And a little thought about what awaits us 2020 has tested everyone's strength and shown the need to adapt. We are faced with a new reality in which social contacts are reduced to a minimum, coffee and delicious food are only takeaway, and the only way to get outdoors is a walk to a nearby supermarket. However, despite all the destructiveness of the coronavirus, it gave us the opportunity to see another world - a world in which we were left alone with ourselves. Such loneliness prompted us to think more about ourselves and about what surrounds us. Think about what is really important. Such a period could not but be reflected in art, which always reacts to what is happening around. Time passes: cities, countries, empires are built and collapse. And only what the country was able to contribute to the treasury of world culture remains in memory. And this year will replenish the piggy bank. Art has changed this year - we realized the need for an online m Latest  Arts & ode, without which it would be impossible to hold lectures and exhibitions, presentations of products and services. Museums and galleries modernized websites, social networks, and began to launch Internet projects. Contemporary artists filmed performances and video projects dedicated to the new reality and life in it. Everyone adapted as best they could. In August, an anonymous billionaire ordered a mask from renowned Yvel jewelry brand Isaac Levy, which is being worked on by 25 Yvel jewelers in Israel. This is 250 grams of 18-carat gold, 3,600 black and white diamonds, and an N99 filter on top. “Money might not buy everything, but if it can buy a very expensive COVID-19 mask and a guy wants to put it on and walk around and get attention, then why not?” Levy told The Independent. Against this background, the work of the famous Briton Damian Hirst is recalled: a diamond-studded skull is one of the most expensive works of art by living artists. Banksy, a street-art artist known for his elusiveness, painted graffiti on the London Underground: black rats, symbolizing the struggle for survival, wearing medical masks, with an antiseptic and sneezing. In the same year, on October 21, at Sotheby's, a Banksy painting "Show Me Monet" was sold for $ 10 million in a record 8 minutes. And in our country there is a talented artist who ironically raises important acute social topics. This year, Pasha Kas published several performances, photos and video works on the topic of self-isolation and modern realities. In March, he installed an art object near a pharmacy: a road sign crossed out in red, which depicts our planet and the inscription "STOP COVID-19". The accompanying text on social networks said that you need to stop and start reflecting, thinking about your desires and actions. Also recommended for viewing are his summer works Child of the Earth/Child of the Earth, Doctors/Doctors and Self-solation. Kazakh cinema this year also did not go unnoticed. The film "18 kilohertz" by Kazakh director Farhat Sharipov won the Grand Prix at the 36th Warsaw International Film Festival. “18 kilohertz is a frequency of sound that adults cannot hear. The film is dedicated to the problems of teenagers. Growing up, every year, it becomes more and more difficult to understand the problems of the young, problems that seemed unsolvable when you yourself were a teenager. It is difficult to remember the power of fear, once in which it is so difficult to find a way out. With this film, I just wanted to remind you of all this,” Farhat Sharipov. https://tonaton.com/c_arts-and-entertainment-jobs
