Today is the day ofour festive 15th anniversary party! If you're in New York, there's still timeto get a ticket to our gathering at Red Pavilion cabaret club starting at7pm. The program includes a series of drag performances, DJ music, food, and good vibes allaround.

Meanwhile, we report on an artistic protest against the Noguchi Museum’s ban on Palestinian keffiyehs for staff, concerns for the future of a sculpture garden in Manhattan, and the unfortunate story of a Dutch museum technician who dumped an artwork in the trash by mistake.

And there’s more, including the dubious origin story of reality TV, Petah Coyne’s maximalist baroque feminism, a spotlight on the fool in art, and a documentary film about the dark history of New York's Lincoln Center.

Mestre Didi, on View at James Cohan’s 291 Grand Street Gallery

Deoscóredes Maximiliano dos Santos (Mestre Didi) was an influential Afro-Brazilian artist, spiritual leader, and writer. In Didi’s work, the encounter between tradition and African heritage unified with the vernacular of contemporary art brings to life a semi-abstract conceptual and emotional vocabulary that fuses past and present to restore and renew life.
