Friction — the ubiquitous buzzword that captures the simultaneous delight and discomfort of doing things the slow way — is at the heart of artists Pap Souleye Fall and Char Jeré’s current show at Subtitled NYC. It also reflects the overall spirit of this little exhibition space and of a burgeoning movement to reject our culture of optimization in favor of a bumpier, more intimate, less alienating experience. In the news, pride will not be the capital sin that sends Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to hell, but it's the vice we take the most pleasure in ridiculing him for. The former Fox News host has reportedly banned press photographers from the Pentagon over what he perceived as “unflattering” images of him taken during briefings of the US-Israel war on Iran. Writer Sarah Rose Sharp has a few choice words for the “secretary of war” below. News flash, Pete: Evil people are just ugly. *—Valentina Di Liscia, senior editor* --- [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/03/IMG_4740-1.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/the-tiny-brooklyn-project-space-resisting-the-gallery-machine/) Installation view of work by Pap Souleye Fall at Subtitled NYC (photo by Lisa Yin Zhang/**Hyperallergic*) ### [The Tiny Brooklyn Project Space Resisting the Gallery Machine](https://hyperallergic.com/the-tiny-brooklyn-project-space-resisting-the-gallery-machine/) The non-commercial Greenpoint-based space Subtitled NYC models the tentative ways we make do in everyday life. | Lisa Yin Zhang --- SPONSORED [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/03/HyperallergicblackwLM.png)](http://www.ankiking.com/?ref=hyperallergic.com) ***Anki King: Then and Now** **on View at The Lace Mill in Kingston, New York** This exhibition by Norwegian artist Anki King features over a decade of drawings and paintings and a substantial presentation of her ceramic sculptures.

Cuyler on Nasser Mohamed's "[Don’t Believe What Art Basel Qatar Is Trying to Sell You](https://hyperallergic.com/dont-believe-what-art-basel-qatar-is-trying-to-sell-you/)": Thank you for sharing what happens when cultural policy, cultural diplomacy, cultural tourism, and marginalized identities collide in an oppressive regime. As a non-citizen bystander witnessing the injustice it can be difficult to know what role one can and should play in these situations. I appreciate the invitation to consider. --- ## From the Archive [![You Can’t Finish This Brian Eno Doc in a Single Lifetime](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/03/eno_still2.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/you-cant-finish-this-brian-eno-doc-in-a-single-lifetime/) Still from **Eno* (2024), directed by Gary Hustwit ### [You Can’t Finish This Brian Eno Doc in a Single Lifetime](https://hyperallergic.com/you-cant-finish-this-brian-eno-doc-in-a-single-lifetime/) An algorithm organizes a unique ordering of scenes for each screening, meaning there are millions of versions of the film. | Dan Schindel
