Artworld surrealism: When Artists Are Too Old to Be “Emerging” hyperallergic.com/1042641/when...

When Artists Are Too Old to Be “Emerging”

If the art world is serious about equity, it has to stop equating emergence with youth and start building structures that reflect the multiplicity of artistic timelines.

Kicking off fall semester ✨ Inspiration comes from the most unexpected places—sometimes from the streets, sometimes from the scroll.
This week, Robert L. Cormack’s Coup de Grâce and Lonely Street popped up in my feed. What a find. 🔥 #bobcmack #arteducation #urbanspace

Es Capes c.2025 In Spanish, escape echoes the word escape - to flee, to run, to break away. It’s that fleeting moment of liberation when you’re being pursued, by danger, by fear, by uncertainty, and suddenly, a door opens. You don’t look back. You just run. And for that instant, you're free.

The Trump administration’s reduction of the Social Security workforce has created a manufactured crisis. The American public still faces long wait times to get answers about their benefits, and the remaining SSA staff are more strained than ever.

Efforts to shrink Social Security's phone wait times are putting a strain elsewhere

The Social Security Administration reassigned some field office employees in an effort to bring down lengthy phone wait times. But workers say these reassignments have been disruptive for staff.

Last night was special! A chance to share my work among artists, writers, and poets. I’m deeply grateful to the #VermontStudioCenter for creating a space where this kind of exchange and connection can happen.

Being misunderstood isn’t essential to art. Ambiguity can add depth, but if your core message is lost, it may be a communication gap, not a sign of authenticity. Misinterpretation happens — but it shouldn't be the aim. #artist #artstudio

Without insurance, or subsidized (sorry for that votes against medical aid) medical assistance, this is the reality.

It’s a tool and like any tool it can be misused.

Yes, there's a lot of cheating with AI. But another, equally profound, change is taking place: Students are turning to artificial intelligence as an all-purpose study tool, recasting how they think about learning and reshaping their relationships with classmates and professors. chroni.cl/3TLPLAS

These Students Use AI a Lot — but Not to Cheat

For some students, the technology can effectively replace collaborative learning with classmates and office hours with professors.
