Desk note: The wire on this story remains thin — the ARTNEWS morning-links entry is the only English-language reference currently available. Monexus is treating the report as a significant institutional signal but is holding back on characterisation of any specific exhibition or curator until the full document is on the public record. Readers following this story should expect a more granular account once the underlying report text is published.
