- Trestle Gallery and Brooklyn Art Space are offering grants for artists to relocate to their new studio spaces on 3rd Ave. If you move in December, you could get 1-2 months free rent. [Facebook]
- Here’s a map that shows which NYC neighborhoods voted for Donald Trump and which ones voted for Hillary Clinton. In a fitting bit of poetic justice, the Trump supporting neighborhoods are mostly in areas highly vulnerable to sea level rise. When they become climate refugees, we could build a wall, if we’re feeling vindictive. [Curbed]
- Photos from Architecture of Color: The Legacy of Luis Barragán, on view at Timothy Taylor 16 x 34. This looks like a really understated show that’s light on the standard architectural documentation/models but captures the Barragán spirit. [ARTnews]
- Bayeté Ross Smith invited artists, critics, and other to a multi-venue discussion about gun violence. At one event at a firing range, attendees were given guns to shoot paper images of themselves. This is Brian Boucher’s account, which sounds pretty creepy. [artnet News]
- The Daily Mail’s morning-after cover features two train wrecks—the largest of which being the election results, as commemorated by an image from legendary punk artist Gee Vaucher. [NME]
- Massive tax cuts for the rich are good for the art market, according to Amy Cappellazzo, co-head of the Fine Arts Department at Sotheby’s and Benjamin Genocchio, the director of the Armory Show. Both made clear that they would have preferred a Trump loss, but they apply a very narrow lens to the presidency. A tax windfall for the rich—which is what they discussed— may benefit the art market, but the tradewars Trump promises will not. Anyone who thinks this is good news is either misguided, uninformed or stands to gain financially through the presidency. [ARTnews]
- How the art world is grappling with new media. A bunch of experts weigh in on why it hasn’t been more fully embraced by the art world. [The Art Newspaper]
- As many of our readers probably saw over Facebook, last night Trump protests took over the streets of Manhattan. On my own feed, I’ve seen some commentary wondering what the use of the protest is because there’s no stopping Donald Trump from becoming the next president. As one Facebook friend very wisely pointed out, there’s some catharsis to be had simply by getting together with a group and yelling about it. [Gothamist]
