The courtyard of MoMA PS1 in Queens was filled with energy during the opening of Greater New York on Wednesday night, marking its sixth iteration. Our team reports on initial impressions from this expansive exhibition featuring over 50 emerging artists from New York City. Discover more insights below, including Matt Stromberg’s exploration of LACMA’s revamped building, a feature on Lebanese performance artist Rawya El Chab, a critique of Winnie Wong’s latest book about Canton trade portraitists and the Western fascination with the concept of the lone genius artist, along with our Required Reading and Art Movement sections showcasing the latest updates in our field and beyond. Thank you for your continued support. —Lakshmi Rivera Amin, associate editor
Visitors to LACMA’s new building will find themselves navigating an open plan that encourages personal exploration. While some might feel disoriented by the fluid layout and lack of traditional structure, others will appreciate the opportunity to chart their own course through the museum’s offerings.
