Mexican artist Damián Ortega (covered here) reconceptualizes everyday objects in his sculptural installations. For twenty years, his creative interests have lied in the deconstruction of form and how things are assembled. His solo exhibition at HangarBiocca in Milan, Italy, “Casino,” is also a retrospective of his most famous works through today. This includes his new installation, “Zoom,” made for the event. The experience of viewing his artwork has been described as “explosive,” displaying a burst of energy, like an exploding star. Objects and vehicles such as his Volkswagon Bug, “Cosmic Thing,” (2002) are transformed as a critique about technological innovation.

Wisdom Wednesday: “When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life. It is not in the eye it is in the mind. In our minds there is awareness of perfection.” –Agnes Martin

Agnes Martin: Retrospective opens on June 3 at Tate Modern and will run until October 11. The Tate Modern’s retrospective will be a comprehensive study of Martin’s life work, featuring her early biomorphic paintings and the development of what became her trademark mesmeric, intricate grid canvasses. 

Images: Agnes Martin with Arne Glimcher in front of the studio, Cuba, New Mexico (1974); Agnes Martin and Arne Glimcher in New Mexico, Mar. 5, 1979. All photos courtesy the Pace Gallery.

Whose Values? Whose Justice? Whose Hopes? Whose Fears?

Who is asking these questions? High school students. And they are asking loudly. This installation is the result of a 400-student, multi-school collaboration with artist Barbara Kruger.

Chris Burden - TV Commercials 1973-1977

[artruby]

Chris Burden, Beehive Bunker (2006). 

[robynbensonresearch-blog]

Chris Burden, Untitled, 1970 “All of these pieces attempt to establish a delicate sensual interplay between body and apparatus. They are extremely responsive to changes in position and muscle tension and seem to have been expressly designed to amplify these changes. They are not primarily to be looked at: they are to be donned and used. By drawing the viewer (viewer is obviously no longer the right word) into the work, giving him an active, literally constitutive role, Burden seemed to be trying to overcome the detachment and visual/intellectual distance usually entailed by object sculpture and replace it with an immediate kinesthetic involvement. Trading formal autonomy and stasis for dynamic equilibrium and engagement..” →

Chris Burden: Extreme Measures, on view at the New Museum until January 12.

Chris Burden’s Suspended Submarines

For more photos and videos from All the Submarines of the United States of America and more works from “Chris Burden: Extreme Measures,” explore the #chrisburden hashtag and visit the New Museum location page.

New York City’s New Museum (@newmuseum) is in the midst of hosting “Chris Burden: Extreme Measures,” a retrospective of the artist’s work that spans more than four decades of installations.

The highlight of the retrospective is a gallery-sized installation of 625 suspended cardboard submarines entitled All the Submarines of the United States of America. A side wall of the gallery also features a list of the names for each of the submarines represented in the exhibition. Taken together, the hanging miniature submarines are reminiscent of a school of fish swimming underwater, and their arrangement has proven irresistible to visiting Instagrammers.

Notably, Burden has refused to give a statement on the political opinion behind the work, leaving visitors to form their own ideas out of the “host of questions and thoughts about security, politics, warfare and history” that the piece raises.

Outside of the works on display, Burden is now perhaps now most popularly known for his Urban Lights installment in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (@LACMA).

“Chris Burden: Extreme Measures” and its All the Submarines of the United States of America installation are on display at the New Museum until 12 January, 2014.

I Especially Love You When You Are Sleeping

Work by Diana Shpungin

2011 24″ × 36″ × 68″ graphite pencil, citrus tree, citrus leaves, medical tape, newspaper obituaries

I Especially Love You When You Are Sleeping depicts an orange tree, with most of its leaves fallen, balancing on two severed stacks of newspaper obituaries. The sculpture is based on the gift of a tree that was never planted due to Shpungins’ fathers’ death, the tree itself realizing a similar fate. The sculpture is methodically hand coated in graphite pencil with seemingly endless strokes. The title is an ironic reference to a phrase Shpungin’s father often repeated to her—the phrase also makes reference to the rarity of one to speak ill will after someones death.
