    of formalist distance upon which modernists had relied for understanding the world. Critics increasingly pointed to a correspondence between the formal properties of 1960s art and the nature of the radically changing world that sur- rounded them. In fact formalism, the commitment to prior- itizing formal qualities of a work of art over its content, was being transformed in these years into a means of discovering content. Leo Steinberg described Rauschenberg’s work as “flat- bed painting,” one of the lasting critical metaphors invented 1 in response to the art of the immediate post-World War II Discovering the Contemporary period.5 The collisions across the surface of Rosenquist’s painting and the collection of materials on Rauschenberg’s surfaces were being viewed as models for a new form of realism, one that captured the relationships between people and things in the world outside the studio. The lesson that formal analysis could lead back into, rather than away from, content, often with very specific social significance, would be central to the creation and reception of late-twentieth- century art. 1.2 Roy Lichtenstein, Golf Ball, 1962.

  • Modernism 1 Modernism
    Modernism 1 Modernism Modernism, in its broadest definition, is modern thought, character, or practice. More specifically, the term describes the modernist movement, its set of cultural tendencies and array of associated cultural movements, originally arising from wide-scale and far-reaching changes to Western society in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Modernism was a revolt against the conservative values of realism.[2] [3] [4] Arguably the most paradigmatic motive of modernism is the rejection of tradition and its reprise, incorporation, rewriting, recapitulation, revision and parody in new forms.[5] [6] [7] Modernism rejected the lingering certainty of Enlightenment thinking and also rejected the existence of a compassionate, all-powerful Creator God.[8] [9] In general, the term modernism encompasses the activities and output of those who felt the "traditional" forms of art, architecture, literature, religious faith, social organization and daily life were becoming outdated in the new economic, social, and political conditions of an Hans Hofmann, "The Gate", 1959–1960, emerging fully industrialized world.

    JANINE ANTONI ANNA HALPRIN STEPHEN PETRONIO Ally EDITED BY ADRIAN HEATHFIELD PUBLISHED BY THE FABRIC WORKSHOP AND MUSEUM & HIRMER PUBLISHERS JANINE ANTONI INGESTING THE WISDOM BODY Carol Becker Such concerns and their manifestations in form bring to mind D. W. Winnicott’s seminal text Playing and Reality. Winnicott observes that children often adopt a “transitional object” — a creative solution to the originary anxiety of dependence and separation.4 In the earliest stages of development, children often create their own transitional object. It is not usually an articulated “toy” as representational as a velveteen rabbit, for example, but rather a unique condition that infants find around them and imagine into being — comforting textures such as a fuzzy bit of flannel blanket kneaded into a ball, a cord of rubber binding along the edge of a pillow, a frayed spot on the crib’s sheet. The found object is something that appeals to the child sensorially and that he or she experiences as an extension of the self, even before the child is aware of the self. As the object gains familiarity, it acquires the magical property of assuaging anxiety. Thus the child is able to sleep and play without worry, having found a creative solution to a challenging, developmental need to experience safety when apart from the mother (or the primary caregiver) and even when completely alone. Artists often are chasing after something that sometimes is also chasing after them. At As a result, the object garners the child’s total devotion. To misplace, lose, or in any way alter those moments when “the creation stands between the observer and the artist’s creativity,” it before the child is ready to permit such a transition — even by washing it and changing its it might be best, as D.

Galerie Lelong and P·P·O·W have a history of collaboration and have co-represented Carolee Schneemann since 2017. This will be the first time the two artists are shown together in direct dialogue, an exhibition Schneemann proposed during the last year of her life. In works such as Mendieta’s Volcán (1979) and Schneemann’s Study for Up To and Including Her Limits (1973), both artists harnessed physical action to root themselves into the earth, establishing their ties to the earth and asserting bodily agency in the face of societal restraints and repression. Both artists identified as painters prior to activating their bodies as material; Mendieta received a MA in painting from the University of Iowa in 1972, and Schneemann received an MFA from the University of Illinois in 1961.

HOUSTON, TX (April 4, 2018)—The Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH) is #CaryLeibowitzCAMH pleased to present Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show, the first comprehensive career survey #atCAMH and solo museum exhibition of Leibowitz’s work. The exhibition features nearly 350 original @camhouston artworks from 1987 to the present, including paintings, fabric works, multiples, installations, documentation, photography, and ephemera. Cary Leibowitz: Museum Show has an opening reception on the evening of May 11 and will remain on view through August 26, 2018. New York–based artist Cary Leibowitz (b. 1963) creates bold, brightly colored, and comically self-effacing text-based works which draw on both a gay and Jewish perspective in order to address issues of identity, kitsch, modernist critique, and queer politics. Included in the exhibition are paintings that read, “Here I am please don’t be mean” and “I just got a pair of Gucci for Bergdorfs loafers for 50% off and I really do feel better.” A white porcelain fish- shaped dish reads, “Fucked up homo bar-mitzvah gay boy worries too much about what 1 5216 Montrose Boulevard Houston, Texas 77006 CAMH.ORG | #atCAMH Press Release his mother will wear.” Additionally,
