Isamu Noguchi

has his own museum; opened in ’85 by Isamu (1904–1988), it was the first museum in the United States to be established, designed, and installed by a living artist to show their own work. Located in Long Island City, Queens, the Museum itself is widely viewed as among the artist’s greatest achievements.

Vincent Fecteau

is known for making small, bracingly private constructions out of foamcore and collage elements. As much as his inventions, through maquette-like scale and goofily specific found photos (of towels, toilet-paper holders), investigate the sculptural possibilities and erotic atmospherics of decor, the glue that holds Fecteau’s artless-seeming oeuvre together is a quirky querying of what art is and what it does—of how and why and if art differs from craft. (Bruce Hainley at Artforum is referring above to his work at greengrassi; the artist makes his own statements as well in the article).

Cindy Morefield

I don’t know most or even many of the artists I post about personally. I’m fortunate Cindy is an exception. Many of you who are #ncartists probably saw some of her rubbings at Greenhill recently- it’s the body of work she’s focused on since I’ve known her and they are subtle, intentional Modernism at it’s best. We’ve also done an IG live artist chat if any of you think you can listen to me talk for an hour…
