While the subject matter of Willie Binnie’s Marfa appears to be entirely relevant to our current political situation, appearances are deceiving. Despite the fact Binnie has asserted that his works can be understood as expressions of either hope or despair, it is not necessarily the case that he is referring only to our emotional response to the issues that plague us — climate change, immigration, rural poverty, the decimation of Gaza — and the criminal evisceration of the means to deal with them.

That American artist, writer, curator, lecturer, and critic Ronald Jones (1952–2019) was both a scholar and a showman was clear from Empire gallery’s two-part exhibition. Jones’s cosmopolitan approach to artmaking was on full display, beginning with a selection of prints from his 1991 series “16 Isarstrasse”and culminating in a lesser-known work with a 451-word title that, for the sake of expediency, will be referred to here as Diego de Santa Marta . . . , 1992.

Contemplates the body as an evolving landscape in "Fragile Narratives"In the sculptural and pictorial universe created by Pinaree Sanpitak, the body is a constellation of buoyant fragments—a vague question held by a golden breast-shaped stupa, or a quiet gesture tucked inside the fold of silk.

PST ART lights up Los Angeles—and the skies beyondIT WAS A CLEAR DAY, the kind where you can see forever. Especially if you’re standing on the airy terrace of Los Angeles’s Getty Center one mid-September morning. I’m here for the launch of the third iteration of Getty’s “Pacific Standard Time” program, newly rebranded into the far more keyword-searchable PST ART. The 900-foot elevation, with its sweeping god’s-eye view, prompts a little excavation through a few layers of history.

FOR NEARLY SIX DECADES, the subversive Art & Language collective has made art that reflects its countercultural position in the world, all while rejecting the confines of an identifiable or distinctive aesthetic. Mel Ramsden (b. 1944, Ilkeston, UK), among the most prominent artists associated with Conceptual art and one of two remaining members of the collective, died on July 23.

My relationship with Bob became even more intimate through our sick-on-sick bonding. In 1990, due to a complication from an HIV infection, I needed a splenectomy. The procedure was stalled by a day and I was unable to tell my friends about it. Bob and Sheree, however, got the news—I was greeted by their faces and voices while coming out of heavy anesthesia in the hospital. “Twenty-five staples! I should have brought my camera,” said Sheree, which, of course, would have been completely appropriate.

On Henry Fonda for PresidentTHERE’S A REASON why so many people regard Ronald Reagan as America’s last great leader. The further the monolithic Hollywood of the storied past recedes into the fragmented fun house of the media present, the more mythic the stellar avatars appear. One such divinity: straight-talking, honorable, unassuming, heroic Henry Fonda (1905–1982).

In Orhan Pamuk’s 2001 novel My Name Is Red, poetry and painting are portrayed as interconnected and complementary forms of expression. The Ottoman miniaturists in the book draw their inspiration from poetry in the creation of their exquisite imagery. Born in Iran, raised in Pakistan, and currently living in North Texas, Nida Bangash works in a variety of media but was formally trained in Persian and South Asian miniature painting.
