In 'Pre-Existing Condition,' a character isn't defined by abuse, or one actress

NetsDaily Off-Season Report - No. 14
It was somewhat of a busy week of rebuilding for Sean Marks & Co. No big trades but one promising one and a free agent signing. The Brooklyn Nets went the fallen angel route on Friday when they traded 28-year-old Mamadi Diakite, who was unlikely to see much if any action next season, to the Memphis Grizzlies for 22-year-old Ziaire Williams, a former lottery pick and a 2030 second rounder from Dallas. The trade, with its disparity in salaries, was made possible by the availability of the $9.5 million trade exception from the Royce O’Neale trade last February. (Contrary to popular belief, the Nets use most of their exceptions.)

Last chance to see: Exhibition by Arthur Simms, Lucy Fradkin and Philip Hinge at Martos Gallery
Lucy Fradkin, He That Climbs The Tall Tree Has A Right To The Fruit, 2020. Acrylic gouache, collage, pencil on paper with metallic thread, 18 x 18 in 45.7 x 45.7 cm. NEW YORK, NY.- In Arthur Simms’ Icema’s World and Lucy Fradkin’s Good Morning Alice and Other Stories, two artists reflect on the legacies they have come to share as a married couple. These exhibitions are each grounded in tribute to Simms’ mother, Icema Erica Simms (1924–2015), but also emanate into broader examinations of identity, and how it is informed both by those who came before us and those with whom we share our lives. Icema immigrated to New York in the 1960s, leaving her husband and children behind in Kingston, Jamaica, while she worked to facilitate their reunion, caring for an American family in Westchester. Icema is foundational to these two solo exhibitions—had she not endured her first lonely years in New York, Simms and Fradkin may never have met—however, the two artists reciprocate homage and elegy to one another’s families across the works on view. Simms’ work regularly alludes to his wife, her family, and their traditions, and among Fradkin’s most consistent subjects are her husband and his kin. In Ten, Ten, Icema as a Bird (2016), for instance, Simms memorializes his mother with the careful placement of a single stone, a Jewish tradition of remembrance he first encountered through the Fradkins. Fradkin’s Ginger Ridge (2001) is a portrait of Icema, titled for her hometown. Icema holds a cane in Ginger Ridge, an ambulatory signifier of her expatriation, and is enveloped in a nimbus of collaged birds—a species known to migrate.
