| It seems like time is on the mind this week — though maybe that’s just the collective anxiety of the looming tax deadline talking. (That’s today, by the way — and please don’t shoot the messenger.) Speaking of things costing a whole bunch of money, the nearly century-old Frick Collection is reopening this Thursday! It’s sumptuous, gilded, stuffed to the gills with paintings straight out of any Western art history textbook … and the same old attempt to rewrite the deeply exploitative actions of one of our country’s most infamous robber barons, as Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian writes. Aaron Gilbert’s show at Gladstone Gallery, which Vartanian also reviews this week, also focuses on time: How do we break free of it, and of capitalism’s perpetual obsession with growth? Reinvent yourself constantly, maybe, like Weegee does at the International Center of Photography, as Julia Curl writes. Dream it, like Vladimir Tatlin did, as seen at the Ukrainian Museum and reviewed by yours truly — don’t miss your last chance to see that, by the way. Or, as Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad puts it in her piece on a show of giant women artists, put your foot through the whole damn thing. — Lisa Yin Zhang, Associate Editor | | |
