    this study adds to African diasporic art history by recentering the quotidian.

    […]

    Most important, this book builds on the belief that while Black image makers operate in contexts in which their visibility and invisibility within dominant structures of meaning and value endlessly fluctuate, there has always been a rich tradition of visuality among Black viewers, creatives, and patrons, for whom a Black tradition of the visual is centrally located in the quotidian. As scholars of African American studies
    may term this space as part of a Black interiority, this book is indebted to a commitment to understanding the ordinary as part of the extraordinary, a space that reflects the richness of Black quotidian life.

    Jill Magid – The entrance to the booth is framed by an installation of Market Flowers, fresh-cut from open-air markets near the center of Paris, diverted from circulation and recontextualized as art.

    Collage de deux formes et de deux espaces, entrelacés par une pluie acide et accessoirisés de voiles en dentelle, de boas et de charms, Lies poursuit les recherches conceptuelles et formelles de Mimosa Echard sur la photographie en tant que médium intrinsèquement vulnérable, à la fois surface pénétrée et théâtre de projections artificielles. En juxtaposant les « architectures du plaisir » des deux derniers siècles — le fantasme d’un  safe space  sans radiations et les origines de l’expérience urbaine consumériste — l’artiste examine l’érotisme de la chair contemporaine et son désir inéluctable de devenir image.

    Pour cette première exposition personnelle au Centre Pompidou (elle a déjà présenté ses œuvres à Montréal, Varsovie, Los Angeles, La Havane ou Istanbul), Gaëlle Choisne propose un voyage temporel et sensoriel dans un espace recomposé. Au sol, des concrétions de liège teintes en noir, façon plage volcanique ; aux murs, de grands panneaux peints où s’agrègent divers éléments collectés. Et au centre, des sortes de « ruches », elles aussi en liège, depuis lesquelles sont projetées des images vidéo. Avec cette installation hybride, qui est aussi « un îlot, un archipel, un lieu où différentes réalités se cumulent pour être réinventées et réparées », l’artiste nous invite à « changer de perspective sur le monde et devenir l’observateur de sa propre espèce ». Centre Pompidou

    Our fall campaign Where Do We Go From Here?
    is a sweeping initiative aimed at inspiring more compassionate civic discourse and action, leading up to the 2024 election, at a time of extreme political polarization.

    To survive, we must be visionary, not reactionary. 

    We must be unified, without being uniform. We must let questions sharpen our view of the past,
    of the present, and of the future.

    Our first book, published by Phaidon/Monacelli, is now available! Join us to celebrate and reflect on our nationwide billboard campaigns 2017-2023 and more broadly, the necessity of creative civic action with artist collaborators.

    Discrepancias con M. G. (Mathias Goeritz), 2011 Curated by Tobias Ostrander 
    Museo Experimental el Eco.

    El término discrepancia describe una variación entre dos elementos que deberían de ser el mismo. Así, una discrepancia implica la existencia de un doble imperfecto, y articula una condición que da cabida a la evaluación y medida. La obra de Leonor Antunes, artista nacida en Lisboa y residente en Berlín, consiste en la producción de situaciones de este tipo, mediante el uso de repeticiones, duplicaciones o alteraciones de detalles dentro de un espacio o en la configuración de objetos.

    Al identificar su obra como “sucesos”, como experiencias construidas de duración limitada, las intervenciones escultóricas de Antunes buscan despertar las capacidades perceptivas del espectador; lo animan a involucrarse con cada espacio u objeto de manera novedosa, mientras reconocen que estas situaciones están llenas de energía, de relaciones interiores y memoria. La artista está interesada en la arquitectura y el diseño modernistas, ya que representan un periodo cultural de innovación extrema y de toma de riesgos formales. Durante los últimos años, ha desarrollado un vocabulario definido de materiales, mediante el uso repetido de varios tipos de cuerdas, cuero, hule, latón y madera; materiales que hacen referencia tanto a la producción manual como a la industrial, y que además apuntan hacia el periodo modernista.

    “[Emperor] Suinin is best known for events that surround the founding of the Ise Grand Shrine. The Nihon Shoki states that around 2,000 years ago the Emperor ordered his daughter Yamatohime-no-mikoto, to find a permanent location to worship the goddess Amaterasu-?mikami (the Sun Goddess).[5][7] Yamatohime searched for 20 years before settling on a location in Ise, where she established Naiku,[a] the Inner Shrine.[4][8] She is said to have chosen the location after she heard the voice of Amaterasu say; “(Ise) is a secluded and pleasant land. In this land I wish to dwell.”” Wikipedia.

    Consider: the verbal dearth

    that is always a main ripple of extinction.


    The lexicon of wilds goes on nixing its descriptions.

    Slimming its index of references

    for what is

    super as a rhubarb, and juicy

    as a peach,or sunken as a

    comb and ancient as an alder tree, or

    conifer, or beech, what is royal

    as jelly, dark as a wintering

    hive, toxic as the jessamine vine

    who weeps the way a willow does,

    silently as wax

    burned in the land of milk and

    all the strong words in poems,

    they were once

    smeared on the mandible of a bee.
