“Sander’s works are always self-portraits—they’re just not of the artist herself.”
–Benjamin Paul
In the Realm of the Senses: James Quandt on the films of Lucrecia Martel
“Martel’s cinema accumulates a drastic catalogue of memento mori.”
–James Quandt

Smith, Malik Gaines on Julius Eastman, Mara Hoberman on Caroline Mesquita, Ciarán Finlayson on Paul Maheke, Jennifer Krasinski on Adrienne Kennedy’s He Brought Her Heart Back in a Box, and Kaitlin Phillips on The Rhonda Lieberman Reader.
