 September 30, 2022 • View in browserGood morning. ⛅ Today is packed with urgent and interesting stories. First off, we reveal that the Museum of Modern Art in New York faced some of its unionized workers with a rather brutal choice early in the COVID-19 pandemic: forgo your promised salary raises or risk losing your job. I spoke with several MoMA art handlers and preparators who are unionized with Local 30 to bring you this report. I thank them for trusting me with their stories. Also today, our Editor-in-Chief Hrag Vartanian wondered what would happen if he fed the AI image generator DALL-E with press releases of exhibitions at five blue-chip New York galleries. The results will surprise you. There's a lot more, including reviews of Nick Cave and Kapwani Kiwanga, and don't forget to check out our guide for good shows to see around New York in October. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor  We Asked AI to Re-Imagine 5 Blue-Chip Art ExhibitionsI inserted the text from five press releases into DALL-E and this is what it churned out. | Hrag Vartanian SPONSORED  WHAT'S HAPPENING  Member of the Local 30 union at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (courtesy Rachel Abrams)
