Hello, Mastodon! A slightly late #introduction 👋 I'm Alena. I research and write about art, historic cities and the stories attached to objects and places, with a soft spot for the Middle East and North Africa. I lived in Istanbul for several years and now split my time between Doha, Dubai and Egypt. I co-founded Exhibo, a global art gallery and culture platform. Expect jinn, carpets, film deserts and the odd etymology. #ArtHistory #IslamicArt #Folklore #Museums

No One Is Accountable in Taryn Simon’s Detective Story

In her ambitious exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum, injustice seems purely systemic, not the result of individuals behaving badly.

This is a Ruckers mother-and-child virginal—a 17th-century keyboard instrument with a second, smaller instrument built into it, tuned an octave higher. The “child” could be pulled out to play duets or set on top of the “mother” to add a jangly, buzzing color to the main sound—a Renaissance-era layering trick, centuries before mixing desks. Antwerp instrument makers were doing this in the 1600s. @BrianRoemmele #globalmuseum #museums #musicalinstruments
