Rainey Knudson, the founder of the Texas online art magazine Glasstire, recently announced that she will be stepping down as publisher in 2019 after more than 18 years in the job. As stated in a Glasstire announcement, “During her 18 years at the helm of Glasstire, Knudson has shaped the media outlet into an important resource and connective tissue for the disparate cities that make up the statewide Texas art scene.” 

Eileen Quilan

My work is about a lot of things . . . aging, sexuality, mortality, parenting, environmental collapse, mass murder and guns, macrocosms and microcosms, the domestic, feminism, motherhood and mother artists, making do, confinement, misogyny, available means, lifestyles, access, the internet as the source of all things (appropriation) and how that ties to limits on time and access, art historical allusions, advertising . . .

Richard Meyer

In this first book to be published on criticism and theory regarding queer culture, Phaidon has certainly set the bar high. Richard Meyer states in the preface: “We have chosen the term ‘queer’ in the knowledge that no single word can accommodate the sheer expanse of cultural practices that oppose normative heterosexuality.” The stage has been set for this text, so the next question is, where to begin? Shirley Stevenson, review of Art and Queer Culture, Aesthetica Magazine

In 1971, Chris Burden disappeared for three days without a trace. That work, entitled Disappearing, gives its name to this exhibition, which examines the theme of disappearance in the works of Burden and his contemporaries in 1970s Southern California, Bas Jan Ader and Jack Goldstein. Philipp Kaiser, Disappearing—California, c. 1970: Bas Jan Ader, Chris Burden, Jack Goldstein
