while accounting for … grief

For Freedoms: Where Do We Go From Here? …is in hand. (p. 122, 123).

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.

For Freedoms

…

while accounting for tides, currents, grief

drift numbness
sudden storms of pain
unexpected joy

to reckon is to believe
something true

Dead Reckoning, Hyejung Kook

Israel burned people, including Shaban al-Dalou. Senseless destruction of life, at least 42,000 people had been killed in the war so far. Too many of them are children. Too many of them journalists.

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.

Playing with Bees, RK Fauth

Rebecca Horn, Labyrinth of the Soul: Drawings 1965-2015. Sean Kelly, New York, January 7 – February 18, 2023.

“From around 2003-2015, Horn produced an impressive group of large-scale works referred to as Bodylandscape, paintings on paper that extended her interest in the body as machine into an autobiographical, performative arena. Incorporating pencil, acrylic, and watercolor and gouache with text, these energetic works are scaled to the artist’s own proportions, defined by the limit to which her arms could extend when building the sometimes-frenzied compositions through the movements and actions of her own body.”
