And if you&#8217;re around this Wednesday, April 15, join MacArthur &#8220;Genius&#8221; grant winner Tonika Lewis Johnson and me for a virtual talk on her social practice art and unlearning the logic of segregation.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014Valentina Di Liscia, senior editor<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.ghost.io\/c\/51\/f8\/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/image-34-1.png\" class=\"kg-image\" alt loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\"><figcaption><span>From or by Marcel Duchamp or Rrose S\u00e9lavy, \u201cBox in a Valise\u201d (1935\u20131941) (photo Lisa Yin Zhang\/<\/span><i><em class=\"italic\">Hyperallergic<\/em><\/i><span>)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"marcel-duchamp-was-the-messenger-of-history\">Marcel Duchamp Was the Messenger of History<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cThe art world changed,\u201d scholar Thierry de Duve told us on the occasion of MoMA\u2019s new show. \u201cDuchamp\u2019s \u2018Fountain\u2019 is the message that brings us the news.\u201d | Lisa Yin Zhang<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"kg-card kg-cta-card kg-cta-bg-white kg-cta-immersive  kg-cta-has-img  \" data-layout=\"immersive\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-sponsor-label-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-sponsor-label\"><span>SPONSORED<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-cta-content\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-image-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.ghost.io\/c\/51\/f8\/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/1_Blank-and-Cold-Coffee-Corner--1-.jpg\" alt=\"CTA Image\" data-image-dimensions=\"1200x675\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-cta-content-inner\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-text\">\n<p><b><strong>In Kyoung Chun: Make Room<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Transparent houses, suspended structures, and intimate paintings serve as metaphors for belonging in this exhibition at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art at the College of Charleston.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>                            Learn more<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr>\n<h2 id=\"art-fairs\">Art Fairs <\/h2>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.ghost.io\/c\/51\/f8\/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/Regina-Jose---Galindo--_Primavera_-Democra--tica--Democratic-Spring--2025---image-by-Ela-Bittencourt---1-.jpg\" class=\"kg-image\" alt loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><figcaption><span>Regina Jose\u0301 Galindo, \u201cPrimavera Democra\u0301tica\u201d (\u201cDemocratic Spring\u201d) (2025), on view at the 22nd edition of SP-Arte (photo Ela Bittencourt\/<\/span><i><em class=\"italic\">Hyperallergic<\/em><\/i><span>)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"the-paradoxical-delights-of-south-america%E2%80%99s-biggest-art-fair\">The Paradoxical Delights of South America\u2019s Biggest Art Fair<\/h3>\n<p>The 22nd edition of SP-Arte in S\u00e3o Paulo stands at a global nexus, yet feels decidedly regional. | Ela Bittencourt<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"who-do-chicago%E2%80%99s-art-fairs-serve\">Who Do Chicago\u2019s Art Fairs Serve?<\/h3>\n<p>Expo Chicago and its orbit of shows reveal both the joys and pain points of the city\u2019s current creative environment. | Natalie Jenkins<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"process-is-the-point-at-ifpda-print-fair\">Process Is the Point at IFPDA Print Fair<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cPrint is a more democratic medium,\u201d said Temma Nanas of Leslie Sacks Gallery, one of around 80 global galleries returning to the Park Avenue Armory for the annual fair. | Aaron Short<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-brooklyn-fine-art-print-fair-has-taken-off-its-training-wheels\">The Brooklyn Fine Art Print Fair Has Taken Off Its Training Wheels<\/h3>\n<p>Shaking off any initial caution from last year\u2019s beta test, it has charged forward and made itself a space to showcase the radical history and present of printmaking. | Rhea Nayyar<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div class=\"kg-card kg-cta-card kg-cta-bg-white kg-cta-immersive  kg-cta-has-img  \" data-layout=\"immersive\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-sponsor-label-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-sponsor-label\"><span>SPONSORED<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-cta-content\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-image-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.ghost.io\/c\/51\/f8\/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a\/content\/images\/2026\/04\/Copy-of-9.jpg\" alt=\"CTA Image\" data-image-dimensions=\"1200x675\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"kg-cta-content-inner\">\n<div class=\"kg-cta-text\">\n<p><b><strong>Summer Marathons in Painting and Drawing at the New York Studio School<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span>Join an immersive, two-week session and transform your studio practice.
