Prospect by Cara Despain

It’s quite a thing to see the sea meet the sky: two profoundly different systems converging at a single line. With nothing but water and atmosphere, this seems the true way to understand the planet’s shape—after all, its surface is comprised mostly of these materials. Read More

Topical Topography: A Journey from the Permian Basin to the Prius by David Brooks

Imagine yourself in Central Park one million years ago. You would be standing on a vast ice sheet, a 4,000-mile glacial wall, as much as 2,000 feet thick. Alone on the vast glacier, you would not sense its slow crushing, scraping, ripping movement as it advanced south, leaving great masses of rock debris in its wake. Read More

Regarding the View: Awe and Apprehension Encountered in Land Art Deserts by Hikmet Sidney Loe

In anticipation of visiting Michael Heizer’s 1969 earthwork “Double Negative” for the first time, I have done my research. The work is located on the Mormon Mesa north of Las Vegas near Overton, Nevada in a region that appears on Google Earth as an expansive, barren tabletop of red clay earth that falls away in the east into the Virgin River Valley (fig.

Xaviera Simmons and Cara Despain in Conversation by Cara Despain

Xaviera Simmons’ work is an open read of simultaneous histories embedded in different landscapes that are often presented as layered characters, texts, or moods. I was interested in the way her perspective might fit into this journal, as she constructs and utilizes landscape as well as its social dimensions to create her own topographies. Read More

Q Audience Question

 

AH

The title for this panel was purposely kept a little bit vague: “models, modes, possibilities, and then there is education.” It was kept vague, I think, because the hope is that with such an illustrious group of people here we would be able to discuss more abstract ideas, rather than a series of presentations that list the various projects or exhibitions that each panelist has done in the past.

DiA 2014: Transforming New York Street Objects OPEN CALL

What if we could look at the most mundane elements of our daily lives through an artist’s lens?  What if we could transform these everyday manufactured objects into something remarkably different even for a brief moment? Read More

The quotes do not fit together seamlessly – they are akin to scraps of fabric that have not been sewn, floating near each other in time and space. Unlike their material friends, they reveal distinct opinions on matter and movement. Read More

6.18.13 Interview with Dean Dempsey at his studio on Orchard Street, New York City by Lisa A. Banner

Lisa A. Banner: Dean, you have a unique aesthetic language that you explore through photographs in series, and in installations. At times you carefully construct tableaus, and take a photograph, sometimes showing the artifice and sometimes not, often using yourself as subject or object in a tableau. Read More

Alternative Education on the Radio: In Miami and Beyond by Amanda Sanfilippo

For the past 15 months, I have been engaged in organizing discursive structures, specifically programming and moderating open format discussions on topics in contemporary art. The sessions were fed by my own earnest interest in the subject matter and inclination towards open discussion over the more didactic structure of a lecture or panel. Read More

AMANDA SANFILIPPO: How did your work with radio begin?

AGUSTINA WOODGATE: “Radio Espacio Estacion (REE)” began with a 2011 grant from NALAC. I wanted to do a pirate radio. I was inspired by the movie “The Boat that Rocks” and also being in Miami with the connections here to pirate radio. Read More
