Really wild to have the piece Cecilia Danell and I have collaborated on, ‘DISTURBANCE – Heracleum Mantegazzianum’, published by Minor Literature[s]! The essay is an ode to the little-liked giant hogweed and to the writings of gardener philosopher Gilles Clément. Massive thanks to the editors.

Prioni juxtaposes the photographic approaches of René Castro and Manit Sriwanichpoom; photo-based, one looks to the (then) future, the other mocks the (then) present

The thesis of Amirahvelda Priyono’s new photo essay for Circa, commissioned by Brian Curtin, is straightforward: conflict is similar the world over; not denying the specifics of a given struggle, art-related visual imagery is a powerful communicator across cultures.

One of the Circa texts Nurul Kaiyisah targets, re “the lacuna of women in art histories,” is that of Anne Carlisle on Vivien Burnside back in 1984 (https://circaartmagazine.net/issues/issue17/?pg=32&dbl=y); quite robust by Anne Carlisle!

Exploring women and art in the two regions, Kaiyisah draws from Circa’s huge archive – e.g., Jack Packenham on Alice Maher (https://circaartmagazine.net/issues/issue39?pg=38), Fionna Barber on Sonia Boyce (https://circaartmagazine.net/issues/issue34?pg=40), and more – but also juxtaposes global issues of then and now

As I’ve experimented with making “memory objects” from works of art I’ve seen, I’ve come to feel that time and repetition are crucial ingredients. When I try again with the same object, or let more time pass, I see a melding of self and object, a third thing which is neither me nor the work.

I found the center of the gallery floor, closed my eyes, and spun slowly—first clockwise, then counterclockwise, then clockwise again until my sense of orientation began to fade. I held my arm out in front of me, and opened my eyes. My hand pointed directly to a vermillion red pot with a crawl glaze. I recognized it immediately from an earlier walk through the gallery. It felt a little bit fated: did I choose it, or did it choose me?

This week’s installment of “Ways of Seeing” takes inspiration from Martin Buber’s beautiful “I and Thou,” which points towards more intimate and beautiful ways of relating to art. to each other, to the world.

Dear Friends,

I’ve been thinking about travel, and the way in which it offers shifts of perspective.

I recently carried this question into Renee Gladman’s show of drawings at Artists Space.

Dear Friends,

A few months ago I went to see the restoration of Eva Hesse’s Expanded Expansion and was surprised by my own response. As some of you know, I spent a couple of years in the apartment where Eva Hesse once lived at 134 Bowery, dreaming up possibilities for what art could be and soaking in aspects of her spirit. More of that story is in my book, if you’re curious.
