Koch Brothers Buy PBS Silence – YouTube
See on Scoop.it – The Cultural & Economic Landscapes
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
The Koch Bothers buy PBS’ silence. Citizen Koch will not air on PBS TV. How disappointing that PBS, the pillar of ‘public owned’ TV, caved in to their pressure. How public is PBS or are they the private domain of The Koch Brothers and other millionaire donors.

Downtown Los Angeles’s historic core is about to get its first major museum, if that’s what you want to call it.
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
Only minutes on the freeway from Malibu and Rodeo drive, downtown Historic Los Angeles is a million miles away. Its core is about to get its first museum. Although personally, I think Downtown LA, itself is a museum.

Today: Shigeru Ban to Receive the Pritzker Architecture Prize
See on Scoop.it – Avant-garde Art & Design
“Today, architect Shigeru Ban will walk away with $100,000 and a bronze medallion—maybe someone will throw in a bouquet of flowers, just for good measure. He will be honored with the Pritzker Architecture Prize, an award granted annually to a living architect for his or her contributions to society. The choice of Ban, a well-regarded architect at Kyoto University of Art and Design who’s become known for disaster-relief projects, eases at least one of the criticisms the Pritzker jury has received in recent years; that is, the award has become focused on male starchitects, to the detriment of the award’s ambitions to recognize humanitarian architecture practices, especially among women. (It wasn’t until 2004 that the organization granted an award to a woman, with the honor going to Zaha Hadid.)”
Alison D. Gilbert‘s insight:
Shigeru Ban is a man who is an architect for the people not just part of that elite group of bow tied (males). Architects were considered something for the wealthy only. Ban has been involved in numerous disaster relief projects besides condos and other prestigious work.
