Happy Wednesday! Start your morning right with a trip through the world of genre-defying Swedish artist Moki Cherry, whose textiles, performances, and music dissolved the boundaries between art and life — something we could all use right now. Peek into some of the works in her upcoming retrospective at Philly’s Fabric Workshop and Museum, aptly titled The Living Temple, below.

In other news: Remember the tourist who was targeted by border control for having a baby JD Vance meme on his phone? A new app lets users set it as the background for their mobile boarding pass. Meanwhile, in Barcelona, a two-year-old museum dedicated to exhibiting censored art shuttered after workers went on strike, alleging poor conditions.

More below, including Reviews Editor Natalie Haddad’s thoughtful piece on a living exhibition at Manhattan’s Swiss Institute and our invaluable list of art shows to see around New York City this week.
