Although they capture quotidian subjects — portraits of Albers's family and friends; pictures of mannequins, stairwells, the beach, the Eiffel Tower — the carefully constructed collages meld the mechanics of then-young, handheld Leica cameras with the artist's hand, representing the unity of art and technology inherent to the Bauhaus.
|
|
But Mike E.'s conversion was more quotidian than that, and therefore more unsettling; somehow, over time, he had fallen into a particularly dark rabbit hole, where some of the most disturbing and discredited ideas in modern history were repackaged as the solution to twenty-first-century malaise.
|
|
But to the audience of "As You Like It," the fourth and final play in the opening-night marathon of miniatures by the British company Forced Entertainment, these quotidian objects were unambiguously the lovers in the play: Rosalind and Orlando, Celia and Oliver, Silvius and Phoebe, Touchstone and Audrey.

|
In this light, Serra's etchings reflect a quotidian reality rather than a platonic one; that is to say, while his art, to his way of thinking, may operate on a purely geometric plane, it's nonetheless connected to life as it is lived now, including the hassles of road work.
|
|
Within its pages, Parr lays bare our varied culinary lifestyles, highlighting quotidian views that can be oddly otherworldly or simply amusing: cherry blossoms poke out between the crevices of a mountain of canned Spam in Tokyo, while flat bread tans on the trunk of a car in Cairo.
|
|
While epic in scope — and, at nearly 500 pages, in scale — the book also makes vivid the quotidian details of its characters' everyday lives, from Sunja's visits to the 'fish broker' in Japanese-occupied Korea to the indignities suffered by Solomon as an aspiring Korean banker in 1980s Japan.
|
|
Mr. Campbell's honeyed tenor and Mr. DeLory's swooning string arrangements on the likes of "Wichita Lineman" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" were at once earthy and elegant — just the right accompaniment for the mystical-existential, though unabashedly quotidian, musings of the great songwriter Jimmy Webb.

White is the fall 2017 artist in residence at the Arts Council, and the photographs have been made in the style of his Manifest project, a portfolio of images of objects from African-American material culture: diaries, slave collars, human hair, a drum, and quotidian representations of ordinary life.
|
|
However, Pask's immersive and semi-interactive installation, originally created for the groundbreaking Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, was remarkably oracular in terms of modeling a human environment containing conversational machines — now such a quotidian part of life in developed countries that we rarely notice it.
|
|
Akomfrah is an insightful filmmaker, using lessons gleaned from directors like Stanley Kubrick — who made his characters appear to the viewer as though they didn't belong in the territories in which they found themselves— and Bill Viola — who slows down quotidian actions such as walking and thus makes them riveting.
|
|
The Brooklyn-based Katchadourian engages in very self-conscious play, obsessively creating congruencies out of quotidian situations, whether an audio tour about dust in the Museum of Modern Art or filling the lawn of a historic house with campaign signs for every unsuccessful US presidential candidate since John Adams's 2200 bid.
|
|
They frequently vented to Breitbart, and their podcast The Thin Green Line mixed quotidian union complaints (their uniforms' unsuitability for the humidity of the Rio Grande Valley, the fact that border agents are often stuck patrolling remote sectors with few chances for transfer) with praise for then-candidate Donald Trump.
|
|
Some items are a little more quotidian: a loan repayment document from Newton, a letter from Darwin declining an invitation because he felt ill, and an R.S.V.P. from Einstein joking that he would be happy to attend a lunch but might not eat much because he was on a diet.
|
|
Broken into three separate chapters—Mundane Futures, Quotidian Pasts, and Banal Presents—which will open consecutively over the course of 2019, the exhibition explores how the subjugation of black people in America was not only part of our country's foundation, but exists within our present moment, and shapes our future.
|
|
The book I'm still looking for would encase the reader so completely in feeling that reading it could transform the reader into a lover or beloved, a book so utterly consuming and wrecking that it would make the quotidian seem suddenly foreign, just as love has the power to do.
|
|
There are precious few Kamalas — indeed, precious few quotidian details of ordinary life — in Erika Rappaport's sturdy "A Thirst for Empire," in which she tells with authority how tea and the culture of tea drinking has influenced the greater history of the British Empire and the British-influenced world beyond.
|
|
While some of the largest cyberattacks have been the work of state-sponsored hackers—the OPM data breach that affected millions of Americans last year, for example, or the Sony hack that revealed Hollywood's intimate secrets—the vast majority of the world's quotidian digital malice comes from garden-variety hackers.
|
|
Like her predecessors, Zittel's material is also the Southwestern desert, but she isn't a land artist in the traditional mode: Instead of moving earth with giant machines, or leaving hulking, unpeopled abstractions amid the dust, she employs this vast landscape to explore and challenge the quotidian functions of our existence.
|
|
To mesh Einstein's quotidian world with his reveries, the show — directed by Cara Reichel for Prospect Theater Company at 59E59 Theaters — invents a siren-like figure, a beautiful woman named Josette (Alexandra Silber) who appears to Einstein (Zal Owen) only in his dreams, and always in a long crimson gown.
|

SUM Artists: Visual Diagrams and Systems-Based Explorations at the Wellin Museum of Art presents several generations of artists who investigate and visualize divergent subjects of pressing concern, such as the arts, culture, history, race, gender, politics, economics, humanities, transportation, and the quotidian, among others — through the process of data visualization.
|
|
His recent Twitter rebuke of Time magazine — a "you can't fire me because I quit" move, in which he claimed to have turned down a potential "Person of the Year" designation — set off an entire trivial news cycle that pushed aside more quotidian political news, like updates on tax-bill negotiations.
|
|
Hunkered down in her narrow seat, staging and photographing items on her tray table, perhaps with a sleeping fellow passenger beside her (one component of Seat Assignment features surreptitiously taken "spy" photographs of her snoozing seatmates), Katchadourian is irrepressibly creative, finding surprising possibilities with the most quotidian materials and images.
|
|
It's never really explicitly stated, but—like the unrealistically large West Village apartments of an out-of-work actor and a paleontologist on Friends—the implicit comforts serve to create a bit of a fantasy world, in which characters can focus on the quotidian dramas at hand without any existential worries.
|
|
But if you're gifting the kind of person who is more apt to spend their own cash on, shall we say, less-than-practical things like eating out or the acquisition of designer footwear, sometimes the best thing you can get them is that very quotidian object they'll never bother buying for themselves.
|

LIFE: Essential Tips and Shortcuts (That No One Bothers to Tell You) (Flatiron, $19.99) is a master class in the quotidian arts, revealing how to remove gum from clothing (freeze it), sharpen scissors instantly (cut through a piece of sandpaper) and improvise a portable speaker (stick your phone in a coffee mug).
|
|
But when the people in charge of the WBC started it, the history-making moments that they had in mind were not of the sort that Van Mil and Freiman provided when they became, over the course of an extremely quotidian two-out walk, the tallest batter-pitcher pairing in the sport's history.
|
|
"Over the past two decades, this content has transformed nearly every aspect of our lives, from profound actions like choosing a leader, building a career, and falling in love to more quotidian ones like hailing a cab and watching a movie," wrote David Tatel and Sri Srinivasan, the judges who wrote the opinion.
|
|
On a more quotidian level, Erman amusingly reports that Collazo worked to build an alliance with the Puerto Rican politician Luis Muñoz Rivera by writing a positive review of Rivera's book of poetry, Tropicales, and sending his review to Degetau; Degetau sent back a copy of his own book, Cuentos para el viaje.
|
|
Though the album took shape before 45 came into office, the long-anticipated release from the Boston garage duo offers a snapshot of the more lurking, quotidian forces at play that got us into this mess in the first place—that mess, of course, being the dystopian inversion of the American dream.
|
|
He delights in skewering Mr. Putin's cheerleaders and in denouncing the quotidian indignities of life in a resurgent superpower where, according to an April report by Russia's state statistical agency, more than an eighth of the population lacks an indoor toilet and 12 percent of households have no access to hot water.
|
|
Mexicans were far more concerned with quotidian matters, such as whether they would be able to refuel their cars — a gas crisis has crippled supplies around the country — and whether the new government would get the votes it needs to create a new national security apparatus, part of its plan to curb violence.
|
|
Regarding your question about whether you can "finally fix" longstanding structural problems in our society, each new wave of college graduates fixes on this type of abstract, ideological goal only to find themselves far more preoccupied by the more quotidian battles of finding work, paying rent, making meaningful connections with each other.

As the project continues, Kim's quotidian equilibrium is periodically disrupted by seismic shifts in the larger world: "War is looming" ("5333/23/226"); "Today we have a Black President" ("217/20/09"); Hurricanes Irene roils New York City ("8/28/11"); "Donald Trump is the president elect of the United States" ("11/01/16").
|
|
What he meant is that racial injustice is most often divorced from the spectacle of swastika-waving neo-Nazis and instead realized through more quotidian inequalities, such as residential and school segregation, the racial wealth gap, a broken criminal justice system, and the funneling of nonwhite workers into low-wage or precarious job markets.
|
|
And not just the urgent physical event of adulterous sex — though that's wonderfully well described, shot through with guilt and risk and yet presented entirely without mawkishness or sentimentality — but also its interminable emotional navigations and negotiations, the deceit and the guilt, the quotidian tug of war between desire and (in Bonnie's case anyway) loneliness.
|
|
It's a grim, detailed, quotidian drama about the inner workings of organized crime (which has drawn comparisons to "The Wire") and at the same time it's a traditional Mafia saga, a clan melodrama centering on succession and the ups and downs of the family business (which has drawn comparisons to "The Sopranos" and "The Godfather").
|
|
Freud's career paralleled the dismantling of the British Empire, and his pitiless eye tracked not only the dissolution of colonial privilege, but also, through the forensic inspection of unsound bodies, the undermining of the grand traditions of Rembrandt and Velázquez, subverting the painterly splendor he so revered with the grating realities of quotidian life.
|
|
Though advances in medical technology and legislation have created situations in which people with long-term conditions are increasingly able to be part of the work force and quotidian life, the implications — they need clothes that allow them to do so while also accommodating their physical reality — have taken a while to sink in.
|
|
Alongside invented fantasies of alternate cultural histories, there is a humble quality to Freedman's work, which is perceptive and humorous, like his series of 3,000 risograph prints of 201 drawings that he made for a film project, spanning from images of characters from antiquity to quotidian objects like a clothespin or a can of soup.
|
|
" At first, we encounter Richard as a man of considerable intelligence and erudition, but also as someone mired in his careful routines, in his mastery of banal quotidian detail: "The next day he mows the lawn, then opens a can of pea soup for lunch, then he rinses out the can and makes coffee.
|
|
I left Calakmul the following day and drove east, stopping at Becán, where a series of interconnected plazas and public buildings suggest the shape of quotidian Maya life, and at Chicanná, once Becán's aristocratic suburb, now another abandoned stone settlement in the forest, where heavily ornamented mansions reveal a world as stratified as our own.
|
|
In Ms. Ramos-Chapman's film "And Nothing Happened" (2016), which is just as unsettling, the rape is discussed only briefly and clinically, as one more moment that makes up the quotidian aftermath of survival: A disembodied bureaucratic voice offers to assist the subject (played by Ms. Ramos-Chapman) by paying medical and counseling bills.
|
|
The childhood abuse, the alcoholism, the affairs and breakups are the stuff of many a memoir — a genre that, curiously, doesn't figure at all in the numerous digressions on literature that dot the landscape of intentional quotidian banality here, even though "My Struggle" has far more in common with memoir than it does with fiction.
|
|
Though "Le Corbuffet" is not the first artist-driven cookbook — see Salvador Dalí's "Les Dîners de Gala" (213) and MoMA's "Artists' Cookbook" (221) — Choi's witty names for her dishes (Angus Martin, Richard Diebeinkorn Bread and Frida Kale-O Salad) paired with her playful food styling, turn the quotidian rituals of eating into a performance.
|
|
I'm so excited to have a cozy alternative to my current solution of performing menstrual sex in a crude, dirt-floored backyard hut made of sticks and animal fur, that I won't even mention we are centuries overdue in mainstreaming this quotidian function of female biology that is literally going on somewhere in your vicinity at all times.
|

While the title doesn't show up anywhere else in Mark Greenwold: The Rumble of Panic Underlying Everything at Garth Greenan Gallery (February 18–March 26, 2016), it seems like a good place to begin a consideration of the mesmerizing attention that Greenwold pays to the quotidian details occupying every inch of the four modest sized paintings in his exhibition.
|
|
So even if on the periphery of your awareness you think that these characters or any characters you're writing about might symbolize something, you have to really try your best to forget that and just get your nose down close to the ground and describe them with as much specificity and as much quotidian detail as you can.
|
|
For the text story featuring the documents, "The ISIS Files," published last week, a digital design team created an interactive experience that allowed readers to view annotated documents showing chilling, quotidian details of the elaborate bureaucracy that ISIS had created — including things like D.M.V. records, arrest records for children goofing off in prayer services and property seizure records.
|
|
There were Shara Hughes's sensual, glowing, chilled-out fantasy landscapes; Celeste Dupuy-Spencer's lovingly rendered paintings of quotidian moments; Deana Lawson's intimate, somehow monumental photographs; and of course, Henry Taylor's "THE TIMES THAY AINT A CHANGING, FAST ENOUGH" a mind-bendingly urgent, riveting, gut-wrenching portrayal of the murder of Philando Castile — the painting everyone should have been talking about.
|
|
The work resonates in Mely Barragán's soft sculpture which spells out the word "Macho" in filigree cursive and captures both the quotidian absurdity of daily gender inequity and the banality and redundancy of calling out the machismo of Mexican culture, as though it were only ensconced within that particular national imaginary and not an international point of concern and contention.
|
|
While he acknowledges that the LA lifestyle contains a certain amount of quotidian brutality in paradoxes having nowhere to park in a city built for driving ("I'm shitting on city planning; I'm not shitting on LA in any way"), in Los Angeles he can have a garden, his art studio, and a place to walk for coffee in the morning.
|
|
At the end we all took off our shoes and crawled into the confined space of a bear den, where we huddled together, wearing bear masks and listening to Weaver — looking "grizzly" with a six-month growth of beard — tell the story of a man slogging through his quotidian existence until one day he slowly began a metamorphosis into a bear.
|
|
In its scope and seamless weaving of the fantastical and the quotidian, it owes a hefty debt to Gabriel García Márquez, though Mr Eka's magical realism is much earthier and less lyrical than his Latin American predecessor's (in a nifty bit of irony, the only character able consistently to use magic to his advantage is Kliwon, a communist who disavows religion and superstition).
|
|
Among the most consistent sites of cultural difference and quotidian conflict in cities is the soundscape: neighbors scowling over differing ideas of the volume or type of music that's acceptable to play; people in parks who want quiet, modest picnics versus big groups or families out for a barbecue or party; or shared annoyance about dogs who bark far too much.
|
|
Unsafe to perform outside the safety of his home, Grigorescu's actions suggest that such seemingly quotidian acts as washing one's body or attempting to sleep become for the artist acts of resistance, of not giving in to the system by taking care of one's own body, and continuing to make art and perform acts of resistance, even if alone and in secret.
|
|
To ignore the latest quotidian technology today (at least when concerning the middle and upper classes of developed nations, as most published fiction here tends to be) is to imagine some screenless 19th-century world in which people may as well still be riding in horse-drawn buggies instead of hailing Ubers and Lyfts and, not long from now, self-driving cars.
|
|
Perhaps slinking into your own internal safe-space via the medium of grainy footage of grandparental figures shuffling across the dancefloor to the sounds of disjointed deep house isn't the best way to confront the quotidian atrocities that beat and batter each and everyone of us, but fuck it, if you're going to escape into anything, why not make it this.
|
|
There is no excuse — not now, not ever — for treating women differently from men when it comes to pay and compensation, in representation on corporate boards or in the executive suites, in quotidian meetings where women often are made to feel belittled or inadequate or, heaven forbid, in social interactions where men have been known to take advantage of women against their will.
|
|
Strand is certainly happy to have his lifetime of work recognized on this quotidian plane, but there is an unshakable sense that his art is answering a much higher call, and his process is one that lifts him out and above this mortal coil, in communication with a world the rest of us can only see from the artifacts he channels.
|
|
So it moved from this corrective period to a more celebratory mode; I think Jamel Shabazz is a great exponent of this, with his honor and dignity series really chronicling black life that might be just quotidian to those people but isn't given its due lots of times because of saturation we have of images that show one denigrating cultural narrative about African-Americans.
|
|
King is a proponent of the quotidian tranquility interruption; Castle Rock will tell the story of a death row attorney ( American Horror Story's André Holland) who returns to his hometown—he hasn't been back since the townspeople turned on him after a mysterious accident, of which he has no memory, killed his father—to represent a disturbed feral inmate kept in a cage underneath Shawshank State Penitentiary (Bill Skarsgård).
|
|
Instead, the facts are more quotidian: Terrible things happen when people collaborate with terrible perpetrators; most people are generally helpful to the extent that their circumstances and temperament allow (unless they've been taught to hate); being a bystander is often morally permissible; being a hero is exceptional and instinctual (not taught); and what history teaches us is both easier and harder than the supposed dark dangers of bystanderdom.
|
|
I stopped into Matt Bollinger's studio and chatted with the artist about his paintings that look like quotidian domestic scenes — for instance, a naturally lit living room — but in which he takes liberties with the fall of light; in one image, he's created a whitish wash that bends through a nearby window and extends toward a lamp, collapsing the times of both noon and dusk in the frame.
|
|
Rendering of Escobedo Soliz Studio's winning proposal for MoMA PS1 's Young Architects Program Image by Escobedo Soliz, 2016 Embodying a characteristically Millennial attitude, their practice is concerned primarily with navigating the quotidian constraints of practice and bending those strictures towards producing innovative and thoughtfully understated solutions, relying on depressions in walls to dictate the geometries of their rope canopy at PS1, or by recycling building materials from past constructions in other projects.
|
|
Like so much recent Chicago hip-hop and R&B (minus the cloying juvenilia), her trick is to evoke the specifics of daily life — quotidian anxiety, relationship trouble, relationship bliss, police violence, money struggles, worrying about her career, casual moments of fun, and so on — in a blithe, magically easygoing mood that couldn't possibly reflect her lived experience of the world, or for that matter anyone else's, so spiritually peaceful it's almost surreal.
|
|
The show Self on the Shelf curated by Christine Miele was one of those technology-driven extravaganzas that don't quite work as planned, but most of the time when I touched a black dot on a quotidian furnishing in what was designed to look like a bedroom, the whole scene shifted and music and images wafting across the walls made me feel like by touching the button, I had entered a wormhole.

As I listen to the recordings now, what jumps out is how fluid the discussion became, how quickly it would pivot from the most quotidian affairs, like a choice of condiment or a spat over a missed phone call, to a deeper slate of personal concerns that cut to the center of their lives, as the Mosbys tried to convey in whatever words they could muster the experience of these last few months, of what went wrong, and when and why, and how much they had lost.
|

Mr. Acevedo began writing in the diary on March 20 ("Yesterday our planes dropped leaflets as well as bombs"), and he alternated accounts of horrors with quotidian observations ("The weather is beautiful and it looks like spring, which has finally come to Germany"), good news ("This morning us medics got together and ate Scrambled Eggs & Sausage from our Red Cross Boxes") and biting humor ("Lenten Fast ends at Noon today — But does not apply to us we have been fasting since December 31, 1944").

Like, time and its measurement would only be an invisible tool, to accommodate everything I wanted to do in a day, PLUS, you know, frequent intervals of easy, restorative, quotidian, spontaneous magick of some kind (dealer's choice, but, some untethered use of your youth, some reconsideration of a stuck thing, some confession that blood-blisters your vulnerability, some lion-heartedness, some acknowledgement of the memento mori that is your human body.) Right now what I do is: I write down what I'm doing, in 30-minute slots.
|

The guides and predecessors Wright chooses for himself are painters as often as they are poets — Cézanne, Morandi, Rothko — artists for whom the point of creating was to bring out and to make visible the spiritual core of the quotidian: Give me the names for things, just give me their real names,Not what we call them, but whatThey call themselves when no one's listening— And if it turns out, when one gets to road's end, that things have no "real names," that when no one is listening things are simply silent?

On the micro-level, McGrath aims to portray contemporary American life as it is, in all its giddy diversity and quotidian trashiness, and he is not unwilling to gently chide other poets for their tendency to ignore the existence of TV game shows, rock music and other phenomena some writers might write off as insufficiently poetic: In the world of some poetsthere are no Cheerios or Pop-Tarts, no hot dogstumbling purgatorially on greasy rollers,only chestnuts and pomegranates,the smell of freshly baked bread,summer vegetables in red wine, simmering.

Christina Sharpe tells us this much in her book In the Wake: When we find images of Black suffering in various publics framed in and as calls to action or calls to feel with and for … That is, these images work to confirm the status, location, and already held opinions within dominant ideology about those exhibitions of spectacular Black bodies whose meanings then remain unchanged … the repetition of the visual, discursive, state, and other quotidian and extraordinary cruel and unusual violences enacted on Black people does not lead to a cessation of violence, nor does it, across or within communities, lead primarily to sympathy or something like empathy.
