• The Caretaker by Doon Arbus: A lush, disorienting novel that takes no prisoners as it explores the perils of devotion and the potentially lethal charisma of things.
“Doon Arbus’s beautiful, moving, original novel does just what we want a novel to do: It creates a fictional world that reflects, illuminates and reveals the ‘real’ world we live in. This wryly funny, subversively philosophical book is brief—yet deep enough to contain humans and objects, love and death, memory and amnesia, oblivion and survival. It generates its own musical score: a phrase of Satie, a few notes of the Well-Tempered Clavier, and then the Beethoven sonata.” —Francine Prose (@prose.francine)
“Doon Arbus’s debut novel is a kind of mystery––about who we become, what the absent leave us with, and why. Dense, visual, and true, this short book speaks volumes about the theatre of the mind, and how the ensuing comedic drama we call life unfolds inside and outside our control. A marvelous new voice.” —@Hilton.Als

Evening by Stan Douglas, born on this day in 1960, is still as relevant and profound as it was the year it was created: 1994.
The three-channel video work is based on late 1960s archival news footage. To create Evening, Douglas hired actors to reenact local Chicago news broadcasts, and his reconstruction shines a stark light on the media’s disconnected and contradictory tone during a time of social and political unrest in America. It explores the development of the “Happy Talk” news format of the ‘60s and ‘70s, which puts an emphasis on “human interest” stories and presenting all news, no matter how grim, in a cheerful, bantering style.
When viewed today we’re reminded of how much the news has changed over the last 50 years, from the introduction of the 24-hour news cycle to the proliferation of “Fake News,” and the unsettling truth of always having to question: what’s real and what’s doublespeak?

The present work, included in our @FriezeArtFair presentation (link in bio), belongs to a group of works on paper featuring the head of a saint. The series originates from the artist’s investigation of images of Black saints, reflecting his interest in religious iconography and synthesizing his Catholic upbringing and African and Western visual and historical traditions. Here Ofili employs gold leaf to create a halo-like aura that formally recalls his signature “afro heads” motif, a hallmark of the artist’s drawing practice.

@BrooklynRail: “Josh Smith has done it again. With a palette favoring lilac, tangerine, lime, and citron, he has transformed a relatively bland subject into a fevered dreamscape. In his current show at David Zwirner’s Upper East Side gallery, he’s depicted the streets of an imaginary, pedestrian and vehicle-free place as it might have looked during the recent lockdown. Think Bushwick without graffiti. Smith has erected industrial buildings, residential homes, a few shops, maybe some bars. It’s probably night because lots of windows are aglow with light. Instead of the radiant, clear blue skies that New Yorkers enjoyed throughout the spring and summer of 2020, Smith has rendered a more somber, overcast atmosphere. The dark streets and narrow sidewalks are uninviting. As for the two and three-story structures, they are a cross between what you’d find on a Hollywood backlot and the sort of primitive structures limned in proto-Renaissance predella panels.” ––@phyllis_tuchman

“Zvavahera’s representation of women’s roles and their bodies in her opaque painterly style touches on women’s issues not solely in her own locale, but also worldwide.… The painted patterns perform the task of obstructing easy visual access to the women represented.… This active veiling is a moment of resistance and self-empowerment.” —Nomaduma Rosa Masilela, art historian

was enthralled by color, and he continued to explore its visual and artistic qualities throughout his life. As the artist wrote in his diary: “[Color] penetrates so deeply and so gently into me. I feel it and it gives me confidence in myself without effort. Color has got me. I don’t have to pursue it. It will possess me always, I know it…. Color and I are one.”
Klee’s ability to interrelate his subject and visual style was unparalleled and further enhanced by his choice of titles, which are at times witty and humorous and at other times somber and piercing. In Folter (Torture) (1938), a face and body are recognizable within a composition of twisting geometric lines and overlaying reds, oranges, and yellows. Though Klee worked primarily on paper during the 1930s, the present work is a rare painting on board that he created using a paste-like paint made by combining adhesives and pigment.

Happy birthday to you, @jordanmatthewwolfson. The above group of oval-shaped brass panels feature unaltered and unobscured prints of Wolfson’s childhood snapshots, circa 1984 to 1990. An evolution of the artist’s ongoing series of sculptural objects mounted to the wall, the recent panels are the most personal that Wolfson has created to date. In contrast to many of his works featuring advanced digital and virtual technologies, the brass panels allude to ancient metallurgy, classical sculpture, and the radiant, gilded surfaces of churches and altarpieces from the Middle Ages.

While the subjects featured in ’s exhibition are notionally calm, solid, and meditative, the works were each conceived very much in action. While driving on a French highway at a breakneck clip, the artist became aware of the trees lining the road in his peripheral vision. They formed a visceral impression, defined by speed and movement that was at once concrete and ethereal. The paintings of trees that Ancart subsequently made, in generously applied oil stick on large-scale canvases, re-create the sensate impression of that experience, making the transitory eternal. The trees are cropped, almost indistinguishable, while the dense array of colors of the leaves, bark, and surrounding sky bleed into one another, creating an arresting blur.

In the middle of the desert in Qatar, four enormous steel plates rise from the bleak landscape, oriented along an east-west axis over a half-mile stretch. The monolithic structures comprise Richard Serra’s sculpture East-West/West-East—the artist’s second public commission from the Qatar Museums Authority. Several years ago, while in Doha for the first commission (the 80-foot-high sculpture 7, which stands in the city’s harbor near the I. M. Pei-designed Museum of Islamic Art), Serra visited the Brouq Nature Reserve. “I was drawn to that desert because of its topography,” he says. “The site is rugged and craggy, with shell underfoot, very arid and windy.” He noted the distinctive gypsum plateaus, “shaped like oversized mushrooms,” which, at around 50 feet high, defined East-West/West-East’s scale. Informed by the site’s incline, the installation’s four imposing pieces vary in height from 48 to 55 feet, level with the tops of the plateaus. Initially bluish-gray in color, the half-inch-thick plates will develop a patina as they oxidize and weather, transitioning to orange, brown, and finally a dark brown-black. “Working in the desert is something I hadn’t thought I’d do,” says Serra, “and it ended up being one of the better experiences of my life. I’d never spent that much time in that vast a space, and there’s something very humbling about it.” (Words by @MiriamSitz for @archrecordmag)
