After the Brooklyn Museum turned down thousands of applicants to its open-call show, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition decided to organize its own exhibition.
Happy Friday! After the Brooklyn Museum turned down thousands of applicants to its open-call show, the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition decided to organize its own exhibition. Read News Editor Valentina Di Liscia’s report on the forthcoming Salon des Refusés 2024, a nod to the 1863 show comprising Paris Salon “rejects” like Édouard Manet and Camille Pissarro. There’s more below, as ever, including artist Hema Shironi’s quilted confrontations with the Sri Lankan flag and Required Reading. You can also start your morning with a visit to three artists’ studios in A View From the Easel, complete with color wheels, India ink, and string. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor | |
