issue 028: histories, intimacies & physicalities
Your roundup of last week’s top artist-first reads. Histories revisited. Intimacy reframed. Objects reimagined.
Hi artsies,
Does anyone else feel like, as we near the end of the year, time is suddenly so scarce? In these moments, discovering new artists or new work (so many great films are out and exhibitions are on!!) feels extra special. This week’s roundup leans into that feeling: artists revisiting histories, reframing intimacy, and reimagining physicality in ways that reward whatever time you can spare.
Revisiting History
These reads put often-overlooked artists back in the frame, placing their work in today’s context and in conversation with their contemporaries.
Reframing Intimacy
These reads turn toward the relationships around the work, reminding us that intimacy, care, and reputation are the core of what we’re really looking at now.
Reimagining Physicality
These reads dwell on the physicality of art, from experiments with material (cardboard, paint) to attempts to catch shifting atmospheres (weather, nature) on the surface.
Wishing you all an artful week,
‘til then,
