issue 038: pre-storm musings
My top 15 art reads from last week: artist interviews, exhibition reviews, and commentary featuring Jasper Johns, Luigi Ghirri, Nicolas Party, Mickalene Thomas, William Eggleston, and more.
Hi artsies,
As the Snowpocalypse (I’m not convinced 12” quite earns the name, but let’s indulge the drama) rolls into NYC, I’m sharing my top art reads from last week, plus a roundup of art news:
Times, a new experimental art non-profit opened in New York
The US National Portrait Gallery revealed the winner of its triennial portraiture award: Brooklyn-based artist Kameron Neal for a video work created using NYPD surveillance footage from the 1960s and 70s
Art Gallery of Ontario chose not to acquire a Nan Goldin video work because of her comments on Israel’s War in Gaza
Marina Abramović unveiled a new work titled THE BUS at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos
The Met Opera is considering selling its massive Chagall murals—but they would remain in place
SFMOMA acquired 85 modern and contemporary pieces
This week’s art reads feel assured, reverent, and quietly expansive—focused on influence, memory, and how moments (both big and small) shape the way we create.
Enjoy!
Renewal and Resistance
Saturated and Exposed
Quiet Influence
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies
‘til next week,
