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.

According to the Turner Prize, one of the year’s best British artists is… French

The 2026 Turner Prize shortlist has been announced, featuring four nominees including French-born artist Marguerite Humeau, who is considered the front-runner despite the award's requirement of honoring a "British artist." Humeau, known for her futuristic biomorphic sculptures made from unusual materials like wasp venom and seaweed, lives in London but was born and raised in the Loire Valley. Other nominees include London-born Kira Freije, Simeon Barclay for his spoken-word performance "The Ruin," and Tanoa Sasraku, whose ICA show is described as "dreary" by the critic. The winner will be announced at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art in December.

The Myth of the “Emerging” Black Artist: Ageism and Access in the Art World

The article, written by Chenoa Baker, critiques the art world's labeling system that categorizes artists as emerging, mid-career, or established. It argues that these labels are particularly harmful to Black artists, who are often kept in the "emerging" category for years despite significant achievements, collections, and decades of practice. The piece highlights the cases of Cheryl Miller, a self-taught analog photographer whose work is held by major institutions yet who had to "re-emerge" after relocating, and Ifé Franklin, a queer Black artist whose career was sidelined by systemic erasure and who is now being honored as an "elder" artist. The article connects these labels to ageism, lack of access to elite schools and galleries, and the undervaluing of self-taught artists and those working outside traditional art centers.
