“Rain” - Franz Marc, 1912
Gate at Casa Mila (Gaudi), Barcelona, Spain
Martine recently participated in the NY Art Book Fair and picked up a couple of items for me including the first two issues of The Exhibitionist, a rich, rigorous new publication focused exclusively on the production of exhibitions. A lot of this is new to me, despite working behind the scenes at a museum for the better part of a year.
As I was commuting home tonight and reading the first issue, I thought about the ways in which I learn things is now a mutated form of the way in which I consumed information in the past. Sometimes I feel as if I’m shoveling information down my throat, trying to learn more about the things that interest or intrigue me, but not necessarily having the background knowledge or time or energy to consume this new information in the way that came so easily as an undergraduate. Learning post-college is a test of patience and time management. I have to take time and slow down when my greatest urge is to merely slump against the seat in the train car.
But back to the magazine itself, what I enjoy the most is the fact the writers are usually curators and they are also breaking down the exhibition making, figuring out why they make the choices they make and looking at work that is not their own but still through the eyes of someone who pieces together historical narratives through the visual arts.

It is impossible not to be intrigued by the dramatic design of this building. The ripple-like forms that surround the otherwise normal structure display the massive creativity that went into those curves, but they aren’t just for visual appeal. They also help shade the glass and “confuse” the wind, and are arranged specifically so that residents can have views of city landmarks unobscured by the surrounding structures. Simply Astounding.
