This month in Artforum:
Benjamin H. D. Buchloh on Lawrence Weiner (1942–2021)
“To differentiate Weiner’s writing decisively from poetry is still one of his work’s most bewildering challenges.” —Benjamin H. D. Buchloh
Martha Buskirk on the art of Gala Porras-Kim
“The artist’s engagement with institutions, if provocative, is not necessarily adversarial.” —Martha Buskirk
Dan Nadel on the art of Daniel Hesidence
“Hesidence’s techniques arise not only from a refusal of certainty but also from careful observation of paint phenomena and a dedication to making an unimpeachable surface.” —Dan Nadel
Kaelen Wilson-Goldie on Bassem Saad’s Congress of Idling Persons, 2021
“Saad locates the crucial pressure points affecting the flow of solidarity across different communities and art’s capacity to connect with viewers across different terrains.” —Kaelen Wilson-Goldie
And: Stephanie LaCava on Nora Turato, Alex Kitnick on Jason Hirata, Domenick Ammirati on Isolarii, Jeffrey Weiss on Bruce Nauman’s His Mark, Paul Galvez on James Ensor, Caroline Lillian Schopp on Günter Brus and Alfons Schilling, Nora N.
