An article on Wednesday about the shooting outside a Target store in Austin, Texas, on Monday, misstated, using information from an initial police report, the name of the Target employee who died in the attack. The name was Rosa Machuca, not Hector Leopoldo Martinez Machuca. (The article was updated after the police released an update on the employee's name.)
An art review on Friday about MoMA PS1's 'The Gatherers' show misstated the gender of the artist Karimah Ashadu. She is a woman, not a man.
A film review on Friday about the documentary-musical 'Songs From the Hole' misidentified the city where a man was killed. It was Bellflower, Calif. — not Long Beach.
An article this weekend on Page 120 about censorship of creative works contains several errors. It refers incorrectly to the artist Dread Scott's 1989 installation 'What Is the Proper Way to Display a U.S. Flag?' The exhibit offered visitors the choice of stepping on a flag while answering that question in a guest book; it did not require them to step on the flag. The article misstates the number of photographs of soldiers' coffins draped with American flags in the installation. There was one such image, not multiple images. The article also misstates the artist Andres Serrano's number of solo exhibitions in his career. He's had about 20 solo museum exhibitions in Europe and abroad, and many fewer in the United States — not about 20 solo in Europe and only one in the United States. And because of a production error, the article misquotes John Waters on what a Maryland film censor said to him about his 1974 feature 'Female Trouble.' Waters said she told him, 'You can't have that cunnilingus scene,' not 'You can have that cunnilingus scene.'
A picture caption with an article this weekend on Page 140 about the artist Robert Longo, relying on information from a publicist, misstates the materials used in one of his works. It is a charcoal drawing of a pit of snakes, not an ink-and-charcoal drawing.
