Hyperallergic Covers Greater New York Survey, Joan Semmel Exhibition, and NYC Art Events
Hyperallergic's editorial team visited MoMA PS1's Greater New York survey, a triennial exhibition featuring early-career artists based in New York City. The show presents paintings, photographs, and sculptures across three floors of the former public school building. Joan Semmel, a 93-year-old artist, has provocative portraits on view at the Jewish Museum and Alexander Gray gallery. An interview with NYC First Lady Rama Duwaji discusses her art practice and new role. Jean Shin created a living memorial at Green-Wood Cemetery inspired by Korean funerary practices. Reviews cover Jule Korneffel's exhibition at Spencer Brownstone Gallery and Leonardo Madriz's show at Parent Company. Protest posters against the Bezos Met Gala have appeared across New York City. CUNY's Social Practice art program is shutting down.
