Sandro Ricaldone

A Painter… of sorts
ALLAN KAPROW
Selected Works 1953 – 1975
Hauser & Wirth – Zürich
20 January – 12 March 2022

This January, Hauser & Wirth brings the work of Allan Kaprow, one of the most influential artists of the 20th Century, to its gallery on Limmatstrasse. While Kaprow’s radical innovations in the realm of performance shifted the course of 20th-century American art, he began his career as a painter, studying with Hans Hofmann and focusing on the medium in the 1950s. ‘A painter… of sorts’ presents paintings and drawings by Kaprow from this period, as well as a selection of his video works from 1975.

luc fierens: antagonist poems

https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/luc-fierens/antagonist-poems/paperback/product-9v9zdm.html

“Fierens has the rebellious and challenging look of a poet determined to upset the flattening of our imaginary. Its deeply desacralizing and incisive tone finds in the assault and violence of the advertising and journalistic language a privileged way to intervene critically about reality, giving expression to an alternative and dissident visuality. The focus of his work within the field of collage focuses on his poetic vision, a transgressive vision that is involved in a persistent game of contradictions to end up in a hybrid entity halfway between the plastic and the purely poetic: collage-poem. The aesthetic option of Luc Fierens is nourished by the fragment, the deviation, and above all a will of critical activation that is not very present in the field of collage” (Silvio De Gracia)

This publication was linked to a second (and summarized) version of the exhibition, which was originally held in 2016 at the Museu de Arte Moderna ALoísio Magalhães/Mamam (Recife/PE, Brazil) — and resulted in a more extensive book in terms of compiled works and republished historical/anthological texts (to be digitally available soon).
