Read on.
A brutal reality for the art tourist—for any tourist—is that Google Maps does not work very well here. It offers neither driving nor walking directions, and for public transport, it will present only limited options. What is the non-Korean speaker to do? <a href="https://map.kakao.com/">Kakao Maps</a> and <a href="https://map.naver.com/p/">Naver Maps</a> are the local, robust alternatives, but they take a little practice and have some quirks. That is true of Naver, especially, for which some rudimentary knowledge of Hangul, the Korean alphabet, is useful. (Type "leeum" in English into it, and you may get directed to a wedding planner, a textile seller, or another business somewhere in Seoul, rather than <a href="https://www.leeumhoam.org/">the august museum</a> started by the Samsung family in the Hannam neighborhood.)</div><div><br /></div><div>I recommend Kakao for a first-time visitor, but Google Maps is still helpful for getting one's bearings, and its listings have improved in recent years. Above is a map aimed at helping to smooth the process of locating art venues and perhaps planning itineraries in the country. (Just do not try to use it to get directions.) It is far from complete, especially beyond Seoul, but it aims to be a solid primer to key outfits—big and small, mainstream and off the wall, proudly blue chip and pugnaciously nonprofit.
Only places that I have visited are listed, and I strive to keep locations up to date, but please consult officials websites to make certain that you do not show up at an empty storefront. (If that happens, there will invariably be a good restaurant nearby, at least.)</div><div><br /></div><div>If I can assist with anything, <a href="mailto:andrew.russeth@gmail.com">please drop me a line</a>.</div>Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-15175124346981836412021-12-30T09:57:00.023-05:002022-01-02T03:54:30.449-05:00Top 10 of 2021 in South Korea<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-header.jpg" /><small>Sangdon Kim's "Monkey Forest," presented at 2021 Gwangju Biennale, on view in a <a href="http://www.saga.ooo/">Saga</a>–organized show in December at Log in Seoul, where the coffee is served by a skilled robot.</small><br /><br /><div>This is a year-end post about where I spent almost the entire year—South Korea—but I just got back from the United States, and I have to say that there were an astonishing number of great exhibitions on view in every city I visited, from the <b>Joan Mitchell</b> blowout at the <b>San Francisco Museum of Modern Art</b> to the <b>Barbara Kruger</b> takeover of the <b>Art Institute of Chicago</b> to <b>Wolfgang Tillmans</b>’s characteristically pitch-perfect exhibition at <b>Regan Projects</b> in Los Angeles. New York was looking particularly strong (perhaps the result of artists finally bringing out their big guns now that the pandemic seemed to be subsiding). The highest highs there included <b>Arthur Jafa</b>’s <i>AGHDRA</i> tour de force, <b>Nolan Simon</b> at <b>47 Canal</b> (he keeps getting better, and weirder), <b>Jennifer Packer</b> at the <b>Whitney Museum</b>, <b>Robert Gober</b> at <b>Matthew Marks</b>, <b>Wade Guyton</b> at <b>Reena Spaulings</b>, and the <b>O'Flaherty’s</b> enterprise.</div><div><br /></div><div>In Korea, galleries and museums have largely remained open throughout the pandemic—a blessing for gallery goers—and 2021 saw huge developments on the ground, like the donation of much of Samsung chief <b>Lee Kun-Hee</b>’s collection to the nation, the return of the fabled, treasure-filled <b>Leeum</b> museum after being closed during the pandemic, and the christening of the new <b>Herzog & de Meuron</b>–designed <b>SongEun Art Space</b>. Before my top 10 of 2021, a few additional favorites: <b>Junghae Park</b>’s slippery, ultra-alluring paintings at <b>Whistle</b>, <b>Jinu Nam</b>’s squid fantasia at <b>Outsight</b>, <b>Hernan Bas</b> at <b>Space K</b>, <b>Robert Barry</b> at <b>Gallery Shilla</b>’s Seoul branch and <b>KIAF</b> booth (which <a href="https://www.artnews.com/list/art-news/artists/2021-kiaf-seoul-best-booths-1234607071/">he closed</a>), <b>Michael Dean</b> at <b>Barakat</b>,<b> Hyungkoo Lee</b> at <b>P21</b>, <b>Minjung Kim</b> at <b>Gallery Hyundai</b>, <b>Lee Keun-bae</b>’s inkstone collection at the <b>Gana Art Center</b>, "Planitia" at <b>L.A.D.</b>, <b>Chang Ucchin</b> also at <b>Hyundai</b>, and <b>“Transposition”</b> at <b>Art Sonje Center</b>.</div><div><br /></div><div>And now, the top 10—and then 2022.</div> <img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-rondi-park.jpg" /><br /><small>A hanging fabric work by Rondi Park.</small><br /><br /><b>
10. “Rondi Park: And I Need You More Than I Want You” at White Noise, Seoul</b><br />In her thrilling solo effort, Rondi Park managed the rare feat of conjuring a cohesive, satisfying aesthetic world—scrappy, inventive, and joyous—across a wide variety of materials. A fiendish demon-like creature, fashioned from fabric, hung from the ceiling, and tiny constructions, showing people, stars, and a dragonfly, dotted the space. The offhand wit of <b>Ree Morton</b>, and the radiant fabric constructions of <b>Tina Girouard</b> came to mind. The showstopper was a long, energetically colored painting of a fast-galloping horse being guided by a lone rider—Park, perhaps?<br /> <img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-haneyl-choi.jpg" /><br /><small>Haneyl Choi, <i>The Sculptor</i>, 2021.</small><br /><br /><b>
9. “The Middle Land: When Time Unfolds into Land” at the ARKO Art Center, Seoul</b><br />It can be a pleasure to watch a curator pursue a bizarre curatorial idea—when they execute it well. One example: this unusual smorgasbord of a group show, which its organizer, <b>Zoe Chun</b>, described as a “cross-genre play consisting of five acts,” inspired by, of all things, the work of the legendary fantasy novelist <b>J.R.R. Tolkien</b>. Along narrow corridors, on staircases, and in dimly lit galleries, she positioned irreverent sculptures by <b>Haneyl Choi</b>, a deep-cut <b>Kara Walker</b> film, a transfixing <b>Paul Chan</b> balloon, and more. It was all high drama and mystery—shadowy, in a word—as bewildering as it was satisfying.

8. “Haegue Yang: Mesmerizing Mesh” at Kukje Gallery, Seoul</b><br />Following a <a href="http://www.16miles.com/2020/12/top-10-2020.html">barnburner of a survey</a> at the nearby Seoul branch of the <b>National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art</b> that closed in February, Haegue Yang staged this intimate display of new paper works, which are informed by Korean shamanistic rituals incorporating that material. It was billed as something less than a full show—just a presentation in one room for a few weeks—but no matter: these intricate works stun, tenderly. Composed of precisely sliced pieces of paper in a limited number of shades, each seems to present a topsy-turvy world populated by ever-evolving abstracted figures.<br /> <img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-moon-and-jeon.jpg" /><br />
<small>Installation view of "MMCA Hyundai Motor Series 2021: Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho – News from Nowhere, Freedom Village" at the MMCA, Seoul.</small><br /> <br /><div><b>7. “Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho: News From Nowhere, Freedom Village” at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), Seoul</b></div><div>Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho conceived this multifarious project before the pandemic, but it nevertheless feels like a key work for grappling with the present era. A quietly sumptuous two-channel video follows two people living in isolation—one in futuristic, hermetically sealed environs, the other in a remote landscape. (Let's not give too much away.) Joined by doctored photos of the DMZ and an expansive painting of a dense forest, the show (running into February) is a master class in using deep research to tell a captivating story about important, universal things like communication, borders, and survival.</div><br /><div><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-dmz-platform.jpg" /><br /><small>Hyungwoo Lee, <i>Untitled: Borderless, 2021</i>, at UniMARU.</small><br /><br /><b>6. DMZ Art & Peace Platform at UniMARU, Paju, and Other Venues</b><br />Beyond a military checkpoint near the Demilitarized Zone, the architect <b>Hyunjun Mihn</b> has transformed a disused building into an airy, light-filled exhibition space, <b>UniMARU</b>, which art historian <b>Yeon Shim Chung</b> inaugurated for part of her nuanced group show about propaganda, transit, surveillance, and the DMZ itself. <b>Jae-Eun Choi</b> showed ceramics with the names of endangering plants that grow in the area, and a winsome 2001 <b>Nam June Paik </b>sculpture consisted of an elephant attached to a cart piled with televisions and phonographs, apparently ready to embark on a long journey that fences, guard towers, and weapons forestall, for now.<div>
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-gwangju-biennale.jpg" /><br /><small></small><br /><b>5. The 13th Gwangju Biennale</b><br />It is painful to think about how few people got to see this year’s many-layered Gwangju Biennale, “Minds Rising Spirits Tuning,” which was long-delayed and then opened when South Korea had a 14-day travel quarantine (now 10). Organized by <b>Defne Ayas</b> and <b>Natasha Ginwala</b>, it intertwined alternative histories and modes of political resistance, via remarkable contributions from <b>Cecilia Vicuña</b>, <b>Sylbee Kim</b>, <b>Sangdon Kim</b>, <b>Korakrit Arunanondchai</b>, <b>Vaginal Davis</b>, and more. A big-hearted, ambitious show that was also graceful, it delivered diverse visions of life, death, resurrection, and love. (Here’s <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/26/arts/design/gwangju-biennale-south-korea.html">the <i>New York Times</i> story</a> I wrote about the show.)<br /> <img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-seulgi-lee.jpg" /><br /><small>Partial view of Seulgi Lee’s <i>Slow Water</i>, 2021, at Incheon Art Platform.</small><br /><br /><b>
4. “Seulgi Lee: Slow Water” at Incheon Art Platform</b>
<br />I will admit that I almost never revisit shows, even when I love them (there are places to be), but I road the subway from Seoul to Incheon three times to see Seulgi Lee’s exhibition because the more I read about it and thought about it, the more intriguing it became. Using ultra-minimal means—a huge circle of traditional lattice suspended from the ceiling, textiles printed with grids, a brief song—Lee conjured a time-bending vision of the surrounding city, of its history and its people. It was bewitching. (<a href="https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202201/seulgi-lee-87513">A review I wrote</a> of it is in the January 2022 issue of <i>Artforum</i>.)

3. Sung Chankyung at Um Museum, Hwaseong</b><br />A renowned poet, Sung Chankyung (1930–2013) also made wry, humble sculptures from castoff, recycled materials, as this concise overview demonstrated. In Sung’s remarkable hands, a nut and bolt could become a tree, part of a sewing machine a bust, and a few pipe pieces an uproarious cartoon head with its tongue blasting out. An exhibition of Sung’s work is on deck at one of the Seoul Museum of Art’s locations in 2022, which will provide another welcome opportunity to delight in his charming work. (Here’s <a href="https://www.artforum.com/print/reviews/202109/sung-chankyung-86990 ">a review I wrote</a> for <i>Artforum</i> about the show.)<br /> <img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-choi-wookkyung.jpg" /><br /><small>Choi Wookkyung, <i>Beginning Is Concluding</i>, 1968, at the MMCA in Gwacheon.</small><br /><br /><b>
2. “Choi Wookkyung: Alice's Cat” at MMCA, Gwacheon
</b><br />Once described, quite condescendingly, as “a young lady of small stature who produces the largest paintings in Korea,” Choi Wookkyung (1940–85) made painted blazing abstractions that are variously sharp and geometric, frenetic and expressionistic, and otherworldly and lyrical. (Sometimes she snuck in text, too: <small>“CARELESS BITCH”</small> in one memorable work on paper.) This judiciously curated retrospective was a superb guide to her freewheeling, and too-short, career. A surprise came at the end, with a room of enigmatic, outrageous, and charismatic self-portraits that Choi made but did not intend to exhibit. They depict an artist with boatloads of energy and talent to burn.<br /> <img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/2021-lee-bul.jpg" /><br /><small>Lee Bul, <i>Hydra (Monument)</i>, 1996/2021, at the Seoul Museum of Art's main branch.</small><br /><br /><b>
1. “Lee Bul: Beginning” at the Seoul Museum of Art
</b><br />In an ideal world, a building would be found to permanently display documentation of Lee Bul’s searing performances from the late 1980s and early ‘90s, where it could serve as a kind of gold standard against which to measure all other live artworks. Lee was utterly fearless in these years, walking city streets in a grotesque costume and suspending herself naked while discussing her abortion, to name just two of her actions. Through huge video projections and a mountain of photographs, this survey of the period managed to transmit the fleeting but vital activities of an unstoppable artist.

<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-a.JPG" /><br /><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">The most butter I have ever seen adorning a baked good—at Layered in Seoul.</span><br /><br />
No writing activity gives me greater pleasure each year than assembling a top-10 list of art shows as the holidays approach. Combing through notes and cell-phone photos, I’m always bowled over by how much astonishing work is being made—and shown—every single day. However, assembling the list for 2020 has elicited more complicated feelings. Seeing art in person carries a special poignancy now, and organizing exhibitions is a precarious task. This has been a year of incredible loss.<div><br /></div><div>Art looks very different in this atmosphere—when we can see it. “Inaccessible, the works conjure in the imagination a significance that we have taken for granted,” critic <b>Peter Schjeldahl</b> <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/04/13/mortality-and-the-old-masters">wrote in April</a>. On the July day that the last coronavirus patient was discharged from a hospital in Rivoli, Italy, <b>Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev</b>, the director of the Castello di Rivoli Museo d'Arte Contemporanea, <a href="https://twitter.com/CCB_Castello/status/1285699503534813186">tweeted</a>, “After a ferocious time, there was a cool breeze and the artworks hung proudly in the museum.”</div><div><br /></div><div>On March 12, when the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced it would close in the face of rising virus cases, I was sitting a coffee shop in Brooklyn and mulled grabbing a car to catch the just-opened <b>Gerhard Richter</b> survey at the Breuer. No point, I figured. It would be back in a couple weeks. I was very wrong. It never returned, and the Met welcomed back visitors only in late August. <a href="https://artreview.com/exhilarating-and-sad-new-york-metropolitan-museum-of-art-is-back/">That was a glorious day</a>.</div><div><br /></div><div>Despite the long lockdowns, with museums and galleries prudently going dark, there were still enough exhilarating shows to make assembling a top-10 as difficult as ever. My list comes from trips to Los Angeles and Philadelphia before the world changed, gallery strolls in New York when those were possible, and a few trips around South Korea, to which my wife and I moved in October.</div><div>
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-b.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">The head of a roasted pig at La Kaje in Brooklyn on Leap Day, as part of G. William Webb's "Leaping" event.</span><br /><br />I saw no real, in-person exhibitions between March 6 and July 8, but I did make it to the refurbished LaGuardia Airport in Queens to see <b>Laura Owens</b>’s <a href="https://www.risd.edu/news/stories/new-laura-owens-mosaic-for-nyc-airport/">majestic love letter</a> of a mosaic to New York City. Even if you are not flying anywhere anytime soon, walk over and have a look.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here is a too-brief string of other great shows not on the top-10: <b>Paul McMahon</b> at 321 Gallery, <b>Jana Euler</b> at Artists Space, <b>Ja'Tovia Gary</b> at Paula Cooper, <b>Michael Buthe</b> at Alexander and Bonin, <b>Jasper Marsalis</b> at Kristina Kite Gallery, <b>Thomas Kovachevich</b> at Callicoon, <b>Abigail DeVille</b> in Madison Square Park, <b>Christopher Wilmarth</b> at Craig F. Starr, <b>Parker Ito</b> at Château Shatto, “New Images of Man” (curated by <b>Alison M. Gingeras</b>) at Blum & Poe, <b>Michael Krebber</b> at Gaga & Reena Spaulings, <b>Jacob Fabricius</b>’s <a href="https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/busan-biennale-jacob-fabricius-interview-1234576369/">Busan Biennial</a>, <b>Sofu Teshigahara</b> at Nonaka-Hill, <b>Kathe Burkhart</b> at Fredericks & Freiser. Before the pandemic set in, on Leap Day, one particularly memorable evening was a bacchanal/one-night art festival at <a href="https://lakaje.hotglue.me/">La Kaje</a> in Brooklyn, organized by <b>G. William Webb</b>, with performances by <b>Miles Huston</b>, <b>Guy Henry</b>, and more and more. The centerpiece was a roasted pig. It feels like a very long time ago. </div><div><br /></div><div>And now, a list.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-10.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Félix Vallotton, <i>Felix Fénéon at La Revue blanche</i>, 1896, at the Museum of Modern Art.</span><br /><br /></div><div><b>10. “Félix Fénéon: The Anarchist and the Avant-Garde—From Signac to Matisse and Beyond” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York </b></div><div>There should be more exhibitions about art critics, says I. Of course, Félix Fénéon (1861–1944) was no ordinary art critic. He was a force of nature. His unsigned <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Novels-Review-Classics-Feneon-2007-08-21/dp/B01K2KNO00">“Nouvelles en trois lignes”</a> alone secure his place in history. Most are mordant, and some are dad jokes (charming in their own way). As this treasure-filled show by <b>Starr Figura</b>, <b>Isabelle Cahn</b>, and <b>Philippe Peltier</b> made abundantly clear, he also had a gimlet eye for talent, boosting key figures like Seurat and Signac. It had me reading every wall label, to learn the owner of certain works and plot how to see them again. <b>Félix Vallotton</b>’s portrait of a studious Fénéon bent over his desk is, regrettably, in a private collection.</div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-9.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Park Rehyun, <i>Glory</i>, 1966–67, at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul.</span><br /><br /></div><div><b>9. “Park Rehyun: Triple Interpreter” at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul</b> </div><div>A mind-blowing exhibition. Park began her career making elegant ink-wash paintings of people and street scenes. She ended it making some of the 20th century’s most beguiling abstractions—networks of colors that suggest polychromed spider webs or luminous tapestries. She died in 1976, only 56 years old, of cancer. Curator <b>Park Kim Ye-jin</b>’s show was not only a fireworks-filled retrospective but also a moving portrait of an artist finding her way while being overshadowed by her artist-husband, <b>Kim Kichang</b>. Park’s in the canon now, but her art still needs to reach a far wider audience.</div><div><br /><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-8.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Works by Faith Ringgold in "With Pleasure" at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.</span><br /><br /></div><div><div><b>8. “With Pleasure: Pattern and Decoration in American Art 1972–1985” at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles</b></div><div>Yes! This is what it (art history, curatorial work, the museum) is all about: taking a too-little-seen art moment and diving in deep.<b> Anna Katz</b> marshaled work by <b>Joyce Kozloff</b>, <b>Faith Ringgold</b>, <b>Robert Kushner</b>, <b>Emma Amos</b>, <b>Billy Al Bengston</b>, <b>Sylvia Sleigh</b>, and a boatload more, making the case that Pattern & Decoration has been wrongly sidelined in many narratives of the 1970s. This is art born of—and imbued with—cosmopolitanism and feminism and activism. It’s perfect for right now. It’s been perfect for a long time. Some very good news: the show lands at the Hessel Museum of Art in upstate New York next year.</div><div><br /><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-7.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Suzanne Jackson, <i>Light, light into being (</i>2019) at Ortuzar Projects.</span><br /><br /></div><div><b>7. “Suzanne Jackson: News!” at Ortuzar Projects, New York</b></div><div>Ortuzar has been delivering one revelation after another for a couple years snow, and Suzanne Jackson’s solo outing was my favorite of its 2020 offerings. (Admittedly, it opened in 2019, but please let me count it.) Now in her mid-70s, Jackson showed astonishing wall works made with layered acrylic and harboring nets, seeds, and other disparate materials. They are utterly original paintings and also living things, full of stories, joys, and mysteries. </div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-6.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Trevor Shimizu, <i>Garden</i>, 2019, at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia.</span><br /><br /></div><div><b>6. “Trevor Shimizu: Performance Artist” at Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia</b></div><div>Even at Trevor Shimizu’s most slapdash moments with his paintbrush, his pictures never feel desolate or unfinished. He aims to please, and he succeeds.

I would bet good money that they would look pretty fresh next to a Mitchell or a Monet.

In an era when Minimalism goes down smooth, it channels the radical tone of Judd’s art: its expansive range, strange visual pleasure, and perverse meticulousness. The icing on the Judd cake was Gagosian’s staging of <a href="https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2020/donald-judd-artwork-1980/">an untitled 80-foot-long wonder</a> from 1980.</div><div><br /><img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/t102020-4.JPG" /><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: x-small;">Installation view of "Souls Grown Diaspora" at Apexart with work by Otis Houston Jr and text by Wesley Willis.</span><br /><br /></div><div><b>4. “Souls Grown Diaspora” at Apexart, New York</b></div><div>The curator and dealer <b>Sam Gordon</b> assembled this showcase of 10 key contemporary African-American artist who ought to be more widely known: <b>Alvin Baltrop</b>, <b>Raynes Birkbeck</b>, <b>Stephanie Crawford</b>, <b>Curtis Cuffie</b>, <b>Otis Houston Jr.</b>, <b>Dapper Bruce Lafitte</b>, <b>Reverend Joyce McDonald</b>, <b>Sara Penn</b>, <b>Frederick Weston</b> (<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/18/arts/frederick-weston-dead.html">RIP</a>), and <b>Wesley Willis</b>.

<small>Alice Neel's hot-fudge sauce ornamenting vanilla ice cream.</small>
<br><br>
Get ready for a world of pleasure. <b>Alice Neel</b>’s hot-fudge sauce is rich, boozy, and deeply satisfying. Its secret ingredient: a solid splash of rum, which joins together with chocolate, butter, sugar, and corn syrup. The recipe comes from <i>The Museum of Modern Art Artists' Cookbook</i>, which was published in 1977. (The full directions are in this <a href="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/A-Good-Weekend.pdf">PDF for a catalogue</a> I made a few years ago for <a href="http://www.interstateprojects.org/projects/ulo-part-i---andrew-russeth/">a project at Interstate Projects</a> in Brooklyn.)<br><br>
While warm, the sauce brings a refreshing zest to vanilla ice cream, but it’s when it’s gotten cold, having sat in the fridge overnight, that it gets really great, taking on a luxurious, almost chewy texture that is reminiscent of soft toffee or thick caramel. I found myself eating spoonfuls of it by itself. Atop ice cream in that form, it’s pure heaven—and it looks beautiful, too, like strange black snow adorning a mountain peak. I regret never taking a photograph of that pairing: it was too delicious to stop and think, apparently.<br><br>
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/neel-chocolate-2.JPG" alt="Butter and chocolate melting in a pan">
<small>Preparing the hot-fudge sauce.</small><br><br>
In the cookbook, Neel says, “I never learned to make cakes and pies because after all I’m an artist and couldn’t concentrate on that,” and she adds, “I have privileges, you see, that only men had in the past." It’s impossible not to admire that sentiment. But thank goodness she was willing to grace us with this confection.Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com36tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-62236864611369934152020-07-29T18:18:00.001-04:002020-07-30T10:39:30.652-04:00Turn the Page: 'The Unknown Dimension' at/by/of Essex Street<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/unknown-dimension-2.jpg" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">From 'The Unknown Dimension,' left: Julia Phillips, <i>Distancer (#3)</i>, 2019, glazed ceramics, metal hardware, metal pedestal, sculpture: 2.75 x 18.5 x 6.75 in., pedestal: 37.25 x 25 x 11 in., listening suggestion: Nina Simone's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwOC51hdnKE">"The Human Touch,"</a> 1969; right: Julia Phillips, <i>Soul</i> (work in progress), 2020, bisque fired ceramics, 5.75 x 16.25 x 5.5 in., listening suggestion: Alice Coltrane's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUMuDWDVd20">"Turiya & Ramakrishna,"</a> 1970.</span><br />
<br />
Whenever I hear the words “online viewing room,” I involuntarily think of <b>David Lynch</b> delivering one of his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKiIroiCvZ0">vintage diatribes</a>: “It’s such a sadness that you think you’ve seen a film on your fucking telephone. Get real!”<br />
<br />
Of course, not all of the online exhibitions necessitated by corona lockdowns have been bleak. A lot of video art—typically tricky to access—has been streamed by museums and galleries, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/22/t-magazine/video-art.html">as I wrote in <i>T</i> magazine</a>. And some artists have inventively tweaked how their art is presented online, like <b>Elizabeth Peyton</b>, who put together a <a href="https://petitcrieu.com/">bewitching slide show</a>.
Still, it’s been a relief to see more left-field approaches during this painful period of closed storefronts, like the move by New York outfit <a href="https://www.essexstreet.biz/">Essex Street</a> to instead go analog and put together a lively (and, at times, heartrending) exhibition in the form of a handsome book. Titled “The Unknown Dimension” and published in May, it’s more than 200 pages long and has contributions from over 50 invited artists (many of whom sent along never-before-seen material). “Thinking the next best thing to an object is not an online viewing room but a page,” the gallery’s proprietor, <b>Maxwell Graham</b>, writes in the volume. Hear, hear!<br />
<br />
The artists’ offerings run alphabetically by first name, which allows sumptuous, quiet paintings of empty interiors by the late <b>Adrian Morris</b>—whose <a href="https://www.essexstreet.biz/">show at Essex Street</a> was cut short by the pandemic—to kick things off.

<br />
There are a lot of very excellent artists here. <b>B. Wurtz</b> sends along photographs of the fantastical tree-like sculptures he built from colanders and displayed in City Hall Park (now <a href="https://gothamist.com/news/for-new-yorkers-who-need-food-and-shelter-abolition-parks-police-free-zone-feels-like-home">Abolition Park</a>) in Lower Manhattan two years back (<a href="http://publicartfund.org/exhibitions/view/b-wurtz-kitchen-trees/">via the Public Art Fund</a>). <b>Senga Nengudi</b> gives us an indelible self-portrait of her posing as if in prayer in her backyard in April, covered by a purple veil. <b>Zak Prekop</b> displays luscious details of his inimitable abstractions.<br />
<br />
An index at the end of the book provides the requisite credits for the works along with some illuminating information that invites closer looking and deeper research. It was mind-blowing for me to learn that the reverse side of artworks that were photographed by <b>Carolyn Lazard</b> and that contain adorable photos of children (as pictured above) belong to the Antiguan master <b>Frank Walter</b>, who lived from 1926 to 2009. (They were commissioned by the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt, which has a <a href="https://www.mmk.art/de/whats-on/frank-walter-eine-retrospektive/">Walter retrospective that runs</a> into November: one hopes we lowly Americans will be able to travel to Europe before then.) <b>Julia Phillips</b>, for her part, includes a link to <a href="http://vimeo.com/379143230">video documentation</a> for some of her art with listening suggestions paired to individual pieces. (See the captions above.)<br />
<br />
Graham has also marshaled wonders by deceased luminaries like <b>Bill Bollinger</b>, <b>Sturtevant</b>, and <b>Yutaka Matsuzawa</b>, whose 1970 text piece <i><a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=%E2%80%9CWhen+you+go+calmly+across+this+room,+go+my+own+death+across+your+mind%22&safe=off&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS888US888&sxsrf=ALeKk03jHD0eOvqyHjOYCTKJ3jg8LUL3MA:1596058758688&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7muiatvPqAhWCdN8KHS3bDt0Q_AUoAnoECAoQBA&biw=1379&bih=716#imgrc=Oci-0mmw3pcxPM">My Own Death</a></i> begins, “When you go calmly across this room, go my own death across your mind in a flash of lightning,———that is my future genuine death…”<br />
<br />

The cover of 'The Unknown Dimension.'<br />
<br />
Some new pieces refer to the ongoing health and economic crises, whether directly or obliquely. <b>John Knight</b> includes an excerpt of <b>Paul Lafargue</b>’s 1883 treatise <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/lafargue/1883/lazy/">“The Right To Be Lazy.”</a> <b>Cameron Rowland</b> reproduces the agreement that must be signed by visitors to <a href="https://www.blogger.com/"><span id="goog_41274832"></span>Hart Island<span id="goog_41274833"></span></a>, New York’s heavily restricted public cemetery, where graves are dug by incarcerated people. <b>Maria Eichhorn</b> prints two maps that document the 30 percent drop in pollution that NASA satellites documented in the extended New York metropolitan area this past March versus the average for that month between 2015 and 2019.
On a series of successive pages, <b>Louise Lawler</b> is showing a digital photogram of parts of a vinyl record of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mp8qf2YWF98">an Aretha Franklin classic</a>. Its title reads, at the moment, as mordant and dark and maybe even a tiny bit hopeful: "Runnin’ Out of Fools."<br />
<br />
As I write, Essex Street, like many New York galleries, has finally reopened to the public, with a strong <b>Park McArthur</b> show. Life is continuing on. "The Unknown Dimension" has a kind of teaser (a non-site?) for one of the works included in McArthur's bracing exhibition, which exists in the physical gallery and <a href="https://exhibition146.essexstreet.biz/">on a dedicated website</a> and "elsewhere," as the <a href="https://exhibition146.essexstreet.biz/">gallery's press release counsels</a>. Elsewhere is a place where a lot of us find ourselves these days. It's a space and a condition that may be new, discomfiting, and also—just possibly—unifying. Happily, those looking to navigate the gallery version of the show at a distance can book a tour that will take place through Skype, Zoom, or FaceTime.Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-23809533046615714552020-06-26T19:02:00.001-04:002020-06-27T08:40:08.484-04:00Cocktails, Steaks, Tacos, and Cold Beer: Ed Ruscha's 'L.A. Restaurants' [Map]<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/ruscha-resto-1.JPG" /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Philippe, the home of epic French-dipped sandwiches, on February 14, 2020.</span><br />
<br />
Screenings of the only two films that <b>Ed Ruscha</b> ever made are fairly rare. It’s been about a decade since I was introduced to the pleasures of his two bizarre shorts—<i>Premium</i> (1971) and <i>Miracle</i> (1975)—at Film Forum in New York, and I’ve been hoping to do a repeat viewing ever since. While awaiting that moment, I was recently gobsmacked to learn that Ruscha actually made a new film last year, apparently after a 44-year break. It is titled <i>L.A. Restaurants</i>, it was shot in HD video, and it is streaming through Monday, June 29, <a href="https://gagosian.com/exhibitions/2020/broadcast-alternate-meanings-in-film-and-video-chapter-two/">on Gagosian’s website</a>. You should watch it.<br />
<br />
In classic Ruscha fashion, the work’s title handily describes the proceedings: over the course of about 20 minutes, we’re treated to drive-by views of more than three dozen restos around Los Angeles, like the French-dip haven <b>Philippe</b> (which I just went to for the first time back in February) and the palatial sushi purveyor <b>Yamashiro</b>. These are classic venues—tried and true, charmingly stuck in time, and a joy to visit and revisit with friends. They are exactly what they want to be.<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/ruscha-resto-2.JPG" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A beautiful Philippe sandwich with coleslaw, pickles, chocolate cake, and a Diet Coke.</span><br />
<br />
Ruscha’s camera, handled by <b>Gregg Heine</b> in a car driven by <b>Gary Regester</b>, glides past these places, often in the middle of the day. People are typically coming and going, but in some shots the boîtes appear to be closed, or they’re just quiet. Conviviality and celebration are out of sight, maybe still a few hours off. Soon, another night of festivities is going to be added to decades of history.<br />
<br />
Watching the video during lockdown is a melancholy experience. For months, these restaurants have been shuttered or offering only takeout. Employees have been laid off, some have no doubt gotten sick and died, and it will be some time before these old haunts are thrumming again. Some may never reopen. A deadpan tribute to the city’s storied watering holes (and a study of their architecture) has become something more profound. It’s a time capsule now, and a memorial to the way we used to live.<br />
<br />
When restaurants eventually do get fully up and running again—that will be a glorious day—I can't wait to cruise the streets of L.A., trying out locations that Ruscha highlighted and returning to old standbys. (Maybe, in the spirit of the <a href="https://greg.org/archive/2012/01/05/the-complete-spot-challenge.html">Damien Hirst Spot Challenge</a>, there could even be a modest prize for people who visit every stop.) A map of the restaurants in the video follows below, with addresses beneath it in order of appearance.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">The <i>zuppa inglese</i>. (Food photography: an art I have not yet mastered.)</span><br />
<br />
There are many reasons to love <b>Dorothy Iannone</b>. Now 87, she has spent a lifetime making wildly colorful, utterly captivating artworks that are about pleasure—and that impart pleasure. Everyone is naked in <a href="http://www.airdeparis.com/artists/dorothy-iannone/">her paintings</a>, and everyone is having a great time, especially the women, who are typically in charge of the scene, reigning as benevolent deities.
<br />
<br />
Iannone has also been an unwavering crusader against censorship, famously <a href="https://frieze.com/article/whole-truth-de">filing the suit</a> in 1961 that led to the overturning of the ban on <b>Henry Miller</b>’s work in the United States.
<br />
<br />
And there is still more: she is, in addition, a tremendous chef and baker, as evidenced by a <a href="https://www.artbook.com/9783037644881.html">hand-drawn cookbook</a> she began assembling in 1968, which was published by JRP Ringier last year. She started on the project, <a href="http://www.airdeparis.com/exhibitions/2020/open-air/">she’s written</a>, because she wanted “to have my favorite recipes always with me when I cooked for my peripatetic beloved who, although he loved the experience of arriving somewhere, loved even more the going away.” (That beloved was artist <b>Dieter Roth</b>.)
<br />
<br />
During the global lockdown, Iannone’s French gallery <b>Air de Paris</b>, has been blogging up a storm on a page called <a href="http://www.airdeparis.com/exhibitions/2020/open-air/">Open Air</a>, and a few days ago it posted her recipe for the Italian delicacy known as <i>zuppa inglese</i>, a layering of custard and sponge cake. (The <i>Oxford Companion to Sugar and Sweets</i>—which I am thrilled to learn exists—has a <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Oxford_Companion_to_Food/bIIeBQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=zuppa%20inglese%20oxford&pg=PA891&printsec=frontcover&bsq=zuppa%20inglese%20oxford">great entry</a> on its possible origins. Don’t call it a trifle!)
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/zuppa.jpg" /><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">A close-up, with apricots substituted for peaches.</span><br />
<br />
I attempted to assemble the dessert this week, and while I could not get my cakes to rise quite as much as I would have liked, the result was still satisfying. Give it a try. It takes a bit of time, but requires only a few ingredients, making it ideal for right now.
<br />
<br />
Iannone’s recipe calls for four layers of cake, each doused with white rum and sandwiched around three layers of custard, flavored respectively with vanilla, more rum, and crème de cacao. The whole pile is then bedecked with a bounty of whipped cream, strawberries, and peaches. (Unable to locate the latter, I opted for apricots.)
<br />
<br />
At first glance, this is a decadent beast of a dessert, but the sponge and the whipped cream lend the whole affair an airy buoyancy. Not unlike Iannone’s art, it is a sweet committed to gratification that is joyous and light and never weighed down by any notion of guilt. It is also very, very boozy, exuding some of the heady energy of her erotic paintings. Perhaps best of all (and this is very fitting), as the <i>zuppa</i> sits in the fridge longer and longer, it just keeps getting richer and richer, more filled with intricate flavors, more intoxicating.<br />

<small>The pudding.</small><br />
<br />
In 2008, Lutz Bacher, the relentlessly inventive artist <a href="http://www.artnews.com/2019/05/16/lutz-bacher-dead-1943-2019/">who died on Tuesday</a>, presented a recipe for butterscotch pudding as the press release for <a href="https://www.ratio3.org/exhibitions/lutz-bacher-odo/pr">her show at Ratio 3</a> in San Francisco. Last night, I made it for the first time, and I cannot recommend it enough. It's extremely rich—1 cup of cream, 2 cups of milk, half a stick of butter—and quite boozy. (Two tablespoons of whisky, scotch, or brandy—I went with Hennessy cognac.) A beguiling depth and a heady kick: that's not unlike Bacher’s art.<br />
<br />
Does the recipe tell us anything about her famously varied, enigmatic practice? It’s a fairly straightforward text, but there are two intriguing flourishes.<br />
<br />
In its first step, the recipe says that, as you are melting the butter in a saucepan, “Do not let the butter sizzle and separate. If this happens, discard it and get new butter.” Start with the right base, in other words. Do not proceed until it is just right.<br />
<br />
But then, in its final step, the tone shifts slightly. After explaining how to avoid having skin form on the pudding’s surface, the text states, “I like a little skin, as it is a defining characteristic of home cooked pudding to me!”<br />
<br />
There’s a push-pull there between a taut, concise foundation and letting a little bit of chance, of imperfection, sneak in. It’s tempting to spend some time teasing that out. But then there is also this: a Google search suggests that the recipe originated in <a href="http://phatduck.blogspot.com/2006/05/">a 2006 blog post</a> by the pastry chef Dana Salls Cree.<br />
<br />
Did Bacher like the language of the recipe, the resulting pudding, both? I’ve reached out to Cree, who runs a delectable-looking business in Chicago called <a href="https://www.prettycoolicecream.com/">Pretty Cool Ice Cream</a>, for more information and will update this if I hear back.<br />
<br />
<i>Update:</i> Reached by email, Cree told me that she did not know Bacher and was not aware that her recipe had been used in the press release. "I feel incredibly honored to have been woven into her world in some small way," she said.<br />
<br />
"In the culinary world you almost always see who you are impacting directly, it is a very personal transaction," she continued. "But with writing your audience is invisible. What a delight to see where one of my recipes landed, and how it took on a new life with this artist's press release. I wonder where it went from there!"<br />
<br />
As for her source for the recipe, Cree said that she thought she based it on one by the pastry chef David Lebovitz. "Maybe I’ll make some butterscotch pudding this weekend," she signed off. Having already made a decent dent in my batch, I think I might join her.Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-39598901425059546072016-11-10T10:02:00.001-05:002016-11-10T10:02:23.199-05:00Florine Stettheimer: A Map of Public Collections Holding Her Work<iframe height="622" src="https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/embed?mid=1XwNERBMlxHFyaICN-6SKtiolPe4" width="830"></iframe>
<br />Seeing a painting by <a href="http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/eresources/exhibitions/treasures/html/73.html">Florine Stettheimer</a> is a rare pleasure, in at least two distinct senses. First, she was one of the 20th century's true originals, an avowed modernist who created humorous, sensuous, action-packed, rococo scenes of life in the United States. Her works are rich with white and pinks, depictions of friends and family, in-jokes and art-historical allusions. There is no one else like her. But second, she was not particularly prolific, and rarely parted with her paintings. When she died, in 1944, at the age of 72, she still owned most of her works, and it was left to her sister Ettie Stettheimer to decide what to do with them.<br />
<br />
Over the next 20 or so years, Ettie, and later, the family's attorney, Joseph Solomon, <a href="http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/11473/">reportedly donated</a> about 45 works to 37 institutions around the United States, and gave another 50 to Columbia University in New York. After that, they largely sat in storage. But thanks to pioneering writing by <a href="https://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/stettheimer-florine">Linda Nochlin and Barbara Bloemink</a>, and shows at the ICA Boston, the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1993/10/10/arts/art-view-the-very-rich-hours-of-florine-stettheimer.html">Katonah Museum of Art</a>, and the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/21/arts/art-review-extreme-artifice-directly-from-life-in-new-york-between-the-wars.html?pagewanted=all">Whitney Museum of Art</a>, in the 1980s and '90s, museums owning Stettheimers began to display them more regularly. (Lenbachhaus in Munich also organized <a href="http://www.artnews.com/2014/10/21/forcing-me-in-joy-to-paint-them-in-munich-a-rare-look-at-florine-stettheimer/">a remarkable show</a> in 2014, and the Jewish Museum <a href="http://thejewishmuseum.org/exhibitions/florine-stettheimer-painting-poetry">will stage another</a> next year.)<br />
<br />
Every time I visit new city, I try to see if a Stettheimer is nearby and pay it a visit while stopping by museums and galleries, but a few times I have had the painful experience of returning home and realizing that I had missed one. And so I have made a little map, embedded above, which shows where Stettheimers are located. It is not quite complete: I have worked off of checklists for various exhibitions featuring her work, but if you know of other places holding her work, please let me know. (A note: both Columbia and the Museum of Modern Art in New York own more pieces than I have added to the map, but I wanted to avoid crowding New York with dots, and it's worth noting that most of those works are rarely available to the public.)<br />
<br />
A few Stettheimers are also in private hands, mostly her elegant and amusing paintings of flowers, but also <a href="http://www.artnews.com/2015/04/23/the-new-whitney-museum-is-glorious-a-review-look-inside/"><i>New York/Liberty</i></a> (1918), which has been on loan in recent years to the Whitney and, most notoriously, <i>Asbury Park South </i>(1920), <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/27/arts/design/florine-stettheimer-painting-fisk-university-sold.html">which Fisk University sold off</a> to help shore up its finances a few years back. Here's hoping that the collectors lucky enough to own a Stettheimer consider finding a nice, loving home for it in a public institution.Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com34tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-48101212011249839702016-10-23T18:57:00.003-04:002020-10-28T02:28:07.661-04:00Index, 2006–Present<i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKPflcIEETR8Z8Z1yMqYJPFeNaBE8TaCM10aF6qtA415pSxCyD3TpO-Bh4T4Nzx4_TA3-WQb018raOsw8OvPm0Qu0mIhNdWVzwPPOKIz7NIcWOV-L9LSSJx9vsbS-C8iWQg2WLkBM-iM/s1600/4961385121_c077b95e79_o.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKPflcIEETR8Z8Z1yMqYJPFeNaBE8TaCM10aF6qtA415pSxCyD3TpO-Bh4T4Nzx4_TA3-WQb018raOsw8OvPm0Qu0mIhNdWVzwPPOKIz7NIcWOV-L9LSSJx9vsbS-C8iWQg2WLkBM-iM/s1600/4961385121_c077b95e79_o.jpg" /></a></i><br />

<br />
<small>Richard Prince, <i>Second House</i>, 2001–04 (damaged 2007).</small><br />
<br />
Richard Prince's <i>Second House</i> occupies one of the stranger chapters in recent art history. In 2005, the Guggenheim <a href="http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/press-room/releases/press-release-archive/2005/617-april-29-guggenheim-museum-to-acquire-richard-princes-qsecond-houseq">acquired, as a gift from the artist, the building</a> in rural Rensselaerville, New York, which Prince had turned into an exhibition space for a number of new car-hood paintings. The museum's plan was to make it open to the public for five months a year for at least a decade. (As part of the deal, museum trustees acquired the paintings as promised gifts to the museum.) Two years later, lightning hit the building. Fire engulfed it. But it was undergoing renovations at the time, so the paintings, thankfully, were stored elsewhere. Ever since, the burned-out building has been has been sitting there, empty. At some later point, Prince bought it back from the Guggenheim, <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/artist-richard-princes-secret-retreat-1417536346">as Kelly Crow revealed</a> while reporting on a new art Shangri-La that the artist is building nearby. In 2011, during the first edition of the NADA Hudson art fair, I stopped by and took these photos.<br />

<br />
The art world can look pretty bleak sometimes: huge group shows in which <a href="http://galleristny.com/2013/09/check-out-this-group-show-coming-up-at-gagosian-in-london-that-has-35-artists-34-of-whom-are-male/">34 of 35 artists are male</a>, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/27/arts/design/revealing-e-mails-by-gagosian-gallery-in-lichtenstein-suit.html?_r=0">"cruel and offensive"</a> offers, a breathtaking lack of diversity, and incredible amounts of money being spent on the same few artists, to name just a few issues.<br />
<br />
But every time things look especially dark from my vantage point, something comes along to mitigate those embarrassing truths and remind me that there is a lot of great stuff happening all over the place. Sometimes it's a show that bowls me over and forces me to think about or see something in a different way. Right now it's a group of artists who have gotten together to support a peer who has supported them many, many times in the past.<br />
<br />
With the help of numerous friends and colleagues, the artists Van Hanos and Jory Rabinovitz have organized <a href="http://paddle8.com/auctions/rosemarcus">a benefit exhibition</a> that runs through Monday, September 23, at <a href="http://paddle8.com/auctions/rosemarcus">Cleopatra's</a> in Greenpoint for their fellow artist Rose Marcus. (<a href="http://paddle8.com/auctions/rosemarcus">The accompanying auction of the work runs through 2 p.m. on that day</a>.) Here's <a href="http://paddle8.com/auctions/rosemarcus">what they wrote</a> about the project:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
A community of artists have come together to support their friend and colleague, <a href="http://rosemarcus.net/">Rose Marcus</a>, in her time of need after unexpected surgery. This benefit serves as homage to Rose's contributions as a young artist, organizer, academic and friend. The artists united behind the conceit that they can utilize their agency and artwork to provide shelter and preservation to other artists' practices when hardship arises.</blockquote>
If you don't know <a href="http://rosemarcus.net/">Rose</a>, she is a New York-based artist, art historian and, as they wrote, organizer. You may have seen her canny, cagy work <a href="http://rosemarcus.net/">around town</a>, or been to the art fair that she put together twice, <a href="http://www.16miles.com/2011/03/dependent-art-fair-at-four-points-by.html">the Dependent</a>, which in my book provided two of the most entertaining, fruitful, and positive days of the past few years. (It's worth noting that she designed these to be strictly break-even affairs for herself.) She's also—full disclosure—a friend, and someone who has been intensely helpful with my writing.<br />
<br />
I often argue to friends (or really anyone who will listen) that, if they follow contemporary art with some level of interest, they should also buy it. Sure, it can be expensive, but by buying a drawing or painting by a young artist even only every year or two, you're helping to keep a young artist in the game and potentially supporting a young art dealer—not an easy job—at the same time. Plus you get something interesting, and maybe even beautiful, to spend some time with. If you're not a regular art collector, this is a great time to try out that role: it's for a wonderful cause, many of the works are remarkably affordable, and—this I cannot emphasize enough—they are by an absolutely phenomenal group of artists, who all happen to know Rose. It's a benefit show, but it doubles as a superb, tight survey of what smart, ambitious emerging artists are doing right now.<br />

<br />
<div class="p1">
It's a thrilling thing when it happens. You're wandering through an American museum, probably in its modern-art wing, when suddenly you find yourself in front of a painting by the inimitable Florine Stettheimer (1871–1944)—a confection of whites, pinks, and yellows offering up a scene of a chic-looking salon or picnic, or a portrait of a luminary of the time. </div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
This happens more frequently than you might expect for an artist who generally refused to part with her paintings during her lifetime (she had a single solo show, at Knoedler). Thankfully, her sister, Ettie (1875–1955), ignored her request that her artworks be destroyed after her death, and spent the last years of her life carefully placing them in collections across the U.S., in <a href="http://www.philamuseum.org/collections/permanent/52270.html">Philadelphia</a>, <a href="http://collections.lacma.org/node/233234">Los Angeles</a>, <a href="https://collections.artsmia.org/index.php?page=detail&id=1369">Minneapolis</a>, <a href="http://metmuseum.org/Collections/search-the-collections/488732?rpp=60&pg=1&ft=stettheimer&pos=1">Manhattan</a>, <a href="http://www.uvm.edu/~fleming/index.php?category=collection&page=american">Burlington</a>, <a href="http://collections.si.edu/search/results.htm?q=record_ID:siris_ari_53028">Dayton</a>, and among other places, Detroit, where I had the pleasure of coming across one this past weekend.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The DIA's painting, from 1930, has the best title of any painting by her that I know of: <i>Love Flight of a Pink Candy Heart</i>. According to a catalogue from the museum, she actually wrote that title on the the back of the work, along with a free-flowing poem. From the stretcher:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
My romance Past NY<br />
House Party Eden, New York<br />
In Memory of a Sugar Coated Heart<br />
My House (?) on Paradise<br />
(my party)<span class="s1">←</span>Arcadia<br />
Beautiful Yong men<br />
I have known<br />
Paradise, NY<br />
House Party Eden N. York<br />
April 1930</blockquote>
<div class="p1">
And then on the back of the canvas, there is this:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
THIS ONE<span class="s1">→</span>Love Flight of a Pink Candy heart<br />
The title<span class="s1">→</span>LOVE FLIGHT OF A PINK CANDY HEART</blockquote>
<div class="p1">
Pretty awesome. (For more on just how awesome Florine and her two sisters were, <a href="http://galleristny.com/2012/02/anything-went-florine-stettheimer-at-columbia-university/">this article I wrote about them last year for <i>The Observer</i> has some stories</a>.) The title was so great, in fact, that Michael Duncan took it for a 1995 group show at Holly Solomon about the wide influence of Florine on younger artists. (<a href="http://www.miraschor.com/CV/PDFS/Pink%20Candy%20Heart%201995015.pdf">The catalogue is available thanks to Mira Schor</a>.)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
In a note that Ettie penned at the time of her donation to the DIA, she wrote that the work "represents Florine…contemplating various friends of her youth whom she has portrayed with a mingling of symbolism and realistic observation."</div>
<br />
<div class="p3">
According to the DIA, the gentleman in white lounging on the grass is probably the painter Charles Demuth, with whom Florine was friends, while the gentleman in tails is likely the photographer and writer Carl Van Vechten, a longtime associate of the Stettheimers who snapped some really <a href="http://brbl-archive.library.yale.edu/exhibitions/cvvpw//contentsa.html">amazingly strange, even creepy, photos</a> of Ettie and the third sister, Carrie, who's responsible for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stettheimer_Dollhouse">dollhouse replica</a> of their home that is on permanent view at the Museum of the City of New York. Florine's to the left on the balcony in that great pink number, and also at the lower right, dancing with an anonymous harlequin whom some scholars have identified as Duchamp, another family friend. (Florine organized his 30th birthday party).</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
There are a lot of things that I love about Stettheimer's paintings, but here are three of them. One is that the more time you spend with them, the stranger and more interesting they get. You notice odd messages and codes that she had secreted within them. She hides inscriptions and captions in plain sight, and often includes seemingly random bits of architecture that actually have deep personal significance once you know what she's referring to (thanks to the work of some intrepid scholars). They're ideal permanent-collection works, in other words, generously repaying repeat viewings.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
The second thing I love is that they seem almost preternaturally confident and brave in their idiosyncratic style. Florine was hanging out with some of the most accomplished, ambitious, radical modernists of her day and making these sensual, sweet, and thoroughly bizarre figurative paintings. And at the age of almost 60, she was at work on this sensual, thoroughly feminine look back on her life. Her work stands as a reminder that tidy, linear histories of modernism are simply false.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
The third thing is that, in her paintings, definitions of gender and sexuality, as well as narrative and formalism, become gloriously unmoored and free-floating. They embody and promote a permissiveness that I suspect I am not alone in finding deeply comforting. In short, they present attitudes and feelings that everyone should be able to encounter and experience at their local art museum.</div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Performance view of Edgardo Aragón, <i>La Encomienda</i>, June 23, 2013, outside Tiffany & Company, New York</span><span style="font-size: xx-small;">. </span><br />
<br />
On June 23, at 4 p.m., a young man walked in front of Tiffany & Co., at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue, and started singing. A performance by the young Mexican artist Edgardo Aragón had begun. The musician, hired by Aragón, was dressed discreetly, in khaki pants and a blazer a slightly lighter shade of khaki, the sort of outfit that many of the men walking out of Tiffany with robin egg blue bags were wearing.
<br />
<br />
Peering down occasionally at sheet music in a binder, he sang a composition made of mining-protest songs from Mexico. Almost no one noticed him. A very small group of art types watched from down the block, apparently alerted by announcements from Aragón's New York dealer, <a href="http://www.laurelgitlen.com/exhibitions/2013/0513_aragon/aragon-pr.pdf">Laurel Gitlen</a> (his solo show there closed that evening, and this was the second of two planned performances outside the store he organized during its run), but otherwise he was pretty much ignored. Scores of tourists strolled past him. A doorman from the nearby Trump Tower walked by, smoking a cigarette. A gentleman standing next to me—one of the few clued in to the performance—leaned on the wire stand of a vendor selling various comic-book knickknacks and souvenirs (visible at the start of the video below), and even after the vendor asked him pretty nicely to stop, that he was afraid his merchandise would get knocked off his stand, he refused to stop leaning, and they started bickering at each other. The man told the seller not to interrupt him, that he was watching the performance. After asking the man to move quite a few times, the vendor called him a "fucking faggot," and threatened to beat him up. Eventually the guy moved away from the stand. All the while the singer kept going, pretty much completely ignored except by the occasional curious look from a passerby, or someone posing for a portrait next to the store's sign.<br />
<br />

<br />
That sign seemed oddly familiar, but it took me a few days to figure out why it was stuck in my head. Looking through old photos—big thanks to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixteen-miles/map">the Flickr map tool</a>—I came across an image of Stephen Varble in almost the exact same spot in 1977 that I had come across in an old <i>Art in America</i>. Varble was so inventive, outrageous and generally out-there that if you wrote him into a novel, people would roll their eyes. You could call him a performance artist, though that would be far too constraining an identification. In the mid-1970s, he gave tours of Soho galleries dressed in various outré outfits, many composed of garbage, and gave various self-degrading performances. (One involved playing around in a swimming pool at a party while being sprayed with yellow water from a penis-shaped shower nozzle as he asked people to urinate on him. Think of him as a one-man proto-Gelitin.)<br />

<br />
<br />
After spending a few years doing performances throughout downtown Manhattan, according to Hayden Herrera, in her excellent "Manhattan Seven" piece in the July/August 1977 in <i>Art in America</i>, he moved uptown and found two wealthy patrons. (He showed up to one performance, which involved washing ink-splattered dishes in a gutter outside a gallery, in a silver Rolls Royce that he had borrowed.)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/DSC_0252.JPG" />
<br />
<br />
In 1977, he started visiting Tiffany in costume, and on the second stop there was banned from the store. "On his third sally he wore his elephant costume," Herrera says, "but barely got his elephant-foot in the door." (Her report is the best—and only account—I've been able to find of the incident, and is also the most in-depth profile of Varble that I'm aware of. It also includes some quotations from him about his practice and American life that are just absolutely epic—like, "I am as shameless as nature"—but I'll save those for another time. Herrera's piece is also the source of information for the other performances I've mentioned.)<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/DSC_0251.JPG" />
<br />
<br />
"I adore Tiffany's," Varble told Herrera. "It institutionalizes the horror I hate the most. It's really a five-and-dime." Guards reportedly met him at the door the third time he tried to visit. He continues, "They kept me in the revolving door and I just kept revolving. The elephant hoof made a noise like a sledge hammer. Finally I went and stood outside the door and did my dance." I would love to be able to see a video of that dance, but I haven't heard of one. We can get at least a hint of it from David Mayer's photo, above.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/DSC_0253-1.JPG" />
<br />
<br />
Varble, who died of AIDS in 1985, and Aragón, in numerous ways, offer intensely different, almost absolutely opposite, approaches to the famed jeweler. Varble's the outrageous, costumed extrovert, throwing himself into the belly of the beast, humorously and abjectly begging for the attention of the crowd, and the authorities. Aragón, in contrast, handed off duties to a trained professional, who was completely nondescript, in the midst of the crowd (though not part of it), ready to regal you if you paid attention, but content to do his own thing, to voice protests songs to no one but himself and the silent building, so that they ultimately become songs of mourning—memorials to failed political intentions. The tone of the performance was far removed from Varble's, but it was, in its own way, just as abject.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/DSC_0256.JPG" />
<br />
<br />
He sang forcefully, almost without hesitation, and with good posture, enunciating and projecting, letting his voice travel. But he was still apparently so easy to ignore that, as I watched, holding my camera and filming a bit of the performance from the edge of the sidewalk, a woman came up and asked me to snap her and her friends in front of the Tiffany sign, as if nothing of note was going on around them. Who could refuse? They posed in front of the sign, smiling as the man sang just a few feet away.<br />
<br />
Eventually he closed his binder and walked briskly up Fifth Avenue, disappearing into the crowd.<br />
<br />

<br />
For her recent one-person show at the new <a href="http://www.bedstuyloveaffair.us/">Bed-Stuy Love Affair</a> gallery, <a href="http://www.bedstuyloveaffair.us/">"Shuffle Puck Cafe,"</a> Sam Anderson arrayed more than 100 hunks of coal in long rows on the floor. Carefully spaced out across the room, they dominated the display at first glance—dusty or lustrous, sharp-edged or elegantly worn down, chic or dirty. Wielding Minimalist tropes awkwardly and irregularly, they recalled in their variations Joel Shapiro's sets of small clay objects and inked fingerprints from 1969 to 1972 that <a href="http://www.starr-art.com/exhibits/joel-shapiro_sculpture-drawings/">Craig F. Starr Gallery</a> showed earlier this year, though Anderson's mutations are readymade, ultimately impersonal selections, rather than handmade and intimately produced.<br />

The carefully handmade sculptures are elsewhere, though it took me a moment to spot them—peculiar objects set on top, around, and within the coal grid, like musical notes on a staff or words placed on the lines of a notebook. A fragmented, ad hoc syntax became apparent. Two short saloon doors, just a few inches tall and made of light wood, were ajar. Frog skeletons appeared in various places: climbing a piece of coal, asleep or dead on a bed—a pyre?—of leaves and gambling chips, and sprawled out next to at least half a dozen little bottles of liquor. It looked like a raucous party had come to an end hours earlier, only a few stragglers having failed to escape. Or maybe separate, solitary tragedies had just been playing themselves out all night. (Another, even more bracing possibility: this was the same frog, presented throughout the installation at various points in his or her life, like a biblical figure who reappears repeatedly throughout an old painting at different stages in a religious journey.)<br />

<br />
There was also a minuscule bowl of minuscule walnuts (complete with a properly proportioned nutcracker), tiny skis, a few little drums, (full-size) lemons, and a toy trireme-like vessel sitting not far away from the coal, guaranteed to sink immediately upon being placed in water, its body a slab of cement, its oars little wooden sticks. And all of this was lit by colored ceiling lights. (My photos don't really do it justice, but <a href="http://www.bedstuyloveaffair.us/">the gallery's website has some images that better capture the atmosphere</a>.)<br />

You could point to <a href="http://whitney.org/Exhibitions/CharlesLeDray">Charles LeDray</a>'s minute sculptures as a reasonable comparison, but Anderson's not interested in obviously obsessive (finicky) craftsmanship. She's building provisional, hilarious sculptures with seemingly whatever she has at hand. And all the while, there are hints of rich and strange stories playing themselves out. What were the Alcoholics Anonymous coins doing throughout the piece? The dead slug on a slab of concrete? And <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shufflepuck_Caf%C3%A9">the show's title</a>, referring to a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pUmfxM9h54">classic, bizarre air hockey video game</a>?
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/SA06.JPG" />
<br />
<br />
I'm tempted to think of the show as a dissembled, madcap, and maybe even slightly sinister version of Carrie Walter Stettheimer's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMWn5rsLxX8">dollhouse</a> at the Museum of the City of New York, though that's a structure that is eerily devoid of life, always begging to be activated by people, whereas Anderson's piece teems with signs of activity—maybe more activity than one could take in even on a long visit. Just when I thought I had seen the whole work, another little sculpture caught my eye, suggesting other stories.
<br />

Sheer novelty is a pretty dubious criterion for evaluating art, as Aldous Huxley wrote in his 1926 essay <a href="http://www.paradoxplace.com/Perspectives/Italian%20Images/Montages/Art/Best%20Picture%20Huxley%20Essay.pdf">"The Best Picture,"</a> warning about "the error of those who measure merit by a scale of oddness and rarity." There are plenty of unique, one-of-a-kind things that are terrible or worse, boring. But not Anderson's practice, which feels wonderfully, exceptionally unique in its blending of formal and narrative issues, and its absolute brio. The show has been stuck in my head for more than a month now. What was happening to those frogs? What are they up to now? Where will Anderson go next? Bring on the sequel.<br />

(A final note: the gallery takes its name from a cocktail that was offered for a time at <a href="http://www.bcrestaurantgroup.com/peaches">Peaches</a>, the redoubtable Southern-leaning New American restaurant located not far away in Bed-Stuy, a sign of good taste and ambition if ever there was one.)Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-50320053274055012162013-04-01T07:22:00.002-04:002019-02-02T09:36:06.340-05:00Matias Faldbakken's Untitled (Book Sculpture) in Oslo and at Documenta 13<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Matias Faldbakken, <i>Untitled (Book Sculpture)</i>, 2008/2012.</span><br />
<br />
Since Documenta only arrives every five years, hopefully it's okay to spend the next year or so writing about it.
<br />
<br />
One of the more unusual moments came in Kassel's Youth Library, where Matias Faldbakken had installed his <i>Untitled (Book Sculpture)</i> (2008/2012), throwing dozens of books from their shelves onto the ground. For the 100 days of the exhibition, the poor children of Kassel had to wade through the pile on the ground to find some volumes. Faldbakken also staged the work in the City Hall Library, though I sadly didn't make it there. (<a href="http://www.contemporaryartdaily.com/2012/06/documenta-13-matias-faldbakken/">Contemporary Art Daily has an epic selection of installation shots of that iteration</a>.)
<br />
<br />
The dating of the piece—2008/2012—was interesting to see. It turns out that it was first staged in 2008 at Oslo's Deichmanske Public Library, the largest public library in Norway. Kunsthall Oslo's director, Gunnar Eeg-Tverbakk, helped to arrange that presentation (pictured below) and <a href="http://brage.bibsys.no/khio/retrieve/20/05-01-12%20Critical%20reflections%20on%20Space%20for%20Interference.pdf">wrote extensively about the experience</a>. The <a href="http://brage.bibsys.no/khio/retrieve/20/05-01-12%20Critical%20reflections%20on%20Space%20for%20Interference.pdf">backstory</a> is awesome.

Eeg-Tverbakk and Faldbakken pitched the idea to the library and naturally did not expect an especially positive response, given that books could be damaged when they were thrown onto the floor, but the library agreed to it. And not only did they agree, they proposed making the project even more dramatic. Writes Eeg-Tverbakk:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[Library administrators] later suggested expanding the act of vandalism to include a much larger section of the collection, which Faldbakken rejected on artistic grounds. He was predominantly interested in the staged act of vandalism as a concentrated image, rather than a comprehensive state of affairs.</blockquote>
Not only did the library eagerly take up the project, but some patrons "in sympathy with the plight of the Library took matters into their own hands and began tidying the books and placing the back on the shelves again—only to find the pile on the floor again the next day." Only in Scandinavia. How great looking is that? It's scatter art realized through vandalism, a González-Torres-style pile that requires you to be a member of the institution to take away the souvenir.)<br />
<br />

<br />
Furthering confusion among the public, the piece was unlabeled at the Deichmanske Public Library, as it was in Kassel. Faldbakken asked librarians to tell people who asked about the mess: "It is somewhat unclear how this happened, but we have been told by the management that it will be taken care of shortly." That response is maybe as good as the piece itself: art requiring its host to lie to its users.
<br />
<br />
The Oslo library's head, Liv Sæteren, wrote a news release that it planned to issue in case there was a controversy over the project. (One wonders how often organizations do this?) It was never used, but it makes a pretty great case for the piece:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[The books] are still there, the thoughts are still there, the content is still there - but the system has been demolished and we have to search in new ways. In this light, we can see Faldbakken’s sculpture as a highly topical comment on the idea of a new library space.</blockquote>
It's a playful, slightly sinister attempt to imagine a reordering of knowledge, to be sure, but it also highlights the library, that sleepy and staid institution, as a site that can be contested, where very real conflicts can get played out (and have been played out in the past). I don't know how Norwegians felt about the work when they saw it back in 2008, but I know that in the center of Germany last summer, as part of an exhibition that was, in part, concerned with the unresolved, unresolvable traumas of World War II, those violently scattered books looked horrifying.<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Paintings by Michelle Grabner, sculptures by Tony Matelli at Green Gallery, Milwaukee, at Art Los Angeles Contemporary, January 26. </span><br />
<br />
Every once in a while, a plane rumbles overhead at Art Los Angeles Contemporary, which is set in the Barker Hangar at the Santa Monica Airport. Sounds stressful, I know, but it's actually sort of romantic. The vibe at the fair is so supremely relaxed that the air traffic just reminds you that you're in exotic territory, that you're on vacation. Things are different here! There were just 70 exhibitors at the fair, which ran January 24 through 27, so you could see it all in a few hours. Such a pleasure.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Paintings by Grabner at Green Gallery.</span><br />
<br />
Milwaukee's Green Gallery installed a handful of Tony Matelli's little metal weed sculptures along the walls of its booth, below some tasty, modestly scaled white paintings by Michelle Grabner. A special bonus: a handsome little book of her work from 2009, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Michelle-Grabners-Paintings-Metalpoint-Monoprints/dp/0578004003">published by Poor Farm Press</a>, could be had for $5. (One of Matelli's weed pieces is on view in the "Garden" section of the great <a href="http://www.bureau-inc.com/mainsite/Exhibitions/2013/Monsalvat.html">"Monsalvat" show</a> at Bureau, which I <a href="http://galleristny.com/2013/01/monsalvat-at-bureau/">reviewed recently for <i>The Observer</i></a>.)<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">The Lucie Fontaine-curated booth of Anat Ebgi and Various Small Fires, both of Los Angeles.</span><br />
<br />
Some other highlights: a meaty painting of a crab-claw feast by Gina Beavers at Clifton Benevento, a tight little painting on a photograph of some nude men by Aura Rosenberg and two heartbreaking printing plates by Ryan Foerster at Shoot the Lobster, a fabric piece—imprints of belts against a rich blue—by Travis Boyer at Vogt Gallery, Thomas Kovachevich abstractions at Callicoon Fine Arts, a painting hung with various figures and objects by Tom Thayer at Derek Eller.<br />
<br />
Anat Ebgi and Various Small Fires shared a striking booth that the rambunctious Lucie Fontaine outfit organized, filling the walls of the booth with a grid made of hundreds of little red dots. Check out that sumptuous red carpeting. Ambitious stuff. Plus (and this is a perfect marker of what a nice feel ALAC has), both Callicoon and Vogt had paintings by Sadie Benning. More images below.<br />

<br />
The tension grew quickly during Virginia Overton's performance on November 30 in the lower-level courtyard of the Whitney Museum as part of the one-night-only <a href="http://galleristny.com/2012/11/emergency-cheesecake-sanders-guyton-plan-evening-with-performances-pickle/">"Emergency Cheesecake"</a> event organized by Wade Guyton and Jay Sanders. She stood on a little raised stage, just a few yards from where John Knight installed <i><a href="http://www.artslant.com/ny/articles/show/30367">Curb Appeal</a> </i>(1966/2012)—his mysterious hood and rain chain—along the Breuer Building's bridge during the Whitney Biennial earlier in the year. Wild country music, a wailing fiddle, played in the glassed-in space as the crowd watched. Overton plugged electrical cords into a Vlasic pickle, and presented her handiwork to the crowd. Nothing happened. She looked a little bit embarrassed, not sure what to do. Overton, a master of tough, hyper-minimal, and slyly humorous work, was turning herself into a circus clown, performing—failing to perform—for a packed house. Pretty endearing, terrifying stuff. The song reset. What were we waiting for? But then the magic arrived.Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359843569314604044.post-88836781393982151482012-10-20T15:32:00.002-04:002019-02-02T09:38:51.060-05:00Brunch Treats, Francis Alÿs, John Armleder, etc. [Collected]<img src="http://www.andrewrusseth.com/16miles/murray830.JPG" /><br />

<br />
It's been a month since Documenta 13 ended its 100-day run in Kassel, Germany, and it feels, on the one hand, a little bit late to be writing about it. It's history. At the same time, it was so massive and so filled with various projects—its publications component alone included a series of 100 notebooks and three hulking catalogues—that I suspect many will be sifting through their memories and all of that material for a long time. I will be.
<br />
<br />
The Kassel Hauptbahnhof, the entrance for most people arriving to the show by rail, seems like a logical place to begin talking about the show. It's a sprawling station, and dates back to the very middle of the 19th century. During World War II, it was used to ship people to concentration camps. Much of it was damaged during the war, and reconstructed in a more modern style in the 1950s. (The Documenta 13 website has <a href="http://d13.documenta.de/#venues/venues/hauptbahnhof/">nice, short summaries of many of its exhibition sites</a>.)
<br />
<br />
In the intervening years the Hauptbahnhof has since been replaced as a hub for international train travel by the Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe station, about a seven-minute tram ride away. Except for the main, central part of the Hauptbahnhof, which has a few restaurants and bars, most of it was deserted throughout the day. Relatively small, nimble trams glided on a few tracks facilitating local and regional travel while rows of tracks sat largely empty.<br />
<br />
At the very far end of the waiting platform, a few minutes' walk away from the main station, Susan Philipsz presented one of the shows best moments, a very spare sound piece arrayed across 24 speakers. Here's her explanation from a <a href="http://d13.documenta.de/research/assets/Uploads/Studyforstrings.pdf">pamphlet that Documenta printed about the work</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I have asked a viola and a cello player to play their parts of Pavel
Haas’s <i>Study for String Orchestra</i>. However I have recorded them
playing each note separately so that each of the notes comes from
individual speakers, which I’ve installed out on the train tracks. The
effect is that the composition is fragmented, incomplete and scattered
over a wide area. Expanding and extending the recordings into the
space has the effect of abstracting the individual notes from the
composition as a whole. The beginning is reminiscent of industry or
the sound of trains moving along the tracks. The middle section is
more melancholic with individual notes calling across to each other
and finally the pizzicato seems to animate the cables above the tracks.</blockquote>
Haas was held captive at the Theresienstadt camp, in what is now the Czech Republic, along with many of the people who were sent there through Kassel. An orchestra at the camp presented the <i>Study</i> in 1944 during a visit from the Red Cross. The composer was later killed, and the manuscript was lost, but the work has since been pieced together with the individual instruments parts. And here it was, splintered and reassembled again, on the tracks in Kassel.<br />
<br />
Philipsz's roughly 13-minute version of the piece was played 20 times a day, on the hour and half hour from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. When I went in the middle of the afternoon in mid-August, only a few people were on the platform. (Though many of the main Documenta sites were packed with people, place off the main drag tended to be relatively quiet.)<br />
<br />
It started right on time, and though it was occasionally partially drowned out by announcements from various speakers along the tracks or a train or tram slowly lumbering into the station, it was never quite obscured by other sounds. Everyone lingered silently, listening as a few fleeting fragments of the past slipped through into the present.Andrew Russethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15959643115598272012noreply@blogger.com2
