Last week, we gave you the rundown on art to see in Upstate New York, but we’re taking it back to the city this Tuesday with recommendations for 15 NYC exhibitions to check out before summer’s end. Featuring Pacita Abad, Suchitra Mattai, Peter Hujar, and even Paul McCartney, Hyperallergic editor Lisa Yin Zhang has the scoop on shows in all five boroughs in our latest seasonal guide.
What else is new? Cynthia Carr has a great biography out about Candy Darling, the Warhol actress, trans icon, and downtown New York darling whose life was tragically cut short by lymphoma at age 29. In her review for Hyperallergic, Alexis Clements calls Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar an “extremely well-researched and deeply empathetic” book that “offers a rich and nuanced portrait of what it took to fly in the face of [a discriminatory] society, and to do so with great style and flourish.”
Lastly, while Pride Month may technically be “over” come July, we all know Pride is forever. So go on and treat yourself to interviews with queer and trans art world trailblazers Deborah Bright, Carrie Yamaoka, Kay Turner, and Ari Moore, who told us of their life’s journeys in New York City and Buffalo.
