newest is The Grid: Sacred and Secular at Solo. In Rosalind Krauss’s essay “Grids” (link is pdf) she argues that using a grid makes it possible for artists to produce very material objects and speak to the pure materiality of the work while at the same time implying a connection to ideas of spirit and “Being.” In Krauss’s argument, the grid makes a work “sacred and secular” at the same time.”

Leo Valledor and Zin Helena Song
Hyperallergic caught my eye with Leo’s work. The story of the Park Place Group is another wrinkle in the “primacy” of post-war New York… While some might think of Stella‘s (or Tony‘s) work, I’m more curious about how artists like Zin are taking this idiom forward.
