Posted • Rosemarie Beck
(1923-2003)

"1956-58 represented a crisis for me. The ore in my abstract vein had thinned. My theme or imagery - for abstract painting does have imagery - had atomized and was in danger of atomizing all together. All that was left to me, it seemed, was a kind of writing...
Hence - slowly, painfully, gropingly - I returned to figurative imagery. Temporarily, I hoped. But the paradox of the REAL versus the ABSTRACT took hold, crescendoed, swelled and engulfed me, like a tidal wave." --- Rosemarie Beck, "Letters to a Young Painter and Other Writings," pp. 71-72.

Delighted to see Lastgaspism on this list!

Posted • Summer always brings a long-awaited pause from routine, but with so many threats—to democracy, our rights, and the lives and wellbeing of our communities—we're taking that time to reflect on radicalness with CT's summer reading list exploring art, politics, and movement building. 📚 ☀️

The river carries riches of flotsam; layers of debris, indulgence and consequence.

Throughout the strata from the transfer station to the web and back again.

A river of many voices and objects, images, and materials, occupying different economies of circulation.

So many things to look at. Alluring but also full of uncertainty, unknowing and improvisation. How did we get here?

The collaboration finds closeness in working with personal connections to shared materials. Recurrences reveal differences, scaled to the individual and engaging the collective, subverting standardization and habit, recreating material histories.

Finding the soft geometries of folds in fabric, paper, skin, a figure in a crowd. The boundaries between many parts dissolve, as do various preceding values of material, image, form. A fold is a reframing system that amplifies the fragment of a pattern or a detail of the woven. When spread out or draped upon a body, the system for re-looking is remembered by its ghostly creases.

The thrill of anonymous art of the everyday.

The difference is the howl, the difference in tone, the wolf tone.
