Ahead of the premiere of Alien: Earth on Aug. 12,…

Accusatory in tone, this show at ΕΜΣΤ Αthens frames the mainstream animal rights debate within a wider context of human conflict Distinguishing itself from the current fashion for big exhibitions that celebrate a holistic view of humanity’s ‘entanglement’ with nonhuman entities and ecosystems, Why Look at Animals? offers a narrower rhetorical starting point, that of the ethics of human society’s relationship to animals. Borrowing its title from art critic John Berger’s polemical 1977 essay ‘Why Look at Animals?’, this huge show, curated by EMST’s director Katerina Gregos and assembling sixty or so artists, draws on Berger’s preoccupation with looking and…

Superpowered spies seem like the kind of thing that Hollywood would gladly cook up to try and cash in on the public’s fascination with the paranormal (not to mention the box office success of superhero movies as of the 2010s). And, funnily enough, it’s actually something that Hollywood has already done; psychic spies are the main focus of the 2009 film “The Men Who Stare at Goats.” Advertisement But, here’s…

The body of a child found in Skhul Cave in northern Israel from 140,000 years ago changes everything we tend to think about early humans, mainly that they were a horrible lot, says Prof. Israel Hershkovitz of Tel Aviv University, director of the excavation in Skhul Cave with Anne Dambricourt-Malassé of the French National Centre for Scientific Research.
