design artist housing hell real estate

The article examines the severe affordable housing crisis facing artists in major art capitals like New York, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Paris, and Hong Kong. It draws parallels between the satirical portrayals of housing struggles in Tama Janowitz's *Slaves of New York* (1986) and Jane DeLynn's *Real Estate* (1988) and the contemporary reality, where median rents have tripled since the 1970s while artists' median earnings remain critically low. The author maps artists' precarious housing situations onto Dante's nine circles of Hell, illustrating the creative but often desperate workarounds artists employ, such as subletting, living in storage units, or having no permanent address.

And We Shall Go Through Their Hills Without Much Delay

This article documents three journeys into and out of Yunnan, China, spanning from 1874 to 2023. It begins with British interpreter Augustus Raymond Margary's failed colonial expedition to establish a trade route, which ended in his violent death and contributed to unequal treaties opening Southwest China. It then follows a Naxi student named Xueshan in 1937, whose railway journey introduced modern timekeeping to the region, and finally describes the construction of the Burma Road, a critical WWII supply route. The narrative concludes with the artist Cheng Xinhao retracing these routes on foot from Kunming toward Burma over a year and a half, reflecting on history, bodily experience, and the layers of infrastructure that have reshaped the landscape.

Exhibition | Kimiyo Mishima, 'FRAGILE' at Nonaka-Hill, Los Angeles, United States

This article profiles Japanese artist Kimiyo Mishima, whose ceramic sculptures meticulously replicate discarded newspapers, cans, and other trash. Mishima, who died recently, began her career with painting and collage before pioneering a technique in 1971 of silk-screening and painting thin clay sheets rolled with an udon noodle roller to create fragile, lifelike sculptures of garbage. Her work was shaped by her experience growing up in postwar Osaka and her revulsion at consumer culture's disposable nature, leading her to collect trash from the streets of New York and Paris during artist grants.

San Juan’s Artists Are Shaping Puerto Rico’s Cultural Future One Space at a Time

Larissa De Jesús Negrón and other Puerto Rican artists are driving a cultural renaissance in San Juan, with grassroots galleries, collectives, and adaptive institutions redefining how art is produced and shared. This surge follows Hurricane Maria and the pandemic, bolstered by global attention from figures like Bad Bunny and exhibitions such as the 2023 Whitney show "no existe un mundo poshuracán." Art dealer Walter Otero notes that the scene has strengthened through local residencies, fellowships, and Puerto Rican curators in U.S. institutions, while spaces like EMBAJADA, founded by Christopher Rivera and Manuela Paz, reject the white-cube model to engage broader local audiences.

How Tate's Emily Kam Kngwarray show is revealing the fraught market dynamics of Aboriginal art

Tate Modern in London is hosting a major solo exhibition of Emily Kam Kngwarray, the celebrated Aboriginal artist who rose to fame in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The show, first presented at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra, features works from the height of her career, deliberately omitting some of her final paintings due to concerns about the circumstances under which they were created. Curators Kelli Cole and Hetti Perkins highlight how Kngwarray's rapid success attracted dealers and entrepreneurs who exploited the artist and her community, revealing an opaque market system that took advantage of artists' inexperience and poor socio-economic conditions.

Marcel Duchamp Is Stripped Bare at MoMA

The Museum of Modern Art in New York has opened "Marcel Duchamp," the first retrospective of the artist on this continent in over 50 years. Curated by Ann Temkin, Michelle Kuo, and Matthew Affron, the exhibition is organized strictly chronologically and features Duchamp's most famous works—including his revolutionary readymades like *Fountain* (1917) and *Bicycle Wheel* (1913)—often shown only in photographic reproduction or as later refabricated copies, replicas, and miniatures from his *Box in a Valise* series. The show highlights how Duchamp's original objects have been lost or dematerialized, forcing viewers to confront the very definition of an artwork.

Insider’s Look at Curating a Show Inspired by the Declaration of Independence’s 250th Anniversary [Interview]

The Fabric Workshop and Museum (FVM) in Philadelphia has opened "Some American Dreams," an exhibition marking the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Curated by Hilde Nelson, FVM curatorial fellow, the show features 27 works by 20 artists created during the museum's Artist-in-Residence Program over four decades. The exhibition includes pieces in furniture, sculpture, textiles, clothing, video, and photography, and is on view until June 14, 2026. In an interview with My Modern Met, Nelson discusses her curatorial approach, which poses the question, "What if 'America' is not one project, but many?" and explores how these multiple Americas are affirmed, resisted, or remade through the artworks.

The 61st Venice Biennale, titled "In Minor Keys," opens with a keynote exhibition conceived by the late Koyo Kouoh and realized by her team after her sudden death in May 2025. The show spans the Central Pavilion in the Giardini and the Arsenale, featuring 110 artists and collectives. Highlights include Bracha L. Ettinger's installation at the Hotel Metropole, where she transforms a room where Sigmund Freud wrote part of *The Interpretation of Dreams* into a feminist 'borderspace,' and works by artists such as Arthur Jafa, Richard Prince, Issa Samb, Beverly Buchanan, and Daniel Lind-Ramos. The exhibition explores themes of history, colonialism, war, and environmental destruction, aiming for a 'sotto voce' tone that nonetheless delivers powerful, liberating statements.
