    Thoughts on Santa Fe’s Legendary Zozobra, An Historic to Modern Spectacle

    He’s been burned and rebuilt since 1926. He hangs from his pole, a large-scale marionette, and watches through bulging eyes as the crowd grows larger and the fireworks burn brighter. He’s seen families eat picnics at his feet, children point at his curly hair, artists circle his skirts, and teenagers throw him a finger. He himself changes year to year — eyes grow narrower, lips fatter, ears rounder. The ritual More …

    Writing on the Wall: Tom Joyce Fabricates for the National September 11 Memorial Museum

    Ten words and thirty-seven forged steel letters, their material having had genesis as World Trade Center steel, spell out a sentence by Virgil, from The Aeneid: “No day shall erase you from the memory of time.” As epitaph to unidentified human remains from the September 11 tragedy, the thought will hang in one line, along a 100-foot span of concrete wall of the National September 11 Memorial Museum in New More …

    David Kimball Anderson’s Roman Ascetism at Bellas Artes

    David Kimball Anderson is a metallurgist whose new show at Bellas Artes Gallery, Travel: Rome, Namche is full of steel constructions that are simple if not austere. He traveled to Rome in 2009 for the first time and muses that he spent 45 minutes alone with Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne.  His show materialized from this trip, and was also informed by the story of a friend who fell ill while traveling in More …

    Filmmaker Stan Brakhage Inspires “Visual Rhythm” at BMOCA

    Visual Rhythm at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (BMOCA) eases viewers into the world of experimental film, video and digital art—an experience that can be immersive. The exhibition links recent directions in new media art to earlier artistic explorations—primarily those of experimental filmmaker Stan Brakhage (1933-2003). Brakhage is considered to be one of the most important figures in 20th-experimental cinema; he liked to call his work poetic film. “In the More …

    CAMH’s Curator of It is what it is. Or is it? Talks Readymades – and Houston

    Marcel Duchamp’s readymades are an unmistakably radical gesture in the history of modern art. First produced in 1913, the readymades were, for the artist, “a form of denying the possibility of defining art.” Today, the readymade has been so integrated into artistic strategy and discourse that either object or idea can be a readymade. Recuperating the radicality of Duchamp’s gesture has much to do with the exhibit It is what More …

    Follow the Dots to Yayoi Kusama, at the Whitney

    The tribute to Yayoi Kusama at the Whitney Museum of American Art is intended to bring some fun and whimsy to Manhattan this summer. The show that was already at the Tate Modern is now in the city where Kusama, now 83, let her hair down. She fell in with hippies in the late 1960’s – and she never got the psychedelia out of her system – or the Op Art. The polka More …

    Knifight Revives Goth Dance in Texas

    When I was in my late teens, one of my favorite places to hang out was in a Philadelphia nightclub called Revival. I remember that the only light sources consisted of strobes and black lights. Occasionally the room would get bright enough to make out the gargoyles on the walls and a clock that spun backwards. Everyone wore black on the outside because black is how they felt on the More …

    REVIEW: Here and Now, Choreographers Presented in Austin

    Choreographer–dancer Katherine Hodges, with her producing organization Ready|Set|Go!, in is her fourth season of presenting plurality. What sets Hodges apart from other organizations doing the same types of performances—short, unrelated works ripped from any context they may have had—is her dedication to mostly serious choreographers. While I applaud her effort to curate in a city where, as I recently heard it put, no one is a hobbyist, the gala-style performance More …

    Marina Abramovic, The Artist Is Present: Silent Stare, Vanity Movie

    MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ THE ARTIST IS PRESENT is now present in movie theaters. The release comes after a long victory lap on the festival circuit following the reverential film’s premiere at Sundance 2012, and its sales to territories all over the world at the 2012 Berlin International Film Festival. I expect the elegantly made documentary to do well at the box office, just as Abramovic’s performance/exhibition at the Museum of Modern More …
