Roses and Thorns of Greater New York
An artist on saying no to the US Biennale pavilion, Dumbo Open Studios turns 10, and the Rijksmuseum takes on Ovid’s magnum opus.
MoMA PS1’s massive survey of local artists, Greater New York, happens just once every five years, so it’s only natural that the show would stir strong emotions … including ambivalence. Read all about the works Hyperallergic loved, didn’t, and couldn’t make up their minds about, with contributions from Editor-in-Chief Hakim Bishara, Editor-at-Large Hrag Vartanian, Associate Editor Lisa Yin Zhang, and Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar.
In news, American-French sculptor Barbara Chase-Riboud speaks about her decision to decline an invitation to represent the US at the Venice Biennale as the pavilion — and its murky, Trump-friendly commissioning entity — come under intensifying scrutiny. As a reminder, if you’d like to send a confidential news tip, you may do so at tips@hyperallergic.com, or contact me or a reporter directly.
