Diné artist Eric-Paul Riege has opened his largest exhibition to date, titled "ojo|-|ólǫ́," at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle. The show features textile sculptures, looms, beading, video, and performance, and uniquely invites visitors to physically touch the artworks, allowing them to become part of the objects' material history through their interactions.
Brown University terminated both curators at the David Winton Bell Gallery—Kate Kraczon, director of exhibitions and chief curator, and Thea Quiray Tagle, associate curator—on December 4, as part of broader layoffs and austerity measures amid a financial crunch. The university eliminated 55 vacant positions and laid off 48 staff across campus, but has not publicly commented on the curators' terminations, which were confirmed via an internal message shared with ARTnews. Faculty members expressed surprise and frustration, saying they received no clear explanation beyond budget cuts, and it remains unclear who will handle future programming at the gallery.
