Check out my latest dispatch for info about my work and also other people’s work that I’m excited about these days….
Very excited to be in conversation with a scholar I really admire, Japonica Brown-Saracino, about her latest book (a fascinating read for anyone interested not just in neighborhood change but also how ideas move through and are shaped by their usage in the wider culture). 6pm Feb 11 at MoRUS.
New review up Hyperallergic - this one for the mid-career retrospective of work by Liz Collins now up at the RISD Museum - fashion and tapestry and needlepoint and more…
Coco Fusco’s performances borrow from institutional procedures: She recreates military drills and enrolls in an immersive simulation and workshop on military interrogation, dissecting the grammar of disciplinary systems.
Reading the latest book by @alisonbechdel.bsky.social I couldn’t help but think of those I know who have achieved a lot of success but still find themselves struggling financially and wondering how to move forward. So, like I do, I wrote an essay about it for @lareviewofbooks.bsky.social
The entrepreneurs who are part of the booming school safety industry face a cruel irony: they are dependent on the uniquely American epidemic of school shootings.
Even though this show is a retrospective of 40 years of work, I felt like it spoke to this moment of AI-generated attempts to claim political power. I also really appreciated one of Douglas’s interest in improvisatory potential. There’s not a ton of time left to see this show but it’s a good one.
This was a really well put together show - kudos to the curators, Anjuli Nanda Diamond and George Bolster. Was glad to spend some extra time with it and to write about it for @hyperallergic.com
"You kill people and break things for a living."
--Pete Hegseth, giving very eloquent instructions to military generals flown in for this momentous occasion
While I was in Atlanta for the Art Papers symposium, I also stopped in to the #AtlantaArtFair, which was different in many ways from other art fairs I’ve attended before. You can read my coverage below.
Mermaids, selkies, enormous man-eating mollusk shells, and lesbians - oh my! Had fun going down into the femme maelstrom for this one about the show currently up the Alice Austen Museum. Read it @hyperallergic.com
These photos have been making their way into the culture for a couple of decades now. There’s so much to say about them, but I shared some thoughts @hyperallergic.com - hyperallergic.com/1033022/casa...
Was great to get to spend some time this spring biking around a little bit of Brooklyn to check out water system sites with Stanley Greenberg and to visit his studio for this conversation, now up @hyperallergic.com hyperallergic.com/1032599/phot...
Five copies, starting with the queer issue, WE WILL NOT BE ERASED in bold letters across a rainbow and trans flag, next to an issue with UPRISING in red: Remembering Freddie Gray Ten Years After the Uprising, and three more featuring color photos and text not as visible in this photo
An embarrassment of riches! Yes, thanks to @rahnealexander.com for sending these five magnificent issues of @baltimorebeat.bsky.social cross-country so I could devour them in Seattle, hooray for Baltimore's newish alt-weekly, Black-led and controlled, and free for all, to more!💖🌠
The United States hasn’t always gone by America. That name rose to its current ubiquity only in the 20th century. It did so in response to the United States becoming an empire.
Super excited to share that my documentary film about queer and trans spaces and communities is now available to stream worldwide, with captions/subtitles in 6 languages. Excited this film keeps making its way in the world a few years after it premiered. vimeo.com/ondemand/all...
Mushrooms, a scientist who wasn’t really known in her day but managed to root herself in the field, and debating metaphors… It was inevitable that I would want to write about this fascinating little exhibit now up at the NY State Museum in Albany. Up @hyperallergic.com
BY THE WAY, YOU WANT TO FOLLOW THE RESIST LIST.
Was stewing on this for a couple of weeks and decided to just write it down and share it. Just shaking my head over here…
Looking out on the world this summer with my dyke gaze…
@hyperallergic.com
In which I get to write about #PhyllisBirkby #JuneJordan and some excellent contemporary art… now up @hyperallergic.com
I got such an ick walking through this show, for even more reasons than I had the word count to write about, but here are the main points up @hyperallergic.com
Upcoming screening of my film in Athens, Greece. Fuck Drumpf's attempts to ban "sense of belonging" - I've now got subtitles/captions available in 6 languages. Reach out if you know of a group that might wanna screen it.
Loved having an excuse to bring up the Lesbian Herstory Archives and Audre Lorde in my little contribution to this…
Was invited by Dear Dave Magazine to write about the photo show “Hard Times are Fighting Times” by Alice Proujansky. Feels like an apropos moment to be thinking about the full complexity of the lives of leftist political activists across decades. deardavemagazine.com/deardaverevi...
I’ve long admired and learned from the work of the #GuerillaGirls, but looking at the current exhibition up here in NYC, I couldn’t help but wonder how these same tactics might or might not work in the moment we find ourselves in now. Read the full review @hyperallergic.com
Feels right to be wondering how to be better with each other, not just as lovers but also friends and other kinds of intimates. We need each other, now more than ever.
