As a lawsuit about Marina Abramović’s 2010 MoMA retrospective makes its way through the courts, questions are being raised over museums’ duty towards the people working in boundary-pushing exhibitions. Is the act of harassing a performer akin to vandalizing the art?

Dr. Tyler Nordgren is an astronomer and arguably the world's best-known eclipse artist — he's Night Sky Ambassador to America’s National Parks and creates the travel posters for U.S. communities and parks in the path of solar eclipse totality. Observer talked to him about his passion for sharing the beauty of the night sky. “Solar eclipses create a great intersection of science, history, art, myth and awe,” he explained, telling the publication that his connection with space started the day he was born, the day Apollo 12 landed on the moon.

Ontario photographer Dave Conlon started photographing abandoned homes in 2012, and has spent the ensuing 12 years shooting the insides of forsaken homes, monasteries, hotels and churches. Now, he's planning a trip to Canada's largest ghost town, Anyox, which neighbors the Alaska border and can be accessed only by jet boat or helicopter. He shared his work with Maclean's, and spoke to reporter Alex Cyr about his process, ethics, and brushes with the law.

The #WhitneyBiennial begins this week, and Artsy has identified the #artists to watch: “Working in an array of disciplines, including painting, sculpture, film, and installation, the artists in the exhibition examine notions of ‘the real,’ and what reality means in contemporary society where lived experiences are fractured, changing, and drastically varied. The creative interpretations address themes including migration, labor, ecological instability, gender, and identity.”

Sculptor Richard Hunt, who died last December, had a career that spanned roughly 70 years, with his work appearing in museums and public spaces across the country, and was the first African American sculptor to have a retrospective at MOMA. Block Club Chicago's Rachel Hinton talked to artists who were inspired by his extraordinary life and work. "I would walk past his monument[s] every day — it’s kind of like the pinnacle of what I wanted to be,” sculptor Faheem Majeed says. “Richard is who I wanted to be at a certain point in my life before I even met him.”

If art’s such a central tenet of our culture, why do so many of us feel like we just don’t get it?

Writing for @Vox, Courtney Tenz says to address that feeling, we need to build a relationship with art.

Viewing it is just the beginning. Sitting with it is the trick (especially if it’s uncomfortable).
