The Smithsonian <\/strong>is facing an unusual leadership battle as several new nominees to its <strong>Board of Regents <\/strong>have yet to reach Congress amid tensions with the Trump administration, the <em>New York Times<\/em> reported. The 17-member board, which oversees the institution\u2019s strategy, finances, and governance, has traditionally operated independently of the <strong>White House<\/strong>, but the delay has raised questions over whether the administration is seeking greater influence over the museum network. The standoff follows a broader White House campaign criticizing Smithsonian exhibitions and historical framing, while Secretary <strong>Lonnie G. Bunch III <\/strong>has largely avoided confrontation and retained enough board support to remain in control. The Smithsonian, which receives significant federal funding, now faces pressure over both its governance and its relationship with the administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \"><strong>CUTTING EDGE.<\/strong><strong>Yoko Ono<\/strong>\u2019s landmark performance <em>Cut Piece<\/em> is being revisited at <strong>The Broad<\/strong> in Los Angeles, where artist <strong>MPA<\/strong> is staging new live interpretations of the 1964 work, the<em>Guardian<\/em>reported. More than six decades after Ono first invited audience members to cut away pieces of her clothing, the performance continues to raise questions about vulnerability, participation, and the relationship between artist and viewer. The revival also highlights the staying power of performance works that exist through repeated activation rather than a fixed object.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading larva \/\/   a-font-primary-bold-l   \"><strong>The Digest<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe <strong>Cincinnati Art Museum<\/strong> is opening its first <strong>Yayoi Kusama<\/strong><em>Infinity Mirror Room<\/em>, bringing one of the artist\u2019s immersive installations to the institution for the first time.
