Great piece by @TinaRiversRyan on TONO in Mexico City and the real engagement with art that she witnessed. For @Artforum about the artists whose works shone a bright light of possibility artforum.com/columns/time-ba…

What is drawing? Been musing on it since invited to speak by @carlagannis & sketched some difficulties on its seeming obviousness for @TheBrooklynRail …no time/space to get into plotter drawings but that’s why back to the drawing board I always go 😉brooklynrail.org/2026/04/art…
Recommend checking out this book from @DAMDigitalArt damprojects.org/en/publicati…
So delighted always to hear @sashastiles about language as a technology, this time in convo with @mpierpont3 in the lovely @NatnlArtsClub 💚💻🖤📚💚
What if art isn’t only a thing but also a way of orienting ourselves around a set of practices, ideas and behaviors? 🙏 @RtClick_Save for the opportunity to summarize Niklas Luhmann’s dense argument
Some highlights from this week's Right Click News:
@kikanicolela's @objktcom curation "Female Artists That You Need to Know"
@Lucy2Scribbles on Niklas Luhmann’s Art as a Social System
Wrote a thing for @ArtReview_ about digital art and museums, and why “museums can’t represent the only context for evaluating the significance of these practices, or an artist working with these types of technologies” 😉 even if we all love museums🎭

On subway this morning and I suddenly hear a man saying lewd, explicit, violent things to some woman further down. When I look around, others catch my eye but no one is doing anything. I’m debating, do I get up? Will I as a woman make it worse?

#NewProfilePic courtesy of the enormous honor to be included in #DeCCos 🙏 @MuseumofCrypto (a perfect image, expressing so much personal history — y’all nailed it)
I am beyond honored. No crying allowed 😭#DeCCos is such a joyful enterprise 🥰but all stems from generosity of early support & guidance @PowerDada @flakoubay @AnneBracegirdle @MLOdotArt 🙏 💥so many others thereafter…that broad vision is the work. @MuseumofCrypto ♾️ 💖
Digital art is a swirling miasma; she, an orientation point. Crypto art is a drifting vessel; she, a navigator. Seer, philosopher, advocate. What creativity does she not see to the soul of? What newness does she not champion?
Welcome @lucy2scribbles to the Honorary #DeCC0s Club
Just gonna say— check it out 🤩
The exhibition “Things,” a survey of the last ten years of my sculpture, is on view at River House Arts in Toledo Ohio. Here’s a wonderful piece on the show in the Bowling Green Independent News by Michael Dupont: bgindependentmedia.org/arts-…
Went to Yokohama, where Japan first opened port to foreigners—rather appropriate on Day 1 of my @NEHgov & @artwithMI research for meeting w @emikusano 🤩what a thoughtful artist of beautiful work. So much gratitude 🙏
