The Art Tarot Predicts a Fateful Fall
An eventful season in the art world, Johanna Hedva surrenders to the cosmos, Derriann Pharr’s cycles of history, and other stories.
As the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer in the fall season, the art world seems to be reflecting on the cycles of change and uncertainty. Hyperallergic's Art Tarotscope for the Fall Equinox predicts a fateful fall, suggesting that many of the world's conflicts will be resolved by the end of the year. Senior Editor Valentina Di Liscia is inspired by Derriann Pharr's multimedia works at the Studio Museum, which explore themes of trauma, metamorphosis, and rebirth.
Johanna Hedva's exhibition at the Center for Art, Research and Alliances begins with the announcement of its own end, symbolized by a giant vial dripping viscous, ink-black liquid onto the gallery floor. As the Morgan Library's tarot show showcases 500 years of this ancient practice's relevance for artists and practitioners, many believe that major waves of change are on the horizon, particularly in the political realm, by the end of the year.
