Art Movements: Anicka Yi Picks Up the Pace

"She is now represented by Pace, in collaboration with Gladstone Gallery, 47 Canal, and Esther Schipper. Seems like the South Korea-born, New York-based artist isn't just collecting scents, bacteria, and other assorted oddities for her art practice - she's also collecting galleries."

"The School of Visual Arts in New York is shuttering its 14-year-old curatorial practice MA program in May 2027. This comes after ongoing financial challenges, and the layoff of 30 faculty members over the summer. And the DePaul Art Museum in Chicago is planning to shut its campus art museum on June 30, to the outrage of faculty and staff."

"Brady Lum, the chief operating officer of Atlanta's High Museum of Art, has resigned after the museum found $600,000 missing from its budget. He joined the museum in 2019, after stints at the Olympics and Coca-Cola, and was placed on administrative leave in December."

Anicka Yi expanded her gallery representation to include Pace Gallery alongside Gladstone Gallery, 47 Canal, and Esther Schipper. Diya Vij, formerly VP of curatorial and arts programs at Brooklyn's Powerhouse Arts, became NYC's new culture commissioner under Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The art education sector faced significant challenges with SVA shuttering its 14-year curatorial practice MA program by May 2027 following financial difficulties and summer faculty layoffs. DePaul Art Museum in Chicago announced closure of its campus museum by June 30. Additionally, Brady Lum, COO of Atlanta's High Museum of Art, resigned after the museum discovered $600,000 missing from its budget. Several leadership transitions occurred across cultural institutions.
