Freakier Friday movie review: Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis reunite for chaotic sequel
3/5 stars Freakier Friday, the somewhat belated, uninhibited sequel to 2003's body-swap comedy Freaky Friday, reunites Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as the mother and daughter who previously got to experience what it is like to be the other person. This time, the body-swap madness is multiplied, although bigger does not necessarily mean better. It certainly means more confusion, with viewers frequently left wondering who is who. Lohan's Anna is now a single mother herself, to teen daughter Harper (Julia Butters). She is also on the verge of walking down the aisle with Eric (Manny Jacinto), an expat who also has a daughter, Lily, (Sophia Hammons) in the ninth grade with Harper. Anna and Eric want to move the family to London after the wedding, a plan causing consternation and conflict with their offspring. Play Then, after an encounter with a fortune-teller (Vanessa Bayer), the transfer happens again – only this time, bodies are swapped between Anna and Harper, and Anna's mother Tess (Curtis) and Lily.

Hong Kong-born artist's works finally shown again 36 years after dying young
Born in Hong Kong in 1954, Josephine Cheung Shuk-fong died in 1989 just as she was starting to make a mark on the art world. The painter grew up in Sheung Shui, then a rural part of the city, and died in Toronto, Canada, from lung cancer at the age of 35. Cheung moved to Canada in the 1970s and spent the rest of her short life there, apart from a year in New York. The paintings she left behind either went into storage at her husband's Montreal gallery or were sold privately, while others were kept at her family's home in Toronto. They disappeared from view completely. That changed in June, when Alisan Fine Arts' New York gallery held a commemorative exhibition of Cheung's works that blend abstract expressionism and figurative painting. Untitled (1984), by Josephine Cheung. Photo: Josephine Cheung Behind the exhibition is a moving story of a loyal friend's tireless campaign to restore Cheung's place in art history. Hong Kong-born Nancy Mei-yu Tong is a New York-based documentary filmmaker.

3 newly revived New York art museums to get excited about
New York has long been synonymous with stellar museums. From Staten Island to the Bronx, more than 170 of all kinds are scattered across its five boroughs. Now, after years hidden behind scaffolding, three of the city's most iconic art institutions – The Frick, the New Museum and the Studio Museum in Harlem – will all finally reopen by this autumn. Each is offering expanded public spaces and ambitious inaugural exhibitions, reaffirming their contribution to the city's cultural landscape. One of the country's best collections of European Old Masters will be reinstalled in The Frick's refreshed galleries, with more works on view than ever before. The New Museum's expansion creates a larger platform for emerging and experimental artists, and the Studio Museum in Harlem continues to champion artists of African descent while also providing a new creative hub for the local community. 'What's particularly special is that we've all been around and had a presence in our neighbourhood and the larger ecosystem for years,' says New Museum artistic director Massimiliano Gioni. 'We aren't new kids on the block – each one of us is reconnecting to a long history and making a much larger contribution.' The Frick Collection The Frick has reopened following a five-year renovation. Photo: Nicholas Venezia Advertisement One of New York's most revered museums, The Frick reopened to the public in April following a five-year renovation. The former home of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, the Upper East Side mansion was transformed into a museum in 1935 and has remained largely unchanged since. The art world's go-to architect, Annabelle Selldorf – known for designing blue-chip galleries like David Zwirner and Hauser & Wirth – has given the former family home a major facelift. 'Many people cherish The Frick for its intimate setting, which lets visitors experience masterworks up close with minimal distractions,' says Aimee Ng, John Updike curator (so named for the museum's association with the late author). 'The recent renovation maintains this atmosphere while making the building more accessible.' Lodovico Capponi (1550–1555) by Agnolo Bronzino, part of The Frick Collection. Photo: Joseph Coscia Jr The red rope that has blocked access to the family's private quarters for the last five decades has now been dropped, allowing the public to enter the bedrooms and living quarters, which have been transformed into galleries. 'The domestic scale of these second-floor spaces, including around 10 rooms and several passageways, creates an ideal atmosphere for engaging with the collection,' says Ng of the ornate spaces adorned with ceiling murals, marble fireplaces and intricately carved woodwork. Iconic paintings have been reinstated in their original locations, such as English artist George Romney's evocative Lady Hamilton as 'Nature' (1782), which once again sits above the fireplace in the walnut room, formerly Frick's bedroom. His daughter Helen Clay Frick's room will be filled with luminous, early Italian gold-ground paintings – paying homage to her love for these Renaissance masterpieces. The Frick Research Library is directly accessible from the museum. Photo: Nicholas Venezia The renovation also features new spaces for public programming, including an impressive 218-seat auditorium for concerts and lectures, a new cafe and a revamped reception hall. The galleries now accommodate a greater number of works: while previously only 25 per cent of the 1,800-piece collection – which spans the Renaissance through the 19th century – could be shown, the expansion now allows close to half of all works to be displayed. The inaugural show, 'Vermeer's Love Letters', features rare works by the 17th century Dutch master, one of the most popular names in the collection. Studio Museum in Harlem
