Communities of concern, Dora García at M HKA Antwerp

December 11, 2023/in Reviews, Autumn 2023_#Cycles, Exhibition Reviews

It is rare that an exhibition of contemporary visual art is so vigorously conceived as a reading exercise.[1] In Dora García’s She Has Many Names (M HKA Antwerp), curated by Joanna Zielińska, books are everywhere. Not only are writers such as James Joyce, Julio Cortázar, or Albert Camus subjects of García’s work, but writing and […]

Displacing as a method: On ‘Displacing Caravaggio’ and ‘Dance of Values’

December 11, 2020/in Autumn 2020_#Method, Book Reviews, Reviews

Two books with very different contents, languages, and structures published between 2018 and 2019 convey through their respective arguments how displacing might serve as a method for investigating new and heterodox forms of remediation and montage. Both books offer the possibility to cross new terrains of interdisciplinary migration, unexpected ‘adaptations’, and new ways of displacing […]

Pinpointing the ‘cinematic’ in twenty-first century art: ‘Dreamlands’ / ‘On Desire’

December 21, 2019/in Autumn 2019_#Gesture, Book Reviews, Reviews

As audiovisual practices become increasingly multiplied and complex − from the omnipresence of (multi-)screens to the overstimulation of digital technologies − art is more sociopolitically-oriented than ever and, conversely, society acquires an aestheticised bias. Cinema still plays an important role in the current media landscape, but it is increasingly pervaded by other art forms and […]

Form and feeling: Kinaesthetic Knowing / Artificial Darkness

November 23, 2018/in Autumn 2018_#Mapping, Book Reviews, Reviews

Formalism, as a term in the criticism of visual art, might be defined thus: as the conviction that forms contain their own syntax which acts on the spectator more or less directly. Further, the formalist maintains that experience of form is aesthetic experience; its effect is something called aesthetic emotion. And its opposite is not […]

Nothing Stable under Heaven at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art

November 23, 2018/in Autumn 2018_#Mapping, Exhibition Reviews, Reviews

At its best, it is carefully-constructed chaos. At its worst, it is equally chaotic but less carefully constructed. Nothing Stable under Heaven (https://www.sfmoma.org/exhibition/nothing-stable-under-heaven/) is an exhibition that bombards you from all angles as it forces you to juggle different and sometimes jumbled social issues and themes. Running at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art […]

Archives of the present − memory work in the making: ‘Transmission from the Liberated Zones’ (Filipa César, 2015)

May 28, 2017/in Exhibition Reviews, Reviews, Spring 2017_#True

National libraries, museums, and archives are potential sites for knowledge production and shared memory work, but they tend also to be monuments of state power, of selection and exclusion. Film and moving images have always played a formative role in cultural commemoration, and the resistance of cinematic counter-memories has also famously illuminated the critical potential […]
