This month in Artforum:
Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer on the art of Tala Madani
“Looking at her paintings can be nauseating and breathtaking at once. She bludgeons her way to the sublime.”
Solomon Adler on Martin Wong’s Eureka years
“Eureka epitomized for Wong a national condition of erosion—a condition to which many of his works were ultimately fated.”
Lila Lee-Morrison on Kids and the surplus of the image
“The experience of being turned into an image, into something imagined through Larry Clark’s artistic vision, intervened in my life as both a record and a projection.”
John Belknap introduces a portfolio by Jimmy DeSana and Terence Sellers
“In print for the first time are inspired scenes of bondage, discipline, dominance, and subjection from DeSana’s 1978 series “The Dungeon”—early works from a brilliant and still undersung artist.”
And: David Rimanelli on Jannis Kounellis’s “blocked door” series, Yve Laris Cohen talks about Studio/Theater, Amy Taubin on Nanny and Saint Omer, Colby Chamberlain on the FRONT Triennial, Ina Blom on Pierre Huyghe’s Variants, John Ganz on Casa Malaparte: Furniture, Amin Alsaden on Ruovttu Guvlui/Towards Home, and Kay Gabriel shares her Top Ten.
Plus: Joni Low on Ken Lum and more than thirty-five exhibition reviews from around the globe.
