Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus) unites a classical portrayal of Christ with a shape that only exists in mathematical theory. Dalí’s floating cross is what Banchoff describes as “an unfolded four-dimensional cube”. In a 2012 lecture given at the Dalí Museum, Banchoff explains how the artist was trying to use “something from a three-dimensional world and take it beyond… The exercise of the whole thing was to do two perspectives at once – two superimposed crosses.”

All across Europe, thousands of museums, galleries and archives are digitizing their collections - creating virtual copies of their texts, imagery and objects that can be stored on local servers or in the cloud. Once these collections are made public online, we work hard to make sure other people can find and use them. For change. For ideas. For progress.

A photography project which shows women wearing a cow mask and asks the politically explosive question - whether women are less important than cattle in India - has gone viral in the country and earned its 23-year-old photographer the ire of Hindu nationalist trolls. "I am perturbed by the fact that in my country, cows are considered more important than a woman, that it takes much longer for a woman who is raped or assaulted to get justice than for a cow which many Hindus consider a sacred animal," Delhi-based photographer Sujatro Ghosh told the BBC. India is often in the news for crimes against women and, according to government statistics, a rape is reported every 15 minutes. "These cases go on for years in the courts before the guilty are punished, whereas when a cow is slaughtered, Hindu extremist groups immediately go and kill or beat up whoever they suspect of slaughter."

Lightning Strikes Twice: Another Lost Jacob Lawrence Surfaces

Peabody Essex show leads to ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ discovery of a missing painting. One driving ambition curators at the Peabody Essex Museum had as they began assembling “Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle,” was that the landmark traveling exhibition would help uncover a handful of paintings that have fallen from public view in the decades since the original series of 30 works was last exhibited. Curators realized part of that dream Wednesday, when the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where the exhibition is currently on view, added Panel 16 to the show after a Manhattan couple stepped forward with the painting they had quietly owned for more than half a century.

Cyclorama - The Multi-Media Presentation of the Day..

What, exactly, do you do with a 130-year-old work of art, myth making and Civil War history that is longer than a football field, more than 40 feet tall and urgently in need of a new home? This city is finding out. After decades of deepening disrepair and disinterest in the painting commonly known as the Atlanta Cyclorama, workers this month are moving the panorama as part of a $35 million plan to rescue and maintain a titanic, deteriorating example of an art form that has mostly disappeared.
