Bicoastal Art World Satire ‘Kill Dick’ Imagines Sackler Revenge

Luke Goebel's new novel 'Kill Dick' is a satirical, chaotic takedown of the contemporary art world and its entanglement with the Sackler family, fictionalized here as the Sicklers. The book follows protagonist Susie, the daughter of the Sickler family lawyer, as she navigates addiction, familial disgust, and a numbed existence against the backdrop of 2016 America. Its prose is deliberately abrasive and shocking, mirroring the emotional state of its narrator.

Review: “Mark Me, Too: Five Artists” at Hyde Park Art Center

The Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago presents “Mark Me, Too: Five Artists,” a group exhibition curated by Dr. Rikki Byrd, the center’s inaugural Radicle Curatorial Resident. The show features works by Lisa DeAbreu, Lex Marie, Natasha Moustache, Lola Ayisha Ogbara, and Ciarra K. Walters, each exploring mark-making as a conceptual and material practice. Highlights include Walters’ video “Eileen’s Daughters,” which uses fragile eggshell-covered suits to evoke familial intimacy and vulnerability; DeAbreu’s textile works that transform household items into visual heirlooms; Ogbara’s sculptural piece “Hopscotch (A Safe Space to Land),” combining bronze and soil to address Black beauty and West African heritage; and Marie’s reimagined American flags made from hospital blankets and beads, critiquing the nation’s relationship with Black maternity and childhood.

This Garden of Weeds Review: V. Sanjay Kumar Maps the Art World

V. Sanjay Kumar's novel *This Garden of Weeds* explores the Indian art world through a murder mystery centered on the death of a mythic artist, Maya. The story follows her daughter Tara as she uncovers Maya's past through flashbacks involving former art-school classmates—an art critic, a reporter, and a performance artist—while also weaving in subplots about a wealthy family's entry into art collecting, a gallerist's shady dealings, and a reality show for artists. The novel satirizes the fusion of gossip, celebrity, and commerce that defines contemporary art culture.
