Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America,” an Intergenerational Exhibition of Works from Thirty-Seven Artists, Conceived by Curator Okwui Enwezor
NEW MUSEUM PRESENTS “GRIEF AND GRIEVANCE: ART AND MOURNING IN AMERICA,” AN INTERGENERATIONAL EXHIBITION OF WORKS FROM THIRTY-SEVEN ARTISTS, CONCEIVED BY CURATOR OKWUI ENWEZOR Exhibition Brings Together Works that Address Black Grief as a National Emergency in the Face of a Politically Orchestrated White Grievance New York, NY...The New Museum is proud to present “Grief and Grievance: Art and Mourning in America,” an exhibition originally conceived by Okwui Enwezor (1963-2019) for the New Museum, and presented with curatorial support from advisors Naomi Beckwith, Massimiliano Gioni, Glenn Ligon, and Mark Nash. On view from February 17 to June 6, 2021, “Grief and Grievance” is an intergenerational exhibition bringing together thirty-seven artists working in a variety of mediums who have addressed the concept of mourning, commemoration, and loss as a direct response to the national emergency of racist violence experienced by Black communities across America. The exhibition further considers the intertwined phenomena of Black grief and a politically orchestrated white grievance, as each structures and defines contemporary American social and political life. Included in “Grief and Grievance” are works encompassing video, painting, sculpture, installation, photography, sound, and performance made in the last decade, along with several key historical works and a series of new commissions created in response to the concept of the exhibition. The artists on view will include: Terry Adkins, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Kevin Beasley, Dawoud Bey, Mark -
In Conversation with Adam Pendleton: What Is Black Dada?
In conversation with Adam Pendleton: What is Black Dada? Awa Konaté James Baldwin once said, ‘we used to think of history as the realm of the settled as an inalterable past, as a nightmare. That was the legacy bequeathed us by the past century’s catastrophes. But while we can never redeem what has been lost, versions of the past are forever being reconstructed in our fabrication of the present.’1 Although Baldwin enumerated these words in 1972, today’s volatile political moments and relations reminds us that the past is repeatedly embedded, and evermore so, in our present sphere. Baldwin comments on the interrelations between past and present realities as a continuum of cultural and historical notions that constitute the very materiality of our social fabric as ever persistent, suggesting the past is never past but an ongoing rupture in the present. Adam Pendleton is an artist whose unwinnable and complex layered practice is exceptionally occupied with Baldwin’s declarative statement. With a career spanning nearly two decades, Pendleton has situated the intersections of race, belonging, cultural politics and art history as varying constructions that are rearticulated and imposed in the very centre of our ‘Contemporary’ – not merely in order to inquire ‘how’ and ‘what if’ but to push the very logic that constitutes their historical and social functions. My first encounter with Adam Pendleton was his large ‘Black Lives’ banner at the Venice Biennale’s Belgian pavilion in 2015.2 The context was stupendous, the banner’s dominating and large scaled presence appeared to almost ‘devour’ the white cubed pavilion by forcing the centrality of its race relations. -

Kino, Carol. “Rebel Form Gains Favor. Fights Ensue.,” the New York Times, March 10, 2010
Kino, Carol. “Rebel Form Gains Favor. Fights Ensue.,” The New York Times, March 10, 2010. By CAROL KINO Published: March 10, 2010 ONE snowy night last month, as New Yorkers rushed home in advance of a coming blizzard, more than a hundred artists, scholars and curators crowded into the boardroom of the Museum of Modern Art to talk about performance art and how it can be preserved and exhibited. The event — the eighth in a series of private Performance Workshops that the museum has mounted in the last two years — would have been even more packed if it weren’t for the weather, said Klaus Biesenbach, one of its hosts and the newly appointed director of the P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center. After seeing the R.S.V.P. list, he had “freaked out,” he said, and worried all day about overflow crowds. As it was, he and his co-host, Jenny Schlenzka, the assistant curator of performance art at the museum, were surrounded at the conference table by a Who’s Who of performance-art history, including Marina Abramovic, the 1970s performance goddess from Belgrade whose retrospective, “The Artist Is Present,” opens Sunday atMoMA; the much younger Tino Sehgal, whose latest show of “constructed situations,” as he terms them, just closed at the Guggenheim Museum; Joan Jonas, a conceptual and video art pioneer of the late 1960s who usually creates installations that mix performance with video, drawing and objects; and Alison Knowles, a founding member of the Fluxus movement who is known for infinitely repeatable events involving communal meals and foodstuffs. -
Performance and Interaction: Judson Dance Theater
Performance and Interaction: Judson Dance Theater In 1980, Arlene Croce, a respected dance critic, said in a column in the New Yorker that Robert Wilson had been the main influence, after Merce Cunningham, on the choreography of the day. Yvonne Rainer responded angrily to what she saw as lack of perspective and knowledge of modern dance in a letter published in the performance magazine Live. The letter included a genealogy chart of contemporary dance and how it related to the visual arts world, which is shown here. Simone Forti was at the Judson Dance Theater with Brown and Rainer and also made an argument for dance as sculpture with her first minimalist works. Their objec- tives included the idea of actually involving the spectator’s gaze, rejecting the concept of audience as voyeur. Bibliography Krauss, Rosalind E. Passages in Modern Sculpture.

ART 1306 3D Design Section: 002 Meeting Times
ART 1306 3D Design Section: 002 Meeting Times: By Appointment Semester: Spring 2017 Instructor: Sara Rastegarpouyani Office: Office Hours: Email Address: [email protected] 3D Design Module 1: Body The purpose of this assignment is to introduce students to innovative artistic strategies using the body as a medium. Historically, the figure was often depicted as a means to convey a humanistic vision of the world that included, beauty, sex, and emotion, as well as the vehicle for narrative storytelling (i.e., the Bible, epic literature etc.) In the contemporary era the body remains a potent image but can be understood in new ways through its absence. As opposed to its literal depiction, the body may be implied by gesture or suggestion, but not necessarily included physically. It may also be the artist’s medium itself, employed for performance or video based art. In this project, students may use, either literally or figuratively, the body, either in part or whole, as the means to communicate an idea. The body may be cast, sculpted additively or subtractively, imprinted, appropriated, or otherwise made present as the primary (but not necessarily only) component of the artwork. The relationship to the body should be autobiographical in some way, but this can be interpreted liberally. References: Michelangelo Rodin Kiki Smith Louise Bourgeois Bill Viola Guillermo Gomez Pena James Luna Robert Gober Ana Mendietta Vanessa Beecroft 3D Design Module 1: Relief The purpose of this assignment is to introduce students to the techniques of bas relief or high relief carving. Relief carving, a traditional artistic process, will be updated in this project to include any additive or subtractive process used to build a tactile raised surface viewed in a two dimensional format. -

Abstract Drawing 20 February – 19 April 2014 Curated by Richard Deacon
Drawing Room, 12 Rich Estate, Crimscott Street, London SE1 5TE Abstract Drawing 20 February – 19 April 2014 Curated by Richard Deacon Artists include: Tomma Abts, Roger Ackling, Anni Albers, David Austen, David Batchelor, Victor Ciato, Garth Evans, Monir Shahroudy Farmanfarmaian, John Golding, Lothar Götz, Frederick Hammersley, Victoria Haven, Susan Hefuna, Eva Hesse, Dom Sylvester Houédard, Anish Kapoor, Hilma af Klint, John Latham, Bob Law, Sol LeWitt, Gordon Matta-Clark, Kazimir Malevich, Emma McNally, Sam Messenger, Nasreen Mohamedi, Jackson Pollock, Dorothea Rockburne, Mira Schendel, Richard Serra, Kishio Suga, Darrell Viner, Alison Wilding, Richard Wright. Artist Richard Deacon has selected a broad range of works by over 30 artists spanning the last 105 years on the idea of ‘abstraction’ in drawing. Deacon says: ‘This exhibition has no ambitions to be a universal survey, but in selecting a show around the idea of abstract drawing, these various strands – inscriptive, calligraphic, ornamental, generative, individuating and identifying – have all featured.’ Richard Deacon CBE is one of the most important British sculptors of his generation and has exhibited internationally since the early 1980s. He won the Turner prize in 1987, and a major retrospective exhibition of his work is presented at Tate Britain in 2014 (5 February – 27 April). The activity of drawing is crucial to his work as a sculptor, which engages with processes and means of manufacture. This deep interest in making as an activity is evident in his selection of works for Abstract Drawing. The earliest works exhibited here are drawings made in 1906 by Swedish artist Hilma af Klint, recently heralded as producing the earliest forms of Western abstraction, and in 1917/18 by Kazimir Malevich, regarded as the father of abstraction. -

Text: Sergey Guskov Translation: Basil Ballhatchet Posted on: January 26, 2021 EKATERINA DEGOT, PHOTO © MATHIAS VOELZKE / ART REVIEW A successful 2020 To a certain extent 2020 was the year when Russian curators started to be noted. According to the magazine ArtReview, Ekaterina Degot is th https://artcatch.art/articles/russian-curators-abroad/ Pagina 1 van 24 Art Catch · Russian Curators Abroad 09-03-2021 18:56 ranked 54th in the annual rating of the 100 most inLuential people in art. Technically she was recognised for the most recent Steirischer Herbst festival which was adapted for a TV channel (September-October 2020), but in actual fact this was recognition for her overall achievements. This is the Trst time that a Russian curator has appeared on this list. Previously Russia was only represented through the patroness and founder of Garage Daria Zhukova: the Trst time in 2008 together with her husband back then oligarch Roman Abramovich, and subsequently in 2011- 2016 on her own. In addition, Katerina Chuchalina was one of the curators of the travelling European biennale Manifesta, which was held on this occasion in Marseille (August-November 2020). It was a miracle that the event held for the 13th time actually went ahead: it opened two and half months earlier than had been planned, albeit subject to health and hygiene restrictions. Judging by press feedback, however, the Manifesta was a success. The list of Russian curators in demand in the west is quite short. -

As part of the first wave of museums to celebrate moving image work, CMOA played a central role in legitimizing film as an art form, leading a movement that would eventually result in the integration of moving image artworks in museum collections worldwide. The department's active roster of programmingÐfeaturing historical screenings, director's retrospectives, and monthly appearances by experimental filmmakers from around the worldÐwas a leading factor in Pittsburgh's emergence in the 1970s as ªone of the most vibrant and exciting places in America for exploring cinema.º (Robert A. Haller, Crossroads: Avant-garde Film in Pittsburgh in the 1970s, 2005). The museum also served as a galvanizing force in the burgeoning field by increasing visibility and promoting the professionalization of moving image art through its publication of Film and Video Makers Travel Sheet (a monthly newsletter distributed to 2,000 subscribers worldwide) and the Film and Video Makers Directory (a listing of those involved in film and video production and exhibition) and by paying substantial honoraria to visiting filmmakers. -
