Visited with Warholâs final bestie Paige Powell in Portland and perused her incredible archive for @artnet link in stories she has a show up @jeffreydeitchgallery
âThe Visionary Artist Who Sculpted His Own Afterlifeâ I wrote about incredible Colombian artist Luis Fernando Zapata who tapped into ancient cultures and was taken too early by AIDS in 1994 for @artnet link in stories
Interviewed Charisse Pearlina Weston who has a show at @jackshainman Link in stories âI was thinking about how to represent both the environment of violence and risk that Black folks live in, but also the ways in which we shapeshift, move beyond that, and escape it.â
It was an honor to spend an afternoon at 85-year-old sculptor Barbara Chase-Riboudâs Paris home. A breathtaking talent, she should be the most famous woman in America. Link in stories
Delved into memphis boomerang including talking to Francesco Vezzoli @archiviovezzoli who has a show about Lagerfeld buying entirety of collection with input from @friedman_benda Abraham Thomas at a the met etc- in stories
@vanmeterwilliam on âKilled (of Kids)â published by @jabseveryday â featuring zines and ephemera from the heyday of @huggybearband
âIt somehow makes sense that the short-lived (1991â94) UK Riot Grrrl band Huggy Bear would get a coffee table compendium before their catalog of snarling, sing-along agit-pop-punk was reissued or made available on streaming platformsâŠ. Songs like âPansy Twistâ and âShaved Pussy Poetryâ are lost lo-fi queer-feminist anthems.â
I profiled the artist and designer Dan Friedman whom we lost to AIDS 30 years ago. It includes an unreleased 1989 interview. I hope this honors him and spreads the word. Show up now at @super___house Link in stories.
