  • The Kids Are Always Right Helen Molesworth on the Reinstallation of Moma’S Permanent Collection
    TABLE OF CONTENTS PRINT JANUARY 2020 THE KIDS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT HELEN MOLESWORTH ON THE REINSTALLATION OF MOMA’S PERMANENT COLLECTION View of “Hardware/Software,” 2019–, Museum of Modern Art, New York. Foreground, from left: Joan Semmel, Night Light, 1978; Maren Hassinger, Leaning, 1980; Senga Nengudi, R.S.V.P. I, 1977/2003. Background: Cady Noland, Tanya as Bandit, 1989. Photo: John Wronn. THE VIBE started to trickle out via Instagram. For a few days, my feed was inundated with pictures of all the cool new shit on view at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. You could smell victory in the air: The artists were happy. Then the New York Times weighed in and touched the wide shoulders of the new, bigger-is-better MoMA with their magic wand. Could it be? Had MoMA, the perennial whipping boy of art historians, radical artists, and cranky art critics, gotten it right? And by right, at this moment, we mean that the collection has been installed with an eye toward inclusivity—of medium, of gender, of nationality, of ethnicity—and that modernism is no longer portrayed as a single, triumphant narrative, but rather as a network of contemporaneous and uneven developments. Right means that the curatorial efforts to dig deep into MoMA’s astounding holdings looked past the iconic and familiar (read: largely white and male). Right means that the culture wars, somehow, paid off. Right means that MoMA has finally absorbed the critiques of the past three decades—from the critical tear-down of former chief curator of painting and sculpture Kirk Varnedoe’s 1990 show “High and Low: Modern Art and Popular Culture” to the revisionist aspirations of former chief curator of drawings Connie Butler’s “Modern Women” project (2005–).

  • Francesco Vezzoli: a True Hollywood Story’ We May Well Ask Who Exactly Is Francesco Vezzoli
    In the shadow of style: The invention of Francesco Vezzoli Gregory Burke Given the exhibition title ‘Francesco Vezzoli: A True Hollywood Story’ we may well ask who exactly is Francesco Vezzoli. Despite its explicit assertion to the contrary this very title immediately disrupts expectations of veracity in terms of a survey of the life and work of a contemporary artist. Rather, the appropriation of the E! True Hollywood Story moniker promises a no holes barred expose replete with revealed secrets and salacious reenactments. In short the title sets Vezzoli up as the potential victim of gossip, with its dependence on innuendo, misinformation and scandal. It raises the question as to who is telling the story with the presumption, given the contemporary art context and the artist’s oeuvre, that Vezzoli himself is at least complicit with its fabrication. While Vezzoli has included his artistic persona as a subject in much of his work, ‘Francesco Vezzoli: A True Hollywood Story’ suggests an autobiographic treatment to bring his persona centre stage. Nevertheless it also begs the question as to what Hollywood has to do with the contemporary Italian artist and what if anything can we expect to be true in the story that is to be told. The nucleus of the exhibition and the work that inspired the exhibition’s title, is the film installation ‘Marlene Redux: A True Hollywood Story!’, 2006. Vezzoli himself is the subject of the film through the tracking of his art career. Establishing his birthplace in Italy the film narrates his sojourn in London as a young art student at St Martins School of Art in the early 1990s, positioning his work in embroidery and needlepoint as a reaction to the largesse of the new wave of young British artists who were then invigorating the contemporary art scene in London.

  • Jenny Holzer, Attempting to Evoke Thought in Society
    Simple Truths By Elena, Raphaelle, Tamara and Zofia Introduction • A world without art would not only be dull, ideas and thoughts wouldn’t travel through society or provoke certain reactions on current events and public or private opinions. The intersection of arts and political activism are two fields defined by a shared focus of creating engagement that shifts boundaries, changes relationships and creates new paradigms. Many different artists denounce political issues in their artworks and aim to make large audiences more conscious of different political aspects. One particular artist that focuses on political art is Jenny Holzer, attempting to evoke thought in society. • Jenny Holzer is an American artist who focuses on differing perspectives on difficult political topics. Her work is primarily text-based, using mediums such as paper, billboards, and lights to display it in public spaces. • In order to make her art as accessible to the public, she intertwines aesthetic art with text to portray her political opinions from various points of view. The text strongly reinforces her message, while also leaving enough room for the work to be open to interpretation. Truisms, (1977– 79), among her best-known public works, is a series inspired by Holzer’s experience at Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program. These form a series of statements, each one representing one individual’s ideology behind a political issue. When presented all together, the public is able to see multiple perspectives on multiple issues. Holzer’s goal in this was to create a less polarized and more tolerant view of our differing viewpoints, normally something that separates us and confines us to one way of thinking.

  • The Art of Duplicitous Ingemination
    Originally published in ALLAN McCOLLUM Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, Holland; 1989 Allan McCollum: The Art of Duplicitous Ingemination LYNNE COOKE ‘THE QUESTION OF NUANCE (within unity) is linked to the model, while difference (within uniformity) is linked with mass-production. Nuances are infinite, they are an inflexion, renewed continually by invention within a free syntax. Differences are finite in number and result from the systematic bending of a paradigm. We must not make a mistake here: if nuance seems rare and the marginal difference unquantifiable, because it benefits from being diffused widely, structurally it is still only the nuance which is inexhaustible. (In this way the model is linked to the work of art). The serial difference returns into a finite combination, into a system which changes continually according to fashion but which, for each synchronic moment in which it is considered, is limited and narrowly restricted by the dictates of production. When all is said Allan McCollum. Over Ten Thousand and done, a limited range of objects is offered to the vast Individual Works (detail). 1987-88. majority through the series, while a tiny minority is Enamel on cast Hydrocal, 2” diameter each, lengths variable. presented with an infinite variation of models.

  • RICHARD PRINCE ALL AMERICAN IDOL to Be Offered in the POST-WAR & CONTEMPORARY ART - EVENING AUCTION Christie’S London, 8 King Street 14 October 2011
    For Immediate Release 26 September 2011 Contact: Cristiano De Lorenzo tel. +44 7500 815 344 [email protected] RICHARD PRINCE ALL AMERICAN IDOL To Be Offered In The POST-WAR & CONTEMPORARY ART - EVENING AUCTION Christie’s London, 8 King Street 14 October 2011 London - Four outstanding works by Richard Prince (B. 1949) will be offered at Christie's London on 14 October, forming highlights of the Post-War & Contemporary Art evening auction. Spanning the course of the artist’s rich career they include Untitled (Fashion) (1983-1984), Untitled (Cowboy) (1999), Nurse Forrester’s Secret (2002-2003) and Untitled (de Kooning) (2007). Dina Amin, Head of the Sale; Director of Post War and Contemporary Art, Christie's London: ‚In October we are delighted to unite two masterpieces from the course of Richard Prince’s rich career including the iconic photograph, Untitled (Cowboy) (1999) and the painterly Nurse Forrester’s Secret (2002-2003.) Richard Prince is a master of Appropriation art. One of the first of a group of artists emerging in the 1970s including Cindy Sherman and Louise Lawler, who came to be known as the ‘pictures generation’, he has transformed some of the most enduring and iconic popular images in America. Fundamentally challenging notions of authorship, ownership and aura, he has radically reinvented the work of art, creating his own unique signature.‛ A key highlight of the Prince section is the large scale, dramatically executed Untitled (Cowboy), presenting a denim-clad lonesome American ranger (illustrated above right.) Created in 1999, this is a magnificent example of Richard Prince’s most celebrated series, exploring the American idol ‘par excellence’: the cowboy.

  • Interview: Francesco Vezzoli
    Financial Times: 'Antidotes to Absurdity', by Rachel Spence, August 28th 2015 Interview: Francesco Vezzoli The Italian artist and film-maker on his ‘obsession’ with truth and the connection between sexuality, art and capitalism Generally, videos are a cross that art-lovers have to bear. Most are too long and pretentious, made by practitioners who would never have survived were they obliged to use a less generous medium such as paint or marble. So it was with a heavy heart that I pushed open the curtain that shielded Francesco Vezzoli’s film at the 2005 Venice Biennale. Six minutes later, I was reeling. For “Trailer for a Remake of Gore Vidal’s ‘Caligula’ ” was a hilarious riff on Bob Guccione’s 1979 movie Caligula. Disavowed by Vidal, the original screenwriter, Caligula had been panned by critics as a piece of hard-porn kitsch masquerading as a feature film. Vezzoli had made a trailer for a movie that didn’t exist inspired by one that was never what it pretended to be. Furthermore, he had scooped up Hollywood stars, including Helen Mirren — who had also appeared in Guccione’s film — Milla Jovovich and Benicio del Toro. Vidal himself intoned the introduction. Courtney Love popped up in a cameo as Caligula. Not only was it far more engaging than most artists’ films, the logistics were baffling. How did Vezzoli persuade his all-star cast to participate? Mirren is a busy woman. Vidal was no pushover. “Sincerity and flowers!” Vezzoli replies when I ask him, 10 years later, how he had convinced such legends to work with him.
