I sat with Christian Kerez in a Milanese apartment, in which he houses his home and architecture office. In the sequence of spaces one tiny room has six doors and a single door divides 3 zones of the flat. The art in his practice is to simply describe the medium. In doing so Christian Kerez offers a zero-degree architecture, where space is revealed and not designed.

For Joan Jonas, April marks the culmination, through two major exhibitions, of a career whose scope is as vast as America itself, providing an opportunity for all of us to experience the length and breadth of her oeuvre.

In this original story, Samuel Rutter envisions an afternoon with fictional lepidopterist Matt Damon. The dreams themselves are having dreams in a way that reminds me of Sebald or the Saragossa Manuscript. Even when seated, the narrator engenders a dizziness in the reader. Once standing, dizziness gives way to benign vertigo—a pleasant spin around a butterfly house. Rutter has the rare ability to maintain a sense of bonhomie and comfort while the narrators thoughts flit and spiral.

It is hard to believe, but Florian Pumhösl has begun to dig even deeper into the strata of modernism—this time, though, his excavations are real and not just figurative. For more than two decades, the Austrian artist has methodically explored the legacy of abstraction.

My outdoor sculptures and walking locations are not subject to possession and ownership. I like the fact that roads and mountains are common, public land.

I remember being in full rapture before many of her paintings, due, at least in part, to the maximal stimulant of urban energies made up of numerous tightly edged regions of bright colors evoking a post-Surrealist geography of imagination.

At a talk at Dia Chelsea in March, Hong Kong-born, New York-based filmmaker, artist, and writer Tiffany Sia aptly characterized her new book as a “montage on paper.” On and Off-Screen Imaginaries collates six essays—several of which had earlier versions published in Film Quarterly and October—penned in the wake of the 2019–2020 Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill protests in Hong Kong, the subsequent passage of the 2020 National Security Law geared toward quashing dissen...

It has been thirty-five years since Jenny Holzer lit up the Guggenheim Museum with a blazing electronic line of LED messages that curled around the interior of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic spiral. For many of us who saw it at the time, it is remembered as one of the most spectacular and insightful site-specific installations of the 1980s. For those who have only seen it reproduced in books or magazines, the opportunity to have a physical encounter with Holzer’s installation is a gift. T...

Nathaniel Dorsky and Jerome Hiler are returning to New York. Partners in life and cinema for nearly sixty years, this month, MoMA and Anthology Film Archives will present a panoply of screenings of their experimental, personal, and mostly silent films—spanning from their earliest endeavors of the 1960s when they were immersed in New York’s cross cultural artistic bloom, to more recent poetic transmissions from their perch in San Francisco.
