At the Venice Biennale, Ukrainian Artists Examine the Many Realities of Russia’s War
via artnews.comIn the wake of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, civilians seemingly mobilized overnight. Weaving camouflage nets to shield Ukrainian defenders became one of the urgent tasks. In church basements and museums, these volunteers twisted together strips of dark fabric and rags.This action may seem like a smooth metaphor for a country coming together. But it disguised how complex this unity was, disuniform like the nets themselves—and how it has become even more so as the war stret -
Did the US Rig a Golden Lion Win? A New Documentary Revisits a Venice Biennale Scandal
via artnews.comEvery generation seems to get the scandalous, headline-grabbing art exhibition it deserves. The most recent one is Documenta 15 in 2022, which was so controversial that there may never be a future edition of the show in Kassel, Germany. There is also, of course, the 1993 Whitney Biennial, which introduced so-called identity politics into the mainstream discourse of art. Going back even further, there was the 1913 Armory Show in New York, the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874, and the 1865 P -

At 92 Years Old, Photorealist Painter Audrey Flack is Having a Moment
via artnews.comArs longa, vita brevis cautions the banner above Audrey Flack in her recent Self-Portrait with Flaming Heart (2022). The formidable nonagenarian artist, whose art career and life have in fact been enviably long (especially compared to the crowd of Abstract Expressionists she once rolled with), presents us with a Sacred Heart set afire. If one of her idols, Albrecht Dürer, could paint himself as Christ, then surely she can cast herself as the Virgin Mary, as she does here with her Star of Da -
Etel Adnan, Late Writer and Painter of Luminous Landscapes, is Honored with Google Doodle

The artwork—from the series known as Google Doodles—depicts the artist at her desk, paintbrush in hand, framed by the fruit of her 50-year-long career: painted interpretations of the sun, sea, and mountains as jewel-toned geometries; and a prodigious body of writing on the legacy of war, national and diasporic identity, and feminism in the Arabic-speaking wor -
Time for volunteers to get equal protection from sexual harassment | Brief letters
via theguardian.comEquality Act | Pop art | Horrifying sounds | Shower sharing | No fan of JacksonWhile it is good that sexual harassment is being added to the 2010 Equality Act this year, it will not cover volunteers (The world has changed. So why do businessmen still think they can harass women at work parties?, 4 April). In fact, the Equality Act only covers employees. Volunteers can be discriminated against or sexually harassed with no protection. It’s time they were included in the act.

The Birth of Impressionism Comes to Life in a Groundbreaking Exhibition in Paris

Taking Over the Australian Pavilion, Archie Moore Celebrates 2,400 Generations of First Nations People
via artnews.comUpon entering the box-shaped Australian Pavilion in the Giardini, the eyes slowly begin to adjust to the crepuscular light. What looks like a white mist slowly materializes on the black walls and envelops visitors.
