He’s guilty! Yes, what first seemed a sleepy, inconsequential trial concluded with a historic criminal conviction of a former US president.
He’s guilty! Yes, what first seemed a sleepy, inconsequential trial concluded with a historic criminal conviction of a former US president. But it’s too early to raise a toast, as we still don’t know if Donald Trump will eventually enter prison or the Oval Office. Meanwhile, we have internet memes to laugh off the misfortune of still having to talk about him in 2024. In other cheerful news, a new episode of the Hyperallergic podcast is out! This week, Mohawk artist Shelley Niro talks about her Indigenous roots and decades-long career in a conversation with our Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian. It’s worth a listen. Together with our contributor AX Mina, Hrag also takes a deep dive into the Venice Biennale’s national pavilions and central exhibition Foreigners Everywhere. Also this week: Lothar Osterburg’s worlds of longings, the women reinventing landscape painting, artists-in-residence at sanitation facilities, our monthly roundup of video essays, and so much more. And finally, our 15th birthday is coming this fall! To help this publication stay independent and free for all, please consider joining us as a Hyperallergic member. You can start your support as low as $8 a month (or $80 for the whole year)! Thanks for reading and have a great weekend. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor | |
