Critic’s Academy Award predictions

(02/04/20 11:00am)

In just under a week, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will crown its winners of the coveted Oscar statuette. “Joker” leads the pack this year with 11 nominations, but will the film’s popularity as a nominee propel it all the way to a Best Picture win? Or will the Academy’s over-9,000-member voting body cast their preferential ballots in favor of the technical feat “1917,” or be bold enough on Feb. 9 to crown “Parasite” as the first foreign language Best Picture winner? My predictions for eight of the 24 Oscar categories explain the odds behind the likely winners.



Krautsourcing: socially engaged art

(02/04/20 11:00am)

Art can be found in anything and everything. S.E. (Sean) Nash, a Kansas City-based artist, created an exhibition at the Women’s Studies Research Center called “Krautsourcing” to investigate the transcendental art of fermentation: a metabolic process during which enzymes produce chemical changes in organic substances. For “Krautsourcing,” Nash uses sauerkraut, or fermented cabbage, as the premier material of the artworks. Last Friday, I had the opportunity to speak over the phone with Nash to discuss the exhibition as well as the upcoming Lacto-Fermentation Workshop, which will be held at the Kniznick Gallery at the WSRC on Feb. 8.
