Brandywine Conservancy and Museum picks architects for $100m expansion project

The Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, has selected Kengo Kuma & Associates, along with landscape architects Field Operations and Schwartz Silver Architects, to lead a $100 million expansion project. The plan includes a new 40,000-square-foot museum building, renovation of the existing 19th-century grist mill museum, and a ten-mile loop of walking trails connecting the two buildings to the historic studios of artists N.C. Wyeth and Andrew Wyeth. Construction is expected to begin in spring 2025, with completion in autumn 2029. Nearly half the funding has been raised, including contributions from the Wyeth Foundation for American Art and Wyeth family members.

art in america winter collaborations issue

The winter collaborations issue of Art in America explores the often unglamorous, slow-paced nature of creative work, challenging the social-media-driven perception of art-making as fast and dramatic. The issue features pieces on Ira Sachs's film *Peter Hujar's Day*, which depicts the artist's mundane daily routine, and an interview with Chicago-based artists Nick Cave and Bob Faust, who discuss their collaborative practice and the perceived lack of drama in their process. Other highlights include features on Talia Chetrit's fashion-art boundary work, Mernet Larsen's multi-perspective paintings, and the role of licensing agreements with artists' estates.

The project is an initiative of the Independent art fair and the Contemporary Art Library, a Los Angeles nonprofit.

Michael Asher at Artists Space review

Artists Space in New York is hosting a posthumous survey of Michael Asher, the influential conceptual artist who died in 2012. Curated by Jay Sanders and Stella Cilman, the exhibition focuses not on Asher's well-known site-specific interventions—which by their nature cannot be recreated—but on the material residues they left behind: magazines, advertisements, radio works, postcards, T-shirts, and other ephemera. A key artifact is a copy of Tom Marioni's 1975 magazine *Vision*, in which Asher glued two facing pages together, effectively making himself disappear between contributions by Doug Wheeler and Bruce Nauman. The show spans forty-five years of projects, presenting these objects as physical remainders of Asher's practice.
