The resulting works are like History” Dutch still lifes reimagined in a UPS store. As the show’s Carol Bove title suggests, Böhm’s exacting vision is deployed as a Michel François critique of the art object: its reification and reduction into so Josh Kline and Anicka Yi many packages that are distributed via a myriad of avenues Jackie Gendel both old and new, including shippers, art handlers, dealers, galleries, museums, fairs, websites—in short, all the Walt Cassidy accoutrements of the ever-expanding art-world machine. “Solace” Adrian Paci As a grouping, Böhm’s photographs read as vanitas Meredith James paintings for the post-boom age, invoking Barthes’s critique Lynette Yiadom-Boakye of a world become object. In this sense, the work shares its “Nachleben” critical edge with Merlin Carpenter’s currency paintings (and “Who’s Afraid of even with Warhol’s dollars, for that matter), echoing neo- Ornament?” Marxist grumblings on the persistence of the (pristine) art Tom McGrath object. It’s somewhat of an irony, then, that Böhm’s works Miriam Böhm, Inventory VI, 2010, color Eirik Johnson are themselves so alluring. There is a strong painterly quality that emerges in perusal that renders each piece photograph, 27 1/2 x 20 3/5”. From the series Scott Teplin “Inventory,” 2010. Risham Syed unctuous and enigmatic. In a strange way, this is also the Dirk Braeckman and Bill work at its most affecting, as the photographic is haunted by Henson the history of painting. This is evident in the mannered arrangements and trompe l’oeil, with their Thomas Struth echoes of Flegel and van Beijeren, as well as German still lifes, and also through her play with Tamar Halpern perspective in the lure of those impossible spaces “behind.” Böhm’s is a poetic dissonance that stops short of pastiche, and it is here that the studied banality becomes tremulous, resonating with some of Liz Magic Laser the fundamentals of representation: the fallibility of perception, the rapture of the surface. It proves to “A Relative Expanse” be potent magic for such tidy little parcels. “Resurrectine” Alisha Kerlin — Franklin Melendez “Solid-State” Tucker Nichols PERMALINK TALKBACK (0 COMMENTS) E-MAIL PRINT Carolee Schneemann Nashashibi/Skaer David Goldblatt Los Angeles Libby Black Jack Pierson MARX & ZAVATTERO Stanya Kahn 77 Geary St., Second Floor Rachel Whiteread March 20–April 24 Dennis Oppenheim Economic crises have, thankfully, given artists a reason to Moris restyle the lens through which we view luxury brands. Even Macha Suzuki Takashi Murakami favored Zen over Louis Vuitton in recent Chris Martin work. Libby Black carved out a career during recent years Cayetano Ferrer tracking consumer aspiration by re-creating (or inventing) Michael Dopp designer-label objects—Chanel surfboards, an entire Kate Robin Rhode Spade boutique––from paper, hot glue, and acrylic paint, as “Las Vegas Studio: well as imperfectly redrawing well-selected fashion Images from the Archives magazine ads. Her niche might be called psychologically of Robert Venturi and charged DIY consumer satire, and her work reflects real Denise Scott Brown” desires and disappointments. It’s heartening to report that Alice Neel Black’s latest exhibition of sculpture, painting, and drawing http://artforum.com/picks/section=us&mode=past Page 1 of 21 artforum.com / critics' picks 7/13/10 5:08 PM Alice Neel Black’s latest exhibition of sculpture, painting, and drawing “Support Group” aptly limns a moment in which global consumers trendily Ginger Wolfe-Suarez downscale back to the land. Goyard Recyclable, 2009, for Andrew Lord example, is a modestly scaled gouache-on-paper depiction of a pricey handbag filled with organic veggies, while two San Francisco other works—one drawing, one sculpture––depict little Miriam Böhm garden shovels with monogrammed handles. It’s amazing Libby Black how the thought of soil cuts the glare of conspicuous “Group Show” consumption—as do reduced price points (see Vans Ewan Gibbs Shoebox, 2010). Libby Black, Me And Bobby McGee, 2010, Lucas Michael This time around, Black also reveals more personal sides of pencil on paper, 33 x 25". Rune Olsen consumer motivation. Forbidden Fruit Basket, 2010, is a Atlanta sculptural still life of zippered Hermès coin purses—Claes Oldenburg meets Carmen Miranda—but when seen in context with a series of gouaches of lesbian pulp novel covers (one titled Libby), desire “Substitute Teacher” is pinpointed, and superbly evoked, particularly in the pencil drawing Me and Bobby McGee, 2010, a Austin nude self-portrait of the artist as a bead-wearing Janis Joplin. That celebrity was an icon, and here she seems appropriated the way the Gap used a khaki-ed Steve McQueen in past advertisements. Black’s Katy Horan ownership of Joplin points to an investment more valuable than endorsement fees. “Desire” Ben Ruggiero — Glen Helfand Boston PERMALINK TALKBACK (0 COMMENTS) E-MAIL PRINT Gina Dawson Chicago “Production Site: The Artist’s Studio Inside-Out” “Group Show” Jessica Labatte JACK HANLEY GALLERY Daniel Albrigo and 395/389 Valencia Street Genesis Breyer P-Orridge April 3–April 28 Cincinnati For the past two decades, dealer Jack Hanley has perhaps been the Bay Area’s unofficial goodwill art emissary. He has “Starburst: Color Photography in America: not only brought important contemporary artists to San 1970–1980” Francisco—back in the early 1990s he introduced Jack Pierson, Karen Kilimnik, Zoe Leonard, and others––but he Healdsburg has also done much to activate and to popularize, “Endgame” particularly at art fairs, a funky brand of Conceptualism emerging from the studios near his Mission District gallery. Houston The fact that Hanley is shuttering his West Coast operations The Yes Men to focus on his Watts Street space in New York is cause for “An Exhibition of reflection. Fittingly, the final exhibition in the San Francisco Proposals for a Socialist gallery focuses on recent works by nine artists who currently Colony” live and work in the neighborhood, or got their start in Emilie Halpern and Eric Hanley’s northern-California outpost. Zimmerman The group show is a modest but aesthetically cohesive Miami expression of Hanley’s adventuresome inclinations and JJ PEET hippie-utopian roots, which add a hearty rock-’n’-roll spirit and penchant for easily obtainable materials. Highlights New Orleans include pleasing geometric abstractions on found wood by Quintron and Miss Alicia McCarthy; a robotic tree sculpture by Kal Spelletich; an earthy, rust-hued Tauba Auerbach painting; and a Chris Johanson, Focus Your Energy Away Pussycat from There to Here Where It Is Better, 2010, collage depicting stalactites by Leslie Shows. Other Shawne Major acrylic and house paint on found wood, 32 x standouts include digital prints by Shaun O’Dell and the 21”. Portland palimpsest of a magazine-appropriated home interior by Ditch Projects Carter. Toshiko Okanoue Chris Johanson, though, sums up the show’s spirit best in one half of a diptych that includes a circular Natascha Snellman cutout, within which he has scrawled the title: Focus Your Energy Away from There to Here Where It Is David Shaner Better, 2010. Possibly made for the show, the piece, which also includes a second panel with an Providence exploding burst of color, makes a fitting sendoff to a city witnessing the departure of a dealer with similarly youthful verve.

This exhibition Marcel van Eeden comprises eighteen works, commissioned for SF MoMA on Vancouver the occasion of its seventy-fifth anniversary, and are titled as a group San Francisco, 2009. They show tourist views— B. Wurtz think snapshots from Flickr instead of postcard-perfect shots Mexico City of Coit Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge—that subvert image conventions through their conceptual strategies. Pedro Reyes Gibbs constructs his works through the repeated inscription Joachim Koester of a single mark. This method translates into thousands of “The Traveling Show” tiny slashes or circles, notations borrowed from knitting London patterns, which in turn form pale, monochromatic views of the streets of San Francisco. The British artist’s visual Ben Rivers tropes echo Photorealist strategies; the results look Markus Selg something like pint-size versions of early Chuck Close Nick Hornby works crossed with Robert Bechtle’s paintings of impassive “Unto This Last” Bay Area abodes. Paris Gibbs’s quietly demanding output reveals itself slowly—most Ewan Gibbs, San Francisco (detail), 2009, Pierre Malphettes emphatically in his wan rendering of the Transamerica graphite on paper, 11 11/16 x 8 1/4".

These projects paved the way for future photographers of the ordinary and everyday such as Martin Parr, Thomas Struth, and Nan Goldin. Shore is one of the most important artists working today, and his prints are included in collections of eminent museums and galleries around the world.On July 3, 1973, Stephen Shore set out on the road again. This road trip marked an important point in his career, as he was coming to the tail end of American Surfaces and embarking on a body of work that is known as Uncommon Places. While traveling, in addition to taking photographs, Shore also distributed a set of postcards that he had made and printed himself. While passing through Amarillo, Texas, Shore selected ten of his own photographs of places of note, such as Dougs Barb-B- Que and the Potter County Court House, and designed the back of the cards to look like a typical generic postcard.

Starting in the early 1960s, Joel Meyerowitz went out on the streets, day in, and day out, powered by his passion and devotion to photography, in order to study people and see how photographs described what they were doing. In order to catch the vibes he ranges over the streets of New York, together with Tony Ray-Jones and later with his friend Garry Winogrand. Different from Tony Ray-Jones and Garry Winogrand, Meyerowitz loaded his camera with color film in order to capture life realistically, which meant shooting in color for him. While his first photographs are often determined in a situational way, he starts, early on, putting the subject not only in the centre, but consciously leaving the centre of the picture space free and extending the picture-immanent parts over the whole frame. His dealing with picture space and composition, which consciously differ from those of his idols like Robert Frank and Cartier-Besson, create a unique style.

  • Shore, King & Street Fashion
    Alec Soth's Archived Blog August 9, 2007 Shore, King & Street Fashion Filed under: vernacular & Flickr — alecsothblog @ 10:30 am I appreciate the flurry of Flickr commentary. I’ve learned a lot. But I’m worried that Stephen Shore has been unfairly criticized. If your read the full context of his comments, he is simply making a case for raw documentation: There has to be on the web a treasure trove of brilliant untutored pictures. I’d seen the photographs that were made at the time of the London Underground bombing by people with cell phones in the Underground cars. And they have an energy to them, and an immediacy, that was pretty extraordinary. They weren’t structurally fine pictures, but, you know, this is a new world. This is people in a subway car that has just been bombed – they flip out their phones and start taking pictures. This is pretty amazing. So I thought, okay, I’m going to find a lot of great stuff and I went onto Flickr and it was just thousands of pieces of shit. I couldn’t believe it. It is just all conventional. It’s all clichés. It is one visual convention after another. Just this week a friend of mine sent me some pictures he’s been collecting on eBay. And they were fabulous. It is just stuff for sale. The difference is that on eBay the people are not trying to make art. They are just trying to show something. ‘This is what this bottle looked like. It is not silhouetted.

  • Mark Godfrey on Melvin Edwards and Frank Bowling in Dallas
    May 1, 2015 Reciprocal Gestures: Mark Godfrey on Melvin Edwards and Frank Bowling in Dallas https://artforum.com/inprint/issue=201505&id=51557 Mark Godfrey, May 2015 View of “Frank Bowling: Map Paintings,” 2015, Dallas Museum of Art. From left: Texas Louise, 1971; Marcia H Travels, 1970. “THIS EXHIBITION is devoted to commitment,” wrote curator Robert Doty in the catalogue for the Whitney Museum of American Art’s 1971 survey “Contemporary Black Artists in America.” He continued, “It is devoted to concepts of self: self-awareness, self-understanding and self-pride— emerging attitudes which, defined by the idea ‘Black is beautiful,’ have profound implications in the struggle for the redress of social grievances.” In fact, the Whitney’s own commitment to presenting the work of African American artists might not have been as readily secured without the prompting of an activist organization, the Black Emergency Cultural Coalition. The BECC had been founded in 1969 to protest the exclusion of painters and sculptors from the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s documentary exhibition “Harlem on My Mind,” and that same year, several of its members had requested a meeting with the Whitney’s top brass, commencing a dialogue that was to go on for months. The back-and-forth was at times frustrating for the BECC’s representatives—artist Cliff Joseph, for example, was to recall that the Whitney leadership resisted the coalition’s request that a black curator organize the group exhibition. But unlike many art institutions at that time, the museum did recognize the strength of work by contemporary African American artists—and did bring that work to the public, not only in Doty’s survey but also, beginning in 1969, in a series of groundbreaking and prescient monographic shows.

  • Gavin Selerie – Jumping the Limits
    Jumping the Limits: the interaction of art forms at Black Mountain & beyond, including UK practice - Gavin Selerie I Fielding Dawson says Black Mountain “had no sides (literally). It was wide open in the mountain.”1 This is a useful reminder that physical space can influence or determine thought. It was significant that the kinds of exploration associated with the college occurred far from recognized centres of learning. You could call it the permission of outlaws, and Ed Dorn, a son of the Prairie, perhaps brings this to fruition with the cinematic-linguistic slides of Gunslinger. On the other hand, no space is definitive, and a key aspect of the Black Mountain community was its willingness to bring people in to work on projects for a limited period. The corollary of this is that skills or modes of inquiry were susceptible of translation to other spheres. Geographically, the dispersal, both before and after the closure of the college, was significant, allowing Bauhaus and related approaches to be taken up in other parts of North America, and finally circulated back to Europe. New York City had a particular cluster of Black Mountain-affiliated artists and San Francisco also, but the small community or individually focused endeavour could happen anywhere. Charles Olson returned to Gloucester but kept ideas afloat through correspondence, appearances in Berkeley, Vancouver and London, and via his two-year teaching stint at Buffalo. What links figures as disparate as the weaver Anni Albers, the writer Robert Creeley and the designer Buckminster Fuller? Olson, in an unsent letter of 1952, describes Black Mountain as an “assembly point of acts”.2 The key elements are a possibility for intersection and the physical shaping of ideas.
