The moment of truth arrived in the Hudson Valley village of Kinderhook, New York on Tuesday night, when the zoning appeals board officially acknowledged that Nick Cave’s Truth Be Told installation is art, not an illegal sign a fact already recognised by the art world. The board unanimously agreed that the work, consisting of black vinyl letters measuring 21 feet high and some 160 feet across, placed on the façade of Jack Shainman Gallery’s upstate outpost The School in October and meant to inspire dialogue about racial justice in the wake of the policing killing of George Floyd, is “a political message in art” and not regulatable by village code.

As they said they would do when they adopted the plan last month, councilmembers have submitted what they would like to see changed, removed or added to the years-in-the-making master plan update that’s meant to guide the city’s growth over the next 20 years.
What’s missing, members said in requests they submitted to Council President Cynthia Newbille are details on how the city plans to move forward on such things as improving public schools, transforming public housing and providing more housing options for lower-income residents.
