  03-12-2021 21:18 via artnews.com
  
  It’s easy to think of illness and disability as simply a failure or lack caused by or located within an individual’s body, rather than a condition that is also often produced systemically and inequitably—whether through a health care system that discourages uninsured people from receiving preventive care or by environmental pollution in low-income communities. Racism and capitalism help produce disability.
  Doreen Garner’s huge, haunting sculptures make this last fact unav

• Post-Conquest Aztec Altar Found in Mexico on 500th Anniversary of Spain’s Invasion

  03-12-2021 20:56 via artnews.com
  
  When Hernan Cortes invaded Mexico in 1521, it heralded the end of an era for the Aztec people. But that empire was not finished all at once, and according to the BBC, a new archaeological find shows that some Aztecs managed to continue living after the Spanish arrived.
  Earlier this week, Mexican officials announced that they found an altar formed by a family that survived the initial Spanish invasion. The altar was discovered quite deep underground. Archaeologist Mara Becerra told the BBC that s

• Rijksmuseum Plans Largest Vermeer Exhibition Ever for 2023

  03-12-2021 20:38 via artnews.com
  
  It isn’t uncommon for museums around the world to stage an exhibition devoted to painter Johannes Vermeer, whose intimate scenes of the 17-century Dutch life have fascinated for centuries. It is rare, however, when many of his surviving paintings—around 35—will be reunited in the artist’s home country for a major exhibition. That’s what will happen in spring 2023 when the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam mounts one such show.
  Not only will this Vermeer exhibition be the fir

  Over the years, Jeff Koons has faced a series of lawsuits over his appropriation of others’ work in his own art about consumerism and desire.
