Hi there - I’m the author of this obituary, which linked to one of our pieces about Kusama’s racist comments. Thanks for bringing to this to our attention - I’ve added the link to Thomas’s piece, now, too.

“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...

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 ...

It’s one thing to have to pay 50 cents for milk in your coffee. It’s another degree of humiliation altogether to have it be called a “Special Splash”…

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.

Five Venezuelan artists in the diaspora shared their thoughts with us in the aftermath of the US attacks. We are trying to reach artists in Venezuela, but many are afraid to speak. If you’d like to speak confidentially, you can reach me on Signal: valentinadl.67 hyperallergic.com/five-venezue...

Five Venezuelan Artists Respond to US Attacks
Artists and art workers in the diaspora shared a mix of emotions, from hope of a better future to anger over the unsanctioned intervention and fear of what’s to come.

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

There are very good sources on the death toll in Palestine, including pro-Israel ones. They don’t deny the killings. The statistics are not in question.

It more than bothers me. What Hamas did horrifies me. But Israel has now killed approximately 70,000 people, including children. No allegiance to a government, a religion, or a vengeance is worth those precious lives.

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-...
