From the Musée Picasso in Paris to millennia-old underground tunnels in Arles, Calle’s long-celebrated conceptual practice blurs boundaries between art and life to create profoundly touching works that speak to both the universal and the mundane.

Sophie Calle was born in 1953 in Paris, France, and lives and works in Malakoff, France. Learn more about the artist: https://art21.org/sophiecalle.

Court sides with ACLU and queer performers over federal trans funding restrictions

The right has long self-identified as the protector of free speech, except when that speech has to do with race, gender, sexuality, queerness, science, (non-Christian) religion, and anything else the Trump regime deems seditious, such as being critical of the government.

Four plaintiffs—Rhode Island Latino Arts, National Queer Theater, The Theater Offensive and Theatre Communications Group—sued federal officials following the signing of an executive order which directed the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to disfavor grant applications that “promote gender ideology.” Artists, represented by the ACLU, argued this provision violated the First Amendment, the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and the Fifth Amendment.
