We have redesigned Art-Agenda’s website, featuring a new review layout, larger images, and a comments feature. We hope you enjoy it. Our first comment sees curator Adriano Pedrosa respond to Adam Kleinman’s review of Zona Maco Sur, Pedrosa’s curated section at the recent art fair Zona Maco, Mexico. Enjoy exploring the new site and feel free to note your thoughts on any of our past reviews, including the most recent texts noted below.New reviews on the way focus on the solo show, of both established artists and those in the beginning stages of their careers: Colin Chinnery on Liu Wei at the Minsheng Art Museum, Beijing; Filipa Ramos on Neil Beloufa at Galleria Zero, Milan; Michelle Grabner on Rinus Van de Velde’s “Dear David Johnson” at moniquemeloche, Chicago; and Tyler Coburn, on Walead Beshty at Regan Projects, LA. This month also sees the spotlight on two new curatorial collaborations in New York, with Karen Archey reporting on Mario Garcia Torres’s “Cover Letter” presented by the intriguing partnership of Rose Lord and Mari Spirito and Antek Walczak on Murray Guy’s “Vision is elastic. Thought is elastic” curated by Moyra Davey and Zoe Leonard.
