The CULTURE This month’s chic list
ART GOES VIRTUAL
Advances in technology have brought with it many perks, not least of which is the fact that we can now enjoy our art virtually—a godsend for art buffs looking for a little sustenance while stranded at home. With the Google Arts & Culture app (available for free download on Android and iOS), you can wander around in over 2,000 museums worldwide, exploring their exhibits in) campaign, #ArtInMyCity, which shines the light on the art scene in a different city every week. On the home front, contemporary art gallery Ode To Art recently held its first online charity auction, raising $60,600 for low-income families affected by Covid-19. It is heartening to note that several pieces—such as French artist Patrick Rubinstein’s People & Brand (Audrey Hepburn), and Chinese artist and sculptor Wu Qiong’s Rhinoceros in Love—went for well above the gallery price.
