Timing Pulses: The Interoceptive Art of Allan Kaprow’s 'Time Pieces'
The artist's 1973 work invites participants to feel time through heartbeats, breath, and shared awareness.

In this painting, the subject reading the Parable of the Sower rests in a field of abundant greenery, suggesting rest as a radical act of resistance in a world that values labor and capital over care.

Feels like Mimi Smith's clothing and clock sculptures are the most radical. Clothing and clocks are perfect forms for feminist conceptual art.
Mimi Smith's sculptural clock, Don't Turn Back (1985) employs words and phrases to address the timely issue of reproductive rights.
Around the clock's perimeter and on the clock hands, it says "Don't turn back the hands of time; protect women's right to choose".

The Paula Modersohn-Becker exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago was a pleasure to tour and looking at people looking at the paintings was strangely pleasurable because of the content and intimacy of the art on display.

There’s not nearly enough attention to this recently opened exhibition in Paris on Nadia Léger whose life and career (including as teacher in Léger’s free, non-hierarchical, and gender mixed Atelier moderne) has much to offer about women’s experience in the Parisian avant-garde.
‘Nadia Léger.
A Woman of the Avant-Garde’ opening November at musée Maillol, Paris.
Nadia Khodossievitch-Léger (1904-1982) was integral to the international left avant-garde of Montparnasse including at Léger & Ozenfant’s Académie Moderne where she taught.

Jeffery Gibson, who represented the U.S. at the Venice Biennale this year, has a massive show at Mass MOCA. The vibe is queer Native disco.

It strikes me that this Elizabeth Catlett show at the Brooklyn Museum is the inspiration we all need:

Elizabeth Catlett’s Life as a Revolutionary Artist
A retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum conveys that Catlett’s artistic practice was inseparable from her dedication to Black and Mexican revolutionary politics.
