Five leaders of cultural L.A. weigh the city's past, progress and its potential - Los Angeles Times - (USA)
THE ARTS COMMUNITY IN LOS ANGELES has always seemed to exist somewhere in the shadows of the glitz, glamour and even scandals of the Hollywood entertainment world. But with the opening of the Getty Center, Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Broad Contemporary Art Museum, the appointment of conductor Gustavo Dudamel to the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the numerous theater world-premiere offerings and the emergence of the Los Angeles Opera, the "city of the future" is once again trying to establish itself as an internationally recognized cultural center. To explore these changes and discuss the challenges and issues facing arts institutions, The Times recently brought together the leaders of five major institutions in the city. Participating in the roundtable with Times editors and writers were: Deborah Borda, president and chief executive of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Assn.; Plácido Domingo, general director of Los Angeles Opera; Michael Govan, director and chief executive of...

What’s So Financially Non-Viable about a Table with a Tablecloth and some Meat Soup - (USA)
TAMPERE, FINLAND-Wednesday 5th August, 2009.It is not every day one finds oneself on a train, heading north out of Helsinki. Just such a day is this.

I order some meat soup.“What sort of meat is it?”“It’s… hmm? I don’t know.”“Just say it in Finnish.”She says something strange. Then makes a mooing
