Rules that break other rules: Felix Gonzalez-Torres’s ‘candy works’ and the logic of neoliberalism by Niko Vicario

[pdj-france]

Après des semaines de spéculations, il apparaît que Tottenham Hotspur se rapproche d'un nouveau défenseur central. D'après Fabrizio Romano, les Lilywhites sont sur le point d'obtenir la signature de Micky van de Ven. Micky Van de Ven est sur le point de rejoindre Tottenham Hotspur Pourquoi Tottenham Hotspur a besoin de Micky van de Ven Ayant déjà disputé deux matches amicaux de pré-saison, les Spurs ont démontré leurs capacités offensives mais ont montré que leur défense est toujours un sujet de préoccupation. Bien qu'ils aient parsemé West Ham de 32 tirs tout en possédant 72% de possession, les Hammers sont sortis victorieux 3-2. Bien qu'ils aient mieux semblé contre Lion City Sailors, ils ont quand même concédé le premier but à la 14e minute de ce match. PDJ: Les Spurs identifient le remplaçant «spécial» de Harry Kane dans Shock Revelation Si Ange Postecoglou veut concourir correctement en Premier League, il est indispensable d'obtenir une mise à niveau par rapport à des joueurs comme Eric Dier, Ben Davies et Japhet Tanganga. Après avoir été qualifié d '«extraordinaire» par l'entraîneur-chef du VfL Wolfsburg Niko Kovac, le footballeur gaucher pourrait bien faire équipe avec Christian Romero en qualité de protection devant Guglielmo Vicario. Regardez: Comment Tottenham peut-il changer sa fortune cette saison? Les finances entourant le transfert Alors que des conditions personnelles aient déjà été convenues, le journaliste italien affirme que les détails doivent être précisés avant que le déménagement puisse avoir lieu, y compris les conditions de paiement mentionnées dans sa dernière mise à jour. Romano a récemment expliqué que Wolfsburg avait reçu une offre pour son défenseur central totalisant 38,7 millions de livres sterling, le club de Bundesliga souhaitant des conditions de paiement différentes ou des ajouts plus faciles. PDJ: Plusieurs clubs de Premier League, dont Tottenham, intéressés par la signature d'un attaquant "fantastique" de 50 millions de livres sterling Romano mentionne que la demande de Wolfsburg sera de 38,7 millions de livres sterling si les conditions de paiement ne peuvent être convenues. Van de Ven ne semble pas être la seule cible du défenseur central, Romano confirmant que les Spurs travaillent sur l'accord avec Edmond Tapsoba. Quoi qu'il en soit, les fans des finalistes de la 8e place apprécieraient en profondeur un changement à l'arrière étant donné qu'ils ont dû regarder leur équipe concéder 63 buts la saison dernière. Une étoile potentielle en devenir Si le joueur de 22 ans peut produire le même niveau de qualité qui lui a valu les éloges de son équipe d'entraîneurs, il est tout à fait possible qu'il devienne un pilier de la défense de Tottenham.

The catalog for #MateoLópez's "Undo List" will be in house soon. It featuring texts by Senior Curator Claire Gilman and Niko Vicario. The book highlights installation photos of López's multidisciplinary installation that is the Colombian artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States. Trained as an architect in his native Bogotá, López has long used drawing as a conceptual tool to cross disciplines and aesthetic categories. Drawing is more than an artistic medium for López; it is a way of conceiving and indeed inhabiting the world. López will be at The Drawing Center for a walkthrough of the exhibition and a book signing next Thursday, March 2, 7-8:30pm. Free admission. PRE-ORDER via drawingcenter.org and click on Bookstore. Catalogue will ship after March 2, 2017 (at The Drawing Center)

Curated by Thieves

In an interview with Assistant Professor of Art and the History of Art Niko Vicario, artist Kota Ezawa talks about how an FBI database sparked his interest in the still unsolved Gardner Museum art heist of 1990 and led him to recreate 13 lost artworks.

Niko Vicario: What attracted you to the Gardner theft as a starting point for these works?

Kota Ezawa: I started out creating re-makes of paintings from the FBI online database of stolen art in the summer of 2015. Among them were the Rembrandts from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. While I was making these drawings, a surveillance videotape from the Gardner Museum surfaced in the media. It was said that the tape contained potential evidence that could lead to the whereabouts of the stolen paintings. I immediately thought that this tape was the perfect companion to the paintings and that the two together would make a compelling subject for an exhibition. This is one of the cases where one could really say “the idea came to me” rather than “I had this idea.”

Circulation and imitation of cultural products are key factors in shaping the material world – as well as identities. Many objects or techniques that came to be seen as local, authentic, and typical are in fact entangled in complex transnational narratives tied to a history of imperialism, and the commercial phenomenon of supply and demand. In the 17th and 18th centuries, artists and craftspeople in Europe appropriated foreign techniques such as porcelain, textiles, or lacquers that eventually shaped local European identities. During the 19th century, Western consumers looked for genuine goods produced outside of industry, and the demand of Bourgeois tourism created a new market of authentic souvenirs and forgeries alike. Furthermore, the 20th century saw the (re)-emergence of local “Schools” of art and crafts as responses to political changes, anthropological research, and/or tourist demand. This multi-parts conference will explore how technical knowledge, immaterial desires, and political agendas impacted the production and consumption of visual and material culture in different times and places. A new scrutiny of this back and forth between demanders and suppliers will allow us to map anew a multidirectional market for cultural goods in which the source countries could be positioned at the center.
