Inspiring lecture by renowned landscape designer, Deborah Nevins. The Stavros Niarchos Park in Athens A 40 acre sustainable, drought tolerant, park and an education working in horticultural zones 4 to 13. Deborah Nevins founded the New York-based landscape design firm Deborah Nevins & Associates over 25 years ago. Her firm's work includes the 40-acre Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center and Park in Athens (a collaboration with Renzo Piano Building Workshop) and the recently completed campus expansion of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, including new buildings by Steven Holl Architects. DNA also designed the Pritzker Garden in the Renzo Piano-designed Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago. The firm's extensive residential work includes significant gardens and estates throughout the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe—and many on Long Island. DNA's work has been recognized for its design and sustainability by major publications and landscape associations, including a leadership award from the International Green Roof Association for the SNFCC in Athens. A historian of landscape and architecture, Nevins lectures often, and her writing has appeared in numerous books, journals, and periodicals. She lives in East Hampton and is a board member of Long House Reserve. Landscape Pleasures 2021 is made possible, in part, with support from Grand Patrons Lillian and Joel Cohen and Whitmores; Grand Sponsors Linda Hackett and Melinda Hackett/ CAL Foundation, LaGuardia Design Group and Summerhill Landscapes; and Grand Participants Gardeneering/Tish Rehill, Elizabeth and David Granville-Smith, and Piazza Horticultural. Hamptons Cottages & Gardens is the media sponsor.
Ganser continues to explore themes of anxiety and desire and failure on their new single “Smelling Salts,” with an equally claustrophobic video directed by Kim Alpert, featuring model Jennifer Pham. The single shows an evolution in the band’s sound, incorporating brass and other new instrumentation with similar dissociative vocals. Alpert’s (aestheticengineer.com) work has been displayed in a variety of settings from underground experimental video showcases to the Modern Wing of the Chicago Art Institute.
This week Duncan and Richard interview Monica Bonvicini about her work and her show Light Me Black which is the current Focus show at the Art Institute of Chicago. Well, it was largely Richard as he would not shut up and Duncan had to be wheeled into the interview on a gurney due to his case of swine/bird/monkey flu/pox, and therefore did not have the strength to lift the stun gun of containment which is typically used in these situations.The following text was shamelessly lifted from the Art Institute's web site.November 20, 2009–January 24, 2010 Gallery 182 Overview: Equal parts beautiful and menacing, Monica Bonvicini’s sculptures, installations, videos, and drawings provoke an acute awareness of the physical and psychological effects of institutional, particularly museum, architecture. Favoring industrial materials that reference the modernist canon, such as metal and glass, often combined with the trappings of sexual fetishism—leather, chains, and rubber—Bonvicini confronts the power structures and contradictions inherent in built environments. Text quoted from a variety of sources, including literature, psychoanalytic theory, popular music, and architects’ own words, adds yet another layer to her wry commentary. More than any other artist working today, her projects aim to expose the disparity between the sexy, utopian, and avant-gardist claims of certain—largely male—“starchitects” and the realities of the spaces they create. The first Focus exhibition in the museum’s new Modern Wing, Bonvicini’s project brings together three works that directly engage the Renzo Piano–designed building both formally and conceptually. Created specifically for the Art Institute, Light Me Black, an immense sculpture comprising 144 custom-made fluorescent lighting fixtures suspended from the ceiling, recalls the emphasis on light throughout the Modern Wing. In the now-iconic 1998 installation Plastered, re-created at the Art Institute, the entire gallery floor is constructed out of unfinished drywall panels that progressively crack and fragment as visitors move through the space. The third part of the exhibition consists of three glass panels depicting altered renderings of earlier sculptural projects by Bonvicini and invoking the building’s glass-curtain façade—replicated in a smaller scale in Gallery 182. The three discrete elements work together to acknowledge the aesthetic achievements of the building while hinting at its potential vulnerabilities.

This week: Duncan and Richard get a sneak preview of the Contemporary Galleries in the new Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago. Lisa Dorin the Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art is our guide. Duncan draws some wacky parallel between Kerry James Marshall's paintings and the Matrix. Richard refers to the juxtaposition of Nauman's Clown Torture and Robert Ryman's Charter Series as "If the CSO had a G.G. Allin/ J.S. Bach double bill". Lisa answers the question: was it a complete pain in the ass to install Richard Serra's ten thousand pound work Weights and Measures?
