“A curator of European paintings reflects on an ancient Mesopotamian sculpture; a researcher of Islamic art ponders a bust from a German-Austrian sculptor; and a managing editor is reminded of his own experiences in a municipal office” in a new book from The Met. hyperallergic.com/the-met-muse...

The Met Museum's Staff Have Some Thoughts About the Art
A new book gathers essays by the museum’s curators, researchers, librarians, and conservators on everything from Renaissance portraiture to the work of Wendy Red Star.

Apparently the Pope has read Baudrillard.
A tweet from Pope Leo XIV that reads: “When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.”

Mel Gibson pictured with his doctor in 2004
It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

Imagine being an artist who profited for decades from an exploitative system, ignoring the publications that have been reporting on it day in and day out, and then penning a self-righteous essay in an academic journal about how the art world needs to wake up. Oh wait ...

Rodolfo Walsh, the Argentine writer whose book “Operación masacre” (1957) is considered the first novel of investigative nonfiction (before Capote’s “In Cold Blood”), would have turned 99 yesterday if he hadn’t been shot and killed in Buenos Aires at the hands of the military dictatorship.

For artists, museum acquisitions are a major milestone. Young Joon Kwak told us the Leslie Lohman’s acquisition of her work, which addresses trans and nonbinary visibility, was “a way of saying we’re here, we’ve always been here, and we’re not going anywhere.” hyperallergic.com/15-landmark-...
