Art for Our Age of Chaos

The article reviews two major New York exhibitions opening in 2026: the Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art, featuring over fifty artists, and "New Humans: Memories of the Future" at the newly expanded New Museum, with over a hundred artists. Both shows are described as enormous and defiant, responding to a distracted public and financial pressures. The reviewer notes that both exhibitions juxtapose large-scale immersive works with tiny, intimate pieces, and finds the Whitney Biennial lacking urgency, while preferring the New Museum's historical narrative about technology and modernity.

Working as an Artist in Hong Kong (Michelle Fung)

Michelle Fung reflects on the realities of working as an artist in Hong Kong, dispelling the romantic myth of the bohemian artist. She describes the city's high cost of living, lack of affordable studio space, and the need for artists to take on multiple jobs—from teaching to selling secondhand handbags—to survive. Fung notes that while Hong Kong offers a vibrant art scene with over 70 galleries and a dozen museums, most artists cannot rely on gallery sales alone. She also critiques the Hong Kong Arts Development Council's grant system, which covers project expenses but provides minimal artist fees, contrasting it with more generous systems in Canada and the Netherlands.

For Carly Glovinski, Art and Gardening Grow Side by Side

Maine artist Carly Glovinski has opened "Into the Garden," her third solo exhibition with New York's Morgan Lehman Gallery. The show explores gardening as a parallel practice to art-making, inspired by her residency at Surf Point in southern Maine, where she discovered the overgrown grounds of Wild Knoll, the former home of author May Sarton. Glovinski planted a community garden there, the Wild Knoll Foundation Garden, and the experience led her to return to painting after a two-decade hiatus, creating acrylic works that express the experience of gardening rather than traditional landscapes.
