Art Movements, published every Thursday afternoon, is a roundup of must-know news, appointments, awards, and other happenings in today’s chaotic art world.
El Museo del Barrio has announced the curatorial team for the 2027 edition of La Trienal, the East Harlem institution's landmark survey of Latine contemporary art. The show will be organized by Susanna V.
