Happy birthday to Whitney Collection artist Jenny Holzer! UNEX Sign #1 (Selections from the Survival Series) from 1983 is one of the artist’s earliest works to present her Truisms—one-line aphorisms written by Holzer—with LED technology, a state-of the art means of public communication for government and institutional agencies. At the time of its making, the piece’s 54 statements may have been mistaken for ads, instructions, or public announcements. In a media-saturated world in which news and ads flash by for passive viewers, Holzer uses this instrument of communication to call us to attention.

Amanda Shires is known for her folksy, Americana sound. In 2017, Shires was named the Americana Music Association’s Emerging Artist of the Year and she frequently lends her voice and style to her husband Jason Isbell’s band, The 400 Unit. But her new solo record, To the Sunset, moves away from her normal style, taking on more pop sounds with crunched guitars and layered vocals.

Shires came to NPR in Washington, D.C. to perform songs from the new album and talk to NPR’s Don Gonyea about the stories behind them, as well as about being a woman in country music and new motherhood.

The interior of Milan’s Basilica of Sant’Eustorgio (a popular pilgrimage stop en route to Rome presumed to have been founded in the fourth-century by Eustorgius I, a bishop to whom the then emperor of Constantinople donated the relics of the Three Magi) has been transformed – atmospherically at least – by the latest instalment of Kimsooja’s series of work To Breathe (2006–).The New York-based Korean artist is best known for her early performance and videowork for which she used her own body as a conduit for questioning the role of the individual within society, as well as site-specific installations and sculptures made from fabrics – namely her ongoing series Bottari (the Korean term for bundles used to carry family possessions to new settlements), which are made from brightly coloured bedcovers and clothes and allude to the forced migrations of Koreans during the country’s various social and political upheavals.
