ArtReview gets stuck in to Performa 09  Performa 09, the performance art biennial, rocked New York in November. ArtReview's Joshua Mack reported back in several missives. Read about his experiences of yeasty pasta saunas and throbbing club nights, Talk Shows and withering looks, moments of transcendence in a church in the Bowry, moments of high school agony with Mike Kelley and more. Click on First Views for a full list.  In London, Laura McLean-Ferris visits an exhibition devoted to the murky world between the abstract and the figurative in Visible Invisible: Against the Security of the Real at Parasol Unit and Oliver Basciano meets influential video artist Peter Campus to discuss the relationship between his 1970s work and a new video installation, currently on view at the BFI Southbank Gallery. Meanwhile, in Lyon, Basciano finds himself veering between the human and the inhuman in Magali Reus's exhibition Background at La Salle de bains gallery. Plus, your favourite girl on the inside, Gallery Girl offers you her hard-won kernels of wisdom to help you climb the artworld's greasy pole: where to eat, what to say and why, if you claim to be from Warsaw, the only way is up. Happy New Year from all at ArtReview! |
