In queer photography news, the Getty Museum has included its first AI-generated image in an exhibition on the history of queer photography. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should some AI images be considered when curating physical artworks? xtramagazine.com/video/ai-gen.... #QueerArt #QueerPhotography #AIArt

Sad to hear that Eva, one half of the incredible duo Eva and Adele, has passed. Their life as art practice was a beautiful radical gesture that reimagined what gender, love, and presence could look like. A true original. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign... #artnews #evaandadele

Trans people staying visible is an important act. They’re stitching their stories into history with care and joy and defiance. At a time when the US government is trying to erase queer lives, this feels like something worth celebrating. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202... #translivesmatter

The 9,000-square foot “quilt” comes at a time when the Trump administration has sought to roll back transgender rights.

That’s awesome. Good on you. My husband has her cook books and I thought I’d try her croissant recipe once and then realized it takes something like 16 hours to make them.

The contributors to "Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen," edited by Neda Atanasoski & @nassimparvin.bsky.social , capture the ambivalence of new and emerging technologies that provoke a sense of creep. #CulturalStudies #CriticalEthnicStudies buff.ly/fpyRyYE

Cover of Technocreep and the Politics of Things Not Seen edited by Neda Atanasoski and Nassim Parvin. The cover has a contemporary art installation with black-and-white images projected onto cylindrical surfaces. The title is in bold pink letters and the subtitle is in white. The background has a modern aesthetic, with shadows and light adding depth to the image.

It’s so frustrating to watch this all happen like a slow motion car crash.

Whimsy’s never been my go-to—unless it’s wielded as a tool for subversion. With these artists involved, I have no doubt it’s doing exactly that. #art #losangeles www.theartnewspaper.com/2025/03/27/d...

Sadly, the reality is we have a choice between the centre-right and the far right. Voting for the left in this time, is a shoe-in for the far right. I’m not willing to risk this. I’ll hold my nose. The far right are fascists.

It’s exciting to see the growing recognition of African women artists in the global art market. It’s about time these amazing voices got their due — so much brilliance finally coming into focus. #womeninart #artmarket #africanart www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

If I could media blackout everything from the US I would. I wish all our cable providers would simply just completely cut off all US programming and have it all blocked on all social media and all internet. I am so sick of American popular culture. It’s a pile of shit.

My husband turns 40 today! Rick Kopfensteiner cares about people and always makes space at the table for others. He is a welcome reminder that good nature and impeccable manners never go out of style. Happy Birthday Ricky!

What are your thoughts on the ethics of an auction house selling AI work that was trained on real artist’s work without their knowledge, permission, or compensation? #art #ai #technology www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
