What is the Universal Society of Hinduism, you ask? Hard to say, as its website is currently down, and no posts have ever been published on its blog, but its Nevada-based president, Rajan Zed, keeps a very active website that describes the USH as a “nondenominational religious-philosophical-cultural-educational organization [that] aims at reaching about one billion Hindus spread around the world.” One of the most recent press releases on Zed’s site is titled “Upset Hindus urge withdrawal of goddess Kali mural from Brooklyn Museum.”

Brooklyn Museum
The New York Times reported yesterday that New York City is withholding payments this fiscal year into a pension system for many cultural centers with city contracts, such as the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Basically, the city is asking if the amount they have to pay into the retirement system has been overstated in the bookkeeping of these places.

It’s a flier created in response to the Brooklyn Museum’s decision to cancel the Art in the Streets street art/graffiti/skateboarding exhibition next year “due to the current financial climate”:
I live … across the street from the Brooklyn Museum. I was just cleaning out a pile of papers on my desk and saw this flyer I had saved. A few weeks ago I was walking my dog on Eastern Parkway and saw these fliers all up and down the stretch in front of the museum. I support my neighborhood musuem, but thought you guys might be interested in a snapshot before I threw it out.

Today, the Brooklyn Museum held a preview for Crossing Brooklyn: Art from Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, and Beyond, a survey of more than 100 artworks by 35 artists (or groups) who live or work in Brooklyn. The show feels like a culmination of sorts — or at least a mini-peak — in the museum’s recent efforts to ramp up its engagement with Brooklyn artists, after years of criticism that the institution was disconnected from the borough’s scene.
