Good morning. 🌧️ Happy Monday! Today, Art in Odd Places announces its "Dress" theme, Renée Reizman takes a whiff of an olfactory artist's study of scent, a rare painting believed to be by Brueghel the Younger is found, and we're still watching (at least so we can recap) MTV's The Exhibit: Finding the Next Great Artist and we have that report.
We will be hosting curator and scholar Kelli Morgan this Wednesday, March 15, at 6pm EDT, on Zoom to talk about how she cultivates care and empowerment in workers in the art community, as well as the audience for art. A part of our Emily Hall Tremaine Journalism Fellowship for Curators, please join Kelli Morgan and myself for the chat. Also, make sure to check out her recently published posts and exhibition, including the article published today that asks us to consider what happens in museums when portraits by non-White people are centered.
I'm still thinking about the ridiculous wax statues of two British Royals, Prince William and Kate Middleton, in Poland. I really can't stop laughing.
