Comment | Cow in MSCHF project survives, but should the project have happened at all?

The Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF concluded its two-year project 'Our Cow Angus,' in which the fate of a live cow was determined by token holders. Purchasers of tokens representing future hamburgers and leather had the option to return them via a 'remorse portal'; when over 50% were returned by the March 13 deadline, the cow was sent to a sanctuary instead of a slaughterhouse.

The second edition of the Aspen Art Fair opened at the historic Hotel Jerome with over 40 exhibitors from more than 15 countries, more than doubling its size from the previous year.

audemars piguet contemporary aspen art museum adrian villar rojas 1234745580

Audemars Piguet Contemporary (APC) and the Aspen Art Museum have co-commissioned a new sculpture by Argentinian artist Adrián Villar Rojas, titled (Untitled) The Language of the Enemy. The work will debut in November in the Jura Mountains, near APC's hometown in the Vallée de Joux, before traveling to the Aspen Art Museum for a multi-floor exhibition in 2026. The sculpture draws a parallel between paleontology and speculative memory, imagining that an encounter with fossilized dinosaur remains might have sparked the earliest act of art-making. APC curator Audrey Teichmann emphasized the organization's role in supporting the artist through inception, research, fabrication, and project management, as well as providing continuous support for a second exhibition and storage of the work between shows.

Ripple: Furniture Sculpture and Painting after 1982

David Kordansky Gallery is presenting "Ripple: Furniture Sculpture and Painting after 1982," an exhibition of historic works by Swiss artist John Armleder, on view from May 7 to June 13, 2026. The show focuses on Armleder's Furniture Sculpture series from the 1980s, which incorporates functional or decorative objects alongside paintings, exploring the intersection of art, design, and everyday life. Works like FS 156 (1987) and Untitled (FS) (1987) exemplify his interest in collectivity, chance, and the viewer's role in assigning meaning, influenced by experiences such as a prison stint for refusing conscription and his time on a rowing team, as well as the experimental compositions of Erik Satie and John Cage's writings on chance.

The Aspen Art Museum is undergoing a strategic shift under director Nicola Lees, moving away from its reputation as a collector's clubhouse toward becoming a global institution. The museum's annual ArtCrush gala and fundraiser week, once centered on wealth-displaying collector home visits and glitzy parties, now emphasizes intellectual programming like the inaugural AIR festival, a $20 million artist-led interdisciplinary initiative featuring talks by Werner Herzog and Hans Ulrich Obrist. This change comes amid soaring local real estate prices, including a $108 million home co-purchased by Steve Wynn and Thomas Peterffy, and contrasts the area's deep pockets with the museum's free admission since 2008.
