With Justice for All — Shonibare’s contribution to Singapore Art Week — the artist represents the multiplicity of voices of a contemporary globalized society. View in browser | hyperallergic.comJanuary 28, 2020Letter from the editor: Last Friday, we published an eye-opening story about an apparently stolen artwork from Nepal that was on display at the Dallas Museum of Art for roughly 30 years. Believe it or not, a blogger’s shaky snapshots are what tipped someone off about the artifact, and the museum only removed it from display after the writer of the story, Erin Thompson, alerted them to its questionable history. We'll keep our eye on new developments. The Museum of Chinese in America is still grappling with the reality that its archive of 85,000 artifacts might have been destroyed as a result of a fire. According to the museum, the archive is at the very least severely damaged by soot and water. A devastating loss. The museum has started a GoFundMe page for those who want to chip in and help. And if you want a laugh, check out the art community's take on the #DollyPartonChallenge.
