Colossal notes Eliasson’s new installation in downtown Chicago which appealed to me for what I think are obvious reasons.
More on Olafur who has a wide ranging voice and concept-heavy impulse as a creator.

Lydia Okumura
Lydia has been a fav for a while. I’ve thought of her as related to Light and Space with work like below, and much of her work is also minimalist as Sophie Haigney at Artsy notes when calling our attention to the rich history of women artists whose work is of this modality.

Ross Manning
Artforum wrote some words about a survey of this significant Aussie’s which inspired me to learn more about the work he does which is as much about sound as visual experiences.

Maya Freelon
If you didn’t know of Maya already “yes” Triangle legends Nnenna and Phil Freelon are her parents (her brother is no slouch either). Walter gives her upcoming show at CAM Raleigh a shout out.

Kelly Sheppard Murray
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.

Polly Apfelbaum
Polly was one of the hits I remember from Abstract Painting, Once Removed. Her work is literally removed from the constraint of a traditional, rectangular canvas (like Rhia and Meg). Image below is from that time frame.
More (her work has moved back onto the wall as she explores new iconography)

Kapwani Kiwanga
like Myra and Torkwase and Kevin is creating a system of related formal elements that also refer to socio/economic relations between elements in American life.

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

Torkwase Dyson
has new work up at NOMA (through the end of the year) that examines the legacy of plantation economies and their relationship to the environmental and infrastructural issues of our current age.

Nanda Vigo
Nanda gets a shout out from Artforum (unfortunately because her six decade career as a conceptual and installation artist came to and end this month).

Candida Alvarez
Artsy notes Candida’s newest work, which has left the wall- like Lien she is a Joan Mitchell foundation alumn.
