“One of my dreams,” the artist Vera Molnar said in the early ’80s, “is to create a robot named Vera Molnar.” She imagined this robot would work every night and do exactly what she wanted. It would know everything she had ever created and, based on what she’d already produced, make a list of everything she hadn’t yet done. Molnar never created this robot, though she did become known as the queen of computer-generated art.

In her 1987 sculpture Art History, British artist Marlene Smith placed four framed postcards depicting Black women artists she admired next to a bouquet of plastic flowers arranged in a crocheted vase made by her mother. Smith’s work speaks to feminine networks of creative influences, as well as an overlooked history of art made by women, for women. Art History neatly captures the ethos of Tate Britain’s new exhibition, where it is currently on view.

London PEER 97 & 99 Hoxton Street February 17–May 20, 2023 Each of us is “an archaeological site,” Lucy Sante argued in her 1998 memoir, The Factory of Facts. “What passes for roots is actually a matter of sediment, of accretion, of chance and juxtaposition.” This notion of the self as strata came to mind while visiting Tanoa Sasraku’s exhibition “Liths,” wherein the British-Ghanaian artist uses geological imagery to examine her personal ties to the United Kingdom’s landscape.

Still Life with Oysters and Lemon: On Objects and Intimacy (2001) is a meditation by the poet Mark Doty on a painting Jan Davidsz de Heem made in Antwerp 350 years ago. The painting depicts shucked oysters, a curled lemon peel, some grapes, and a glass of red wine. For Doty the surface of this artwork is brimming, and he has fallen in love with it. The oysters are shimmery, the grapes are dewy, the wine is amber. The background is dark.
