Expo Chicago opened on Thursday at Navy Pier Festival Hall, featuring 20 exhibitors from South Korea in partnership with the Galleries Association of Korea. The fair, acquired by Frieze in 2023 alongside the Armory Show, balances regional character with an increasingly international feel. In the 'Exposure' section spotlighting emerging artists, New York-based Palo Gallery devoted its booth to New Orleans artist Auudi Dorsey (b. 1992). By opening day, Dorsey's painting *Rumble* (2025), depicting a Black boxer, sold for $14,000. The work belongs to his 'Gunslinger' series, named after the Louisiana State Penitentiary's boxing team and inspired by boxer Clifford Etienne.

If fashion is art, why doesn’t CNZ fund it?

Creative New Zealand (CNZ) explicitly states on its website that it does not fund fashion design, classifying it as primarily part of the commercial creative industries. The article highlights the contradiction that while major institutions like The Dowse Art Museum, Auckland Art Gallery, and World of WearableArt treat fashion as art, CNZ denies funding to fashion designers, with rare exceptions for non-commercial, cross-cultural, or collaborative projects. Fashion designer Doris de Pont, founder of The New Zealand Fashion Museum, notes that even when her trust received CNZ support, it was for the art connection, not the fashion itself.
