catherine opie interview trump misogyny 1112891

Los Angeles-based artist Catherine Opie is in London for the opening of her solo exhibition "Portraits and Landscapes" at Thomas Dane Gallery, following the installation of her major survey "Keeping an Eye on the World" at the Henie Onstad Kunstsenter in Norway. The show features one large-scale abstracted portrait of the British coast and 13 Old Master-influenced portraits of renowned contemporary artists and figures, including David Hockney, Anish Kapoor, Duro Olowu, Thelma Golden, Gillian Wearing, Isaac Julien, and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye. In an interview, Opie discusses her choice of sitters, her formal portrait techniques, and the meta-portrait quality of riffing on the subjects' own artistic practices.

kevin beasley storm king acoustic mirror 1234740204

Kevin Beasley has created a large-scale acoustic mirror for Storm King Art Center, opening May 7. The 11-foot-tall, 100-foot-wide four-part sculpture is inspired by World War I–era concrete acoustic mirrors used for detecting enemy aircraft. Unlike those obsolete relics, Beasley's work is made from recycled clothes cast in resin and will amplify visitors' voices and outdoor sounds. The piece engages with the history of the Hudson River School painters and themes of colonialism, Manifest Destiny, and contested land, while also celebrating agricultural cycles through its seasonal titles: Proscenium| Rebirth, Growth, Harvest, and Dormancy.
