Good times at @bookforum this month. ⁠ ⁠ Can't do much better than this review of @salman.toor 'No Ordinary Love' from @gregoryrmiller & @baltimoremuseumofart⁠ ⁠ "Echoing the murky sheen of sidewalk puddles, Salman Toor’s paintings revel in the absinthe-green palette of inebriation and hallucination. His compositions whisper of the dark delights of unlit alleyways, of clandestine trysts in the garden, or the unexpected thwack of a cricket bat against a stranger’s skull. Desire seeps through his canvases like spilled wine, but it’s the kind of longing laced through with recalcitrance, that sour taste in the mouth after a middling kiss." —Kate Sutton⁠ ⁠ Then again: "Published on the occasion of the 2021 retrospective, 'João Maria Gusmão + @pedrocabritapaiva : Terçolho' from @moussemagazine lets readers into the pair’s proverbial kitchen, assembling the odds, ends, and images that have fueled their aesthetic flirtations with the psychological, the parascientific, the paranormal, and—to quote the artists—'abyssological.' Predating the visual hijinks of TikTok, Gusmão and Paiva’s films adhere to explicitly analog technologies, testing the limits of what can be recorded." —Kate Sutton⁠ ⁠ And a personal favorite: "The late artist Jack Whitten told a studio visitor: 'The old symbols that we had from previous established religion, they’re not workable anymore for this society. We have to invent new symbols.' New symbols, new techniques, and new tools—what Whitten needed didn’t exist, so he had to devise it. He might slice tesserae out of thick paint and tile the squares like a mosaic or drag a self-fashioned twelve-foot rake through a wet painted surface. No standard monograph could quite hold Whitten’s artistic imagining, so 'Jack Whitten: Cosmic Soul' by Richard Shiff from @hauserwirth reimagines the art book as something that feels improvisatory and free, letting Whitten’s six decades of art roam aside commentary that keeps up rather than corrals." — @sonomar⁠ ⁠ Read the full reviews via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #bookforum #artfulvolumes #salmantoor #noordinarylove #joaomariagusmao #pedrocabritapaiva #jackwhitten #jackwhittencosmicsoul #cosmicsoul⁠ ⁠ ⁠ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl6rcRcOY8K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
