You must’ve heard aboutDeepSeek, the Chinese AI model that rattled Western markets and humbled American tech oligarchs. Today, we test the app’s limits by asking it inconvenient questions about the county’s persecution of Ai Weiwei and other dissident artists. Read what the chatbot had to say in Isa Farfan’s report.
Last week, we reported that Donald Trump reinstated his laughable executive order to promote “beautiful federal civic architecture.” In an opinion piece today, historian Katherine Kelaidis explains how this decree flies in the face of Trump’s populist agenda. It’s worth a read. Meanwhile, the Smithsonian Institution closes its diversity office to comply with Trump’s policies, following in the footsteps of the National Gallery of Art in DC. What a time.
There’s more, including important tax advice for American artists and galleries, a list of the artists participating in the 2025 Made in LA Biennial, a new true crime documentary about our obsession with true crime, and more. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor | |

MEMBER COMMENT | Kathleen Mccloud on “My Small Gallery Lost Money at an Art Fair. It Hurt.” | Debra Brehmer’s reflection on the value- or not- of art fairs reminded me again of why I read and support Hyperallergic. Thank you for the voices we get to hear regarding the humans at work behind the scenes making and selling art rather than just the contemporary art rehash of who’s who and oh wow. And hats off to the Portrait Society- a gallery I follow on Instagram and whose vision I appreciate. |
