Letter calls on Judy Chicago and Pussy Riot's Nadya Tolakonnikova to cancel Tel Aviv exhibition

More than 50 artists and cultural figures, many based in Israel, have signed a letter urging American artist Judy Chicago and Pussy Riot co-founder Nadya Tolokonnikova to cancel their collaborative exhibition "What if women ruled the world?" at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The show, which opened last week, features a digital quilt responding to the titular question. The letter, seen by The Art Newspaper, argues that holding the exhibition in Israel makes the artists "complicit" in what the signatories describe as genocide in Gaza, citing a recent UN commission finding. Tolokonnikova stated she is not involved in the ongoing project, while Chicago declined to comment. The museum defended the exhibition as a space for reflection and dialogue, not an endorsement of any political position.

In Xie Lei’s Work, the Uncanny Becomes Painting

Chinese-born, Paris-based painter Xie Lei has spent nearly two decades perfecting what he calls a 'poetics of the strange' in his canvases, which feature ghostly, gender-ambiguous figures in ambiguous situations—such as a kiss that could also be an act of suffocation. His works, which draw on memory rather than live models, will be exhibited at the Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris in September 2025. Xie cites influences ranging from classical Western painters like Delacroix and Goya to French authors Albert Camus and Jean Genet, as well as psychoanalyst Julia Kristeva and Chinese writers Zhuang Zhou and Pu Songling.

Bunch stated the Smithsonian is conducting its own internal review to ensure nonpartisan, factual programming, emphasizing that the institution retains authority over its content. The letters follow Trump's social media attack on the Smithsonian and an earlier executive order directing Vice President J.D. Vance to remove what the administration calls 'race-centred ideology.'

Comment | I used to think it wasn’t cool to like Andy Goldsworthy—now I see how he helps us appreciate the natural world

Mia maxima culpa. For many years I felt it wasn’t cool to like Andy Goldsworthy. The British artist’s interventions in and workings with nature, while highly skilful and often very beautiful, seemed out of kilter with an increasingly hardcore, conceptually underpinned and urban-orientated art world. It also didn’t help that most of his work could only be experienced at one remove. Books and photographs were the only record of the ephemeral pieces he’d created from ice, leaves, sticks and stones; as well as of the more lasting installations—walls, sheepfolds, cairn paths and giant arches—he’d make in situ, usually in remote locations across the world.
