CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 10/12/2026In celebration of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, ‘Designed to Be Red’Featured image is reproduced from new release Designed to Be Red: Native American & Indigenous Graphic Works, published to accompany the exhibition on view now at Poster House, NYC. Credited to Designer Once Known, Indian Power (1971) features Leroy Keams (Diné), a prominent member of the American Indian Movement, “raising a rifle in defiance during protests against strip mining on Black Mesa,” according to author Brian Johnson. “Behind him looms Peabody Energy’s mining operation—the result of agreements made in 1964 and 1966 with Navajo Nation and Hopi tribal leaders that were later revealed to be corrupt; the attorney representing one of the tribes had been paid by Peabody, undermining Tribal sovereignty. The company’s strip mining ravaged the landscape, drained the Navajo aquifer, and forced the relocation of 12,000 to 16,000 Diné—the most significant Indigenous displacement since the Trail of Tears. The poster itself was a tool of resistance: all profits from its sale went to the Black Mesa Defense Fund.” SKUTA HELGASON | DATE 10/11/2026Artbook @ MoMA PS1 Bookstore presents Catherine Liu and Michael Cavadias on 'Traumatized: The New Politics of Public Suffering'Sunday, October 11, at 3 PM, Artbook @ MoMA PS1 Bookstore presents author and cultural theorist Catherine Liu in conversation with actor Michael Cavadias for the launch of 'Traumatized: The New Politics of Public Suffering,' published by Verso.

CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 10/8/2026A new, expanded edition of Ivan McClellan’s contemporary classic, ’Eight Seconds’“Casico & Caslynn, Oklahoma” (2025) is from Eight Seconds: Legacy in Motion, the new, revised and expanded edition of photographer Ivan McClellan’s acclaimed photobook documenting Black cowboy culture. Newly sequenced with more than 90 previously unpublished images, a new introduction and foreword, this book launches Monday, October 12 at Rizzoli. “In the world of rodeo, eight seconds is the time a cowboy must stay on a bareback bronc, saddle bronc or bull for the ride to count,” James Pickens Jr. writes. “Just eight seconds. That’s all. Eight seconds that can mean the difference between walking out of the arena with a smile on your face and money in your pocket—or brushing dust off your jeans, already thinking about the next rodeo. A rodeo cowboy’s life is measured in time.… It’s in the miles driven day and night to reach the next performance. It’s in the diesel fuel, the entry fees and the cost of maintaining horses. It’s in the meals, the vet bills, the breakdowns and the time spent away from family. It’s in the survival jobs between rodeos. It’s all determined by time—by those eight seconds. All of this—and so much more—is captured in the powerful and heartfelt photographs of Ivan McClellan. Through his lens, he invites us into a world seldom seen and even less understood: the Black rodeo.”CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 10/8/2026The Cooper Union presents 'Primers for a Handmade Utopia'
