Among our stories and reviews today: rare portraits of Japanese Kabuki actors at the Art Institute of Chicago, a new documentary following the work of New York City psychics, the shortcomings of a recently released primer on contemporary feminist art, recommended exhibitions in Washington, DC, this fall, and a one-on-one conversation with Indigenous artist and choreographer Tanya Lukin Linklater. In the news, a Columbia University sculpture is doused with fake blood, while across town Cooper Union college surprises its students with free tuition. And there's more!
