First Look

Zahra Al-Ghamdi

Working responsively with materials like sand, plaster, refuse, and cotton, Saudi Arabia's Zahra Al-Ghamdi creates semi-abstract installations that address issues of habitation and belonging in the Middle East.

Atlas Oslo

Making Spaces

With government support dwindling, Oslo's artist-run spaces have begun to experiment with unorthodox new funding models, combining alternative programming with commercial entrepreneurship.

Sightlines

Jorge Pardo

Artist Jorge Pardo tells Ross Simonini what's on his mind.

Backstory

Center Stage

Senga Nengudi recalls a 1977 gallery show in Los Angeles where she first exhibited her "R.S.V.P." sculpture series, whose sand-filled pantyhose evoke the elasticity of the human body.

Books

Our Kind of Memoir

Robert Atkins on Douglas Crimp's Before Pictures; plus related titles in brief.

Jimmie Durham's wryly humorous sculptures, paintings, and drawings can be seen as the composite self-portrait of a man with a contentious relationship to all ethnic and national identifiers. 

Everyday Alchemy

With a subtle command of common materials and an unflagging formal inventiveness, Marisa Merz has established herself over the last six and a half decades as a key postwar Italian artist.

A Beckoning Angst

Living a luxurious life while depicting physical and spiritual destitution, France's Bernard Buffet was both wildly popular and, in some quarters, critically reviled. A recent exhibition in Paris presented him as a painter of surprising complexity. 

In the Studio: Ryan Gander

With current shows in five countries, British artist Ryan Gander talks about his extremely diverse output—encompassing sculptures, paintings, installations, building interiors, sneaker designs, essays, and more—in light of his proclivity for oddly "functional" art.
