This week, two New York City museums are in the spotlight as the Strike MoMA protesters focused on the uprising in Colombia and the Whitney Museum voluntarily recognizes a new staff union.

If you’re itching to go out and look at art, check out Ella Bittencourt’s review of the Eva Hesse and Hannah Wilke two-person exhibition that she explains, turns out “attention to the subversive absurdity shared by both artists.”

Or read John Yau review of Liat Yossifor’s art, which he says, “invite viewers to see figural presences that never become pictorially apparent but are sensed throughout her work, in both their texture and the sensuous, linear shapes defined by swirling swaths of paint, the result of what the gallery press release calls ‘surrealist automatic drawing techniques.’”

There are also reviews of Alvin Armstrong and Christian Nyampeta.
