In Spector's show, I'm glad to renew acquaintance with Dread Scott's "On the Impossibility of Freedom in a Country Founded on Slavery and Genocide," a photograph of a 2014 performance in which the artist - one of our best - had himself blasted with fire hoses in memory of police attacks on Black protesters in Birmingham, Ala., in 1963. And to be able to re-experience, even in a distracting group setting, Raven Chacon's breath-catching audio piece "Silent Choir (Standing Rock)," a highlight of the 2022 Whitney Biennial, is a gift.
