As readers may collect from my assessment, Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings on the Morgan Library & Museum is divisive, to say the least. Nevertheless, the primary situation I deal with will not be the artwork, however quite the way in which it’s usually mentioned. So I counsel that you just see the present for your self and take into account your takeaway from it. When you’re out, go to Sarah Okay. Khan’s exhibition at BRIC, which affords a considerate counterpoint in its exploration of colonialism, migration, and unruly ladies from the African, Arab, and Asian worlds.
Additionally really useful this week are photographer Future Mata’s love letter to the Decrease East Aspect at Abrons Artwork Middle and Gideon Bok’s work, which convey collectively studio artwork and activism. And take a look at Lovett/Codagnone: Greetings at Decrease East Aspect artwork nonprofit Participant Inc. It ends this weekend. —Natalie Haddad, Evaluations Editor
