This month in Artforum:

“Event Scores”: In his final interview, multidisciplinary artist Terry Adkins, who passed away unexpectedly as our March issue went to press, talked with composer and computer-music pioneer George Lewis about performance, improvisation, history, race, and sensation:

“The Mars rover is my model of what I want to make as an interactive artist—an improvising machine that you set down on the surface of a hostile planet, where it makes its own way.”
–George Lewis

“I try to make sculpture that is as ephemeral and transient as music is.”
–Terry Adkins

Daniela Stöppel on the art of Lucie Stahl:

“Stahl’s work points to the liquid magic, the near-enchanted malleability, of processes of visual representation today.” 
–Daniela Stöppel

Sarah Nicole Prickett onLars von Trier‘s Nymphomaniac:

“Charlotte Gainsbourg, too jolie laide to be uglified, is the first actor von Trier has found who gets hotter in the face of abasement.” 
–Sarah Nicole Prickett

Manuel Borja-Villelon T. J. Clark‘s latest tome, Picasso and Truth:

“For Clark, Guernica sums up the tension between the private space of the bourgeoisie and the public space of the new mass society.”
–Manuel Borja-Villel

Close-up:Tony Pipolo plumbs the family psychodynamics of Stan Brakhage‘s Tortured Dust (1984):

“The tensions that afflicted Brakhage while making Tortured Dust suggest he was struggling toward finding a way of revealing unpleasant things about himself to those he loved.”
–Tony Pipolo
