Sholette's book examines how artists navigate a collapse of historical time, tracing a rupture through Brexit, Trump, COVID, and the J6 Capitol attack, and arguing that MAGA acts as a \"retro-vanguard\" manufacturing its own imaginary past. Against this, he proposes the \"phantom archive,\" in which artists resist through repair and reenactment, from Belarus protest art to Michael Rakowitz's reconstruction of a destroyed Assyrian artifact. Mohaiemen, whose work on excavating institutional memory is featured in the book, joins for an evening on memory, resistance, and what remains unfinished.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/the-radical-unpresent-55021/", "official_url": "http://www.printedmatter.org/programs/events/2291", "image": "https://noky.io/images/7a3977df7f7039555c697541f88f912ddf6e822803cc0839507acc201bfe0272-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-05T18:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Printed Matter, Inc.", "address": "West 11th Street 231", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Broken: The Power of the Fragment", "start": "2026-09-25T00:00:00-04:00", "end": "2027-01-24T00:00:00-05:00", "place": "Matthew Marks Gallery", "address": "West 24th Street 523, 10011 New York", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "https://www.palazzostrozzi.org/en/tickets-opening-hours/", "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/sculpture"], "description": "An exhibition celebrating the evocative power of the fragment in the history of sculpture, from archaeology to contemporary art.
