Flavin: Light-years Ahead
March 20th, 2008This week in the Village Voice R.C. Baker writes up the Flavin show at Zwirner & Wirth in New York City. His verdict: “it’s the freshest, most challenging and uplifting exhibition in town.” That’s really saying something, especially since it’s a recreation of Flavin’s exhibition at the Green Gallery in 1964.
You might say the Pulitzer takes the opposite tack with Flavin. Instead of recreating a historic installation, we’re presenting a totally new one. The difficulty (and necessity) of installing thoroughly situational art in the absence of the artist is an issue at the heart of both the print and web publications we’re preparing to release early in April. Keep an eye out for them. And if you can, go see Flavin in New York!
