| Christine Sun Kim “makes the air hum with the previously unperceived dimensions of ordinary things,” as Associate Editor Lisa Yin Zhang writes. Read her review of the artist’s Whitney survey, which slices through the many layers of communication — from American Sign Language to musical notation — to destabilize it entirely. Over in the East Village, Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad lingers on the works of late Haitian-American artist Paul Gardère, whose story and spirit live on in the personal touch each of his canvases bears. And in a very different corner of New York, the trial of Luigi Mangione draws sketch artists to the courtroom. Check out our report below on artist Jane Rosenberg’s pastel drawings of the scene and defendant, thick eyebrows and all, plus dispatches from LA’s art fairs held in the wake of last month’s wildfires and a review of artist Setsuko’s regal feline sculptures whose magnificence even I, a dachshund diehard, cannot deny. And, as always, there’s more. — Lakshmi Rivera Amin, Associate Editor | | |
