Three More Days

Lorna Simpson, one of my favorite photographers, has an exhibit at The Whitney here in NYC. Most of her work examines racial and gender identity, though I am not sure she would want to be fully defined that way. I was not as familiar with her video work and was pretty impressed by it. They are calling this exhibition a “mid-career survey.” (I wonder how one can decide when they are mid-career. Is that something that someone decides for you?) You should check out her exhibit. It ends in three days.
There is also a Gordon Matta-Clark retrospective that lasts until June. I was completely unfamiliar with him and was blown away by the amount of work he accomplished in his ten year career as an artist. Matta-Clark went to architecture school but never pursued a career as an architect. He simply became obsessed with urban spaces and created drawings, films, photographs, notebooks, and documentaries. The museum rotates the video pieces that they show so each visit is a new experience.
