Then, when that posturing started to rub people the wrong way, she dived into psychedelia with the Flaming Lips. Ever eager to prove how delightfully weird or reassuringly trad she is from one era to the next, she felt calculated and hard to pin down musically. This perfectly suited a pop career full of surprises but created suspicions about her intentions as a visitor to the far-reaching subgenres her albums wandered through. A good bit of that drift is completely germane to sticking a microphone in anyone's face at various points in their teens and 20s, when we figure ourselves out one mistake at a time.
But some of it seemed to communicate that Cyrus simply thrives on throwing us off and winning us over once again. Last spring's Attention: Miley Live-largely a document of her performance at the 2022 Super Bowl Music Fest-offers a clinic in the singer-songwriter's dueling urges to impress and confuse a crowd. After a jarring opening stretch that zooms through a mash-up of Bangerz hits and altrock covers, Cyrus pauses to address the audience, joking that surely many of them showed up a little too early for headliner Green Day and happened into the spectacle of her set. She thanks fans for bearing with "all of those identities that I was trying on and seeing if they fit me," stressing that at the root of every experiment was honesty.

Art Fall Preview - World in Motion - An Alvin Ailey retrospective sets the tone for an array of eclectic offerings from the art world this fall.
An Alvin Ailey retrospective sets the tone for an array of eclectic offerings from the art world this fall. A gust of fresh air is blowing through the art world. A brand-new outfit called Ruby/Dakota has opened on the supercool strip of East 2nd Street. A whole new scene has formed around 56 Henry's two gallery spaces in Chinatown, and solo shows there by Laurie Simmons and Richard Tinkler promise to scintillate. Just north of the Whitney, Fort Gansevoort Gallery regularly showcases undiscovered artists, including, in September, 84-year-old quilt-maker extraordinaire Yvonne Wells. A gaggle of established artists are also exhibiting-Kara Walker, Simone Leigh, Nick Cave, and the still under-known Denzil Forrester among them. And the museums will have their fair share of thrilling exhibitions, too: The Whitney will feature American national treasure Alvin Ailey, MoMA will peer deep into its own brilliant bellybutton in a show about the woman who helped make the museum, and the Brooklyn Museum will give us an enormous show of artists based in its borough.
Kamala's Party - Producing Chicago The DNC covered nearly impossible ground to raise up Harris as the new hero.
Producing Chicago The DNC covered nearly impossible ground to raise up Harris as the new hero. At a political convention, power is rendered as geography. The rank and file are stuck in the rafters of the arena; the delegates jostle on the floor. Donors and VIPs are positioned up in a ring of luxury suites, their status-conferring badges and passes flapping from their many lanyards. The staffers toil down in the bowels, harried and molelike, their eyes on their phones. But at last week’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, maybe the most important piece of real estate was a narrow space up metal gangway stairs at the back of the United Center, where Ricky Kirshner worked in front of a bank of a half-dozen flat-screens. The Democrats in the hall were extras in a televised event, and Kirshner was producing the show.
