Interview: Owen Kline on Archetypes and the Behavioral Humor of Funny Pages

Though Owen Kline’s famous pedigree immediately presents itself in his surname, the more pertinent parentage to Funny Pages is that of New York City’s repertory cinema scene. Shortly after his performance in Noah Baumbach’s The Squid and the Whale drew considerable acclaim, Kline opted to pursue visual art rather than dive deeper into acting. Between curatorial work at Anthology Film Archives and his exploration of creating underground comic art, a unique sensibility emerged. At the same t...

The birds flash around us; like knife-thrower tricks at a circus. Diving through the water, each is crowned in a diadem of bubbles. The shearwaters come from Antarctica, like the humpbacks, and also Siberia, South America, and Japan; they arrive in Australia, where they often die in large numbers from exhaustion. Such bird deaths, en mas...

David Wallace on The Arrow of Time

The arrow of time — all the ways in which the past differs from the future — is a fascinating subject because it connects everyday phenomena (memory, aging, cause and effect) to deep questions in physics and philosophy. At its heart is the fact that entropy increases over time, which in turn can be traced to special conditions in the early universe. David Wallace is one of the world’s leading philosophers working on the foundations of physics, including space and time as well as quantum mecha...
