“I always find desire a useful tool — bringing us closer to things we don’t want to be close to.” – Buck Ellison For @ft_weekend I spoke to Californian artist @buckellison about his seductive portrayals of corporate finance and American mega-wealth, ahead of the exhibition ‘Genuine Fake Premium Economy’ @icalondon “A combination of resonant detail and ambiguity has become one of the defining characteristics of Ellison’s art. ‘The work is more powerful if my personal politics are not on display in it,’ he says. ‘It’s able to slip both ways’. […] In place of dogmatic argument, he leaves us with a droll wit. ‘I do think humour is one of the best forms of critique. It may be all we have left.’” @financialtimes

Untitled (Girls' Room), 2023 is now part of the collection of the Fondazione Palazzo Bentivoglio, Bologna @palazzobentivoglio This image shows Ralph Lauren’s “Allison” sheet set from the mid-1980s. Advances in prenatal testing let parents buy gendered nursery decor before a baby was born. The set’s popularity also mirrored wider trends then: a reaction against 1970s feminism, a rise in evangelical family values, and Reagan-era cuts to programs that supported two‑income families. Thank you to @barbatigallery
