Carmen Anzano

Carmen sees the world “as ‘shapes and threads’, elements from which she continues to weave new shapes and emotions. She interlaces string, thread and ribbon to generate surfaces with which she articulates spaces and configures a cosmos of lines and dynamic tensions. These lineal frameworks dominate together with a colour scheme at times vivid, intense and energetic, at others harmonious, subtle and mysterious.“

Tauba Auerbach

In Artforum’s November issue, “Tauba Medium,” an essay by Caroline A. Jones, heralds the opening of “S v Z,” the artist’s exhibition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, on view from December 18, 2021 to May 1, 2022.“Meaning in written language is not only content but gesture,” Tauba Auerbach observes in this 2010 rumination on style and handwriting.

Otto Zitko

For an artist whose bright oil stick lines often explode, uncontained, across the walls and ceilings of galleries, it feels fitting for this moment—one of physical distance, meditation, and uncertainty—that the works in Otto Zitko’s exhibition “In Times Like These” are anxiously restrained to canvas size…

Brett Baker

Is in Front Burner along with George and Ashlynn and Barbara and Donald

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.

Etel Adnan

Like Suzanne, Etel probably doesn’t consider herself a formalist. The textual richness of her subject is belied by the image in the article above so see more…

Melissa Meyer

Is a “third generation” abstract expressionist

Martina Nehrling and Gunther Forg

One of the most compelling facets of abstract painting for me are formally similar but conceptually dissimilar works. Martina paints an urban energy where Gunther seeks to emote the experience of being a German.

Donald Judd

The feature image for this Artforum announcement caught my eye since it’s new to me, although I’m familiar with Judd’s 2D work. I am inspired to spend some time reading this week some of what Judd “wrote extensively on the importance of land preservation, empirical knowledge, and engaged citizenship.”

Oscar Murillo

I’ve told you all repeatedly to read Hyperallergic on the reg- see why?

Ilana Zweschi

Hashtags plus IG is a fun way to meet new work (new to me- if you’re hip to these already, you know what’s up).

Kathryn McNaughton

I’ve followed Kathryn on IG for a while (I’m not alone with 39k follows)- she’s shown with Heather Day and recently made below as part of a residency at Pada Studios.
