Haegue Yang’s Meditations on Exile

Haegue Yang's exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, uses Venetian blinds to explore themes of exile, division, and asymmetry, as reviewed by Alex Paik. The article also covers a separate exhibition at The Huntington Library juxtaposing the personal effects of Charlotte Brontë and Octavia E. Butler, a controversy over AI-colorized Ansel Adams photos sold by gallerist James Danziger, a statue of a Revolutionary War officer who enslaved people installed at Freedom Plaza, and the death of Miami graffiti legend Eric Alan Hirt (Eson).

An Artist’s MFA Show Confronts Columbia University Over Gaza

Artist Alejandro Valencia's MFA thesis installation at Columbia University, titled "DYNAMO (RATM01)" (2026), confronts the institution's response to the Gaza genocide. The multipart work, on view at the Miriam and Ira D. Wallach Art Gallery, includes a keffiyeh worn by fellow student Ridwana Rahman—who was banned from campus and denied her MFA degree after a protest—along with sundials, pencils, and a broken microphone referencing Palestinian scholar Edward Said. The piece critiques Columbia's crackdown on pro-Palestinian student activism and the suppression of dissenting voices.
