A super PAC turned artists’ collective has launched a news network in the lobby of the Brooklyn Museum. “News for creative emancipation,” reads their mission statement. “This is journalism made by the people making culture.”
Most people don’t trust the news anymore, but everyone still seems to want a piece of it. Hedge funds are scooping up TV stations. Billionaires are buying newspapers and tech platforms. A few hours before Elon Musk finalized a deal to purchase Twitter, last month, a superturned artists’ collective launched a news network in the lobby of the Brooklyn Museum.
An artist named Christina Caputo, one of the producers, arrived at ten. “I don’t necessarily call myself an artist,” she said. Caputo led the crew in a “grounding session.” “Let’s take a moment and appreciate each other,” she said. “There are gonna be moments when there are challenges, and there are gonna be moments when we love each other.” Inhale, exhale; the crew was restless. “Excuse me, where should we place the monitor?” a technician whispered to Gottesman.
Gottesman didn’t mind, he said, looking up at a huge canvas by Cecily Brown that was hanging above the newsroom. “We had to make sure that none of the lights would melt the painting,” he added. He was eating a roasted-vegetable sandwich, and his mouth was smeared with mustard. “This is both an installation and a site of capture,” he said.
A few crew members sat behind the news desk, joking around. “We need some diversity onscreen,” a Black key grip named Che Roacher said. As a camera test, he decided to give an impromptu monologue: “They own everything. It’s fucking impossible. This country is owned by the powerful and rich. It’s been that way forever.” Some of the artists had gathered near the monitors, holding ginger-lemon probiotic sodas, to watch.
