“Her work never stoops to ‘be,’ exactly, embracing instead a ‘yes, and’ approach to form that bucks narrative and leaves viewers in an intoxicating state of semiotic limbo.”—Jennifer Krasinski reviews an exhibition of new works by Helen Marten greenenaftali 4columns.org/krasinski-jenn…

I have officially resigned as editor at Artforum. I am absolutely gutted, but also proud of all that we were able to pull off these past five years and extremely grateful our colleagues and contributors.

I’ve resigned as senior editor of Artforum dot com. David Velasco’s firing is unacceptable and bodes ominously for the future of the magazine. I’m sad it’s come to this but deeply grateful for the extraordinary writers, artists & colleagues I’ve worked with over the past 6 years.

Yesterday I resigned as a senior editor of Artforum.com. The firing of David Velasco violates everything I had cherished about the magazine and makes my work there untenable. I’m devastated by this outcome and will deeply miss my talented colleagues and contributors.

Artforum should have re-published this memorial which is as newsworthy as the shoddy letter that caused the firing of David Velasco, a great editor, and the resignation of its best staff. Who wins? Russia, Iran

The Artforum boycott appears to be widening as more than 300 sign a letter to also stop working with other Penske publications like ARTnews and Art in America. "We want independent forums for art," the letter says. docs.google.com/document/d/15V…

When I was proudest to be part of Columbia: the 1985 blockade that resulted in divestment from apartheid. Outrageous that Columbia has banned Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine & Jewish Voice for Peace NYC . May the time between institutional intransigence & justice be brief.

"We know that we don’t know, and by seizing elision rather than suffering from it, we access a space in which to conceive as-yet-untold possibilities for the future." Jennifer Krasinski (Jennifer Krasinski) reviews Anne Carson's WRONG NORMA Bookforum Magazine ow.ly/KsuG50QzmTb

“Speeding through a long history at a high velocity, the book makes vivid how the ‘Village Voice’ held power accountable for its inevitable corruptions and how effective it was at changing New York politics.”—Jennifer Krasinski on “The Freaks Came Out to Write” 4columns.org/krasinski-jenn…

Peter Schjeldahl would have been 82 years old today and I so miss hearing him discourse on Velasquez and his other art passions.
