John Yau on the Whitney\u2019s retrospective of the Pop titan, an interview on Indigenous perseverance with Congress hopeful Jonathan Nez, and art films to see at DOC NYC.<\/p>\n

Roy Lichtenstein’s hand-painted Ben-Day dots, among his other cheeky twists on mass-produced gestures, were once “satirical and ironic commentaries on American consumerism,” reflects critic John Yau. But what can they do for us in 2026? That\u2019s the inquiry at the heart of Yau\u2019s review of the new Lichtenstein retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art, an exhibition that, he argues, fails to reckon with the Pop titan\u2019s anachronism and stylistic limitations.<\/p>\n

With just three weeks to go before the critical midterm elections in the United States, Congress hopeful Jonathan Nez, former president of the Navajo Nation, is hoping to turn a red district blue in Arizona. On the heels of Indigenous Peoples\u2019 Day, I spoke to him about how his Din\u00e9 upbringing influenced his political thinking and Trump\u2019s threats to sacred Native sites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our conversation comes right as advocacy groups sue the federal government to protect Utah\u2019s Nine Mile Canyon from oil tanker truck transit that could threaten ancient petroglyphs \u2014 Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar has that story.<\/p>\n

\t\tJonathan Nez on Indigenous Perseverance<\/p>\n

\t<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\t\tThis November, Jonathan Nez could become the first Native American to represent Arizona in Congress. Nez, who served as president of the Navajo Nation from 2019 to 2023, is running to flip the state\u2019s largest congressional district by area, a seat currently held by Republican Eli Crane. His \u201cWarrior Up\u201d platform is structured into four pillars, a tribute to the number\u2019s significance to Din\u00e9 people, for whom the world is bound by four sacred mountains, one in each cardinal direction. | Valentina Di Liscia\n\t<\/p>\n

\"\"Saturday Night Live has long stopped being funny, but Shane Gillis\u2019s awful and sexist monologue<\/a> this weekend, in which he referred to women who wear shorts at the gym as \u201cwhores,\u201d is a new level of egregious. [New York Times]Carron J. Phillips imagines the public response to the “Cornell 7” alleged gang rape if the accused were Black men, writing for Madame Noire<\/a> on \u201cthe inequalities of justice in America, along with the idea that a certain segment of people are historically viewed as being \u2018above\u2019 such behavior.\u201dIn the \u201960s and \u201970s, underground filmmaker and organizer Jonas Mekas mused on avant-garde cinema, artistic independence, and the role of institutions in writings for the Village Voice and others. Read a selection of passages<\/a> on e-flux Notes.After years of protests by animal rights activists, New York City is set to approve a ban on Central Park carriage horses<\/a>. [Gothamist]The fallout from generative AI continues. Getty Images intends to file for bankruptcy<\/a> and go private, with CEO\u00a0Craig Peters citing the rise of AI images as contributing to \u201cdeclining agency demand\u201d for original photographs. Fascinating, and very, very sad. [Fast Company]”Painters not only represented the empire but acted in service of its far-reaching tentacles.” I realize that Hyperallergic is a visual art magazine. I appreciate it very much, and I listen to a lot of classical music. Music also acted in service of the empire. I can’t listen to Elgar very much, and he’s just one British composer. I have a hard time listening to Copeland as well.<\/p>\n
