Showcase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is exploring the legacy of abstract expressionism in its latest show made up of pieces from its own collection, promised gifts and recent acquisitions. 'Epic Abstraction: Pollock to Herrara' contains works spanning eight decades beginning in the 1930s and includes paintings and sculptures by both well known and little-known artists.

While art and culture may be universal, not everyone has access to it. 15% of the world's population experiences some form of disability. But an initiative - called 'Museum without Walls' - is hoping to create an exhibition experience that anyone with access to the internet can enjoy.

To talk more about what this initiative aims, Showcase is joined by Ryan Nelson and Su Basbugu from the British Council.

Group displays, curated spaces, photography exhibitions and prints galore... The 2019 London Art Fair is once again bringing its usual flair to the UK capital. As the first major art event of the year, the fair is setting a defiant tone in the face of Britain's political woes, showcasing the best in sculpture, photography as well as painting. Showcase's Miranda Atty brings us her selection of what should not be missed.

To learn more about this year's fair, Showcase is joined by Jean Wainwright from the London studio. Jean is a Professor of Contemporary Art and Photography.

It's an app on your smartphone, the topic of a lot of water cooler talk, the place you turn to when you want to chill out, and the reason why 'binge-watching' has become a global pastime. But not for many genius creators like Quentin Tarantino who refuses to watch films online and still watches movies on VHS. But where did Netflix begin and how did it manage to get so huge in such a short amount of time? Here's our look at what a lot of us have signed up for.

#Netflix #NetflixOriginials #Showcase

With 100 foreign-language series Netflix is taking binge-watching global. And their ambitious plans to ramp up local production in territories across the world now includes Turkey. A new international Netflix original series is being filmed and produced right here in Istanbul. "The Protector" is a rags to riches story where the protagonist, down on his luck, goes from zero to hero... but as Showcase's Aadel Haleem tells us - not without struggle.

Five years ago, an exhibition in Southampton, England, brought together a group of artists with very different styles. But one thing in common - they were all inspired by the sea. Since then, the woman who curated that show - Jean Wainwright has spoken to many of those artists about what lures them to the sea. Those interviews make up the foundation of her book: Ship to Shore. Showcase's Miranda Atty sat down with Wainwright to speak about what she discovered.
