Sung Tieu
Untitled (Everything or Nothing), 2021
Stainless steel stool and skirt suit
$10-20k
Presented by Sfeir-Semler
Sung Tieu is one of the most inspiring artists I know. Born in Vietnam and raised in Germany, in her work she accumulates, superimposes and contaminates objects, sounds and images creating factual, fictional, plausible and possible narrative layers until they become inseparable from one another.
Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme
And Yet My Mask Is Powerful, 2016-2018
Single Channel Video
Price on Application
Presented by Proyectos Ultravioleta
I have been an avid fan of Basel Abbas and Ruanne Abou-Rahme’s work since I saw their immersive, complex installation The Incidental Insurgents (2012-15). In the following years, their practice has become more and more challenging and timely, among other things investigating the use and meaning of masks before we all had to start use them.
Pacita Abad’s signature “trapunto paintings” are wonderful, surprising and unique. They were made by stitching and stuffing the canvas, which is also painted. Abad, who died in 2004, will be the subject of large traveling retrospective, opening at the Walker Arts Center in 2023.
Luiz Roque
Francesco, 2021
Ceramic
$6,000
Presented by Mendes Wood DM
Better-known for his video and films, like those currently on view at this year’s stunning Biennale in Venice, in the last year Luiz Roque started producing an impressive series of small, enigmatic ceramic pieces, which can be seen as a free and “opaque” counterpoint to the more narrative tone of his moving image production.
Despite the long overdue visibility, and attention her work has finally received in the last few years, I think Lorraine O’Grady’s importance is still to be largely recognized by a large audience. To me, her Miscegenated Family Album (1980/1994) is nothing less than one of the masterpieces of 20th Century American Art.
Jacopo Crivelli Visconti was chief curator of the 34th Bienal de São Paulo (2020-21) and curator of Com o coração saindo pela boca, Jonathas de Andrade's exhibition at the Brazilian pavilion in the 59th Biennale di Venezia (2022).
