Today's edition features a solid suite of reviews with highlights including a show about student protests at New York University, irreverent and sensual sculptures by Phyllida Barlow and Nicola L. in the UK, and an exhibition that sheds light on the once-thriving expat community of Black-American artists across Scandinavia in the first half of the 20th century.
In the news, what appears to be an anti-MAGA tiki torch sculpture emerges in Washington, DC, joining a mysterious turd "monument" from earlier this week. Also, artists in Los Angeles push back against a city plan to "beautify" RV encampments of unhoused people, and the Studio Museum in Harlem receives a massive gift from the Ford Foundation. Finally, check out our recommendations for art shows to visit in Upstate New York this November, if you're in that lovely area. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor
