post-Frieze: link updates!
A selection of links to press related to my project COPYSTAND: An Autonomous Manufacturing Zone, presented last week at the Frieze Art Fair, London… More to come! Still super busy. Now I’m installing at P.S.1 for an opening this Sunday but wanted to share a few links:
The New York Times: “Notes from the Frieze: Imitation as Art (and Commerce)” by Carol Vogel
The London Evening Standard: “An artist’s guide to Frieze,” by Alastair McKay
The Times Online: “Scenes from the Frieze Fair in an age of austerity,” by Kate Muir
The Wall Street Journal: “Frieze Fair Opens to Steady Sales, Grey Art”

Temporary re-route to Open Space blog
FYI, while away for the next two weeks I’ll be sending missives to the SFMOMA’s Open Space blog instead of this one. Yep, I guess I sold out, but at least it’s just for a short while. Haha, kidding. But really, I’m using the cover of the Museum to post slightly inane-sounding things in a “Dear Diary” style, with content kind of embedded in it in different ways. You’ll see… So go here for now.

“1969″ at P.S.1, opens 10/25/09
I’m excited to be presenting two newly-commissioned works for P.S.1 for their upcoming exhibition, “1969″ that opens October 25. I’ll post more in detail about the works, which revisit both Robert Morris and Joseph Beuys’, but for now, here’s the exhibition description on their website… So excited to be a part of this lineup and an amazing honor to be asked to contribute to the dialogue!
On a side note, kinda awesome that Vito Acconci (among others) is a part of the show… I just included an image of him from the latest J.Crew catalog in my ongoing series “1001 Words” for the SFMOMA blog. Hellooooo, Vito!

1969
On view October 25, 2009 – April 5, 2010
P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents 1969, a large scale exhibition occupying the entire second floor with works drawn from every department of The Museum of Modern Art. Exploring a cross section of art made during a period marked with revolution and socio-political tumult, this exhibition also will embrace five interventions by a current generation of artists whose work reflects the concerns of 1969 and brings the exhibition into the present. These younger artists will be given free reign to respond to the works on view and to the time period in general. (more…)
