(I may or may not have dedicated an hour to zit vids in the very recent past.) Sandra Lee, a dermatologist, has turned her science into art, posting \u201cextraction\u201d videos and picking up 850,000 subscribers along the way: \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/nymag.com\/thecut\/2016\/03\/sandra-lee-pimple-popping-dermatologist.htmlhttp:\/\/nymag.com\/thecut\/2016\/03\/sandra-lee-pimple-popping-dermatologist.html\" target=\"_blank\">Sensing an untapped audience, Lee began posting more videos of things popping from the skin, and her audience gradually grew<\/a> \u2026 Her online fans didn\u2019t seem to mind the ick; in fact, many of them relished it. Some fans reported that their mouths inexplicably watered when they saw a particularly juicy pop; others claimed that they found the videos so soothing that they used them as a sleep aid. Lee began setting videos to punnily titled music, like Duke Ellington\u2019s \u2018Just Squeeze Me (But Please Don\u2019t Tease Me).\u2019 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theawl.com\/2016\/03\/a-poem-by-dorothea-lasky-2\" target=\"_blank\">Milking the rest of it<\/a>,\u201d a new poem by Dorothea Lasky, is rich in bodily fluids, too: \u201cTurn the faucet on \/ Turn the breast on \/ Emptied completely of milk \/ With the tiny hoses in a row \u2026 \u201d<\/li>\n<li>The photographer Kurt Klagsbrunn captured the people of midcentury Rio as no one else could: as a stranger. Ali Pechman writes\u2014\u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/aperture.org\/blog\/outsider-rio\/\" target=\"_blank\">A Jewish Austrian refugee, he arrived in the city in 1940 and photographed its people and places until 1960, the year the government decamped for Bras\u00edlia<\/a> \u2026 He took no less than 100,000 photographs of his new city. The austerity of his early pictures quickly gives way to crowded street scenes with a focus on character, whether a trolley fish seller, a carnival samba dancer, or a Carioca walking her dog in Copacabana. A chic young journalist eyes the camera suspiciously as two white-coated waiters dote on her; a grisly greengrocer looks on tiredly from inside his shop \u2026 The photographer\u2019s own off-kilter sense of humor is never out of sight.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in critical shrugs: a critic shrugs. That critic is Barry Schwabsky, who understands the degree to which his role is in flux: \u201cI have to admit that the critic\u2019s loss of power doesn\u2019t worry me much. I don\u2019t see my job as mainly that of making or breaking artists\u2019 reputations, or of informing collectors or curators what they ought to buy or exhibit. If they don\u2019t listen to me, fine; I have other responsibilities toward art \u2026 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenation.com\/article\/a-critics-job-of-work\/\" target=\"_blank\">If there is a crisis in art criticism, it has to do instead with an inner transformation in the nature of art itself<\/a>. What if art no longer requires a public\u2014that is, someone like the active spectator Duchamp spoke about? That would be a conundrum, for the critic would no longer have a position from which to evaluate art. It\u2019s not impossible, and it\u2019s not even a new idea: Back in 1966, for example, Allan Kaprow called for \u201cthe elimination of the audience\u201d\u2014for participation rather than a merely \u201cempathic response.\u201d In recent years, in great part as a result of their revulsion toward the financialization and globalization of art, more and more artists have been taking this idea seriously, avoiding the audience and instead working only with participants, with collaborators and communities.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Meanwhile, in China: everyone is really into this rom-com about a mermaid. It\u2019s called, appropriately enough, <em>The Mermaid<\/em>, and it\u2019s just become China\u2019s highest-earning film of all time. How, you ask? One word, my friend: environmentalism. \u201c<em>The Mermaid\u00a0<\/em>is not pure escapist entertainment. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vice.com\/read\/why-is-everyone-in-china-flipping-out-over-a-rom-com-about-a-mermaid?utm_source=vicetwitterus\" target=\"_blank\">The ills it addresses\u2014environmental pollution and rampant speculation against the backdrop of a widening income gap\u2014are impossible-to-ignore facts of everyday experience for a Chinese audience<\/a>. The film opens with a montage of documentary-style footage: sludge pouring from factory pipes, oil-smothered animals, dolphins being herded up for slaughter \u2026 \u00a0It serves a cathartic function, providing an anxious Chinese audience with an opportunity to laugh at their daily injustices, pairing an everyday violation with a larger dose of fairy tale, one in which everything will work out in the end.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in zits: if you like to spend your free time watching grotesque pimple-popping sessions on YouTube, you\u2019re not alone.
