Wrote this personal obit about George Michael. About the importance in his use of religious iconography, as this sort of bridge for lgbtqipa raised in the church.

“Do I want to make a painting of it. Yes because of the yellow. No, because it’s not my idea; it’s familiar to someone else. Oh, keep the yellow. Make another arrangement.”

This quote was taken from one of Mary Ann Aitken’s sketchbooks from the 1980s, a year after the artist’s death. The hue in question dominates the brightly lit facade depicted in Aitkin’s Untitled (Sherman Brothers Awnings) (all works ca. 1985–89), whose rows of muted-red awnings cast dun-brown shadows on the Naples-yellow building. Aitken used colors reminiscent of everyday objects (yellow like a daffodil, like an egg yolk) in ways that rendered her abstracted views of quotidian scenes unfamiliar.

-from my review of Mary Ann Aitken’s Detroit paintings, in the December issue of Artforum.

Luis Barragán's firm, Estudio 3.14, has visualised the "gorgeous perversity" of US presidential candidate Donald Trump's plan to build a wall. In response to the controversial proposal, a group of interns came up with a conceptual design that would celebrate Mexico's architectural heritage.
