Good morning. 🌤️ In yesterday’s newsletter, I expressed bafflement at the wide-scale vandalism of the Sculpture Space residency in Utica, NY this weekend. I wondered who would do that, and why? Well, today the story took another unexpected turn when police identified the vandals as five children between the ages of 8 and 11. Now I really don’t know what to say.
Also today, New York is seeking artists to decorate the city garbage trucks but won't pay them a single dime. Why?
There's more, including a list of must-see shows in Los Angeles this September, a photo essay about New York's post-pandemic drag scene, and other stories you shouldn't miss.
