From the desk of the editor – July

Hello and good day. Here are some items that I hope you enjoy

A passing of note in the international sculpture community: https://hyperallergic.com/1020650/joel-shapiro-sculptor-of-emotive-figures-dies-at-83/

Anti-Illusion was a catalytic exhibition, which articulated some of the key terms of the paradigmatic shift in postwar art and theory. Including artists working in a variety of media, the exhibition was significant in its redefinition of “the artist” and its shift of focus to the artist’s “process.” For the April 4 program, we have invited panelists – artists, critics, curators, scholars – who will discuss how Anti-Illusion has shaped their practice, from the dialogue between artists and institutions to strategies for presenting time-based work in the museum. Follow this link to refer to the initial catalog of the 1969 exhibition. Check it out here:https://archive.org/details/antiillusionproc61whit/mode/2up

Art in residence, at the dump. In the annual Glean program, artists rehash the city’s refuse. “Maybe this trash isn’t trash,” says the program manager.https://www.pdxmonthly.com/arts-and-culture/2025/04/glean-artist-residency-garbage-dump-gallery
