The Many Forms of Marcel Duchamp

The New Yorker's Hilton Als reviews "Marcel Duchamp," a major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York, running through August 22, 2026. Curated by Matthew Affron, Michelle Kuo, and Ann Temkin, it is the first North American retrospective of Duchamp's work since 1973, organized in collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The exhibition spans MoMA's entire sixth floor, showcasing Duchamp's shape-shifting practice—from iconic works like "Nude Descending a Staircase (No. 2)" (1912) and "Bicycle Wheel" (1951) to his readymades and conceptual pieces—emphasizing his rejection of commodification and embrace of intellectual freedom, play, and queer sensibilities.

Local feminist art coalition tackles censorship in current exhibition at San Diego Central Library

The Feminist Image Group (FIG), a local feminist art coalition, is opening a new exhibition titled "In the Land of…" at the San Diego Central Library on Sunday, running through Oct. 12. Originally invited to exhibit before the pandemic, the group shifted focus to address censorship after facing criticism directed at libraries and books. The show features 15 members' works in various media, including paintings, sculpture, fabric art, embroidery, and collage, confronting banned books, silenced histories, and the fight for free expression. Member Jennifer Spencer, a local photographer and painter, helped organize the exhibition and contributed an accordion-fold book piece inspired by Project 2025.
