A brush with...A brush with... Suzanne JacksonSuzanne Jackson talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Jackson, who was born in 1944 in St. Louis, Missouri, but grew up in San Francisco and Fairbanks, Alaska, has worked across drawing and painting, poetry, dance and theatre, to explore a strong and often spiritual connection between people and the natural world. With a fluid and poetic painting style, Suzanne has responded to the many different natural and social environments in which she has lived in the US, from San Fran...

For The Worldbuilders083. Use Erotic Engineering To Create A Life Rooted In Your DesireErotic Engineering is a wild field of study and practice that uses the erotic as power to design a life rooted in desire. Inside this practice the desire we center is both personal and collective. Erotic Engineering pulls from the work of black feminist poetry, literature and worldbuilding which provides the material we use to create new belief systems that scaffold lives in deeper alignment with our values. It is a method for actualizing desire and putting language to the longings of our interior worlds in order to transform our material world.ResourcesRegister for the...

跟着艺术去旅行EP16 看了一周展览，我们懂了另一种“躺平”上个月，我和朋友、艺术史学者张宇凌共同前往我们喜欢的城市——巴黎，因为10月16日开幕的巴黎巴塞尔，这座城市的各个博物馆都启动了一系列重要展览。在一个星期的时间里，我们看了大约20个展览，所谈论的话题也都围绕着展览的主题——艺术是一种身份。这个标语被巴黎大大小小的博物馆呈现着，它不仅是艺术家个人的身份，也是一座城市思维方式的呈现，一座城市的身份。🗺️一份观展地图：“女性”是当下的艺术市场无法绕开的话题，在巴黎巴塞尔中有许多对女性艺术的呈现，比如小皇宫Jesse Darling的公共项目，卡地亚艺术基金会的Olga de Amaral编织艺术展，以及奥赛博物馆Barbara Chase-Riboud的展览等等，但巴黎这次的艺术联动对女性艺术家的发掘不太一样，我们看到了许多“老女人”的作品，这里没有贬义的意思，我们发现在女性艺术家的一生中，出于主动或被动的原因，可能和日常结合地更紧密一些，虽然这些家务事、感情的起落看起来把她们从纯粹的艺术专注中抽离了，但同时也避免了另一个东西，就是被一时的主义或浪潮裹挟，或者被标志性作品桎梏。在这些“老女人”的作品中，你能感受到她们没有被社会机制耗尽的真实感。身份是一种局限，也是一种优势。皮诺当代艺术收藏中心的“贫穷艺术展”(Arte Povera)是此行我最爱的展览之一，“贫穷艺术”是二战之后在意大利萌生的艺术潮流，艺术家选用废旧工业材料、日常自然材料，或被忽视的材料作为表现媒介，注重它们的重量和结构的对比，推崇形体本身的意义。我看这个展览的最大感概，就是这些贫穷艺术家的“高智商”，他们有很高的感受力和思考力，理性和感性在艺术作品中同时到达巅峰。在他们的创作下，日常之物，例如咖啡粉、旧衣服，有了不同于本身的另外一种呈现。张宇凌还提出了一个有趣的感受，就是贫穷艺术中的“躺平”。“躺平是一件很前卫的事情”，不管是艺术品还是建筑，强调水平感（horizontal)，而不是直立感（vertical），是现代以后很重要的革命性姿态。展览中的作品不是靠墙，就是铺在地面，高度不会太高，强调和自然、大地、人去连接。我回想起2011年与贫穷艺术很具影响力的艺术家雅尼斯·库奈里斯的对话，他评价达米恩·赫斯特的作品与他的不同，是“垂直的”，也印证了这一点。 （《“演”和“译”：库奈里斯在中国》；《“我不只是保守，是非常保守”》）【时间轴】00:01:08 我们逛了20+展览，推荐给你00:18:30 在小皇宫，古典与街头艺术无缝衔接00:22:26 巴黎巴塞尔是如何呈现女性艺术家的？00:31:05 超现实主义女性艺术家：我没空做缪斯00:44:20 什么是“贫穷艺术”？00:48:04 “我不只是保守，是非常保守”00:56:38 躺平是一个很前卫的事情01:10:23 如何做一个“开阔的当代人”？01:15:05 时代越迷茫，艺术越蓬勃卡地亚当代艺术基金会的Olga de Amaral展览，图片来自张宇凌卡地亚当代艺术基金会的Olga de Amaral展览，图片来自张宇凌小皇宫Jesse Darling, VANITAS，图片来自张宇凌小皇宫，图片来自张宇凌皮诺当代艺术收藏中心，Arte Povera，图片来自张宇凌皮诺当代艺术收藏中心，Arte Povera，图片来自张宇凌皮诺当代艺术收藏中心，Arte Povera，图片来自曾焱 朵拉·玛尔 (Dora Maar)，法国摄影师、画家、诗人《艺术是一场冒险》，曾焱，商务印书馆，2024-6

Gregory MeanderA learning, a shift, and a season.It has been six months since I wrote my last entry on Philip Guston while in Washington, D.C. A friend recently had asked me how my writing was going and she had asked if she’d missed an entry. It was a thoughtful question and I had not stopped to think about why I had not written. I think I took a break. Unintentionally. Often, things happen that prevent writers from writing. We love to make excuses. Often. Life happens. Life keeps coming at you and things shift in priority. I fell in love. I lost a...

Gregory MeanderWhat's going on in New York?I feel like I did not give visual art justice in my previous post. I mixed in two exhibitions with all the theater I had seen. They should have their own separate posts. I am still trying to tease out the theater from the art from the comedy from the dance. Sometimes the weeks have blurred together and my unpacking all of it seemingly will cross over into 2023. I am learning the more focus I give to my writing the better it resonates with the audience. It has been a year of learning and most of all, seeing. I...

Russian human rights group Memorial has been working since the 1980s to expose abuses by the Russian state. The Nobel committee recognized this in awarding the group this year’s Peace Prize, which it shares with Ukraine’s Center for Civil Liberties, and an imprisoned Belarusian human rights advocate. Christiane speaks with its Chairman Jan Raczynski about the Nobel honor and his fight against repression.
