(a few months ago) Jennifer Dudley at Burnaway had some words about Joy’s approach to (what I will call) the architecture of information. If you like the pieces you should also check out Travis and Stanley if you haven’t already. Below is not the work addressed in the article btw ( more here).

Danielle at Artsy ranks the 10 best public art works installed in 2025 (international version in case you were wondering) and points at Shaikha’s Deliberate Pauses. Mazrou’s practice is anchored in history of art, borrowing formally from minimalism and intellectually from conceptual art. Influenced by artists from the Modernist and Bauhaus Movements – such as Paul Klee, Carle Andre and Wassily Kandinsky – Al Mazrou uses the formal aspects of minimalism to engage in a current fascination with materiality in art.

I’m sure you’ve read about the Cloud Dancer controversy (maybe you’ve seen it framed as a dog whistle to our current, white nationalist administration). As usual I’ll note that two things can both be true- Pantone can be not-ill intentioned and tone deaf. All I see is editors and marketing folks (on all sides) who want clicks and likes but maybe that’s just me. And…
White and white-adjacent hues in the context of Art make me think of Robert. I initially blogged about him with the news that Ryman had passed, and took a little time to reflect on my reactions to his work over the years. This interview from 2007 is helpful. I also made a Pinterest gallery of some of his work.
Here’s an early work from right around the time he really found his voice (’62). Thanks for helping me learn to see Mr Ryman!

I first wrote about Timothy when BmoreArt noted the “systematic rigor” in States of Mind in 2021.
Updating the blog as he recently passed. If you have a moment and need some sad but uplifting prose read Cara Ober’s homage to this artist and teacher.

Michael Brennan notes in Two Coats concurrent exhibitions up now – one at Mario Diacono Gallery in Boston, the other at Ghostmachine in New York – of Jodie Manasevit’s “fine, fierce paintings,” paying particular attention to the environments in which curator David Dixon sites them.

Doug Milford at Two Coats sez “good art can have multiple sources of meaning” that “may or may not be apparent or even deliberate, but they make up the work’s internal structure and shape its style.” Claudia’s work (below) is engaged with and by some diverse material which no doubt inspired such solid prose.

ML Fine Art recently presented (posthumously) ‘Basically White‘ which was the first UK exhibition of works by Angelo Savelli. The exhibition focused on Savelli’s contribution to European and American modern art stretching a connection to other of his contemporaries. Eleven seminal paintings were shown alongside pieces by contemporaries such as Robert Ryman.

“Involuntary Photographs,” emerged over the past five years and involves “a different mode of seeing.” That is, the results of unintended taps and stray gestures on his mobile device. Or, perhaps, the device’s own autonomous “dreaming”:
“Without traditional framing or subject matter, the resulting photographs form soft abstractions of light, texture, and motion, resembling Color Field paintings more than conventional documentary images. They exist in a liminal space between conscious creation and mechanical observation—photography without a photographer, vision without deliberate intention.”
Based in Athens, Vasilikos is deeply influenced by Eastern mysticism and drawn to the meditative and transcendental dimensions of image-making.

recent sculptural work advances concerns of gravity, mechanics, flexibility, structure, and form that have motivated him since the early stages of his career, given inspiration from 19th century mechanical systems, toys from his childhood, Latin American 20th Century non-objective art, and late modernist cubic sculptures.
