MFA Boston Cancels Kimono Event: The Museum of Fine Arts Boston announced plans yesterday to cancel “Kimono Wednesdays,” a weekly event in which visitors were encouraged to don kimonos and pose in front of Claude Monet’s “La Japonaise.” The announcement comes after protestors picketed outside the museum, accusing the institution of minstrelsy, Orientalism, and insensitive cultural appropriation on multiple occasions this past month. Scheduled Wednesday gatherings of kimono-wearers will continue throughout July, and will cease next month. [NYT, Boston Globe]

— Masked Men Stage National Gallery Heist: Four masked men rushed London’s National Gallery on Sunday, making as if they were after Frank Oriti’s painting “Clarity,” 2014. According to a visitor who was part of the ensuing “stampede” of exiting attendees, gallery staff claimed the event was a protest against the institution’s ties to BP; the exhibition in question was for the BP Portrait Award 2015, which the oil company has sponsored since 1989. Still, none of the major groups protesting BP’s museum ties have claimed responsibility: “When we stage protest performances, we engage our audience in the gallery and on social and mass media in the performance,” said Anna Galkina of Art Not Oil. The four men were promptly arrested, and as the gallery confirmed in its official statement, “none of its visitors or staff were physically harmed and nothing was stolen or vandalized.” [Evening Standard, Artnet]

— Is LA Really a “Creatives Paradise”? “I feel as if we, in the cultural classes, have been perfectly happy to get caught up in the mythology that LA is somehow a Xanadu of art-making,” writes Carolina A. Miranda, inspired by the recent slew of LA-happy art op-eds. “Certainly, there are worse places to be an artist. (Brooklyn comes to mind.) But let’s get real about the situation here in Los Angeles.” [LAT]

— Creating the First Gay Art Museum: Here’s an in-depth account of how — and, perhaps more importantly, why — collector Charles Leslie founded the Leslie + Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art, which will soon undergo a major expansion. [Smithsonian]

— Sound Art Makes Waves: “Our culture, since Plato, has focused on the primacy of the eye as a means of understanding the world,” said Sandra Beate Reimann, co-curator of the new Haroon Mirza show at Basel’s Tinguely Museum. “In the past year we’ve seen a trend to go wider and bring in the other senses.” [FT]

— Brooklyn-based artist Nina Faustone is posing naked, save for a pair of ’50s-style white heels, at sites across Lower Manhattan associated with the trade and burial of African American slaves to raise awareness of New York City’s complicity in the slave trade. The resulting photo series is simply titled “White Heels.” [DNAinfo]

— The torch carried by Caitlyn Jenner at the 1984 Olympic Games in Lake Tahoe, Nevada will be offered at Heritage Auctions in Chicago, and is expected to go for upwards of $20,000. [Artnet]

— The breakout star of Rihanna’s recent “Bitch Better Have My Money” music video is Sanam, a Desi artist whom the singer discovered via Instagram. [Independent]
