 December 22, 2022Good morning. 🌧️ It's starting to feel like Christmas (Western Christmas, at least), and it's again a chance to get creative with your tree decorations. As an inspiration, we give you a glimpse into an exhibition at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit featuring thousands of Christmas ornaments that you never knew existed or should exist. In a surprise announcement earlier this month, the Kochi Biennale in India was postponed just hours before its planned opening on December 12. Reporting from Kochi, writer Aastha D explains what went wrong and how organizers are scrambling to finally open the exhibition this week. And in today's news of human folly and evil, vandals irreparably damaged 30,000-year-old Indigenous rock art in Australia by scrawling on top of the original drawings. This is happening too often in too many places around the world. Lastly, read Gabrielle Selz's review of Dean Byington’s alarming but mesmerizing collage paintings, which take the world's largest mines as backdrops. See you tomorrow. — Hakim Bishara, Senior Editor  What’s the Weirdest Ornament You’d Hang on Your Tree?An exhibition on view at Detroit’s Henry Ford Museum features 7,000 Christmas ornaments, from the traditionally festive to the deeply bizarre. | Sarah Rose Sharp WHAT'S HAPPENING  Aerial view of the Aspinwall House, one of the Kochi-Muziris Biennale's main venues (photo by Swanoop John; courtesy the Kochi Biennale Foundation)
