U in a movie called The Green Ray

“August the month it’s meant to happen. Plans get made, the fleetingness of the ruse. She gets dropped within minutes: no more vacation.” Straddling fiction and object-oriented writing, Travis Jeppesen revisits Éric Rohmer’s The Green Ray (1986), sketching the main character Delphine’s torments as she (“U”) is left without plans just as Paris is emptying out for the summer.

Ten Short Fictions on Works by Joachim Bandau

Between 1967 and 1974, Joachim Bandau made a series of fiberglass works fusing the anthropomorphic with eerie appropriations from technology and industry. Entering into the playful, experimental, and uncanny spirit of Bandau’s sculptures, Nick Currie responds with ten short works of fiction.

Contact Barrier

Patricia L. Boyd speaks with Dora Budor on probing the architectural, emotional, and psychological boundaries of an institution; what the compartmentalization of physical spaces means for inner experience and thinking; barriers, negative spaces, and loaned perceptions; and Hold, her recent exhibition at Kunstverein München.

Primary Resistance

“With animals, the left turns right.” This was the outset for Fahim Amir’s award-winning book Being and Swine: The End of Nature (as We Knew It) (2020). In conversation with Sohrab Mohebbi, Amir deepens the subject of “solidarity with animals,” locating his discourse within a Marxist tradition and expanding it into a post-development train of thought that questions anthropocentric socialism and capitalist exploitation.

Focus on: Julie Becker
The Delirium of Digression
Outside the Vitrine (Julie Becker, Sparkle Woman)

“Distortions in time, changes in scale, senses of derealization and depersonalization. Makeshift force fields, cardboard boxes, corners of the mind, and iconic figures mobilized as transports of the imagination capable of stirring the mind out of its single room-squalor and into a ‘larger more complex world.’” In “The Delirium of Digression,” Sabrina Tarasoff ponders Julie Becker’s imagery as a domestically shaped fever dream, while in “Outside the Vitrine (Julie Becker, Sparkle Woman)” Mark von Schlegell recalls his friendship with Becker by way of her obsession with the immediate world around her: her studio, her apartment, her neighborhood in Los Angeles. “By revealing the illusionary foundations of cultural projects in which the only escape is for the purpose of eternal return, Becker approached the inside as a special case of the outside wasteland, a site of living, layered presences, fetishizing and fixing their absences on the flat surface of things.”

Once Upon a Time There Was a Phantasmatic Storyteller

Author of an autonomous, experimental, and both intimate and radically political practice, Giuseppe Desiato epitomizes the heterodox intellectual in the history of contemporary Italian art. According to Andrea Viliani, Desiato stages the archetype of a Mediterranean sensibility, that “southern” and popular exception that the tension toward modernity has systematically forced to the margins.

A Heart Pierced by an Angel’s Spear

“I want to disrupt the way language is formed,” notes Tarek Lakhrissi, referring to a practice rooted in literature. Conversing with Hans Ulrich Obrist, the artist unfolds his inspirations from pop culture and how his research on queerness, emotions, spirituality, education, decoloniality, and empowerment points to the creation of spaces of sharing and community.

On Those Shores But in These Shoes

Delving into Ingrid Pollard’s work, Ella S. Mills outlines resonances and interpretations of the sea in the artist’s practice. Combining photography, text, found objects, personal photos, and letters, Pollard explores traditional landscape, portraiture, ingrained social constructs, national identity, ownership, borders, and grand narratives of history.

The Spiraled Heart of Abandoned Things:
Ann Greene Kelly by Andrew Berardini

“Weathering the sun and rain and chill, they linger, waiting for anyone at all to see in their bedraggled and jilted bodies some new purpose besides disintegration: the tire to become a planter, a tree swing, tread for new cheap shoes—or, in Kelly’s hands, art.” Andrew Berardini on Ann Greene Kelly’s sculptures.

On Psychotic Images and Other Visual Symptoms by Aurélien Le Genissel

Visual art encompasses countless levels of language, withholding unspoken fears, dreams, and ideologies. Aurélien Le Genissel scrutinizes the techniques that artists, in our image-saturated world, employ to represent psychological demons and the ways we deal with them.

Based on a True Story: Todd Haynes’s Dark Waters and New New Left Cinema by Emily Verla Bovino and Hera Chan

Todd Haynes’s Dark Waters (2019) prompts Hera Chan and Emily Verla Bovino to examine the reliance of U.S. cinema on the purported truth, and the way we experience such reenactments as banal naturalizations of history.

A World without Angles: Larry Bell by Marie de Brugerolle

From his first paintings to his angle-cut and unframed standing walls, Larry Bell has explored the interaction of light on surface, and the resulting effects of vision and perception. Marie de Brugerolle investigates his pioneering work and inventiveness, as well as his decades-long impact on other artists.

The Sleeping Beauty Concept Works by Sabrina Tarasoff

Inspecting the oeuvre of Eyvind Earle, lead stylist on Disney’s 1959 animated musical fantasy Sleeping Beauty, Sabrina Tarasoff draws a parallel between the main character’s dormant immobility and Earle’s manner of stilling perspective to say something about our fears and fallibilities—without all the unnecessary anguish of “real life.”

Beyond Latin America, The Perpetual Quest for Specificity: Gabriel Kuri by Chris Sharp

In conversation with Gabriel Kuri, Chris Sharp underscores the enthralling application of Minimalism in the artist’s practice and its particular Latin Americanness. Convinced that the more precise forms are, the more effortless they should appear, Kuri’s sculptural practice testifies to an insistence on procedure, eschewing the hand or facture.

The Waves of Possibility from The Ocean of Reality and I am Made and Remade Continually, 2018

In his short story “The Largest Theme Park in the World” (1989), J. G. Ballard describes an alternative vision of the 1990s in which a rich, prosperous continent reaps the benefits of a borderless, free-trade Europe to create a continent of leisure. He writes: “In 1995, the headiest year since 1968, the necessary legislation was swiftly passed by a dozen parliaments, which dissolved themselves and assigned their powers to the European Assembly at Strasbourg. So there came into being the new Europe, a visionary realm that would miraculously fuse the spirits of Charlemagne and the smart card, Michelangelo and the Club Med, St. Augustine and Saint Laurent.”
