New York's Best Summer Art Shows Are Upstate
I've gone through the entire list and visited several shows in advance. Listed below, under the heading 'Highlights,' are nine of my favorites, destinations that I'd recommend organizing a day around. But I'd consider visiting an open art studio, too, one of more than 200 listed by the Foreland art center in Catskill, the Millbrook Arts Group and Upstate Open Studios.
You can also be part of a conversation and studio viewing with the collector Jack Shear (the widower of the great American painter and sculptor Ellsworth Kelly) in Spencertown, in Columbia County. And at the Spencertown Academy Arts Center, a show of second- and third-generation Gee's Bend quilters is worth a visit.
Glasshouse, in New Paltz, has a dedicated performance art series. At Storm King Art Center, the 500-acre outdoor museum in New Windsor, the artist Kevin Beasley will be staging music and dancing in front of his 100-foot-long work titled 'Proscenium.' And just like last year there will be a dance party fund-raiser for Noise for Now, a health care and reproductive rights nonprofit, at Assembly in Kingston.
One of the loveliest sites for a visit is the KinoSaito foundation in Verplanck, a converted former school building set up by the Japanese American Color Field painter Kikuo Saito before his death. There, in addition to a show of Saito's own paintings, you'll find an alluring collection of cross-cultural abstractions in the group show 'The Unknown and Its Poetics.' Other venues with interesting shows include the River Valley Arts Collective; 'Upstate Gnarly,' an annual group show in an artists' studio, with work by Judith Linhares, Carolee Schneemann and Nicola Tyson; Athens Cultural Center, with Polly Apfelbaum and other abstract artists; and 'So It Goes,' a colorful group show in the grand old wooden grain elevator of the Wassaic Project, an artists' residency center in Wassaic.

‘The Gilded Age': Jack Sells the Alarm Clock For $600,000, But How Much Is That Worth Today In 2025 Dollars?
If you watch The Gilded Age, then you're probably deeply invested in the journey of footman Jack Trotter (Ben Ahlers). First introduced as just a loyal servant in the Van Rhijn house all the way back in Season 1, he's since distinguished himself as an ambitious inventor. In The Gilded Age Season 2, Jack took it upon himself to design a better, more accurate alarm clock that wouldn't need grease for its gears. Buoyed by donations from his fellow staff and employers, he applied for a patent. In this season of the HBO show, however, Jack has partnered with Larry Russell (Harry Richardson) to sell the clock. **Spoilers for Season 3 Episode 4 'Marriage is a Gamble,' now streaming on HBO MAX** Jack finally sells his alarm clock in The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 4 'Marriage is a Gamble.' Not only that, but he and Larry manage to sell the clock and its patent for a whopping $600,000. Okay, based on Jack's dumbstruck reaction, we're guessing that sum was worth way more than it is today. Apparently, even if the young men split the sale both ways, they're both sitting pretty with $300k in 1880s money. But how much did Jack sell the clock for in today's money? What's the conversion rate for 1883 dollar to 2025? How much was $300,000 even worth in The Gilded Age? Here's everything you need to know about how much Jack Trotter sold the alarm clock for… The Gilded Age: How Much Does Jack Sell the Alarm Clock for? How Much is $600,000 in the 1880s Worth in Today's Dollars? Trying to figure out just how rich Jack the footman is now? Wondering what $600k or $300k translates to in today's dollars? The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the dollar is worth 31.83 times what it was in 1883. Which means you should theoretically be able to just multiply 300,000 by 31.83 to figure out how much money Mr. Trotter is actually taking home to the servants' quarters. According to our calculations, Jack made approximately $9,549,000 in just one day by selling the patent to his alarm clock. However, for the sake of argument, let's round that up to $10 million. (Also, let's be real: money spread further in the 1800s!) So the whole kit and caboodle sold somewhere close to $20 million. So while Jack might not technically be a millionaire in the Gilded Age sense of the word, he would be a millionaire in today's market. He also does not have to keep his day job. If you were at any point worried — like my own mother was! — that Larry was planning to cheat poor Jack out of his share of the money, rest assured that the younger Mr. Russell only ever had the best intentions. When DECIDER asked Gilded Age star Harry Richardson what Larry's happier about, making the business deal for himself or for Jack, he said, 'I think it's both.' 'I think that's why I really love the way that it's been written,' Richardson said. 'He says, 'When I'm finished with you, you'll have your own footman.' He's really excited about the expansion of this young man's life as well as his own. ' Okay, but how is Aunt Agnes (Christine Baranski) and the rest of the Van Rhijn/Brook household going to handle the news that their favorite footman is now potentially wealthier than they are?

US tech CEO in viral Coldplay concert video resigns
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron resigned after a viral video showed him and an alleged colleague embracing at a Coldplay concert. The incident led to relentless memes and sparked discussions about workplace relationships and accountability. Internet sleuths and social media amplified the controversy, with mascots even recreating the moment for laughs. The CEO of an American tech company resigned Saturday after a video of him embracing an alleged colleague at a Coldplay concert went viral and fueled relentless memes. 'Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability, and recently, that standard was not met,' New York-based Astronomer said in a statement shared on LinkedIn. 'Andy Byron has tendered his resignation,' the firm said, after previously launching an investigation. During a Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, the jumbotron zoomed in on a man and a woman embracing in the stands. But the canoodling pair appeared shocked and horrified when they spotted themselves on the big screen, with the man ducking out of frame and the woman hiding her face. 'Uh-oh, what? Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy,' joked Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. Within hours, internet sleuths tracked down the man as Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and said the woman was the company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, alleging that the two were having a not-so-discreet affair. The video has garnered millions of views on TikTok and other social media, giving rise to memes discussing everything from the folly of having an affair at a Coldplay concert to the hypocrisy of an HR representative seemingly caught in a workplace relationship. 'The craziest thing about the Astronomer CEO cheating scandal is that it was the HR lady,' said one X user. 'The person who would warn you against fraternising with coworkers.' Furry mascots of the Philadelphia Phillies Major League Baseball team jumped on the trend and recreated the scene for the jumbotron at a game after the video went viral. However, an apology statement attributed to Byron, which spread rapidly online, was fake and appeared to have originated from a parody account.
