Information Overload! Research-Based Art
A preview of my next book in Artforum's April '23 issue. They rushed the pictures in the magazine and didn't consult me, so focus on the online version instead! The longer version will be out next year in Disordered Attention (Verso). NB interesting debate about the essay on Dieter Roelestraete's Instagram here.

Bocanegra Performance-Lecture
After a long pause with Artforum, I'm back. They invited me to write a Top 10 but I hadn't seen ten great things. Instead, they let me write about Suzanne Bocanegra's dazzling performance lecture (with Lili Taylor) at The Met back in February. It really stood out as a blinding example of the genre. Link here.

Art of Assembly XIV
Florian Malzacher's long-running and excellent series Art of Assembly came to NY in March. I was totally thrilled to be doing my first in-person public event in 2+ years, and in the company of (insane combination alert) Tania Bruguera and Ann Liv Young. I also discovered I was completely out of practice at navigating live Q&A. Here's the vid.
Conservation Conversation
I know nothing about conservation, so I was disconcerted by this invitation to talk to researchers at Bern University of the Arts about the conservation of performance. I declined but Hanna Hölling was persuasive and twisted my arm. The awkward results can be viewed here.
