ArtDependence Magazine : Gerhard Richter. 100 Works for Berlin at Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin

"Gerhard Richter. 100 Works for Berlin” shows for the first time the long-term loan of the Gerhard Richter Kunststiftung to the Neue Nationalgalerie. The central work in the exhibition, held in the Grafisches Kabinett of the Neue Nationalgalerie, is the series “Birkenau” (2014), consisting of four large-format, abstract paintings. [...] There is also another large group of works from Richter’s striking series of overpainted photographs, in which he addresses the tension between photography and painting. The exhibition has been realised in close collaboration with the artist.

e-flux annoucements : Special reopening exhibition Before/After

It is with great pleasure that the Hiroshima City Museum of Contemporary Art presents Before/After, a special exhibition commemorating the completion of a major renovation project at the museum that was conducted over a period of some two years and three months. […] Through the artists’ keen eyes and historical perspectives, this exhibition will examine the before and after as well as the in-between and overlapping elements in a variety of subjects. By inviting a group of artists whose practices seemed well suited to inquiries of this kind, we have arrived at an exhibition combining works that were selected from the museum collection with new works that the artists made specifically for this occasion.

White Hot Magazine : William Kentridge: In Praise of Shadows at the Broad Museum, Los Angeles (by Peter Frank)

There is general consensus that South African multimedialist William Kentridge is one of the leading artists of our time. “Leading” can be one of those empty adjectives that seek to qualify art with quantified bluster; but not only does Kentridge in his intellectual, social, and technical ambition “lead” with aesthetic and extra-aesthetic substance, but he literally “leads” us into and through a world view of profound wonder and equally powerful witness.

BOMB : Chiharu Shiota Interviewed by Laura Bannister

In the early 2000s, Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota shot to fame for the labyrinthine installations she produces with colored wool, rope, and thread. These supersized, tangled spider webs swallow whole rooms and hold objects captive in midair. Knotted and twisted over multiple days with a team of assistants, her webs are both hopeful hallucinations—inferring the invisible connectivity that pervades all life on earth—and insuperable, brutal obstacles that force audiences to renegotiate how they move through space.

The Wire : Verse Affairs: Writing Kites From the Prison to the World (by Uttaran Das Gupta)

Faiz is one of the poets included in a new anthology For, In Your Tongue, I Cannot Fit: Encounters With Prison, edited by artist Shilpa Gupta and poet and journalist Salil Tripathi. The book is the textual avatar of an eponymous exhibition on which Gupta and Tripathi collaborated in 2017, in response to a growing atmosphere of intolerance in India, which, as we now know, was the first symptom of the country’s democratic backsliding.
