From the Artnews article, the partial list of names includes…”Joan Jonas, the video-art pioneer who is set to have a Tate Modern retrospective next year, will create a new piece with the Vietnamese collective Art Labor. Work by the young Kenyan photographer Mimi Cherono Ng’ok and the 92-year-old Pittsburgh-based sculptor Thaddeus Mosley will also be on view.”
Have you heard of Drip?
It’s from Kickstarter, and I guess the metaphor is a (continuing) drip of water, only refreshing and not annoying. It’s a new website for creatives to get sustaining support. Check it out!
Nice story about Kehinde Wiley, official portrait painter of the official Smithsonian portrait of President Obama, in a recent article.
The artist won’t way whether President Obama will be portrayed as a heroic figure on horseback à la some of his other portraits, which quote from Jacques-Louis David’s paintings of Napoleon.
From the article, Wiley says…“I’m excited about it: It’s going to be amazing,” he said. “It’s going to be, like, boom!” he added, spreading his arms in jubilation.
