Art

Just noting down for my own memory some good artwork that I saw (largely in Sydney, at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s The Hours exhibition), before I forget it: Matthew Ngui’s work, in general Nell, “Unlimited Radiance” - that pic doesn’t do justice to the qualities of this work (I’m not sure any pic can), which shimmies and sparkles Mathew Jones, “The New York Daily News on the day before the Stonewall Riot copied by hand from microfilm records”, 1996 (Link) Vik Muniz, “I Am What I Read”, “Che (Black Bean Soup)” Betsabee Romero, “Requiem for the Unknown Pedestrian II” - tires engraved with musical notes to create a kind of sheet-music print Los Carpinteros, “Downtown (Centro)” - furniture as landscape Nicola Constantino, the Human Furriery series - items covered in silicone nipples and anuses - the NY Times called it “sensationally tasteless”. Santiago Sierra, “465 personas remuneradas”, 1999 Nadin Ospina, Disney characters as fake Pre-Columbian art And something whose name I can’t remember, but involved boomerangs with Spanish expletives carved into them (I think).
