We don’t have a huge local art scene in Raleigh, so I’ve had the chance to meet Kelly and see her approach to teaching in a crit format. More and more.

Lynda Benglis
I’ve been a big fan of Lynda since discovering her poured work during my undergrad days. Seeing her work getting new juxtapositions inspired a revisiting of some like Contraband and Wing.
Richard Lippold
was part of the same cadre of queer creatives as Cy in the ’60s and had no small part to play in the story of Modernism himself.

Tony Cragg
Blogging about Kelly made me think of Tony’s sculptures from the late ’70s which were also collections of intensely chromatic objects, albeit found and usually on the floor. A little interneting shows he’s doing new things (4 decades later…).

Scott Albrecht
Juxtapoz has some images up of Scott’s work process for below as well as an interview.

Leo Amino
#hyperallergic covers a recent retro of this artist who was under appreciated in his time.

Leonardo Drew
I saw one at the Perez in Miami a few years ago and was blown away.

Katy Crowe and Coleen Sterrittn
I can see why Ron Linden paired Katy’s paintings and Coleen’s sculptures at Los Angeles Harbor College Fine Arts Gallery (as does Two Coats)- if meticulously flippant isn’t a phrase it should be.

Sarah Tortora
With their current round open for submissions I was looking through the website for the Hopper Prize and found this nice interview with Sarah on “the physicality of making sculpture, negotiating balance, creative catharsis & personal truth.” Links to her portfolio (not all of which is abstract/non-representational) and site in the article.

Ruth Asawa
“Asawa lived an extraordinary life independent of her incredible body of work. Her path was a series of trials overcome and small paradises found—from internment camps in America to, later, a creative coming-of-age at Black Mountain College and in San Francisco, where she lived until her death in 2013.
Her legacy of generosity and openness to the world continues to grow along with her reputation as an artist, which was underappreciated during her lifetime despite everyone from Josef Albers to Buckminster Fuller declaring her genius indisputable. But that has been changing, year by year—just a few weeks ago, the US Postal Service announced they would be featuring Asawa on a new stamp out this fall.”

Jane South
Full page add for the gem below in the April #ArtForum. Led me to look for more.
(spoiler- her other work is very different and just as awesome).

Carol Bove
Carol’s work at Biennale was some of my favorite- she now has a new monograph! Would love to see her and Anna collaborate!

Sanford Biggers
Biggers is at it again, merging formalism and Afrofuturism (“an aesthetic that imagines the future of Africa and the African diaspora by reassessing the past through science-fiction tropes.“).
