Sharon Hayes's reworking of Allan Kaprow's Yard (1961), titled Yard (Sign) (1961/2009), last seen at the New York Marble Cemetary in the East Village in early October as part of Hauser & Wirth's "Allan Kaprow: Yard" show, is included in Emily Roysdon's "Ecstatic Resistance" at X. Hauser & Wirth has really nice interviews between Sarah Lawrence art history professor Dr. Judith Rodenbeck and each of the three artists who were invited to participate in the project, Hayes, William Pope.L, and Josiah McElheny.

I saw Rosalind Krauss outside the Gagosian gallery... We had a hundred-thousand people! And I thought, 'That’s my revenge against this academicism.'

Art in the White House, Visits to Interesting Times and Places, etc. [Collected]

• ArtInfo asked some folks what art Obama should show in the White House. Edward Winkleman went with Edward Hopper. Doreen Remen suggested Barkley Hendricks. Andres Serrano recommended his own work. [via Winkleman]
• Cotter makes it clear that No Soul for Sale is a ball.
• Modern Art Notes stopped at Dia:Beacon on a Twitter-broadcasted tour of museums.
• Anaba noted that Thierry Goldberg Projects, at 5 Rivington, is in Richard Prince's old Spiritual America space. (Added to the Lost Art of New York Map.)
• Two Coats of Paint jumped into the Pollock & Krasner papers now online and emerged with quite a few gems.
• Matthew Barney and Elizabeth Peyton made some art in Greece involving an older slaughterhouse and paintings submerged in the sea. A massive dinner party followed. C-Monster reports.
• Old news: Gagosian is nearly doubling the size of his LA space with the help of Richard Meier. Is this the art equivalent of Warren Buffett pumping $5 billion into Goldman Sachs in September?

Free Beer at X, Animals and Artists, Maya Lin, etc. [Collected]

"With more than one thousand beer cans to be consumed in the course of one evening, the performance creates an instant community: as beer cans are emptied, Martin Soto Climent will alter them with a slight crush and places them on the floor in a formation."

- Press release for Martin Soto Climent's performance at X.

• Visitors to the Martin Soto Climent's performance on June 23 will consume many beers, reminding us a bit of Tom Marioni's FREE BEER... piece shown at SFMOMA recently.
• Winkleman suggests that people interested in art are also curious about animals, referencing the charming art collectors Herb & Dorothy Vogel, who are in a new film.
• "At Storm King I'm working with the idea of what happens when those waves go above your head." - Maya Lin, interviewed by Time critic Richard Lacayo. She's working on a video for Times Square.

Upcoming Talks [Calendar]

The New York art fairs open up this week.  In the realm of academia, though, there are also big things happening this month.  Here are our picks for the best talks, listed chronologically and to be updated throughout the month.  They include former Guild & Greyshkul partner Sara VanDerBeek on her photography, two Dia events, another in the new Elizabeth Dee-initiated space, X, that used to belong to Dia, and a pair of talks featuring Hal Foster, who easily wins the award for best lecture titles.
