Since seeing Kim Sung Hwan's Love Before Bond in 2017 I've tried to slow down and watch as many video works as possible while in the main exhibition halls of the Venice Biennale. I know it's a privilege to have had the time to watch nearly twenty four hours of film work over the past week, but I encourage everyone to slow down and experience a few of these pieces through. Here are ten that have stayed with me, including works by Tsai Ming-Liang, Tiona Nekkia McClodden, Linda Goode Bryant, Nina Katchadourian, Tuân Andrew Nguyên, SofÃa Gallisá Muriente, Rose Salane, Manuel Mathieu, Fabrice Aragno, and Éric Baudelaire.
"LeRoi Jones has somewhere called [New York] a 'world of afternoons,' and that is what it is; ... Fitzgerald afternoons, when the air is crisp and the sky has that incredible blue color the New Yorker sees about ten times a year, and when one, if foolish enough, believes all things are possible." -Gilbert Sorrentino

Grateful to @artforum for the opportunity to review Louise Bonnet and Elizabeth King's double exhibition at the @swissinstitute . I must have visited this show six or seven times during the late-June heatwaves.
The apotheosis of my smiley obsession is this review of Laura Owens’s spring exhibition at @matthewmarksgallery Grateful to the editors of @mutt.nyc for letting me get strange with this one🙃
