Experiencing a spectrum of emotions during art fair season is common, and you’re certainly not the only one feeling this way. In the latest installment of Art Problems, Paddy Johnson addresses a common dilemma faced by artists during the bustling spring and fall seasons: Is attending art fairs truly necessary?
In today’s edition, we also feature an interview with Diné shepherd and artist Nikyle Begay. His dedication lies in restoring historically overlooked weaving patterns while advocating for traditional Navajo Charro flocks. More insights are provided below, including details on this year’s Guggenheim Fellowship cohort, the impending closure of CUNY’s cherished Social Practice art program, and the long-overdue acknowledgment of Flemish Baroque artist Michaelina Wautier.
Additionally, we invite you to join us today from 3–4pm EDT for a discussion between Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia and MacArthur “Genius Grant” honoree Tonika Lewis Johnson. Her work inspires entire communities by confronting racial segregation. Become a Hyperallergic Member to participate in this engaging event!
