Morning light, Ellsworth Kelly Chapel, UT-Austin. Two minutes after I took this photo, kids arrived on a school tour and began playing hopscotch on the colors. They get it.

Took a trip to Gainesboro,TN a few weeks ago to see the Vickie Vainionpää show. Her show is up until 30 August. Well worth it.

The people who want to turn universities into “workforce development centers” and the people who want to use AI to get rid of large swaths of the workforce are the same people.

Last one for now. Julie Mehretu wondered what would happen if she made work that was translucent, where light played an active and evolving role in the appearance of her artwork. Results are gorgeous. Prehistoric cave paintings reimagined in new ways. Wonderful show.

I loved Tess Donovan’s delightful mechanical air-powered medieval polyphony machine at The New Museum. Robotic and tech-driven installation work rarely feel more human. Surrealism + Bosch + Rube Goldberg + a warm sonic hug. My photo doesn’t do it justice, but I will share it anyway. Gotta be there.

Don’t miss Bobby Anspach’s “Place for Continuous Eye Contact" in NYC. Few artworks have engaged issues of consciousness, mindfulness, and the cognitive dimensions of aesthetic experience in an environment that is as supportive and compassionate as this one. www.bas-foundation.com/visit?utm_so...

Next few posts = some of the best art I saw last week in NYC. Anselm Kiefer’s paintings currently up at Gagosian hover between Byzantine Icons and James McNeill Whistler (symphonies in green and gold). On the sunny day I visited, the skylights made them sparkle. gagosian.com/exhibitions/...

While I know that the song “The Captain of Her Heart” is by a band from Switzerland, I still to this day imagine it to be a solo project by Daryl Dragon from Captain & Tennille.

Expansive, overwhelming scale. The free play of imagination. Where, as White Cube puts it, “colour is treated as a transformative force that acts directly upon perception, disrupting how visitors feel and experience space.” Love Katharina Grosse. www.whitecube.com/gallery-exhi...

Routledge has some great titles in their handbook series. I own a few. But this title sets a new standard. I’ve never met any of their editors, but I can’t help but love them.

RIP Jürgen Habermas. Never, in my lifetime certainly, have we been more in need of the means to create and maintain a healthy public sphere. Authoritarians know this. To control the discourse, and control the public, they must control the platforms. mitpress.mit.edu/978026258108...

The history of contemporary art is to no small extent the story of artists trying in vain to convince people to stop asking them what their art means.

When Artists Are Too Old to Be “Emerging”
If the art world is serious about equity, it has to stop equating emergence with youth and start building structures that reflect the multiplicity of artistic timelines.
