"British curator and writer Ekow Eshun has been tapped to curate the 13th SITE SANTA FE International Biennial, which will take place in the summer of 2027. Eshun, who became the first Black leader of a major British arts institution when he took the helm of the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, said in a statement that he is inspired by New Mexico's nickname, "the Land of Enchantment," where "land, imagination, and lived experience are deeply entwined.""
"New York City's Mnuchin Gallery announced it will shutter this month following the death of its founder, investment banker Robert Mnuchin, at the end of last year. Despite its unpleasant associations (Robert's son Steven Mnuchin served as treasury secretary during Trump's first term), the gallery put on some incredible shows, including a truly mind-blowing Willem de Kooning survey in 2019. The gallery's swan song was an exhibition of ... Julian Schnabel plate paintings? Kind of an anticlimactic coda if you ask us."
