This week: Recreating Ruben's studio, Brooklyn honors the legacy of rapper Ka, the largest map of the cosmos to date, Ratatouille in real life, and are video games art?
In his cheekily titled 2010 print "Illegal Alien's Guide to Somewhere Over the Rainbow," artist Enrique Chagoya skewers the global scale of environmental destruction and xenophobia. It's one of several works on view in (Re)Print at the Print Center New York, open through December 14, asking us to consider the reproduced imagery that informs our deep-seated beliefs as anti-immigrant sentiment rages unabated in the United States.
