"I want to refuse modes of interpretation that are ultimately aimed at putting the art object to work."

Peter Schjeldahl would have been 82 years old today and I so miss hearing him discourse on Velasquez and his other art passions.

“Speeding through a long history at a high velocity, the book makes vivid how the ‘Village Voice’ held power accountable for its inevitable corruptions and how effective it was at changing New York politics.”—@prettymetals on “The Freaks Came Out to Write” 4columns.org/krasinski-jenni…

"We know that we don’t know, and by seizing elision rather than suffering from it, we access a space in which to conceive as-yet-untold possibilities for the future."

“Carson perfectly captures the chop of thought in sentences that peak, foam, and break, each in their own time.”

“The exhibition presents a continuously flourishing lineage—perhaps even call it a birthright—of artistic self-possession and resistance.”—@prettymetals reviews “Indian Theater: Native Performance, Art, and Self-Determination since 1969,” from the archive 4columns.org/krasinski-jenni…

Nothing but admiration and respect for @jazzedloon and @jamiekeiles, whose decision to sign the @wawog_now letter was consistent with who they are as people *and* as magazine writers:
In their first broadcast interview since being forced out of @NYTmag for signing an open letter condemning Israel's siege on Gaza, award-winning writers @jazzedloon and @jamiekeiles speak out about their decisions to leave the publication.

When I was proudest to be part of Columbia: the 1985 blockade that resulted in divestment from apartheid. Outrageous that Columbia has banned @ColumbiaSJP & @jvpliveNY . May the time between institutional intransigence & justice be brief.

The Artforum boycott appears to be widening as more than 300 sign a letter to also stop working with other Penske publications like ARTnews and Art in America.
"We want independent forums for art," the letter says.

Artforum should have re-published this memorial which is as newsworthy as the shoddy letter that caused the firing of David Velasco, a great editor, and the resignation of its best staff. Who wins? Russia, Iran

Yesterday I resigned as a senior editor of Artforum.com. The firing of David Velasco violates everything I had cherished about the magazine and makes my work there untenable. I’m devastated by this outcome and will deeply miss my talented colleagues and contributors.
Jennifer Krasinski retweeted
I have officially resigned as editor at Artforum. I am absolutely gutted, but also proud of all that we were able to pull off these past five years and extremely grateful our colleagues and contributors.
Jennifer Krasinski retweeted
I’ve resigned as senior editor of Artforum dot com. David Velasco’s firing is unacceptable and bodes ominously for the future of the magazine. I’m sad it’s come to this but deeply grateful for the extraordinary writers, artists & colleagues I’ve worked with over the past 6 years.

“Her work never stoops to ‘be,’ exactly, embracing instead a ‘yes, and’ approach to form that bucks narrative and leaves viewers in an intoxicating state of semiotic limbo.”—@prettymetals reviews an exhibition of new works by Helen Marten @greenenaftali 4columns.org/krasinski-jenni…

OUT NOW: @hermionehoby on “Vengeance is Mine” by Marie NDiaye, @prettymetals on Helen Marten @greenenaftali, @MelissEAnderson on Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall,” & Ania Szremski on Rosemary Tonks’s 1972 novel “The Halt during the Chase” @NewDirections 4columns.org

“Certain artworks address how Native culture sometimes resists, other times acquiesces to, capitalism’s allure. Kent Monkman’s ‘Louis Vuitton Quiver’ is for hunters who want to keep their arrows sharp while looking chic.”—@prettymetals on “Indian Theater” 4columns.org/krasinski-jenni…
