The play follows a couple’s final night together before the husband flees across the border to avoid deportation—an unflinching, poetic meditation on immigration, separation, and resilience in the face of systemic injustice.

Curated by Mashonda Tifrere, the exhibition is framed conceptually through Ringgold’s relationship to UC San Diego, where she served as professor of visual arts from 1984 to 2002. This institutional affiliation provides a lens for understanding how her academic philosophy materialized throughout her practice and impacted not only those she mentored at UC San Diego, but generations of artists around the world.

Delancey Street Press
The book is a study of Ken Russell's film work from his early days at the BBC to his later, sometimes controversial, independent work. Russell's whole body of work was informed by a second Renaissance that took place in England in the 1960's and the book explores that time/place and the context in which the films came into being.

The Whitney launches The Thinking Ocean a digital art project by Memo Akten and Katie Hofstadter commissioned for artport, the Museum’s online gallery space for Internet art. Part of the artists’ Cosmosapience series, this project simulates a natural body of water that shifts between fluid dynamics and computational code. With The Thinking Ocean, Akten and Hofstadter explore the ways society grants agency to machines that mimic humanlike behavioral patterns, while overlooking the complex computations that similarly unfold in nature.

Quint ONE, San Diego, CA
Known for a growing cast of anonymous individuals concealed in patterned, form-fitting fabrics, Chapin paints ambiguous scenes of them languorously existing in a manufactured mid-century purgatory. In this ongoing practice informed by both modern advertising and contemporary social media influencer culture, Chapin forges an entanglement between the collapsing dichotomies of the real and the artificial, and the valuable and valueless.
