After a short break, it’s round 6 of my ongoing series of conversations with Michael Itkoff, this time about art fairs and art bubbles. (more)

Philadelphia and Cleveland have a lot in common in part because they each are eclipsed by a nearby major, international metropolitan area–New York and Chicago respectively. When our host (we were in Cleveland at the beginning of February) heard I admired Cleveland, she seemed truly thrilled. So for natives of both cities there’s a diffidence, [...]

The Live Creature and Ethereal Things
The specific genesis of, The Live Creature and Ethereal Things, was my family’s move to suburban Chicago. I found myself an outsider in a town where I knew no one. This created in me a heightened awareness of how I looked and how people looked at me. I began to [...]

Specifically made for the Capella MACBA, A Chain of Events, an installation by the artist Pep Duran (Vilanova i la Geltrú, 1955), should be seen as a work-essay. Made in two parts—Retaule laic (Secular Altarpiece, 2010–11) and Peça escrita (Written Piece, 2010–11)—the intervention brings together and distils the intellectual, formal and aesthetic influences at the core of this artist’s way of working and thinking.

Car horns. Mobile phone rings. Traffic crossing signals. The tweets and chirps of urban birds sound very different than those of their country cousins. These sounds facilitate and in some ways control humans as we move and find our way through the city…

‘There, I Fixed It’ stands for an attitude, a way of looking at materials and problems that is at the same time bold and unexpected. These problems can be small and trivial, but also large and global. The exhibition features R. Buckminster Fuller (USA), Krijn Giezen (NL), René Heyvaert (BE), Mark Manders with Roger Willems (NL), Reto Pulfer (CH), Josué Rauscher (FR) and presents work that is characterized by the ability to turn the ordinary into something extraordinary.

In talking to dozens of artists, curators, and critics over the past few months, over and over I have heard the same term used by those located within the community to criticize Turkish art: didactic. Merriam-Webster defines didactic as “intended to convey instruction and information as well as pleasure and entertainment;” synonyms include “sermonic,” “moralizing” [...]

Miriam Böhm Work from her oeuvre. “In her photographs, Böhm enquirers into the very nature of the art object; how it is made, perceived, and how way we derive meaning from it. She uses the act of photography as a series of iterations, taking many photographs of one object or motif, from different perspectives, and [...]

The exhibition explores the relation between art and fashion. Since the sixties art and fashion share the same avant-garde feeling. From then on fashion no longer expresses power, money and social class. Instead it starts to express art and culture. Fashion and popular visual cultures—like pop art—became from the sixties on the new visual aesthetics of society. Fashion and Art became in the same way conceptual.

At 7:30 am, the alarm clock on my Nokia cell phone rouses me from sleep. In preparation of the minus double-digit weather, I layer like a Renaissance oil painting —two pairs of tights, two pairs of socks, long underwear, black legwarmers over my jeans, one turtleneck and one wool sweater. My eyes and feet are [...]

May you live in interesting times… This ambiguously Chinese curse implies that interesting (i.e. historically significant) times are usually not peaceful ones. They are times of change and therefore, times of uncertainty, insecurity, and sometimes violence. Shakespeare’s brooding Prince of Denmark, Hamlet, would have agreed completely, lamenting “that the time is out of joint.” For [...]

The way we use energy and, equally important, the natural resources from which that energy is drawn, needs to change drastically in the coming years if we are going to avoid a massive economic and ecological catastrophe. Our ugly addiction to fossil fu…

Full disclosure: I have spent many happy hours in Brandon Anschultz‘s studio, located near Lafayette Square in St. Louis, MO, drinking wine, laughing hysterically at his sharp wit, and admiring his brilliant paintings and sculptures, which line the walls and fill every available corner and surface. Thus, this is a space which is near and [...]

By Daniel Forrest Hoffman The beauty of a city, a building, or a home has often been explored through natural signs of age. The “lived in” quality of a place is usually what allows it to speak about itself and its history. Erin Murray’s solo exhibition “Architecture Parlante” at Slingluff Gallery (through Feb 27) explores the [...]
