I’m tired of people whipping out their phone to share photos, no matter how hard I try to ooh and ahh at every image. It’s not often that I get to see my friend Lynn. She’s independently wealthy and travels a lot. I’m not, so I work a lot. The last time we met one thing was clear: Lynn’s latest adventure is her phone. Write of Way Write “Why are you taking pictures of that?” I asked. “To share with my daughter.” “It’s a salad. Surely she’s seen one before.” “To show how pretty it is.” And, like that, she begins to scroll through a million salad photos. Okay, that’s a teeny exaggeration. But there were many. So many, in fact, my first thought was, there’s silly, and then there’s ridiculous. But never mind. Obviously my fatigue is beside the point. Or maybe it is the point. Because it prompts the other side of my brain to kick in, the questioning side. My favorite dance teacher once said that most people are followers. “But an artist’s job is to question everything.” Honestly, that was all, positively all, she had to say. I’ve questioned copy-cat behavior ever since. It used to drive my mother crazy. “Can’t you just go along with it like everyone else?” she’d say, often. About so many things. “No. Mom. I. Cannot.” I still believe the best reason to come together for dinner is to ignore the rest of the world, not to include them, and I said as much to Lynn.“Lynn, I want to share stories about what we’re doing and what we want to do next, not listen to pings.” Oh, I miss uninterrupted conversations! We are designed for fewer interruptions, I think. Plus, I’ve learned to trust myself when she just knows when something is wrong, when, no matter how much money it makes for some, it’s just not better for everyone, especially people with addictive tendencies. You figure this out pretty quickly when your friend who’s fought long and hard to give up alcohol (and pot ... and pills) is snapping photos of everything around you instead of talking to you. Finally, she put her phone on the table face up. I reached over and put it face down. “You seem different,” she said. “As much a stickler as ever, but more relaxed.” My mind raced, flicking through what she just said for some little prize to make my point. I wish I could say this isn’t stickler behavior, but it is. “Well,” I said, “this always-on/never-off thing is too much interference for my stress level, so I leave my phone in my purse. Are all the photos really necessary?” “Well, they don’t make me happy, but they don’t make me any less happy.” I thought this was such a real thing to say, that it spoke of such personal honesty. “Well, there you go,” I said. “Now that your phone isn’t having more fun than we are, I get to hear you say the kinds of things I love you for.” “Oh my God,” she said. “You’re right! I’m brilliant.” Then, then, laughter and intimacy began to catch up to us. Marylou Sanelli Sanelli works as a writer and speaker. Her latest book is A Woman Writing.

Photomontage, Art Institute of Chicago, through prior gift of Adeline Yates. © Martha Rosler. Courtesy of the artist and Mitchell-Innes & Nash, New By the late 1960s, the United States was in pitched conflict both in Vietnam, against a foreign power, and at home—between Americans for and against the war, for and against the status quo. Artists Respond: American Art and the Vietnam War, 1965–1975 presents art created amid this turmoil, spanning the period from President Lyndon B. Johnson’s fateful https://www.e-flux.com/announcements/244630/artists-respond-american-art-and-the-vietnam-war-1965-1975/ decision to deploy U.S. ground troops to South Vietnam in 1965 to the fall of Saigon ten years later. The first national museum exhibition to examine the contemporary impact of the Vietnam War on American art, Artists Respond brings together nearly 100 works by 58 of the most visionary and provocative artists of the period. Galvanized by the moral urgency of the Vietnam War, these artists reimagined the goals and uses of art, affecting developments in multiple movements and media: painting, sculpture, printmaking, performance, installation, documentary art, and conceptualism.

  • Yayoi Kusama Yellow Pumpkin 1994
    Yayoi Kusama Yellow Pumpkin 1994 Location: Naoshima Island, Seto Inland Sea, Japan Scale: 2m high, 2.5m circumference. Material: fibreglass Patron: Benesse Corporation, Naoshima Contemporary Art Museum Scope of work: NATURE, c) plants in 3D; beyond the Western tradition 1. Art historical terms and concepts: Pop Art: (defined on the Tate website as:) Emerging in the mid 1950s in Britain and late 1950s in America, pop art reached its peak in the 1960s. It began as a revolt against the dominant approaches to art and culture and traditional views on what art should be. Young artists felt that what they were taught at art school and what they saw in museums did not have anything to do with their lives or the things they saw around them every day. Instead they turned to sources such as Hollywood movies, advertising, product packaging, pop music and comic books for their imagery. In 1957 pop artist Richard Hamilton listed the ‘characteristics of pop art’ in a letter as: Popular (designed for a mass audience), Transient (short-term solution), Expendable (easily forgotten), Low cost, Mass produced, Young (aimed at youth), Witty, Sexy, Gimmicky, Glamorous, Big business Minimalism: (Tate) Minimalism is an extreme form of abstract art developed in the USA in the 1960s and typified by artworks composed of simple geometric shapes based on the square and the rectangle. Minimalism or minimalist art can be seen as extending the abstract idea that art should have its own reality and not be an imitation of some other thing. We usually think of art as representing an aspect of the real world (a landscape, a person, or even a tin of soup!); or reflecting an experience such as an emotion or feeling.

  • PRESS RELEASE Art Into Life!
    Contact: Anne Niermann / Sonja Hempel Press and Public Relations Heinrich-Böll-Platz 50667 Cologne Tel + 49 221 221 23491 [email protected] [email protected] PRESS RELEASE Art into Life! Collector Wolfgang Hahn and the 60s June 24 – September 24, 2017 Press conference: Thursday, June 22, 11 a.m., preview starts at 10 a.m. Opening: Friday, June 23, 7 p.m. In the 1960s, the Rhineland was already an important center for a revolutionary occurrence in art: a new generation of artists with international networks rebelled against traditional art. They used everyday life as their source of inspiration and everyday objects as their material. They went out into their urban surroundings, challenging the limits of the art disciplines and collaborating with musicians, writers, filmmakers, and dancers. In touch with the latest trends of this exciting period, the Cologne painting restorer Wolfgang Hahn (1924–1987) began acquiring this new art and created a multifaceted collection of works of Nouveau Réalisme, Fluxus, Happening, Pop Art, and Conceptual Art. Wolfgang Hahn was head of the conservation department at the Wallraf Richartz Museum and the Museum Ludwig. This perspective influenced his view of contemporary art. He realized that the new art from around 1960 was quintessentially processual and performative, and from the very beginning he visited the events of new music, Fluxus events, and Happenings. He initiated works such as Daniel Spoerri’s Hahns Abendmahl (Hahn’s Supper) of 1964, implemented Lawrence Weiner’s concept A SQUARE REMOVAL FROM A RUG IN USE of 1969 in his living room, and not only purchased concepts and scores from artists, but also video works and 16mm films.

The syllabus, detailed description of the paper, and readings are also posted to Desire2Learn. *Every class is recorded Course Description This course will address the relationships between gender and the visual arts, with an emphasis on art and culture since World War II. This class explores the role of the visual in constructing ideas of “woman” and how women artists have addressed these constructions in their works and in their lives. Students will critically examine the ways Western culture has defined art and artists in gendered terms and will extend this study to contemporary art practice with attention to intersectionality and difference. Through weekly readings, class discussions, written assignments, and oral presentations, students will consider how gender is relevant to the creation and study of art and culture. Important to this course are the relationships between art and critical/literary theory, including feminism (obviously), Marxism, psychoanalysis, post-modernism, and theories of race and gender, all of which radically altered the perception as well as practice of art over the past century and a half.

INDIANAPOLIS, September 5, 2019—Yayoi Kusama’s famed Infinity Mirror Room, All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins (2016), is coming to the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields October 4, 2019 through March 29, 2020. Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama rose to international fame in the 1960s for her provocative and avant-garde style, and is best known today for her mirrored-light installations that envelop viewers in a repetitive environment intended to share the inner-workings of her mind while challenging the notion of space and time. “Kusama has been a major figure in avant-garde art for over fifty years, and Newfields is delighted to bring one of her iconic Infinity Mirror Rooms to Indianapolis for the first time,” said Dr. Michael Vetter, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at Newfields. “This is a rare opportunity to see one of these works locally, and will give our guests a chance to experience Kusama’s pioneering immersive art.” On loan from the Dallas Museum of Art, this installation, All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins, consists of illuminated pumpkins covered in Kusama’s signature polka dot pattern.

  • Minimalism & Beyond
    MINIMALISM & BEYOND MINIMALISM & BEYOND MNUCHIN GALLERY ACKNOWLEDGMENTS CONTENTS Mnuchin Gallery is proud to present Minimalism & Beyond. The gallery has a long history of A MINIMAL LEGACY exhibiting some of the finest examples of Minimalist art, including the world’s first-ever exhibition of Donald Judd stacks in 2013, and the group exhibition Carl Andre in His Time PAC POBRIC in 2015. For over 25 years, we have been privileged to live alongside works by many of the artists in this show, including Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman, and Frank Stella, in addition 7 to Judd and Andre. Over this time, we have noted the powerful impact these works have had on the generations of artists who followed, and the profound resonances between these landmark works from the 1960s and some of the best examples of the art of today. Now, in this exhibition, we are delighted to bring together these historic works alongside painting and sculpture spanning the following five decades, many by artists being shown WORKS at the gallery for the first time. This exhibition would not have been possible without the collaborative efforts of the 21 Mnuchin team, especially Michael McGinnis. We are grateful to the generous private collections that have entrusted us with their works and allowed us to share them with the public. We thank our catalogue author, Pac Pobric, for his engaging and insightful essay. We commend McCall Associates for their catalogue design. And we thank our Exhibitions EXHIBITION CHECKLIST Director, Liana Gorman, for her thoughtful and thorough contributions. 79 ROBERT MNUCHIN SUKANYA RAJARATNAM MICHAEL MCGINNIS 7 A MINIMAL LEGACY PAC POBRIC In the photograph, Donald Judd looks appreciative, but vaguely apprehensive.

  • Gagosian and Deitch Team up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’S Still a Bunch of White Guys
    Art World (https://news.artnet.com/art-world) Gagosian and Deitch Team Up to Explore Pop and Minimalism— and Surprise, Surprise, It’s Still a Bunch of White Guys "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building is a disappointment. Sarah Cascone (https://news.artnet.com/about/sarah-cascone-25), December 6, 2018 "Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop" at the Moore Building (2018), installation view. Photo ©artists and estates, by Emily Hodes, courtesy of Gagosian. It has become an annual tradition for super-dealers Larry Gagosian and Jeffrey Deitch to join forces during Art Basel Miami Beach, hosting an exhibition in the Design District’s Moore Building. This year, the duo’s effort is “Pop Minimalism Minimalist Pop (https://gagosian.com/news/2018/11/15/pop-minimalism-exhibition-deitch-moore-building-miami/),” a reexamination of those two powerful American art currents that could have been timely, given that re-explorations of forgotten sides of the 1960s and ’70s have become a museum and market (https://news.artnet.com/market/abmb-market-report-rediscoveries-1173188) phenomenon of late. Yet it became almost immediately apparent upon walking into the Moore Building that this year’s show was not some kind of radical rethinking of history. It is just the contrary, as evidenced by the fact that this show is dominated by the expected club of canonical men, almost all of them white: Damien Hirst (http://www.artnet.com/artists/damien-hirst/), Donald Judd (http://www.artnet.com/artists/donald-judd/), Jeff Koons (http://www.artnet.com/artists/jeff-koons/), Roy Lichtenstein (http://www.artnet.com/artists/roy-lichtenstein/), Andy Warhol (http://www.artnet.com/artists/andy-warhol/), and Richard Prince (http://www.artnet.com/artists/richard-prince/), to name just a few.

  • Yayoi Kusama: Open the Shape Called Love
    Yayoi Kusama: Open the Shape Called Love Ackland Art Museum, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill January 31, 2020 – July 26, 2020 These exhibition texts and reference images are made available for private, non-commercial use while the Ackland is closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. All images are ©YAYOI KUSAMA, INC. Introduction Yayoi Kusama (Japanese, born 1929) is one of the world’s most beloved artists, known especially for her recent room-scaled environments and expansive Infinity Mirror Rooms. However, Kusama has been working for some eight decades, a career that has included works on paper, massive abstract paintings, soft sculpture, environments and installations, provocative performances and actions, mixed-media works, outdoor sculpture, literary writing, and more. This exhibition offers the opportunity to engage with some less prominent aspects of her multi-faceted practice. On view are over twenty works, ranging from 1950s watercolors to paintings with her signature “dot” and “net” motifs, from 1960s sculptures to a tabletop infinity box. The small scale of all these works allows us to test the visual power of her aesthetic choices in formats that contrast with the artist’s tendency towards all- encompassing, immersive settings. Compositional and thematic echoes and interrelationships encourage us to sense the underlying consistency and unity of her oeuvre. Kusama herself has written and spoken extensively about the ways in which her work is “obsessive;” that it is a way to manage, express, and transcend her deep-rooted anxieties. The artist sees herself as a “prisoner surrounded by the curtain of depersonalization,” a terrifying psychological condition she movingly describes as losing all sense of time, body, personality, and existence.
