Minimalism Explored Through Exhibitions, Publications, and Performances

Lisson Gallery recently presented an exhibition that brought interpretative clarity to Minimalism after a period of neglect. At Massey Lyuben Gallery, a show last year featured sculpture specifically created for outdoor display, remaining on view through November. A retrospective examined the influential abstract painting group associated with the movement. A new monograph surveys prints by a significant multi-media artist, revealing his quixotic approach and affinity for natural abstraction. A performance piece combined drone and minimal music designed for bodily and headphone experience. Lin's ecological concerns within the work are evident, though their persuasiveness is questioned. The late artist On Kawara, born January 2, 1933 and died June 2014, is referenced. On the Lower East Side, a young artist made a debut with work that engages language, drawing, and commercial processes. Maccarone hosted a staged meeting exploring the art object's relationship with its other.
