Photographs and artwork related to its efforts to raise awareness about the missing students — all young teachers-in-training — are now on view at the Bronx art space AAA3A. You can read more about their critical work (and some upcoming actions) here.I’d also recommend checking out this year’s New York Film Festival, now in full swing via virtual screenings and a few drive-ins around the city. Ela Bittencourt shares a compelling list of films not to miss, and Monica Castillo rounds up some her favorite New York-themed shorts.Further downtown, at Hauser & Wirth, our staff writer Valentina Di Liscia spent some time with the profound works of the late painter Luchita Hurtado, who only began to be widely recognized in her 90s. Likewise, the landscape painter Richard Mayhew, also in his 90s and still painting daily, is currently the subject of a long overdue solo show at ACA galleries. As Julie Schneider writes of the catalogue, “to crack open the squarish volume of Transcendence is to open a portal into a realm of vivid swirling hues, where natural forms pulse with freedom.”– Dessane Lopez Cassell, Editor, Reviews | |
