Amid the growing inequities of the pandemic, art workers, artists, and activists are continuing to push back against the grip of billionaires and corporations in arts institutions.

Also worth catching: Izumi Kato’s ethereal show at Perrotin, Chloe Wise’s painterly and pop culture-inflected critiques at Almine Rech, and so much more.
