Art In Conversation
Paul Pfeiffer with Jonathan T.D. Neil
Anyone familiar with Paul Pfeiffers pioneering moving-image work knows that he has been out ahead of the culture for more than twenty years. Yet the manipulations and labors he thought to exert on at-one-time recalcitrant film and video frames have now been incorporated into platform and persuasion technologies that have touched us all, whether were aware of it or not.

Christopher Rothko with Phong H. Bui
As I think of the successes and failures of artists legacies, Ive learned different stories tell different lifes circumstances, depending on luck and persistent efforts on the behalf of those who are dedicating their lives to perpetually keeping the artists works alive and contextually relevant in the former, while in the latter what requires of the artists caretakers, be it members of their families, friends or colleagues there my lack of clarity of intentions or self-motivations.

Kyungmi Shin with Andrew Woolbright
Kyungmi Shins Monsters, Vases and The Priest at Sperone Westwater is an act of ceremony. Moving between timelines, the artist has collapsed the space of images through painting to form an important site for contemplation; for gathering distant experiences and ushering them into the present. In understanding her family lineage she avoids self-mythologizing and instead, more broadly, examines the beauty and dignity of the Asian experience.

James Welling with Robert Slifkin
When James Welling gets deeply involved in a project, he sees the subjects hes interested in everywhere. His current body of work, Thought Objects, emphasizes textured surfaces. Some of his subjects include flowers, Brutalist architecture, a blue door in Paris, a sculpture table in Guilford, but his photographs do much more than convey subject matter, they open out into fields of metaphor and analogy.

Dear Friends and Readers
By Phong BuiThough the advent of social media has created a brilliant democratic openness, those same social media also carry a lot of destructive tendencies. Many of us remember that we once received thoughtful letters from people who agreed or disagreed with what we may have voiced in an essay, an exhibition, or a lecture; and we knew that those complimentary or dissenting responses each required a certain amount of time to compose.

Captives of Heartbr(ache)
By Ksenia SobolevaIm writing the introduction to this months Critics Page as the year 2023 is coming to an end, a year in which Ive spent much time with the idea of queer heartbr(ache). It began when my friend and cosmic mirror (our birthdays are exactly six months apart) LeAndra LeSeur and I had our first significant heart to heart about recent breakups that had left us tender.
