As summer draws near and the world continues to open up, this weekend’s contributors present an array of shows from across the country and the ocean. In Delaware, John Yau reviews Yikui (Coy) Gu, and in Salt Lake City, Alexandra Karl checks out Utah performance art legend Alex Caldiero. In London, Michael Glover considers a retrospective of Eileen Agar, and Mengyun Han looks at Sanya Kantarovsky. Closer to home, John Yau considers Terry Winters’s show in New York.

Diverse in style, these artists also chart a range of perspectives, emotions, and responses to their respective worlds, whether it’s Gu’s pointed takes on overt and insidious racism, or Agar’s mid-20th-century explorations of Surrealist tropes. Also featured is Kate Silzer’s review of Emily Segal’s autofiction novel Mercury Retrograde, which delves into “the disorienting, all-too-human experience of not knowing.”
