Why We Need New Art Institutions

The Art Angle ·

2025/09/04

Most of us can agree: we are living through a cultural crisis. It doesn’t come from a single source—it isn’t just algorithms, aesthetics, politics, or the economy. It’s the convergence of all these forces, and beneath them, the erosion of institutions that once anchored collective life. Over the past decade, digital platforms, like social media, promised to be a new kind of connective tissue—a democratizing force to replace more slow-moving institutions. But while platforms have transformed our

2025/08/21

If you want to know which artist is having the biggest year in museums, there is one name that springs to mind for me: Cara Romero.Since her first big breakout a decade ago at Santa Fe Indian Market, Romero has been steadily growing in influence.

And it moves between a variety of themes that are extremely important in museums right now: Indigenous identities,

Why This New Art Trend Feels So Familiar

The Art Angle ·

2025/08/14

In art history, the pastoral has long offered a vision of nature as sanctuary—Arcadian meadows, idyllic countrysides, and timeless landscapes painted as if untouched by human conflict or change. It is a mode steeped in longing, often idealizing rural life as a place of harmony, simplicity, and beauty. From the verdant backdrops of Renaissance allegories to the sunlit fields of 19th-century landscape painting, the pastoral tradition has provided generations of artists and their audiences a gentle
