"I noticed myself longing for those simpler times when 'eliminating the artist's hand' from art-making - what some have called 'deskilling' or 'de-arting' - was supposed to provide a pathway back to the true self."

New York is currently showcasing a wealth of art, including a major exhibition of Metcalf Chateau featuring Japanese-Hawaiian artists. The city contrasts the glamour of events like the Met Gala with protests against wealth inequality. Notable artists such as Lynette Yiadom-Boakye and Seydou Kéita are highlighted for their impactful works. Public art celebrating the legacy of 'Little Syria' and exhibitions featuring Marcel Duchamp and Édouard Glissant emphasize the city's rich cultural landscape.
