Don’t forget: once upon a time, wifi was unavailable or prohibitively expensive in cruise ships. Park West Gallery could sell overpriced kitsch as smart investments to buzzed tourists and buyers couldn’t look up the actual resale value.

Philly is considering making Keith Haring’s 1987 “We the Youth” in Point Breeze the city’s first historically protected exterior mural. If any mural deserves this designation, Haring's does, says art curator RJ Rushmore. Maybe it shouldn’t be the only one we protect, either. bit.ly/4wQxQKQ

Should Philly’s #KeithHaring mural get landmark status? Should any mural? I say yes, the Historical Commission is considering it, but the Preservation Alliance has expressed doubt. More @thephilacitizen.bsky.social: thephiladelphiacitizen.org/guest-commen...

This is great *and* I feel like every news story about X needs to also say, “the social media network owned by SpaceX” the way people write “Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet.”

When architect Moseley Putney took down a wall in a mixed-use development in Louisville, he revealed a 1985 David Wojnarowicz mural. “I popped a hole in the drywall and ripped enough out that I could put a flashlight on it. And there it was,” Putney said. “It was like looking into a freakin’ tomb.”

Queer cowboy in particular. Orville Peck, Chappell Roan. Something about all of us seeing Brokeback Mountain as kids and wanting to claim space in a field that is stereotypically conservative? But yes, also there is SO MUCH of this and it is silly.

How can the National Gallery of Art exhibit this iconic and devastating sculpture by Felix González-Torres *without* discussing the AIDS crisis or queerness? Is the thought that maybe Ross just really liked candy?

The Smithsonian's queer erasure of an AIDS artwork should alarm us all

By omitting the tragic story behind Felix González-Torres "Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.), the National Gallery of Art is setting a perilous precedent, warns art scholar Ignacio Darnaude.
