Timing Pulses: The Interoceptive Art of Allan Kaprow’s 'Time Pieces'
The artist's 1973 work invites participants to feel time through heartbeats, breath, and shared awareness.
“Timing Pulses: The Interoceptive Art of Allan Kaprow’s 'Time Pieces'” is now up at The MIT Press Reader. This article is an edited excerpt from the Time chapter of my book, 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙗𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝘼𝙧𝙩

In this painting, the subject reading the Parable of the Sower rests in a field of abundant greenery, suggesting rest as a radical act of resistance in a world that values labor and capital over care.

Feels like Mimi Smith's clothing and clock sculptures are the most radical. Clothing and clocks are perfect forms for feminist conceptual art.

Text that reads:
Organized around a series of key operations in Nevelson’s own process (dragging, coloring, joining, and facing), the book comprises four slipcased, individually bound volumes that can be read in any order. Both form and content thus echo Nevelson’s own modular sculptures, the gridded boxes of which the artist herself rearranged. Exploring how Nevelson’s making relates to domesticity, racialized matter, gendered labor, and the environment, Bryan-Wilson offers a sustained examination of the social and political implications of Nevelson’s art. The author also approaches Nevelson’s sculptures from her own embodied subjectivity as a queer feminist scholar. She forges an expansive art history that places Nevelson’s assemblages in dialogue with a wide array of marginalized worldmaking and underlines the artist’s proclamation of allegiance to blackness.

Might Julia Bryan-Wilson’s 4-part monograph on Nevelson be helpful? The four slim volumes are meant to be read in any order and are organized by multivalent themes that cut across chronology: drag, color, join, face.

Four people in a museum looking at paintings of people
Three people walking by a wall of small oil paintings
Man staring at a painting of a woman
Woman walking by paintings of young girls
The Paula Modersohn-Becker exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago was a pleasure to tour and looking at people looking at the paintings was strangely pleasurable because of the content and intimacy of the art on display.

It happens from time to time as bsky is trying to handle so many new users. But it usually goes away after an hour or so or after refreshing the app.

There’s not nearly enough attention to this recently opened exhibition in Paris on Nadia Léger whose life and career (including as teacher in Léger’s free, non-hierarchical, and gender mixed Atelier moderne) has much to offer about women’s experience in the Parisian avant-garde.

Not one of his Playscapes, but Noguchi’s “peach pit” at Storm King is one of our family’s favorites. Fun to climb inside!
