#art-curation

In three and a half decades as a curator, Elizabeth Ferrer had never faced the need to remove an artwork from an opened exhibition. But a month after she inaugurated a major show of Chicano photography at The Cheech in California, which included a 1969 portrait of Cesar Chavez, horrific allegations of sexual assault against the labor leader hit the front pages of national newspapers. Today in Hyperallergic, Ferrer writes candidly about historical revision, a delicate curatorial calculus, and having to make "a decision I could live with."

At the entrance, a shelf displays ceramics made by local craftspeople, each piece accompanied by an introduction to the creative who made it. It feels more like a crafts exhibition than a hotel front entrance-and that's precisely the point.

Whether it's a slept-on post-punk album from the '80s, a new sci-fi novel, or a cult classic horror movie, we're always finding new obsessions here at The Verge - and we want to share those obsessions with you. Sometimes that might be a new release, but often it's going to be something a little older, something not necessarily plastered all over TikTok or sitting at the top of the charts on Spotify.
