These welfare benefits saddle the country with debt, he says, scolding the government for not making France more competitive in the marketplace. You turn off the podcast because you can’t listen to any more of this evil idiocy. You finally finish reading a much-hyped new novel and wonder why you made yourself go through such torture. You return to Marcel Proust’s *In Search of Lost Time* to cleanse your mind’s palette. “When one is in love one has no love left for anyone.” You go to a gala dinner and remind yourself of the golden rule at these events: always go with the steak because you never know with chicken.You feel snazzy in your new tuxedo and remember that the last time you wore one was during the Arab Spring. You meet with Algerian-French artist Kader Attia in a Tunisian restaurant in Manhattan for an interview about a show he’s curating in India. His face full of wisdom and passion, he encourages you to wear your wounds on your sleeve. In the cold morning breeze, you see two doves perching on the wing of an eagle sculpture on a tall column. You think about how all good art has some connection to music, and how houses always look good when they’re painted green. Nina Simone sings “Tomorrow will be the 22nd century” in your ears. Meanwhile, generation 6-7 is remaking May 68. *—Hakim Bishara, editor-in-chief* --- [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/10/krasner-pollock-2.jpg)](https://hyperallergic.com/the-mets-krasner-and-pollock-show-is-a-breathtaking-upending/) [ The Met’s Krasner and Pollock Show Is a Breathtaking Upending ](https://hyperallergic.com/the-mets-krasner-and-pollock-show-is-a-breathtaking-upending/) I was married to an artist once. It was not a good experience, although calling it “an experience” makes it sound like a unified, parsable thing, and it wasn’t that, either. We’re all adults here, is what I’m getting at — so no one should imagine that anyone has bulletproof insight into anyone else’s romantic relationship, much less their own. Certainly, once a relationship is over, it becomes a moving target in permanence: the good, the bad, and the ugly all trading places, each a microcosm in which various genres of chaos and ecstasy hold sway. And whatever we may think of other people’s marriages, we must take care. What we believe we know is almost always something we meant to say about ourselves. The phone call is coming from inside the building. If you see something, well, see something. | Lucy Ives [Read More ](https://hyperallergic.com/the-mets-krasner-and-pollock-show-is-a-breathtaking-upending/) --- SPONSORED [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/51/f8/51f871d8-b6be-4a73-b958-0ca4fff0110a/content/images/2026/10/download--1-.jpeg)](https://myfivethings.com/class/carol-mancusi-ungaro-conserving-the-art-of-our-time/?ref=hyperallergic.com) ****Live and Online: This Wednesday Night** Join preeminent art restorer Carol Mancusi-Ungaro for her live 90-minute class and discover the Five Things She’s Learned about preserving works by some of America’s greatest postwar painters – including Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Cy Twombly.
