Artist Rashid Johnson has spent his career exploring his anxiety, through paintings, sculptures, photos and more. His most famous work, Anxious Men, is on T-shirts, plates and jewelery, including a necklace worn by Kendall Roy in "Succession." @time spoke to Johnson about his early days, his upcoming solo show at the Guggenheim in New York City, being an influential Black artist, and how he wants his art to be discussed. “I really don’t like the idea that my project, even with all of its diversity and complexity, is opaque,” he says. “I want people to feel agency to talk about it, say what they feel when they see it, and to trust themselves.”

Time · Rashid Johnson and the Fine Art of AnxietyBy Belinda Luscombe

"To Every Orange Tree," a show focused on anti-imperialist and liberation movements by Rhode Island School of Design students, staff and local community members, has been shuttered, four days into its run. This appears to have been done in response to accusations by the StopAntisemitism X account of "promoting violence against Jews and calling for the removal of Israel." Here's more from @ArtNews

A Canadian artist has canceled his show, "Since 1957," which was due to open on May 2 in New York, over President Trump's annexation threats. "The United States is no longer a country that Canadians can trust, and I feel it would be unpleasant and wrong to mount a show in the U.S. at this time," Toronto-based Alan Belcher wrote on Facebook. Now, @ArtNews is wondering, is a cultural boycott brewing? This follows Canadian author Louise Penny's cancelation of the U.S. leg of her book tour.

If you like art (like me) and you're having a bored day (like me!) then get yourself a public transport day-ticket and do some gallery hopping.

There's always some areas with a bit more galleries then usual.

Example: Berlin, north area.

Have a great weekend guys. 😊

#TheKillRoom another #movie about using #art to commit some “#crimes.
A really enjoyable movie, the only #issue is that isn’t very “rewatchable”.

At this point I kinda consider this movie somewhat real. It explains why some “art” that we see on #galleries is just made as a #MoneyLaundering.

Also I do not understand why is it considered as a #comedy. There aren’t any jokes at all, but crimes well. It’s what it is about.
