- Uh, this is how Iran censors women’s sports. To quote Lorna Mills, “They just killed Net Art.” [Facebook]

Which is exactly why the commercial market should be kept at as much distance as possible from institutions. [The New York Times]
- Thomas Broadbent won the 2016 Pulse Prize. [artnet News]
- In the dystopian lexicon of post-gentrification New York, there’s probably no phrase as absurd as”high-rent blight”. Basically, landlords around a luxury midtown tower are keeping storefronts vacant in anticipation of being able to charge more once a Nordstrom opens. [Curbed]
- Charles Molesworth has a new book out: “The Capitalist and the Critic: J.P. Morgan, Roger Fry, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.” Based on the summary in the Post yesterday, it looks pretty interesting. Apparently guys with money always needed someone else with better taste. [New York Post]
- The director of the Hermitage wants to rebuild Palmyra, and has been gathering the artifacts and archives for the attempt. [The Art Newspaper]
- The Victoria and Albert Museum is acquiring over 3 million photographs from the UK’s National Media Museum in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The V&A plans to open a new, photography-centric wing in London. Critics fear this would be a crippling blow to Bradford’s cultural patrimony. [Artforum]
- “Make Your Face Great Again” is the “Trumping” makeup tutorial you never knew you needed. [Huffington Post]
