For the last eight years, Ishiuchi Miyako has traveled to Hiroshima to photograph objects affected by the atomic bombing of that city. Beginning October 6, her work will be the subject of the exhibition Ishiuchi Miyako: Postwar Shadows at the Getty Museum.

As the show approaches, people often ask how the work will be received here, to which I feel obligated to respond, “I don’t know yet.” Ishiuchi describes the presentation of her ひろしま/hiroshima series at an American museum as the ultimate achievement, commenting that it causes her to believe “there’s hope for this world after all.”

The apples in Seattle’s Piper’s Orchard will ripen this summer and fall with words from a 26-section poem printed on their skin. The “Heirloom” project by poet Shin Yu Pai is a simple idea — using vinyl stickers to imprint letters on fruit — that invites visitors to have a more complex experience in the Carkeek Park orchard through a constantly changing literary narrative.

Julie Blackmon, via Aesthetica Magazine: Combining colour, everyday objects and portraiture, Blackmon’s works are endlessly fascinating, and every return glance reveals a new angle or shape. Focusing primarily on the domestic, the layout of her subjects implies an ongoing narrative that is unconcerned with the presence of the photographer. Inspired by her personal experiences as the eldest of nine children and as a mother, these moments of chaos reflect her concern with the conflicting values of society directing parents to be both child-centred and self-obsessed at the same time. The artist’s resulting works begin in a recognisable reality and depart into the more exaggerated, fantastical elements of life.

“I wasn’t sure I was an artist, so I thought maybe I just was throwing ideas out for people to consider. That took some of the pressure off.” - Jenny Holzer in conversation with Kiki Smith for Interview
