SIDESHOW: Artists and the Circus at the Des Moines Art Center (until April 22, 2012) looks a bit “meh…” but any show that highlights Yasuo Kuniyoshi’s “Amazing Juggler” is worth a mention.
Provisional Painting, pt. 2
Posted in Painting on February 9, 2012| 8 Comments »
In Art in America, Raphael Rubinstein writes a sequel to his 2009 essay “Provisional Painting.”
I’ve got to admit that of late I’ve been disinterested in provisionality (and it’s faux-naive cousins), finding its opposite to actually feel a little more daring. But the Rubinstein article manages to zoom in on what’s still kind of exciting in provisional painting, especially the 8th section, where he essentially lays it on the line: maybe provisional painting is making an important statement, maybe it’s just a crappy mannerism for lazy painters in an easy market, and the implication being, maybe it’s still exciting because we just don’t know–artistic practice as Russian roulette, maybe?
