- Kavi Gupta Gallery’s facebook reviews have suddenly been filled up with trolling comments from Trump supporters. It’s a response to gallery artist Scott Reeder’s public sculpture in Chicago which spells out the words “Real Fake” in fake gold. Good to see these Trump supporters use their time so productively.

- Artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg has produced 3-D-printed portraits based on the DNA Chelsea Manning sent the artist while in prison for releasing classified material to Wikileaks. The show will feature 30 portraits of Manning during her gender transition and is credited to both Dewey-Hagborg and Manning. [ARTnews]
- This looks so cool—for a special vinyl 7” release to benefit Planned Parenthood, Merge Records and its flagship band Superchunk, asked their favorite contemporary artists including Joyce Pensato, Brian Calvin, and Amy Sillman to create unique works of art the size of a 7” record sleeve. Now they are being auctioned off on Paddle8—at low, low prices. Worth noting that Merge is a huge supporter of the arts. Also, as per the paddle8 copy, “Along with the original art, auction winners receive an exclusive pink swirl vinyl edition of the record. All net proceeds will be donated to Planned Parenthood South Atlantic.” Get yourself some art! [paddle8]
- Sparked by Uber CEO and raging misogynist Travis Kalanick’s resignation, Joanne Wilson talks about her venture investments to women-led initiatives and how she believes women are breaking through the caustic tech and vc culture. Don’t tell Marissa Mayer. [Gotham Gal]
- Hyperallergic publishes their strangest comic yet. This one predicts the style of artist you are based on your snack preferences. If you like ice cream, for example, you’re an Abstract Expressionist. If you like twizzlers you’re a landscape painter. What? [Hyperallergic]
- The rent stabilization freeze is no longer. Renters will see a hike of up to 2%. [Curbed]
