art + social practice

Andrea Bowers’s retrospective at The Hammer opened on Friday, June 24, just after the Supreme Court released its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, putting in stark relief the importance of her work, which centers feminist activism at its core.

Tonight at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, at a gala dinner toasting the opening of the 57th edition of the Carnegie International, the winners of the exhibition’s prizes were announced, with Lynette Yiadom-Boakye taking home the Carnegie Prize and Postcommodity the Fine Prize. Each award comes with $10,000, and the Carnegie Prize also includes a medal, designed by Tiffany & Co., that has been presented to each of its winners since the exhibition was founded in 1896.
