"The Museum: A New Social Sculpture" by Simon Wu in Spike Art Magazine 75 Spring 2023

Some have called this the "reparative turn," which has called on institutions to atone for current and historical grievances perpetrated by museums and society more broadly. Writing about documenta fifteen, curated by the Indonesian collective ruangrupa, New York Times art critic Jason Farago described how the show "militated against its own viewing," focusing on work-shops, social gatherings, and "vibing" over visual art: "The real work of the show was not the stuff on the walls but the hanging out around it." Farago continued that this was connected to a larger shift away from aesthetics and toward various forms of social practice observable in museums, art schools, and magazines. Similarly, art historian Barry Schwabsky, writing in 2022 for The Nation, described the recession of the "aesthetic regime," or a turn away from art as a matter of form to increasingly privilege its ethical content. "What if today we are witnessing a return to a time when art is valued for its social utility, its edifying effect on the viewer," he wrote, "more than for its aesthetic valence?"

[...] In 1996, the curator Nicolas Bourriaud coined the term "relational aesthetics" to describe a growing tendency among practitioners to use social scenarios as materials for their art. There were temporary bars (Jorge Pardo's at K21, Dusseldorf; Michael Lin's at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Liam Gillick's at Whitechapel Gallery, London), reading lounges (Apolonija Sustersi's at Kustverein Munchen, or the changing "Le Salon" program at Palais de Tokyo), and pad thai (Rirkrit Tiravanija's Untitled 1992 (Free) at 303 Gallery in New York), all of which used social situations as readymade performances of sorts. Throughout the 2000s, artists like Thomas Hirschhorn, Tania Bruguera, and Theaster Gates expanded these ideas into sprawling, multi-year projects that came to resemble libraries and community centers. From its inception, relational aesthetics inspired fierce debates over the relationships between utility, art, and civic duty. What did it mean to assess and experience that verged on social services according to ethical as well as aesthetic metrics?

Perhaps we have come to see the museum itself as a big, unwieldy project of relational aesthetics. When I go to a museum now, I want to know: Who sits on the board? What are their investments? Is the staff trying to unionize? What are its ties to both police and local communities? To think of the museum as a kind of collaborative social performance is to imbue its operations with both formal mutability and symbolic potential, positioning all those involved as "artists" engaged in its collective reshaping. This is not to just say that the museum is a work of art, or that it can escape the criticism that "good ethics" make for "bad art" endemic to relational aesthetics. It is more to say that perhaps those aspects that always felt concrete and immovable are feeling more unmoored than ever.

Wall Street Rebels Against Exxon The little Engine … Exxon Mobil suffered a stunning loss at its annual shareholder meeting yesterday, as a small new activist investor focused on climate change, Engine No. 1, won at least two seats on its 12-member board. To corporate America, the upset was a clear sign that company boards and leaders need to pay attention to environmental, social and governance issues (known as E.S.G.) — or suffer rebukes. A big splash for a tiny fund. Exxon was the first activist campaign for Engine No. 1, which was founded last year by the energy and tech investor Chris James. Its head of active engagement is Charlie Penner, a veteran hedge fund executive who helped lead campaigns against companies like Apple while at Jana Partners. It was a victory long in the making. Engine No. 1 began agitating against the oil giant in December, calling on the company to diversify away from fossil fuels and reduce its carbon emissions. But it began work on the campaign last March, courting large investors like public pension funds that held far larger stakes in Exxon, and thus had more sway. That’s how it parlayed a stake of just 0.02 percent into seats on the oil giant’s board — a truly remarkable feat. Exxon’s shares rose 1.2 percent yesterday. Sources with knowledge of the matter told DealBook that the fund was betting on a confluence of events, including longstanding investor dissatisfaction with Exxon’s corporate governance and a growing appreciation on Wall Street for E.S.G. In a note explaining why it backed three of Engine No. 1’s board candidates, BlackRock — which owns nearly 7 percent of Exxon — said the company’s directors “need to further assess the company’s strategy and board expertise against the possibility that demand for fossil fuels may decline rapidly in the coming decades.” Exxon largely played down Engine No. 1’s concerns, and pressured the firm to drop its challenge after a much bigger hedge fund, D.E. Shaw, called off a campaign. But Engine No. 1 persisted, and also benefited from timing: It began its campaign while oil prices were still depressed by the pandemic. Had oil not rebounded in recent months, Engine No. 1 executives believe, all four of its directors might have been elected. Big Oil is facing a reckoning. A Dutch court ruled yesterday that Royal Dutch Shell must speed up its efforts to cut its carbon emissions. And Chevron shareholders backed a proposal to compel the company to help customers reduce their own emissions. One question we have: Is Darren Woods, Exxon’s C.E.O., who pushed back forcefully against Engine No. 1, now at risk of losing his job? HERE’S WHAT’S HAPPENING The Justice Department opens an inquiry into Archegos. Prosecutors have asked some of the fund’s lenders for information about its meltdown, Bloomberg reports. The rare blood clots associated with Covid-19 vaccines may have a fixable explanation. German scientists theorize that a feature of the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson shots, one they say could be modified, may be responsible. Russia puts pressure on U.S. tech giants. Moscow’s internet regulator now regularly demands that Facebook, Google and Twitter comply with its content restrictions and data storage requirements, or risk losing access to Russian users. It’s the latest instance of governments squeezing Silicon Valley companies. Ford pours billions more into electric vehicles. The company will increase spending on the technology by a third, to $30 billion. It now expects 40 percent of the vehicles it produces worldwide to be electric by 2030. Purdue Pharma’s restructuring plan is set for a vote. The judge overseeing the OxyContin maker’s bankruptcy case said he would let the company’s proposal — in which it would become a nonprofit, and both it and its founding Sackler family would be shielded from future legal liability — be voted on by 614,000 claimants. A culture of fear at the Gateses’ investment firm Bill Gates’s longtime money manager, Michael Larson, bullied co-workers, made sexually inappropriate comments and engaged in a broad pattern of inappropriate workplace behavior, an investigation by The Times found. For the past 27 years, Larson has run Cascade Investment, also sometimes known as Bill and Melinda Gates Investments (B.M.G.I.), which manages the Gateses’ enormous fortune. Among The Times’s findings: Larson made inappropriate comments about female employees. At a work party in the mid-2000s, he asked male employees which of three female colleagues they would want to have sex with. In another case, he asked an employee who was on a Weight Watchers program, “Are you losing weight for me?” Larson denied making any of the comments. A racist comment from Larson led to an internal investigation. When a Black employee mentioned on Election Day that she had not had to wait in line to vote, Larson replied, “But you live in the ghetto, and everybody knows that Black people don’t vote.” A spokesman for Larson, Chris Giglio, denied that he made the remark. At least one employee reported it to human resources, resulting in an internal investigation. Larson was known for “Larson bombs.” In emails, he sometimes called colleagues “stupid” or their work “garbage.” Some employees were moved to different floors in order to put distance between them and him. “Years ago, earlier in my career, I used harsh language that I would not use today,” Larson said. “I regret this greatly but have done a lot of work to change.” “Any issue raised over the company’s history has been taken seriously and resolved appropriately,” said Bridgitt Arnold, a spokeswoman for Bill Gates. Courtney Wade, a spokeswoman for Melinda French Gates, said, “Melinda unequivocally condemns disrespectful and inappropriate conduct in the workplace. She was unaware of most of these allegations given her lack of ownership of and control over B.M.G.I.” Today in Business Updated  May 26, 2021, 4:06 p.m. ET “During his tenure, Mr. Larson has managed over 380 people, and there have been fewer than five complaints related to him in total,” said Giglio, Larson’s spokesman. “Any complaint was investigated and treated seriously and fully examined, and none merited Mr. Larson’s dismissal.” Overdraft math lessons Yesterday, the Senate Banking Committee held a three-hour hearing with C.E.O.s from the country’s six biggest banks. It lacked much of the heat of sessions in the aftermath of the financial crisis, when Congress routinely castigated Wall Street chiefs. (The C.E.O.s gather again today for a hearing in the House.) The most contentious moment came when Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase felt the wrath of Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts. Warren was a teacher before entering politics; she revealed her roots when she took Dimon and others to task for charging overdraft fees during the pandemic. The four biggest banks took $4 billion in overdraft fees from customers last year, Warren said. She singled out Dimon, asking him how much his bank, the nation’s largest, collected in 2020. “I think your numbers are totally inaccurate,” he countered. Dimon noted that JPMorgan waived fees upon request, didn’t go into overdraft at the Fed (which had waived its fees for banks), and provided $120 million in Covid relief. The senator kept pressing and finally provided the figure herself: “It’s $1.463 billion dollars.” “I did the math for you,” Warren said, calling their claims about stepping up during the pandemic “about $4 billion dollars’ worth of baloney.” When challenged to return the fees, none agreed. She asked Dimon directly twice, and he said “no” twice. Amazon, MGM and the streaming wars Amazon said yesterday that it would acquire the 97-year-old film and television studio MGM for $8.45 billion — about 40 percent more than what other potential buyers, including Apple and Comcast, were willing to pay. The deal reportedly made MGM’s owner, the hedge fund Anchorage Capital, a $2 billion profit. DealBook talked with Brooks Barnes, a reporter at The Times who covers Hollywood, about why Amazon was willing to pay so much and what this means for the streaming wars. Are Amazon’s motives different from other streaming platforms’? Amazon is mostly in the Prime membership business, whereas Netflix wants to sell subscriptions purely to its TV and movies. If you’re Amazon, you want to bolster Prime Video to make people even happier to pay for a Prime membership. Is there a risk that regulators won’t allow the deal? The regulatory scrutiny will be considerable. Representative Ken Buck and Senator Amy Klobuchar, both of whom have important antitrust roles, immediately voiced concern because Amazon is Amazon. But the deal is unlikely to be scuttled because MGM is relatively small and so is Amazon Studios. What does the acquisition mean for the streaming wars? If you’re Apple, you’re probably looking around and thinking, well, we don’t have a library, we don’t have a big franchise of our own. Do we need to go out and buy? People think that it will increase the pressure on other streaming services to bulk up. And that’s becoming harder, right? It’s becoming harder, which is partly, I’m sure, how Amazon justified some of the price. Disney isn’t for sale. Sony has repeatedly said its TV and movie operation is not for sale. It’s also becoming harder in part because the corporate sibling studios are not licensing out as much — they’re supplying their own streaming services. More takes on the deal: Jason Hirschhorn, a former MGM board member, has been thinking out loud on Twitter about the deal, including the intriguing possibility that Amazon could buy out the family that controls MGM’s James Bond franchise, gaining more freedom to expand the Bond “universe.” Brad Stone, the author of the new book “Amazon Unbound,” shared Jeff Bezos’s 12 ingredients for hit shows. MGM owns the rights to “The Apprentice,” including unaired material that some claim contains unflattering footage of the reality show’s former host, Donald Trump. The tapes’ contractual status is unclear, but the notion that they might belong to Bezos, a frequent target of Trump’s ire when he was president, has set tongues wagging.

This is the famous photo -- or one of the famous photos -- of Notre Dame Stadium when Nebraska, and 30,000 of its infamously lunatic fans, invaded South Bend in 2000. That is a lot of red. By the time you read this, I’ll be headed to Notre Dame with some Georgia Bulldog fans who are trying for a similar takeover on Saturday. I’ve never been to Notre Dame Stadium, or South Bend at all for that matter, and I’m delighted to take what is unquestionably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. (Georgia will surely never play there again, and I doubt Illinois is getting an invite.) I cannot wait. I’ve always rejected the idea of a Sports Bucket List: Every sporting event is its own unique experience, even the 50th trip to Stegeman Coliseum to see Georgia play Stetson. But even I can’t deny that, still, there’s something special about Notre Dame. Look for me: I’ll be the one in red.

Chris Lindstrom can be Aaron Rodgers’ protector

If Green Bay wants another shot at a Super Bowl, keeping its franchise quarterback injury free is key.

The last time the Green Bay Packers had two first-round picks was 2009, the draft that netted them defensive tackle B.J. Raji and outside linebacker Clay Matthews III. That duo, in part, helped propel the Packers toward a win in Super Bowl 45.

Brian Gutekunst was a scout for the Packers at that point. Now the team’s general manager, Gutekunst could use his two first-rounders in 2019 to return Green Bay to the Super Bowl.

One of the keys for that happening is keeping quarterback Aaron Rodgers upright. Behind a shoddy offensive line, Rodgers’ 2018 regular season was bookended by injuries. Better line play should, theoretically, help Rodgers stay healthy.

In the SB Nation NFL writers’ mock draft, Jason B. Hirschhorn of Acme Packing Company is here to help protect Rodgers.

30. Green Bay Packers: Chris Lindstrom, G, Boston College

Hirschhorn: Between free agency and the No. 12 overall pick in this mock, the Green Bay Packers have addressed numerous weaknesses on their defense. Meanwhile, the entire offense will shift to an outside-zone, play-action heavy offense under new head coach Matt LaFleur. That scheme favors swift-footed offensive linemen capable of hitting their landmarks and making blocks at the second level, descriptions ill-fitting either of the team’s primary starting guards from last season.

All of which makes Boston College’s Chris Lindstrom an intriguing option for the Packers late in the first round. Lindstrom tested extremely well at the combine for an offensive lineman, finishing with a composite athletic score in the 96th percentile for his position group, according to 3 Sigma Athlete. Just as importantly, Lindstrom comes from a Boston College offense that made regular use of the outside-zone and under-center play-action fakes that will form the backbone of Green Bay’s new offense. He has also seen extensive action at both tackle and guard in college, versatility the Packers have long favored in their O-linemen.

Unlike other first-round offensive linemen, Lindstrom doesn’t need to start immediately given the presence of Lane Taylor and the recently signed Billy Turner. Still, with Taylor coming off his worst year as a starter and Turner perhaps pegged as the eventual successor to right tackle Bryan Bulaga, Lindstrom could slide in as a starting guard as early as this season.

Analysis: As explained above, Lindstrom’s fit in Green Bay is perfect. So perfect you actually have to wonder if the team will consider him with the No. 12 pick instead of hoping he’s around at No. 30. It would be easy to simply give the Packers a tight end like Irv Smith Jr. of Alabama. While that is arguably a bigger immediate need, Lindstrom has the look of a longtime pro who can be a stalwart on an offensive line for years to come.

Top five remaining players:

13. Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama

23. Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson

26. Marquise Brown, WR, Oklahoma

29. Deandre Baker, CB, Georgia

33. N’Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State

We’re down to the final two picks in the 13th annual SB Nation NFL writers’ mock draft. Our first selection is up at 11 a.m. ET with the great 3k of Turf Show Times making the pick for the Los Angeles Rams.

Teladoc Sued By Shareholders After Report Alleges Misconduct By Top Executive

A class action suit has been filed against Teladoc Health stemming from allegations of inappropriate sexual and financial misconduct revealed in a report from the Southern Investigative Research Foundation (SIRF).

The legal complaint from shareholder Jon Reiner alleges that the company made false statements and failed to disclose that Teladoc Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer Mark Hirschhorn had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a subordinate, and engaged with the employee in insider trading prohibited by the company’s internal policies.

Hirschhorn and Teladoc CEO Jason Gorevic are named along with the company as defendants in the lawsuit. Hirschhorn started at Teladoc in 2012 as the company’s chief financial officer and added chief operating officer to his title in 2016.

Purchase, New York-based Teladoc was founded in 2002 and provides telemedicine services to health plans, health systems and other healthcare customers. The company earned more than $233 million in revenue in 2017 and acquired Advance Medical earlier this year for $352 million in a bid to expand operations globally.

The SIRF article reported that Hirschhorn engaged in an affair with a low level Teladoc employee named Charece Griffin who received undue promotions due to the relationship. The piece also alleges that the two traded the company’s stock based on Hirschhorn’s financial advice.

After being made aware of the insider trading, the article goes onto claim that Griffin’s boss reported the details of the affair to the company’s legal and HR departments. This led to an internal investigation that substantiated the allegations, but resulted in few penalties to Hirschhorn, according to the SIRF story.

The release of the SIRF article triggered a 6.7 percent drop in the value of the Teladoc stock, which the lawsuit characterizes as “significant losses and damages” for shareholders. The legal complaint alleges that the public financial disclosures made by Teladoc contained “false and misleading statements.”

Teladoc has responded to the SIRF report with a statement saying the article “contains several factual inaccuracies.”

“When we were made aware of the allegations against Mark Hirschhorn in 2016, we engaged an outside law firm to investigate the claims. That investigation found violations solely of our workplace relationship policy, and our board of directors took swift and appropriate disciplinary action to address the violations. This matter was handled in a prompt, thorough and fair manner,” the statement reads.

I love stories. And the art of storytelling is alive and well on the internet. Discovery may be an issue, but the articles, podcasts, and videos are out there. At REDEF, we believe curators (or influencers) will be key to unearthing them. Yes, technology will play a role in hunting and gathering but the nuance, taste, and context of a curator are very important. We're proud of what we do. Over the past century, technological advancements have massively reduced the cost and time needed to create and circulate content. Though this has liberated artists, consumers are now drowning in a virtually infinite supply of things to watch, listen to and read.
