Acting as a signpost for a new exhibition at PS1, “Green Desert” by Heather Rowe sensitizes visitors to visual textures, literal referents, and artistic nuance, keys to experiencing much of the work that has been brought together. “Between Spaces,” a rare exhibition organized by the junior curatorial staff—namely Tim Goossens and Kate McNamara—begs viewers to pay close attention to moments of transition and liminality, which are not limited to physical space. In eight thoughtfully arranged galleries, the curators present recent work by eleven relatively young artists.
Over the years, BOMB magazine has amassed hundreds of interviews between artists. If you read closely, the interviews begin to speak to themselves. Some of them are related by topic, medium, genre, or social network. When the articles themselves begin relating to their interiority, they collectively build an intraview, a reflexive look. Following is a hyper-linked collage to the latest archived interviews presented as a mock-up of the intraview.
When I think of Pam Joseph’s work, I imagine standing before Bernini’s classic sculpture Pluto and Proserpina, with Pluto wrestling a naked Proserpina, while behind it as backdrop is a Victoria Secret billboard advertisement, the golden cleavage, faceless head thrown back in pleasure, blown ten-stories high in technicolor.
Our friends at PEN America are hosting a big event next Monday, November 9, at WNYC’s Green Space to benefit PEN’s Prison Writing Program. Breakout: Voices from Inside, their second annual benefit reading and reception, featuring readings by Mary Gaitskill, Eric Bogosian, John Turturro, Patricia Smith, Jamal Joseph, Lemon Andersen, and others. As an installment of WNYC’s signature series “The NEXT New York Conversation,” this event will be broadcast and live-streamed, allowing incarcerated men and women with radio and/or internet access to listen to the event and join our audience.
In late October, The School of Visual Arts held its 23rd Annual National Conference on Liberal Arts and the Education of Artists, entitled Visions of War: The Arts Represent Conflict. The week of events included a play, a panel discussion on photography, and a series of films exploring the emotional scars of war. The conference was held at the Algonquin Hotel, and I sat in on one of the sessions called Images of the Other.
Halloween came and went this week, and the scariest thing in the art world may have been the pop-out prosthetic tongue in Urs Fischer’s New Museum show—unless, that is, the politicization of art and cultural heritage gives you the heebie-jeebies.
