Anicka Yi: Multi-Course Small Plates, Craft Lofts, Prix Fixe
“Saline lingers, as a vapour. When I sleep, my left ear is always parching, so dry and thirsty.” Award-winning fiction writer Joanna Ruocco responds to the work of Anicka Yi, recipient of the 2017 Hugo Boss Prize and the current subject of a solo show at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
Get Real: Susanne von Falkenhausen
“Art should not be incarcerated by the grandiose pretensions of curatorial mission statements laying claim to the political and moral avant-garde.” Leading art historian and academic Susanne von Falkenhausen explores the claims to “authenticity” and social relevance being made within large-scale exhibitions such as documenta 14.
