Arp 282
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope feels incredibly three-dimensional for a piece of deep-space imagery. The image shows Arp 282, an interacting galaxy pair composed of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 169 (bottom) and the galaxy IC 1559 (top). Interestingly, both galaxies have monumentally energetic cores known as active galactic nuclei (AGN), although that is difficult to tell from this image, which is fortunate. If the image revealed the full emission of both AGNs, their brilliance would obscure the beautifully detailed tidal interactions we see in this image. Tidal forces occur when an object’s gravity causes another object to distort or stretch. The direction of tidal forces is away from the lower-mass object and toward the higher mass object. When two galaxies tidally interact, gas, dust, and even entire star systems can move toward one galaxy and away from the other. The image reveals this process in action as delicate streams of matter visibly link the two galaxies.
Astronomers now accept that an important aspect of how galaxies evolve is the way they interact with one another. Galaxies can merge, collide, or brush past one another – each interaction significantly affecting their shapes and structures. As common as such interactions may be, it is rare to capture an image of two galaxies interacting in such a visibly dynamic way.

Kippenberger’s key works, for me, are a series of assembled sculptures called “Peters,” which he produced in the late nineteen-eighties. In German, Peter means “guy,” and, when used as a suffix, may denote a role or an attribute (as we say “cable guy”). Kippenberger adopted it as shorthand for any stylistic tic by which artists identify or brand—and, thereby, caricature—themselves. (“Peter-ness” might be interpreted as “ness-ness.”) A dizzying mishmash of techniques and vaguely familiar styles—in wood and steel, furniture and mirrors, photographs and printed signs—the Peters express a spirit of swing-barrelled derision, hinting that every conceivable artistic attitude is inescapably vain and selfdefeating. For the most notorious of the pieces, Kippenberger built a coffee table, using an abstract painting by Richter, which he had bought, for the top. (The piece sold at what amounted to a steep discount.) Other Peters immortalize banana peels in cast resin, present an Aldo Rossi chair with holes drilled in it, and entitle a gawkily carpentered wooden enclosure “Playpen for Brochures.” Most of the subjects are unclear, but you may still feel their pain, as the artist gores them.

[NAME] opens
via mailchimp [NAME] is opening up a storefront at 6572 SW 40th Street. We’re having a little party to celebrate this milestone this Saturday, February 12th, from 2-5pm. Though we’ll officially start celebrating at 2pm, the shop will be open from 11am on, showcasing the books and editions that [NAME] has produced since 2009, with artists such as Christy Gast, Adler Guerrier, Beatriz Monteavaro, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Nathan Carter, Brian Kennon, and Cristina Lei Rodriguez, among so many others. We will also have some of the scholarly publications that we have worked on, including Walls Turned Sideways: Artists Confront the Justice System; Practice Space; Dark Nights of the Universe, and more.
If you’re unable to join us on Saturday, visit us soon. Starting February 16th, we’ll be open from 11–5pm.
