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.

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.

Ann Cathrin November Høibo
Was reading the print edition of Artforum when the image below grabbed me. Which lead to reading this interesting interview about the themes that- like the disparate materials she uses- are woven, literally, into her work.

Kevin Finklea
Kevin, like me, has made objects and paintings and despite appearances has no interest in geometry as a topic or content.
The link above is from #Geoform, an online scholarly resource, international forum, and curatorial project of #juliekarabenick that focuses on the use of geometric form and structure in contemporary abstract art.

Bill Brown
Joelle Dietrick
has a nice piece in the #northcarolinaartistsexhibition at #CAMRaleigh. Clearly not all of her work is non-representational- I appreciate the way her work that is leverages an aesthetic borrowed from graphic design to create an intense relationship with viewers.
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.”

Chris Domenick
Tony Bluestone says some nice words on #twocoatsofpaint about Chris’s facility with edge and surface.

Tahiti Pehrson
Kind of hard not to be mesmerized by these- picture below with a human for scale. And he makes cool videos so you can make your own!

Carlos Cruz-Diez
I felt like I’d seen Carlos’s work before seeing the first piece below in #surmoderno. A little internet searching turned up some things that… yeah, I’m sure I’ve seen these in popular culture, definitely the ones in Houston. His work focused (he’s no longer with us) on the kinetic energy of color particularly the #moiré effect.

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).
