Hyperallergic editor-in-chief Hakim Bishara highlights major industry and cultural stories, led by Pace Gallery cutting one-third of its artists and one-fifth of its staff, including removing 50 artists from its roster and laying off 50 staff members. CEO Marc Glimcher described the move as a “model correction,” coming just years after Pace opened a $100 million flagship building in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and promoted itself as a leader in crypto art. The roundup also spotlights curator Laura Raicovich’s argument that society’s problems are worsened by separating art from everyday life and that repair requires reintegrating art and life. Additional items mentioned include over 100 participants threatening legal action against the Venice Biennale Foundation and coverage of artists and exhibitions such as Saif Azzuz, Ali Eyal, Edward Hopper, and Celia Paul.
