Curated by Olga Kopenkina and Gregory Sholette, Cancel This Show! invites artists to reclaim their role as social critics through anger, humor, and parody at a time when dissenting voices increasingly face repression.
The works address xenophobia, racism, urban militarization, classism, queerphobia, and threats to democratic institutions, drawing inspiration from historic activist exhibitions such as Angry Arts Week (1967) and Artists Call (1984).
Featuring work by Todd Ayoung, Zoe Beloff, Jim Costanzo, Molly Crabapple, Yevgeniy Fiks, Noah Fischer with Jesse Lambert and CM Campbell, Kiyo Gutierrez, Theodore A. Harris, Jerry Kearns, Josh MacPhee, Julian Louis Phillips, Jenny Polak, Shellyne Rodriguez, Dread Scott, and Seth Tobocman
