It's Printed Matter's New York Art Book Fair this weekend, so I've decided to publish a new project, Untitled (Grave Matters), which is a set of screenshots of art historian Anna C. Chave's devastating lecture on Carl Andre, which she delivered at the symposium linked to Dia's 2014 Andre retrospective.

Though she discussed them at length, Andre refused to let Chave publish images of two macabre works he made after he was acquitted for the murder of his wife Ana Mendieta. Untitled (Grave Matters) fixes that.

During NYABF, drop me an email, and I'll send you a signed and stamped edition. After that, we'll see.

Last year the Museum of Vancouver had a retrospective of artist Tobias Wong's work, and they got the OK to make their own exhibition copies of Wong's Glass Chairs No. 1 & 2 (2002). Which the rest of this blog post is not necessarily suggesting you do, but the measurements and specs are there, and also the UV glue glass bonding Youtube tutorial.

I srsly spend 27 years trying to figure out what was up with the FREE TIBET carpet edition mentioned in the Non-Works section of the Felix Gonzalez-Torres catalogue raisonné, only to discover that it was tiger-striped and exhibited in Cologne in 1992, and now it's just hanging out on some Squarespace?

I feel like I learned a lot from the pile of Theaster Gates interviews, talks, and articles I just went through. Mostly it's about his experience as a Black potter, and his engagement with Japanese pottery traditions. Also the work of Dave Drake, a 19th c potter who incised his name and poems on the pots he made while and after being enslaved in South Carolina. Making something good from complicated things is a useful skill. Gates just opened an exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.

TWO HOURS AGO: an incredible photo taken by a ut austin student capturing something deeply poetic in my opinion, a line of state troopers eagerly waiting to arrest student protesters standing just behind a sign that reads "what starts here changes the world. its starts with you and what you do each day."

TFW there are so many copyright infringement lawsuits against Richard Prince you lose track of one for 8yrs. In 2016 the photographer of this Sid Vicious portrait sued Prince for using an autographed 8x10 of it in this work. [The case was soon withdrawn because lmao]
