This week, the Brooklyn Museum hosts a panel of female museum directors, and Susan Cianciolo has a show at Bridget Donahue Gallery.
Through Saturday, March 28
11. “Nicholas Galanin: Carry a Song / Disrupt an Anthem” at Peter Blum
Fresh off being featured in the 2019 Whitney Biennial—and being among the artists whose demands to remove their work from the show helped push embattled trustee Warren B. Kanders out of the boardroom for good—Nicholas Galanin returns to New York for his first solo gallery exhibition in the city. The show brings together works in multiple media to surface the stories and resilience of Indigenous American communities (especially the Tlingit and Unangax̂ communities of which Galanin is a part), as well as visualize the inherent conflict between their independence and the merciless colonial history of the United States.
Location: 176 Grand Street
