied romanticism look a little silly but also more fascinating, in a perversely amusing way. from Hyperallergic
All three Goon Sax are heartthrob-pretty and waywardly fashionable: James mild-mannered but striking with his shock of straw-yellow hair; Louis tall and angular, newly sporting a cool-boy fade; Riley with her beguiling almond-shaped grey eyes and a sleek blonde mullet, clad in an Angie t-shirt bearing the word 'SHYNESS'. from Vice
There is a necessary and beguiling revision of John Berryman's "dream songs" that puts the story of Henry "Box" Brown — a slave turned abolitionist orator who escaped bondage by mailing himself away in a crate — in the place of Berryman's character Henry, who, in the white poet's original, sometimes assumes a black-face persona. from Hyperallergic
When he returned, he was always noticeably out of fashion (or maybe just ahead of it) until the mid-70s: In 1967, he released an album of very traditional-sounding folk music, John Wesley Harding, in 1969 he made Nashville Skyline, a country album, and in 1970, he released Self-Portrait, one of the most beguiling albums ever made. from New Republic
We went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art , where he lingered for a long while in front of Cubist self-portraits, whose geometric exaggerations struck Yan as "beguiling and unexpectedly moving"; and to Flushing, where he was so tempted by the price of Nikes that he bought pairs for his entire family, despite not knowing anyone's size. from New Yorker
Those islands are divided into three broad groups: Luzon, the largest and northernmost grouping (and name of its main island), home to the sprawling, beguiling and often infuriating capital city of Manila; Visayas in the centre, anchored by Cebu, the Philippines' booming second city; and Mindanao, home to a sizable Muslim population in the south-west. from Economist
Keetje Kuipers's "Spring Letter from the South" follows the form faithfully, down to an unvoiced "wish you were here"; her beguiling account is like the letter you write in your head before you sit down and everything evaporates, as she gently urges us from the change in seasons toward a contemplation of the cycle of life. from The New York Times
A new wrinkle in the narrative is the work of the singular Brazilian artist Celso Renato (28950-21957), seen in its beguiling seven-piece United States debut at Mendes Wood DM. He was a practicing lawyer and self-taught artist who spent most of his life in Belo Horizonte in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. from The New York Times
It means trying to solve the riddle of a man who was outwardly gregarious — "As beguiling a conversationalist as Oscar Wilde," as Mr. Dery put it — and flamboyantly fashionable, walking the streets of New York in the 1960s and '70s in floor-sweeping fur coats that caught the attention of the photographer Bill Cunningham, yet forever enigmatic. from The New York Times
Now, six episodes into the limited series, Vance is garnering both widespread acclaim and increased public profile for his pitch-perfect interpretation of the late attorney, from the private side filled with endless ambition, occasional hubris and his own history of being discriminated against to the public displays of both blistering social outrage and beguiling charm. from Mashable
The Met Breuer is not yet a year old, but it has already distinguished itself as a site of beguiling and serious surprises: a huge survey of unfinished works by masters of Western art, a provocatively ingenious installation of Diane Arbus photographs, and a terrific retrospective (soon to close) of the African-American painter Kerry James Marshall. from New Yorker
The strangely beguiling avocado a la plancha comes as half a fruit warmed, blackened by char, and lying face down in a pool of room-temperature tomato water livened up by basil-chili oil and sprouted mung beans; it feels futuristic and, in the end, far superior to spooning avocado out of its skin at the kitchen sink. from New Yorker
One of the more beguiling aspects of the painting is that the stripes appear to be layered, with a primary coat of Mars red or some other warm, earthy color beneath the gray, but close attention reveals that the reddish tones gracing the edges of the stripes are dark bits of gray pigment clinging to the tooth of the canvas. from Hyperallergic
It goes from a beguiling, "This whiskey got me feeling pretty," to Rihanna throwing herself into the sloppier mess of just wanting to be with someone, and fast: You take me higher, higher than I've ever been, babe Just come over, let's pour a drink, babe I hope I ain't calling you too late, too late.... You light my fire. from Vox
Critics have been raving about the 23-year-old model-turned-actress's standout performance as Robin — a no-nonsense teen who works at Hawkins' sailor-themed ice cream parlor, Scoops Ahoy, and is a font of ingenious, evil-fighting suggestions (PEOPLE's own Tom Gliatto praised her performance, saying Maya has "the beguiling, uncanny self-possession of the early Scarlett Johansson"). from People
That strand of the story isn't developed any more fully than the one about the showgirls, or the bits about factory life, or the glimmers of romance — though a gorgeous, tiny song called "Hi, Hello," sung by Henry and a showgirl named Louise (Shira Averbuch, in beguiling voice), manages to capture, with astonishing economy, all the charged awkwardness of meeting cute. from The New York Times
On her enchanted island, Alcina — the soprano Shannon Mercer, who expertly navigated her character's transformation from beguiling to crazed — seduces knights and, once bored with them, turns them (and those who attempt to rescue them) into plants, convincingly conjured in Gilbert Blin's production with leafy masks that make the characters, in stately period costumes, seem as if they're at a ball. from The New York Times
Set in a vivid blue, 240-year-old Portuguese manse in Panaji's hilly Altinho neighborhood, Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts is a beguiling backdrop for an ever-changing roster of exhibitions — you might stumble onto an art or photography show, a lecture or a music performance, some of which carry on into the evening in the villa's lovely garden. from The New York Times
More solo work—proggier, hairier, wilder solo work—followed, and last year he hooked up with Emil Nikolaisen and Todd Rundgren for the wonderfully beguiling, beguilingly wonderful Runddans LP. Next month sees Lindstrøm return to slightly clubbier fare with the Smalltown Supersound released Windings EP, a spacey and seductive three tracker that's been enjoying repeat plays our way ever since we go our hands on it. from Vice
Instead, with his sharp, sensitive eye, Mr Glick captured the texture of life in Chinatown in beguiling portraits—of business owners, factory workers, a stylish young man in a Ramones t-shirt—and in carefully composed still-life studies of living spaces and well-worn possessions: blackened pots and pans, coats, beds, bowls, old coca-cola cans and some freshly washed socks drying above a kitchen cooker. from Economist
Affliction even subtly shapes the journalistic persona Didion crafts for herself in her canonical essays: a rigorously unsentimental reporter writing about senseless violence and serial killers, picking apart the hollow promises of the American dream, but still facing all this darkness with a beguiling female fragility, plagued by migraines and existential angst, packing her own size 2 black cocktail dresses when she hits the road. from The New York Times
Among the other winners: Alex Bradley Cohen's charming figurative paintings at Nicelle Beauchene (1.00), Marley Freeman's luminous small abstractions at Parker (2.02), Farah Al Qasimi's complex and beguiling photographs of life in the United Arab Emirates at Helena Anrather (4.02), Jenna Westra's cerebrally suggestive black and white photographs at Hassla (4.16), and Graham Anderson's sepia-toned retro-futurist figurative painting at Klaus von Nichtssagend (2.05). from The New York Times
" The beguiling last category almost guaranteed that visitors would be tempted to scroll all the way through the long Navigator page in order to find the Cool Site of the Day, the F.B.I.'s Most Wanted, Sodaconstructor, Earthcam, the Dead People Server and Ghost Sites of the Web, described by Mr. Meislin as a guide to "some of the rusting hulks along the information superhighway. from The New York Times
But celebrity social media's most beguiling quality is its ability to convince us that the star himself is controlling the narrative: that the images before us, and the overarching understanding they create, reflect the star's authentic self, or, at the very least, the way the star thinks of himself and his image, as opposed to the way a publicist and studio think of the star and his image. from Buzzfeed News
From the beginning of his time in the public eye, Driver has been positioned as exceptional: in his performance as Adam Sackler, Dunham's beguiling on- and off-again love interest in Girls; in his oft-reported backstory as the stepson of an Indiana preacher who enlisted in the Marines before making it to Juilliard; and that baritone voice, which Vulture aptly described as its own form of woodwind. from Buzzfeed News
It is a safe guess that the Eastern European Jews who brought the bialy from Bialystok to New York City, piecing back together the recipe for this plain but beguiling dimpled roll in their new world after fleeing their old one, did not do it so that one day it could be sliced open and stuffed with a New Jersey pork sausage that comes in a cloth sack. from The New York Times
Release date: October 222 Why it matters: It's a crime drama about a mysterious murder and stars Michael Fassbender, but it's also directed by Tomas Alfredson, best known for the chilly, beguiling 222 film Let the Right One In. Release date: October 22 Why it matters: This satirical drama about a contemporary art curator whose best intentions go a bit awry left audiences laughing at Cannes, where it eventually won the coveted Palme d'Or. from Vox
Still, those three are exhibiting some stellar natives: David Castillo will feature the winningly playful assemblages of Pepe Mar; Central Fine is showing paintings by Tomm El-Saieh, whose hypnotic brushwork fuses Haitian folkloric traditions with classic Abstract Expressionism; while Fredric Snitzer's booth is devoted to paintings by Hernan Bas, whose beguiling, homoerotically charged portraits of dandies and waifs remain some of the strongest work to emerge from Miami over the past two decades. from The New York Times
To name just three, Dave Haslam's Life After Dark, is a wonderful alternative history of the British people, Life and Death On The New York Dance Floor, 1980-1983 by Tim Lawrence is a vitally important look at an important moment in time in one of the world's most important cities, and The Record Players by Bill Brewster and Frank Broughton is a vital work of oral history as beguiling as anything produced by Studs Terkel or Svetlana Alexievich. from Vice
Riding on the rampant consumerism of Chinese society and the indulgence of entertainment adopted by the Chinese govermentality, the TANK Art Festival does not provide an escape from these beguiling and overwhelming phenomena; instead, it carved out a space within consumerism that uses dark humor and more serious play, thought-provoking entertainment, and corporeal inquiry as alternative forms of criticism — a witty and brave act when such space has been collapsing, due to institutional and self-censorship, all around the world. from Hyperallergic
Yet he gives each of them a distinct character; under Mr. Nézet-Séguin (and the revival stage director, David Kneuss), these impressive singers found their individual dramatic voices, especially the beguiling, pure-toned soprano Erin Morley as the chatterbox Constance; the mezzo-soprano Karen Cargill as the benevolent Mother Marie, who longs for martyrdom with her "daughters" but is denied it; and the soprano Adrianne Pieczonka as Madame Lidoine, the new prioress, who arrives with a slightly sanctimonious air, only to find inner strength and heroism. from The New York Times
