The author also praises Janis Rafa's video installation "Baby I'm Yours, Forever" (2026) at Fondazione In Between Art Film, which transforms scenes from a meat refrigeration plant into haunting surreal imagery.

Counterpublic comes to New York ahead of its next triennial, Coyote Time

Counterpublic, a St. Louis-based non-profit that reimagines public art, is bringing its mission to New York ahead of its third triennial, titled "Coyote Time." The organization will kick off New York art week with a party celebrating the triennial's curators and artists, including Stefanie Hessler, Jordan Carter, and Wanda Nanibush. It has partnered with Frieze New York to present a new commission and performance by Oglála Lakȟóta artist Kite at The Shed, offering a preview of the triennial. The third edition, "Coyote Time," runs from September 12 to December 12 across five main sites in St. Louis, featuring nearly 50 artists, duos, and collectives. The title derives from artist Alice Bucknell's video game-inspired commission about suspended moments, and the exhibition will explore themes of migration, identity, climate, and technology through ambitious new works and historical reinterpretations.
