As part of a "Decade of Centenaries" of key dates surrounding Irish independence, the Dublin government has navigated several potentially sensitive commemorations, including the Easter Rising of 1916, which set off armed rebellion, the election of Ireland's first pro-independence Parliament in 1918 and the first fatal shots in the War of Independence the next year.

Ever since 2008, Chinese commemorations of the disaster have been shadowed by tensions between the official ceremonies — dwelling on the heroism of the soldier-rescuers and the speed of reconstruction — and unofficial efforts to mourn the dead and renew calls for an official reckoning with why so many died in building collapses, especially students in schools.

EGON SCHIELE: The Jubilee Show RELOADED at the Leopold Museum is a reboot of the same exhibition I reviewed last year, which distinguished itself from the pack of Schiele commemorations by apportioning the artist's prodigious output across nine porous categories: The Self; The Ego; Mother and Children; Spirituality; The Naked Woman; The Transformation of the Female Image; Landscapes; Cityscapes; and Portraits.
