Thumbnail image for Artist Talk – Vija Celmins at the Menil

I thoroughly enjoyed Vija Celmin’s artist talk at the Menil last Friday. Celmins was joined by Menil curators Franklin Sirmans and Michelle White to lead a discussion about the latest exhibit at the Menil: Vija Celmins: Television and Disaster, 1964-66. I would have wanted to write about it earlier, while it was still fresh on [...]

12 of 13 in Notes on the body w/o organs

Sewing the body shut, as the paranoid body does, and flogging the body (attaching “waves of pain” to the body). This pain is [...]
