This is exciting.
And a day at the Whitney is due:
Robert Smithson
on view June 23 – October 23, 2005
Emily Fisher Landau Galleries, Floor 4
Robert Smithson was one of the key figures in American art of the 1970s. Best known for his iconic earthwork Spiral Jetty (1970), his use of mirrors, earth, maps, asphalt, rocks, photography, and film helped to redefine the parameters of sculpture, and his writings have influenced generations of younger artists. This retrospective brings together his sculptures, photographs, films, and earthworks, as well as a largely unknown group of paintings and drawings from 1957 to 1963, providing an opportunity to revisit a career cut short by his death in a plane crash in 1973.
The Catalogue: By Eugenie Tsai with Cornelia Butler. Additional essay by Thomas Crow, with texts by Alexander Alberro, Suzaan Boettger, Mark Linder, Ann Reynolds, Jennifer L. Roberts, Richard Sieburth, and Robert A. Sobieszek, and an interview with the artist by Moira Roth. $35/ $28 member price.
Robert Smithson was organized by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Also at the Whitney:
Remote Viewing (Invented Worlds in Recent Painting and Drawing)
on view June 2 – October 9, 2005
Peter Norton Family Galleries, Floor 3
A major overview of recent abstract paintings and drawings that explore themes of virtual reality, the deep unconscious, nomadic travels, and public space. Created by an international and intergenerational group of artists—Franz Ackermann, Steve DiBenedetto, Carroll Dunham, Ati Maier, Julie Mehretu, Matthew Ritchie, Alexander Ross, and Terry Winters—these new works embrace both an analytic and poetic approach to visual stimuli. The exhibition catalogue includes essays by Elisabeth Sussman, Caroline A. Jones, Katy Siegel, and fiction by Ben Marcus.
And incase you missed it last summer and were interested, Janet Cardiff in CP is on again thru September, thanks to the Public Art Fund:
