Guerrilla Girl Joyce Kozloff Unmasks, Shanghai Biennale Names Curator

Artist Joyce Kozloff, known for Pattern and Decoration, has revealed herself as a Guerrilla Girl under the alias "Liubov Popova" in an Art Journal interview, breaking the group's longstanding anonymity. She argued for secrecy to keep focus on issues, not individuals. Meanwhile, the 16th Shanghai Biennale (November 2027) appointed Ferran Barenblit, former MACBA director, as curator. The Hammer Museum selected chief curator Michael Wellen and José Luis Blondet for the 2027 Made in L.A. Biennial. Art historian Martie Wing Young, instrumental in creating Cornell University's Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, died at 96. The museum, an I. M. Pei building, features a fifth floor dedicated to Asian art due to Young's advocacy. New York dealer Mitchell Algus is hosting Barbara Goldmann's first solo show, featuring spectral figures and a memoir-like press release.
