"But their antidote comes in the form of this razor-sharp satirical publication, a steady source of humor and strength. The latest edition pokes fun at the absurdist cruelty of MAGA and rallies artists and writers, including Pamela Sneed and Pablo Helguera, to envision what resistance can look like right now, from Orwellian comic strips to the whistle you carry in your pocket."
"Christopher Wangro on Maya Pontone's "Tracing Queer History Through NYC's Public Parks": Great stuff. Worth noting too is the story of The Aids Walk in Central Pk. For many years AIDS Walk organizers were kept out of the pk, yet after much effort by The Walk's leadership and the NYC Pks Office of Special Events the event was welcomed into the Great Lawn."
South Africa withdrew from the Venice Biennale. Glenn Ligon's recent work centers on explorations of the color blue. The Siren issues a fourth edition featuring razor-sharp satirical comics, Orwellian quotes, and political screeds that mock MAGA while imagining acts of resistance. Contributors include Pamela Sneed and Pablo Helguera. Critics highlight an artist who rejects the notion that paint inevitably becomes exhausted and another whose practice probes how language and color can birth figuration. A feature traces queer history through New York City parks and recounts the long effort to bring the Aids Walk onto the Great Lawn. A spring guide to art in Washington, D.C., is included.
