Why shouldn’t the Greeks have their marbles back? We proved we lost ours years ago
Antiquated excuses for keeping the sculptures are wearing thin after 12 years of Conservative cultural freezes In _The_ _Curse of Minerva_, his attack on Lord Elgin’s appropriation of the Parthenon marbles, Lord Byron imagined divine revenge by the goddess whose temple Elgin had raided – not only on the vandal himself but on Britain, the country that bought the peer’s “pilfered prey”. Elgin would suffer and Britain would one day find herself – it probably sounded far-fetched in 1811 – isolated, starving and impotent, “hated and alone”, her politics declining into ignominy. “Then in the Senates of your sinking state / Show me the man whose counsels may have weight.” Continue reading...

ABBA superfans flock to avatar show in London
Glammed up in satin knickerbockers, sequins and platform boots, ABBA fans streamed into a concert hall in east London Friday for the opening night of "ABBA Voyage", the Swedish supergroup's digital avatar show. Many had crossed continents and had bought tickets for multiple nights. "I've been a fan since 1975," said one woman, Roxanne Dixon, who wore sparkly "A" and "B" earrings, a gold-trimmed white satin tunic and gold boots. "I came from Australia just for this." "We came all the way from America and it was worth it," said Caleb Graham, 33, from Florida, he and his partner wearing matching black ABBA T-shirts. The concert show at a purpose-built 3,000-seat theatre features digital avatars, or "ABBAtars" performing hits from the 1970s and 1980s as well as songs released last year, when the septuagenarian former bandmates announced they had reunited to record a new album. After an invitation-only premiere Thursday -- attended by Sweden's King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia -- Friday was the first chance for ordinary fans to experience the hi-tech show. Ages varied from children to people old enough to remember ABBA first time round. "I just think it's incredible how, you know, ABBA draws people of all different walks of life together, all different ages," said Jordan Charlesworth, 27, a public health agency staff member wearing a sequinned one-piece. "It's close to the soundtrack of your life, isn't it, when you get to 56," said Sarah Armstrong in swirly turquoise trousers, who had come with her sister and daughter. The ambitious show is a hugely expensive project, with The Times reporting that ABBA need to recoup £140 million ($177 million, 165 million euros) to cover costs. Band member Bjorn Ulvaeus, 77, told AFP ahead of the premiere: "I know that this is one of the most daring projects that anyone has done in the music industry, ever." 'JAW-DROPPING' Concert-goers see a 90-minute show, with a dozen live musicians on stage backing up the avatars. It is set to run seven days a week until early October. The avatars are the product of a years-long project, designed in partnership with a special effects company founded by "Star Wars" creator George Lucas. Critics praised them after previous shows "resurrecting" dead performers have been slammed as unrealistic and creepy. This time, there was "nothing ghoulish", wrote The Times. The Guardian said the digital effects were a "triumph" and "the effect is genuinely jaw-dropping". Fans said they felt they had watched a live show. "It was amazing, so immersive, I really felt like they were there," said Dawn Waugh, 63, who was attending with her 26-year-old daughter. "It was the most wonderful feeling of being back in time," said another fan, Stan Papoulias, 56, originally from Greece. "I've been an ABBA fan for 45 years and I never thought I would see them in the flesh -- or something like that." © 2022 AFP

‘I woke up and he was on top of me’: six women on being abused by fashion agent Jean-Luc Brunel
The Frenchman killed himself in prison in February while awaiting trial for rape. Here, six former models speak out about him, his friend Jeffrey Epstein – and an industry that seemed to turn a blind eye In the autumn of 1985, 22-year-old Marianne Shine was invited to Paris to try her hand at modelling. A confident and academic young woman, she had graduated in classical art and archaeology from her college in Pennsylvania, having spent several summers in Greece on archaeological digs, and was excited to visit Europe again. Her Danish mother, a travel agent, and Hungarian father, a gynaecologist, encouraged her to go, convinced that the modelling agents there would take good care of her. But after six months of modelling in Paris, Shine returned home a different person. “Before Paris I was this playful, creative girl, but that part of me vanished,” she tells me now. Her mother found her a job at a travel agency in their suburb of New York, but Shine wasn’t interested. She says: “It was like this deadening. I couldn’t fall asleep at night, and then I couldn’t wake up in the morning. I could barely trudge through the day.” Continue reading...
