Barry Schwabsky's New Column and Art Reviews Highlight Recent Exhibitions and Publications

Barry Schwabsky's recent activities include the launch of a new column titled 'David's Diary' on artcritical, with the first entry uploaded as lights flickered. He participated in a Zoom discussion moderated by David Cohen, featuring guests Laila Pedro and Roberta Smith, though earlier mentions included Michael Attis, Maria Mitchell, and Dorothea Rockburne. Schwabsky's writing for The Nation has been compiled into a collection by Verso. Several New York exhibitions are noted: 'Ancestors' at Gagosian runs through June 16, Elana Herzog's 'Plumb Pulp' at LMAKprojects on 139 Eldridge Street, Julia Rommel's 'The Little Match Stick Bureau' at 178 Norfolk Street, David Row's 'There and Back' at Loretta Howard Gallery on 525-531 West 26th Street, Leslie Wayne's 'Rags' at Jack Shainman Gallery on 524 West 24th Street, and John Zinsser's 'Paintings and File Studies' at James Graham & Sons on 32 East 67th Street. An excerpt from a monograph on an unspecified artist's work was published by Hamilton College. The content delves into neuroscience related to figuration and abstraction, drawing on family experiences, and praises Schwabsky as a master of concision.
