Criticism
Viktor Timofeev’s “Other Passengers”
Patrick Langley
Latvian National Museum of Art
Timofeev’s previous works are underpinned by an architectural sensibility in which built environments are mined for their psychological as much as formal qualities. The urban terrains depicted in his drawings, paintings, installations, and computer games are often futuristic, even utopian-seeming in their construction yet destabilized by eerie energies. Buildings multiply into irrational, hive-like spaces or are invaded by tentacular growths or ghostlike figures. This oneiric mood is here extended into the gallery, suggesting that, in this particular architecture, the viewer is the ghost. 
“On Education”
Hindley Wang
Amant
A psychoanalytic preoccupation with childhood and its traumas runs through an exhibition that attends to the “forms of violence—both real and symbolic—that are intrinsic to the process of being educated.” Heading through Ghislaine Leung’s baby gates to enter a show featuring works by thirty-five artists, the visitor encounters a life-size turquoise Cookie Monster with eyeballs askew and mouth wide. Stefan Tcherepnin’s Cadisyphos with Baggages (2019) is pulling a cardboard yellow school bus behind it, as if to satirize the futile horror of early schooling [...] The tone is set. 
Eltiqa’s “How to Work Together?”
Stephanie Bailey
Jameel Arts Centre
This meticulously organized assemblage of paintings, photographs, and studies tracks the story of an artist collective founded in Gaza City in 2000, which adopted the name Eltiqa—Arabic for “encounter” or “meeting”—in 2002. Curated by The Question of Funding, two parallel tracks are held together by a wooden scaffold system with display boards holding artworks alongside archive photos and numbered placards that trace Eltiqa’s evolution across time, highlighting the distinctive aesthetics of six core group members on the one hand, and their determination to support one another and their community through mutual aid on the other.
London Gallery Weekend
Orit Gat
Eleven years ago, Dan Fox wrote that “New York is a painting town,” that oil on canvas is the city’s “true love.” It was the time of zombie formalism, abstract paintings everywhere and a market voracious for more. What you saw in galleries matched what was selling in auction houses and it felt like the medium itself was bound to collectors’ whims. Now London, too, is a painting town. And yet, while a large majority of the exhibitions on view during London Gallery Weekend are focused on painting, some things have changed. Today’s paintings offer new ideas that feel contemporary even ...
Pierre Huyghe’s “Liminal”
Lukas Brasiskis
Leeum Museum of Art
In Huyghe’s world, the human is no longer the organizing center of knowledge. Paraphrasing Eugene Thacker, the monster no longer signifies a threat to be contained or a figure of liberation (as with Donna Haraway’s cyborg), but a symptom of epistemic rupture—an unraveling of the categories through which the world becomes intelligible. The exhibition thus does not propose a dystopian or utopian future; rather, it conveys the uncanny illegibility of a present that results from the non-reciprocal encounter between human cognition and computational logics. To convey the fragility of the human subject in a posthuman age, the exhibition expands cinematic principles—duration, ...
Gala Porras-Kim’s “The categorical bind”
Gabrielle Schwarz
Sprüth Magers
A commercial gallery might seem an unlikely context for the work of Gala Porras-Kim. Over the past decade, the artist has made her name as a practitioner of a particular kind of institutional critique: one that explores, and imagines alternative possibilities for, the relationships between museums and the objects in their collections. Her focus is not the art industry, with its rapid cycles of production and exchange, but rather those places that claim to act as more-or-less permanent stewards of historical and cultural artifacts. Often she works directly with the institutions themselves.
YAZ Publications
Pramodha Weerasekera
Sharjah Biennial
Zeynep Öz, one of the five curators of this year’s Sharjah Biennial, describes YAZ, the thirteen artists’ books that form part of her contribution to the exhibition, as “serious play.” Developed in collaboration with designer Okay Karadayılar, the books are individual and collective playgrounds in which sixty contributors experiment with the possibilities of the book form. These paperback pocketbooks each run to between 100 and 150 pages, follow a color scheme of white, purple, and mauve, and offer a platform for diverse reflections on the theme of home, memory, displacement, and technological change.
Hana Miletić’s “Desire Lines”
Chris Murtha
Magenta Plain
Although her practice is rooted in photography, Hana Miletić’s first solo exhibition in New York contains no images. Instead, the eight handwoven textiles adorning the walls of the gallery are convincing recreations of ad-hoc repairs and temporary structures the artist photographs as she traverses urban centers—in this case, the surrounding Chinatown neighborhood. Above the reception desk, for example, hangs a looped, twisted, and knotted necklace of woven caution tape that may prompt viewers to proceed with heightened awareness.
Nina Porter’s “My Proteins”
Maddie Hampton
Theta
Porter's attention to materiality carries over to the constellation of spherical wooden cameras dotting the floor at the back of the gallery. They have never been used, but are instead inscribed with a date in the future on which Porter, contractually, will fill the orb with photosensitive paper and make an image. In an almost perfect inverse of the images hanging on the gallery walls, the cameras promise a future human connection, so long, that is, as they are properly cared for. So long, that is, as both parties—artist and collector—are present to fulfill the contract, a fact that looms ...
