year in latinx art 2025 artists museums

The article reflects on the state of Latinx art in 2025, a year marked by devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and the start of the second Trump administration, which has intensified ICE raids and targeted communities of color. Amid this crisis, artists have created poignant responses, including AMBOS's ceramics project at Frieze Los Angeles benefiting migrants awaiting asylum hearings, and Consuelo Jimenez Underwood's solo exhibition at Artpace in San Antonio, which explored borders both literal and cosmic. The piece also highlights a two-person show by Beatriz Cortez and rafa esparza at the Americas Society, titled "Earth and Cosmos," featuring works that challenge time and space.

Artist Josh Kline has sparked intense debate across the New York art world with his viral essay, "New York Real Estate and the Ruin of American Art," published in the journal October. The text serves as a scathing critique of the current state of the American art industry, diagnosing it as "sick" due to skyrocketing real estate costs, systemic power imbalances, and a market that has become an unsustainable "conveyor belt" of commercial painting. Kline argues that the economic pressures of post-pandemic New York have made the city a hostile environment for experimental and conceptual practices.

justin allen new language wendys subway

Justin Allen celebrated the launch of his debut book *Language Arts* (2024), published by Wendy’s Subway, with a live reading at Performance Space in New York’s Lower East Side. The book merges music, dance, performance, and language, including a poem "140 BPM" that recreates nights at Bushwick’s Bossa Nova Civic Club. Allen, who grew up in Northern Virginia and moved to New York City, draws on influences from experimental punk, indie sleaze artists like Santigold and M.I.A., and his own invented language, Hatnahans, to craft a work that blends leftist critique with speculative fiction and club culture.
