Barry Schwabsky on Genevieve Goffman - Artforum International
Genevieve Goffman’s “Before It All Went Wrong,” a show of half a dozen small intricate sculptures, suggested a nostalgia for some lost dreamworld. But, with their focus on setting rather than story, they left the cause of the fall uncertain. Using modeling software, Goffman concocted her deliriously artificial paradises and stately pleasure domes with heady amalgams of Baroque style, chinoiserie, and Disneyesque whimsy, peppering them with stray bits of Brutalism culled from Yugoslavian war monuments. She realized her seductive yet unsettling visions with a 3D printer, mostly in transparent
Agnieszka Gratza on Isabella Ducrot - Artforum International
Conceived as altarpieces for the baroque church of San Giuseppe delle Scalze a Pontecorvo in Isabella Ducrot’s hometown of Naples, the three larger-than-life works on paper presented as part of the artist’s show “Il Miracoloso” (The Miraculous) sat somewhat awkwardly on the walls of a white cube dwarfed by their imposing scale, their lower edges curving out to rest on the gallery’s polished concrete floor. And yet the tension arising from their sacred subject matter now being shown in a profane space was productive. The triptych, whose display at T293 replicated that at Le Scalze, juxtaposed
Pietro Fortuna at BPS22 - Musée d'art de la Province de Hainaut - Artforum International
Over the past half century, Italian art has often championed stylistic homegeneity over diversity, an inclination sometimes traceable to Arte Povera or the Transavanguardia and sometimes pure caustic, baroque buffoonery (or, more rarely, a combination of these aesthetics). Pietro Fortuna discreetly breaks from this mold. At first glance, his work exudes a Minimalist external aspect, but he injects it with accents of Pop, which he treats with a mixture of affection and detachment. He is a little bit like the American artist Haim Steinbach, operating with the same precision.Fortuna’s installation
Gaby Cepeda on Josef Strau - Artforum International
Tin, jewelry, and iron fences have been persistent in the work of Josef Strau, an Austrian identified with the Conceptual art scene that emerged from Cologne in the 1990s. Another constant has been text, usually in large quantities—but that was absent from this show, “El Comercio de los Lamentos Finos” (The Shop of Fine Lamentations), whose title evokes the baroque atmosphere of the busy downtown Mexico City shops where Strau sourced many of his materials. One had the feeling that what lay at the center of his intentions for this show was incertitude, the power of randomness and serendipity over
