Total Eclipse of the Art
Artpil / Prescription 007

 

Americans prepare for today’s total solar eclipse whose shadow’s path will eerily trace the Union-Confederate fault line (almost) after a week of heightened racial tension in cities across the nation. Barcelona suffered a terrorist attack, followed by labor protests which shut down 8 of the leading art institutions including MACBA and the Historical Archive. Strange Days…. Welcome to the 007th edition of Prescriptions. Here is our review of the week in the arts.

Deconstructing the West Wing
