| Bold Literary Debut Offers A Grittier Take On Erotic Fiction Posted: 23 Jan 2015 10:00 AM PST The Huffington Post  Culture Shift is a bi-weekly newsletter curated by the HuffPost Arts & Books editors. From literature to visual arts, poetry to performance, get your culture fix here. This week we're talking about street art cartography, a grittier take on erotic fiction, classic novels that didn't sit well with critics, and the emerging female artists you should know right now. 50 Ways To Map A City, According To Street And Graffiti Artists  "Street art is intrinsically bound to its neighborhood and location in a city. Context and placement are key. So when a street artist is asked to create art about mapping a place, it is fascinating to see how they perceive it and with what manner and medium they present it. In a new exhibition opening in London this month, the time honored study and practice of cartography ventures into the conceptual as well as the physical, and we find that for many artists the street is as much about poetry and perception as it is about aerosol and wheat-pasted paper."

Deepti Kapoor's debut novel smolders with the submerged rage, pain, abandonment and erotic desire that drive her heroine, Idha; it's a paean to a relationship already in ashes, and to a beloved now gone beyond recovery." (Read more here) 10 Badass Emerging Female Artists You Should Know  "We call it a good day when we learn about one new female artist toying with art and gender in radical new ways. Thanks to Judith Charles Gallery's exhibition, 'Immediate Female,' we're ogling the nuanced and gutsy works of no less than 10. The lady-centric exhibition thrives off the energy of this particular moment of feminist momentum that will never be the same again. The artists on view, varying in medium, style and perspective (though all are based in New York), tackle the challenge of making art as a woman today with a diverse array of techniques and flavors." (Read more here) These Classic Novels Didn't Always Sit Well With Critics  "The Goldfinch is just one recent example of a title that failed to garner the support of top reviewers, but charmed book lovers (not to mention the 2014 Pulitzer judges) nevertheless. Donna Tartt was preceded by a slew of talented writers whose works were initially snubbed by critics. Fitzgerald's Gatsby (y'know -- the Great one?) was originally panned as 'obviously unimportant,' and Brave New World was once said to be 'heavy-handed propaganda.' Yikes!" (Read more here) An Interview With Lynda Benglis, 'Heir To Pollock'  "At 73, Lynda Benglis is one of America's most significant living artists. She came of age in the male-dominated New York art scene of Warhol, LeWitt and Newman, transposing the vocabulary of Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism into sculptural works that oozed, dripped and twisted with the fullness of a body... But, to view her work principally as a reaction to the dominant art paradigms belies its own internal richness."(Read more here) The Book I Never Thought I'd Read With My Daughter  "If you had asked me what book my daughter and I would read together someday, I probably would have come up with Little Women. I'm confident that when I first read The Things They Carried, I never imagined that someday I'd be reading it alongside my middle-schooler and talking about things like dying and killing and suffering. As dark as the book can be, it's helped me to shed light on a time in American history that she knew little about, to open discussions about writing, and to pave the way for doing this again."
