December 27 and 28th, 2014. Here is what coming up on the next Hyperallergic Weekend. John Yau explores the many worlds of Rudy Burckhardt, which encompassed photography, filmmaking, oil painting, collage, poetry and painting on mushrooms: “Although he is never emphatic, one senses his melancholic awareness of just how fleeting, and enchanting, everything is.” Thomas Micchelli provides an overview of the museum and gallery shows from the past year, which “registered the predictable number of highs and lows, though 2014 did manage to plumb one nadir unlikely to be matched for a good long time.” Lucas Fagen unwraps a sackful of Christmas albums, a genre “largely dismissed by mainstream rock critics, and with good reason.” The unlikely lineup includes Seth MacFarlane, Darius Rucker, Earth, Wind & Fire, Pentatonix, Idina Menzel, and Renee Fleming, who “should never ever ever touch the English language again.” And in Weekend Words: “They said, ‘You have a blue guitar / You do not play things as they are.”
