Through linguistic systems and pop cultural references, Renée Green and Jim Shaw uncover the ways that United States history is manipulated to veil systemic and government abuses. Meanwhile, a show at Brooklyn’s Amant looks at the failings and potential of education in the US. It’s a lot to take in, but you’ll be glad you did (and Green’s show, at Dia Beacon, is a good excuse for a summertime day trip). While you’re out and about, check out multimedia artist Tim Hawkinson’s intimate turn to painting.
