New YorkAugust 24, 2022 • View in browserUkrainian Women Artists Upend the Male-Centered War NarrativeWomen at War exposes the struggles that women of Eastern Europe have been undergoing for the last 60 years, in addition to the annihilation of Ukrainian heritage. | Nina Mdivani In addition to fighting a Russia that seeks to re-establish its political and ideological borders Ukrainian women artists are challenging Eastern Europe’s traditional patriarchal system. While their country has become a site of mourning, as every family accounts for its losses, Women at War focuses on individual visions of strength and defiance by the artists, who push for greater agency, and for an accurate historical record. NEWS THIS WEEK Museums across New York are now required to very visibly label Nazi-looted art under a new law.

Brooklyn, NY” (1980) (courtesy the artist and Bronx Museum of the Arts) Like the Waters We Rise City Lore’s latest exhibition collects recent print media made by Indigenous water protectors with images of activists at rallies over the last few years, intertwining creative labor with the direct action it inspires. Ignacio Gatica, Mariana Parisca, and Gabriella Torres-Ferrer: Money Has No Smell Rather than portraying an exchange for goods, Gatica, Parisca, and Torres-Ferrer depict money as inherently ideological and extractive, revealing how exploitation is always present even when not detectable.

ADDRESSING URBAN INEQUITIES Who Gets to Enjoy Green Spaces in NYC?Artist Mona Chalabi’s site-specific installation at the entrance to the Brooklyn Museum foregrounds the importance of urban vegetation and its inequities. | Jasmine Liu “The correlation between income and trees means that neighborhoods with more rich people, which are also the neighborhoods with more White people, have cleaner air,” she writes. “Doesn’t everyone deserve a little green shade, regardless of their race or income?” LATEST REVIEWS The Hidden Truths of Lou Reed’s Musical PoetryReed’s terse song-stories rely on humorous and torqued and poignant metaphors, and serve up pop cliches in order to turn them inside out and reveal hidden truths. | Tim Keane The exhibition’s most interesting subplots are Reed’s practices as a poet and literary figure. His showbiz persona as a protopunk Elvis to the underworld — mad, bad, and dangerous to interview — has long obscured the introspective versifier he was.
