Modular Abstraction: A Q&A with Judy Rushin



Modular Abstraction: A Q&A with Judy Rushin on the New American Paintings/Blog

Art for the female expat: "site-specific works that can travel well"...[and]..."reflect our own untethered geographies."

World's Narrowest House


Keret House

World's Narrowest House by Jakub Szczesny

"The house is located between two buildings from two historical epochs. “The first is a brick building on Zelazna Street – a fragment of the pre-world war II city, almost no longer existing. The second – a cooperative concrete apartment building, an element of an “imposed structure”, which was aimed at negating the previous city landscape."

Reverence, citation, mimicry, the absence of the hand, and a destructive impulse — all familiar postmodern positions — coexist in Guyton’s inkjet paintings...his incredibly productive lack of creativity fits right into the by now familiar and even petrified art historical narrative that claims that de-skilling, appropriation, and post-Duchampian/post-studio practice are the only games in town, that everything else is a failure not worth considering.
