But Short is also responsible for such indelible, vaguely disquieting weirdos as the cross-eyed Vegas entertainer Jackie Rogers Jr. (a blend of Liza Minnelli and Sammy Davis Jr.) and that unctuous butterball Jiminy Glick, a fact-deprived Hollywood gossip gadfly modeled after syndicated '70s gossip show host Skip E. Lowe.
This is the disquieting context into which the conductor Gustavo Dudamel, that troubled nation's most famous high-culture export, and his grinning, charming Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela arrived in New York this week to open Carnegie Hall's season with three concerts, starting with a gala performance on Thursday.
Grown-ups gather at a tent that sells pumpkin spice ale and hard cider before heading to a two-story spider web, a carousel of skeletal horses, and a covered bridge where bats flicker blue in synchrony with the disquieting soundtrack and whooshing wind of the Headless Horseman galloping by.
Taken together, the new requirements would essentially force players, parents, and the youth football industry to further acknowledge two disquieting things: that the sport can be harmful to the brain the way boxing is harmful to the brain, even for its youngest participants, and that those same participants are uniquely at risk.
Each year the intelligence community puts together a "Worldwide Threat Assessment" report, and it inevitably scares the hell out of Congress and the public by detailing all the dangers facing the U.S. (Hint: there are a lot of them.) This year's report, published Thursday and discussed at a congressional hearing, makes for particularly disquieting reading.
The word conjures the nightmare of an adolescent dress rehearsal for a marriage proposal — one of those disquieting, viral-baiting marriage proposals where (typically) guys arrange some dastardly stunt (simulated plane crash, surprise "Today" show appearance) in a bid to shock and awe their (typically) female targets into signing over their lives on the spot.
Its creators should win not just for the exactitude of the show, not just for its subtle humor and disquieting drama, and not just for the way the finale neatly wraps up six seasons worth of drama—but also for giving American viewers a deep understanding of Soviet thinking that's more relevant than ever.
But in 2011, Republican lawmakers in the Alabama Legislature included a disquieting provision in an already controversial bill: Under the banner of preventing voter fraud, the state followed several others in introducing a voter ID law that would require residents to present certain forms of government-issued identification in order to cast a ballot.
But those overtures point up a disquieting fear about his bid to defeat Trump: He may well perpetuate the fallacies of elite comity that marked his early career—and that continue to animate Democratic strategies to win back voters who are not as yet scandalized by the racist and misogynist rabble-rousing that is Trumpism.
And therein lies the seductive appeal of breastfeeding supplement brands: More than well-meaning relatives and friends and lactation consultants who can't help but contribute to the disquieting sense that you've failed as a mother, the lactation supplement companies seem to be the only ones that know the truth about breastfeeding, at least as I experienced it.
The BBC has compiled a menu of vaguely disquieting recipes for Boxing Day brunch, including Christmas cake soufflés, cheesy sprout fondue, and "ham and watercress salad with clementine dressing" — plus several dishes involving mincemeat, which, in case you aren't familiar, is made of chopped fruit and spices and is used to repair buildings in war-torn countries.
If it is disquieting to see Chinese Americans in opposition to policies meant to benefit students of color who have historically been shut out of the promise of higher education, activists like the Wangs and Zhao firmly believe their work to undo one of the remaining legacies of the civil rights movement is actually a step toward real equality.
"That they found new vulnerabilities is disquieting, but probably not surprising, because the people who have looked at these systems over the years have always been very critical of the standards and the software coding in the architecture of these systems," Susan Greenhalgh, an elections specialist at the voting equipment watchdog Verified Voting, told BuzzFeed News.
With the European Union in peril, Russia extending its reach, and authoritarian nationalists seducing the disaffected, Martin's study of "totalitarian internationalism" turns out to be precisely the sort of history we need at this particular moment: a deft and disquieting account of how easily the noblest of liberal principles may be hollowed out and swiftly renovated for darker purpose.
The disquieting qualities of Soutine's still lifes are plain as day in the incredible array of more than 30 paintings on view in Chaim Soutine: Flesh at the Jewish Museum, and will be the subject of a conversation there on Thursday night between artists Angela Dufresne, Josephine Halvorson, and Judith Linhares, with Hyperallergic Weekend Editor John Yau moderating.
The eight-episode arc, based on the controlled burn of a novel by Gillian Flynn ("Gone Girl"), marks a departure of another sort, too — Ms. Adams's performance, as a hard-drinking, self-cutting journalist who returns to her provincial hometown to cover a series of mysterious murders, is among the most desolate and disquieting of her career.
Looking at "Henry Ford Hospital (Flying Bed)," a portrait of the artist lying naked in her own blood, Stahr writes, "viewers, particularly those steeped in the Catholic imagery of a crucified Christ," would have known that Kahlo "was referencing this image of suffering" in her disquieting version of a retablo painting, set against a frieze of Detroit's factories.
Wacker's "Two Heads" (19252), depicting the aforementioned bust and a childlike drawing of a face, is differently disquieting, as are Scharl's paintings "The Uniform" (21940) and "Gala-Uniform" (21940), both of uniformed soldiers with blank eyes, rendered through zones of solid color and thick lines; in the former, the uniform's linear and chevron pattern doubles as a skeleton.
Photographs from that initial collaboration have become famous in world visual culture, perhaps none more so than the classical yet disquieting portrait of the Lusetti family — Strand's 1953 photograph that graced the cover of both editions of "Un Paese" — in which a woman stands in a farmhouse doorway with her five adult sons who are sitting and leaning, some of them barefoot.
Aided by the ever-so-sightly futuristic production design of Katharina Wöppermann — who fills the film with sterile hothouse settings lit by artificial grow-lights and populated by plant biologists in white lab coats and face masks — and abetted by the disquieting sound design of Erik Mischijew and Matz Müller, who layer jarring sound effects — is that a pack of barking dogs?
If this was a reflection of Obama's desire to elevate Trump, casting him as the guiding force of Republican politics for obvious political reasons, it was also a reflection of the disquieting reality that, as Talking Points Memo's Josh Marshall wrote recently, "Trump is not only not winning the primary race as of now but dominating the race like no non-incumbent has in modern history."
The combination of coronavirus and America's unaffordable housing system has resulted in a disquieting paradox: At the same time that public health officials are warning that staying at home, away from others, is essential to preventing the rapid transmission of coronavirus, huge swaths of Americans are finding it harder and harder to come up with the money needed to keep a roof over their heads.
These distortions along with the multiple perspectives fold yet another disquieting possibility into the work, the steady accumulation of which speaks to me of Greenwold's defiance: he refuses to make decorous works or to be coy about the indecorous when that, of course, is what the art world would prefer to see, however much they pay lip service to freedom of expression and artistic integrity.
From tall occult tales about Black Shuck, the Green Man, and Gogmagog to the sodden and scary novels of Benjamin Myers, Samuel Palmer's unsettling paintings of Shoreham to Ben Wheatley's luridly lysergic film A Field in England, there's long been a tradition of imbuing the pastoral ideal with a disquieting sense of paranoia—the countryside is squeezing in on you, always getting closer and closer.
I thought a lot about the book The Unsteady March, by Philip Klinkner and Rogers Smith, where they describe how if you grow up in a society where your group is privileged, and you experience that privilege in a way that seems basically natural because you're so steeped in it, your whole life is just structured around it; when any change comes about that threatens that privilege, it feels disquieting.
The second section is perhaps even more disquieting, despite the sublimity of its colors; scarred with biomorphic forms evocative of sandstone fossils (a chain-link fence makes an appearance as well), it could be read as intimating the ecological collapse of the ocean, a view made more convincing by "atomic 123," with its right side seeming to dissipate or petrify, followed by "atomic 08," moss-streaked, devoid of blue, and bone-dry.
The impending winter solstice hastened a disquieting horizon; Collins took the stage with a six-piece backing band, just as the sky went fully black at the suspiciously early time of 6 PM. A Decade Deeper—the comp and the concert alike—sold out well in advance, but the bodies trickled in with no urgency whatsoever (except for Collins's father, a guest of honor, who saw the concert, front to back, from a perch in the loft).
There are chilling moments here — Sewell and Horsdal are too talented to not make a meal of this storyline — but the longer it goes on, and the more the show leans into the idea of secret Nazi conspirators hoping to push Germany into war with Japan, the more it starts to feel like The Man in the High Castle is trying to take the disquieting ideas about Nazis from season one and push them back into a box that will remove them from any sort of relevance.
Here is the most disquieting section of the speech, one that must be read with Trump in mind: It's that spirit – a faith in reason, and enterprise, and the primacy of right over might, that allowed us to resist the lure of fascism and tyranny during the Great Depression, and build a post-World War II order with other democracies, an order based not just on military power or national affiliations but on principles – the rule of law, human rights, freedoms of religion, speech, assembly, and an independent press.
Good taste and the right amount of money was enough to obtain a wall-size trophy, or what Thomas Nozkowski called the "800 pound gorilla in the room" Not only was Stella's statement a misreading of Jasper Johns' "flags" and "targets," but it was a blanket denial of something as messy as meaning, as anarchic as humor, as mortifying as humans interacting with their bodies (scratching their dugs, for example), and as disquieting as ripe sexuality, all of which you are apt to find some aspect of in a Nilsson work.
At Frieze Masters, Frieze's sister fair devoted to work before 2000, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac took as inspiration George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984," which has been on best-seller lists again thanks to disquieting times in the U.K., Europe and the U.S. But Ropac presented a counterpoint to the Orwellian vision of progressive dehumanization, with artworks all made in 1984 that instead pointed to that year as a time of dynamism and creativity, including work by Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Robert Rauschenberg and Ilya Kabakov who, along with his wife Emilia, is being recognized with a big show at the Tate later this month and an ongoing retrospective at the Hirshhorn in Washington, D.C. The Brit duo Gilbert and George, who in 1984 were nominated for the very first Turner Prize, are included as well.
