    Prospect.3 Opens in New Orleans with New Staff, New Philosophies

    As Prospect.3 gets under way in New Orleans (opening to the public on October 25th), the state of the conversation about contemporary art biennials keeps re-telling a story of the festival staircase and the critical railing that biennials have to ascend and grasp at the same time. Biennial or bust?  (“What’s the point?” wrote the Art Newspaper in 2011.) Battle of the Biennials ensued in The Economist in 2012. The issue had actually gotten More …

    Godfrey Reggio’s Visitors Return Life to A Legend

    I first met Godfrey Reggio when I was 10 years old. I was fascinated at the time with anything to do with the occult – witches, goblins, true-crime Satanist stories. My mother — infinitely fed up with my poor taste — sat me down to a film called Koyaanisqatsi. I squinted hard, laughed her off, and approached it like one would a long amusement park line – with unbridled hope More …

    Remembering Robin Rule, Denver Gallery Owner

    Robin Rule, the passionate and complicated Denver gallery owner, died of cancer on December 29, 2013, age 55. Her indomitable spirit animated the Denver art world from 1987 to 2013, and her legacy will forever be tied up with the issues of the contemporary art world today in which complex loyalties and the difficulty of maintaining a business as a woman owner without patrons, backers or trust fund still apply.

    Art for the Few? Or Art for The Many? Year-End Reflections

    If media coverage at the end of a year can seem like a redux of sameness — big money, big deals — consider in arts media the equity gap between the few stories that seem to get told hundreds or thousands of times, versus the thousands of stories that don’t get told a single time. (An inner voice says, “Don’t now try to argue for fairness.” Ok.) Here, though, is More …

    Telluride Fest: Docs On Rumsfeld, Iranian Exiles, French Radio

    One of Telluride Film Festival‘s many idiosyncracies is that the festival does not announce its program in advance. The festival has begun once the program is out. Here are a few suggestions about movies that have been much-awaited. In my view the most-awaited film at the festival, is The Unknown Known by Errol Morris, his portrait of Donald Rumsfeld, the man who brought you the war in Iraq and some great neologisms, More …
