Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook on Lecturing the Dead, and the Art of the One-Sided Conversation

Buddhist monks and gigg
The New Manifestos: 6 Artist Texts That Are Defining Today's Avant-Garde
Once upon a time, you couldn't flip through a European newspaper without coming across the polemical manifesto of a budding avant garde artists' movement. The major movements of the 20th century—Dada, Fluxus, Futurism, Surrealism, Suprematism, and so on—all started with formal statements of intent written by artists, not critics, and often in inflammatory prose. In contrast, today's categories lik
10 Japanese Photographers You Should Know
Since 1974, when legendary photography historian John Szarkowski introducedNew Japanese Photography to the Western audiences at the Museum of Modern Art, critics have lauded the work of this group of artists, from Shomei Tomatsu and Ken Domon to Nobuyoshi Araki and Daido Moriyami, for being exceptionally distinct from that of their Western counterparts.

Since the invention of the printing press, artists have used it for a wide variety of reasons—to experiment with new forms, to exploit its unique strengths as an image-making tool, and to create more work than one person can execute by hand.

How Performance Art Took Over the Art World
In the foreword of Performance Art: From Futurism to the Present, even famed art historian and Performa founder RoseLee Goldberg is unable to fully define performance art. Perhaps it’s simply because performance art is so difficult to understand. It’s no secret that performance art is tough: many of its most famous practitioners, like Marina Abramović, Chris Burden, and Vito Acconci, have conceive
Investigating the Death of Photography at the ICP Triennial
Remember when painting was "dead"? This time it's photography that's been reported deceased. The digital revolution is the alleged killer, what with one billion images posted to the Internet every single day. The cause of death, appropriately enough for Daguerre's discovery, is overexposure.
