A Chicago (ish) art tumblr by me, Claudine Ise. I'm an art writer who contributes to publications such as the Chicago Tribune, artforum.com, and other stuff. This is a visual notebook of the articles, images, videos and other gunk that's clogging my brain at the moment....some of it fodder for the larger stuff I am, have been, or will be thinking and writing about.

“Rezac’s starting point is the body or a part of the world that interacts with the body, like a chair, or a window or other architectural element. He rifts on these, conflating plan and elevation and forcing our eye to choose between the flat and the three-dimensional. These are domestic pieces, scaled to the rooms we actually live in. The homeyness of these objects allows them the possibility of an installation that is both extravagant and believable. Rezac’s pieces hang in the air, lie on the floor or cantilever off the wall. The sculptural issue of the base becomes, for him, more a question of the essential place. He plays visual games with apparent frameworks that are subsumed into the image as we examine them. Does that structure resembling in inverted shelf dictate the hanging configuration of those nine balls, or does the necessary arrangement of the balls demand the form of the framework?”

I’ve always really loved L.A. artist Steve Rodin’s work. This L.A. Times interview with Roden, written by Holly Myers, is well worth the read. Roden has two upcoming exhibitions in L.A.: a 20 year (gasp!) survey at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena, and a major installation at Pomona College, which also happens to be my alma mater (I thought their gallery closed?).
