October in Artforum: In this month's cover story, Tom Holert
explores the
multifaceted work of Cologne-based artist Kai Althoff. "Althoff is
everywhere and nowhere, speaking in tongues, drawing as if he were
someone
else, as if the other invented (dreamed?) person had taken control of
him.
Figures he has created in his paintings may later appear outside the
image, incarnated by the artist himself."
Also in October: As a twenty-year survey of Carroll Dunham's work goes
on
view at New York's New Museum of Contemporary Art, the artist juxtaposes
eccentric abstractionists, forgotten informel painters, cartoon
favorites,
and more in this month's Artists Curate. Dunham: "Mostly it's about
putting myself in the middle of this bunch of things that either once
did
or now do help me think about what I do."
Lisa Liebmann follows Nan Goldin's retrospective as the six-venue tour
nears its close: "Goldin's human subjects have always been willing
collaborators in the process of their own creation. They have at times
also betrayed self-conscious foreboding and self-historicizing intent.
Over the past few years, however, many seem more nearly to have become
actors outright, cast in some auteurish version of their own life."
Painter's painter Blinky Palermo is remembered by historian Christine
Mehring on the occasion of the German artist's Barcelona retrospective.
"It's too bad the Blinky Palermo exhibition won't be traveling to the
United States. Four Palermo retrospectives have toured European cities
since 1980, and none of them has made it to the artist's beloved
America.
Palermo had moved to New York in 1973, but unfortunately, most of his
work
has somehow been left behind."
Plus: Linda Benglis's First Break, A Thousand Words from Santiago
Sierra,
Rhonda Lieberman on Derrida the movie, Glenn O'Brien on painter
and album
cover illustrator Mati Klarwein, Ronald Jones, Roe Ethridge, Adrian
Piper,
over 30 reviews from 20 cities worldwide, and more.
