Genuine Fake Premium Economy review – brilliantly obnoxious millennial rage at a rigged financial world

The exhibition "Genuine Fake Premium Economy" at a London gallery features works by American artists Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison, and Jasmine Gregory, all born in the mid-1980s. Their pieces—including Bliss's shaky videos of New York's financial district, Ellison's fictional bank advertisements pairing classical paintings with cynical taglines, and Gregory's luxury watch ads stripped of watches—collectively express millennial rage at a rigged financial system and the aftermath of the 2008 crash.

Gabrielle Goliath Sounds a Call to Action in Venice

Gabrielle Goliath’s exhibition "Elegy" is presented as South Africa’s unofficial pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, after the country’s Culture Minister Gayton McKenzie overrode an independent committee’s selection of Goliath, citing her proposed inclusion of a memorial for Palestinians killed in Gaza. The installation features three video works in which singers sound a single note in tribute to victims of violence: a South African femicide victim, two women killed in Germany’s colonial genocide in Namibia, and Palestinian poet Heba Abunada. The show occupies the Chiesa di Sant'Antonin in Venice, curated with Ingrid Masondo, after a legal challenge against McKenzie was dismissed.

In "Dancing the Revolution," Puerto Rico Pushes Back

The article reviews "Dancing the Revolution," a multi-genre collective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago that explores the music of dancehall and reggaetón, their roots, history, and evolution, and their inextricable link to colonial oppression. The show is inspired by the massive 2019 protests in Puerto Rico against then-Governor Ricardo Rosselló, where music and dance were used as forms of resistance, drawing on centuries of Black Atlantic protest in the Caribbean.
