We’ve published our Fair Guide for Art Basel Miami again this year.  It’s available on our website.  And Paddy Johnson over at Art Fag City has posted it as well.  Enjoy.

…are now available at The Drawing Center: Matt Mullican, A Drawing Translates the Way of Thinking, and M/M: Just Like an Ant Walking on the Edge of the Visible.  (Click on the images below for links to TDC’s publication pages.)

The Mullican DP contains a great new interview between Mullican and the show’s curator, Joao Ribas, as well as transcriptions of pages from two of Mullican’s early notebooks.  Anyone interested in Mullican’s work will definitely find this DP illuminating, particularly for the epistemological questions that are central to the artist’s practice, and not just in drawing.

The M/M DP is the first of our more experimental layouts.  It’s less a catalogue than a creative accompaniment to the conceptual issues that inform M/M’s work in general.  Short texts by Joao Ribas serve as meditations, or prompts for further thinking, on philosophical, literary and psychoanalytic concerns with language itself.

I’ve just updeated the Articles and Reviews pages to now include pieces on Naomi Harris and Jeffrey Inaba, as well as Laleh Khorramian and The New Museum’s show, After Nature.

Travel and other writing engagements have kept me from keeping up appearances here, but that should change shortly.  In the meantime, have a look at this video of Alva Noe discussing “The Problem of Consciousness.”  Noe is one of the more interesting of the philosophers of cognition out there, and we’re eagerly awaiting his new book, titled Strange Tools.
