- Reading this will make you want to cry and punch a wall or light a car on fire or something. It’s the maddeningly tragic story of Alejandro Nieto, a San Francisco native murdered by police after new tech-industry transplants reported him looking “suspicious” and “foreign” while sitting in the park in his own neighborhood. Unsurprisingly, none of the cops faced criminal charges. It’s appropriately titled “Death by Gentrification”. [The Guardian]
- The public is invited to help nominate artists for the prestigious Turner Prize via an online form. [artnet News]
- China is in the midst of a private art museum building boom. Unfortunately, this means China gets a lot of starchitect-designed spaces in fringe locations with very little worthwhile art inside. It seems like collectors prioritize having their own museum before, you know, assembling an actual collection. [CNN]

- Censorship is having its moment globally, apparently. A report from Freemuse claims incidents of artistic repression have doubled between 2014 and 2015. [The Art Newspaper]
