“This is not a writer who doesn’t know her own mind. As these essays reveal, she knows her mind so well that she’s content to let it wander. The reader gets to come along for the ramble.”—@evcbrown reviews “Paying Attention” by @glossitis @zwirnerbooks 4columns.org/brown-liz/payin…

“Some imperfect yet heartfelt performances have been immortalized, highlighting by analogy the improvised nature of the project as a whole, its advanced and committed amateurism.”—Ed Halter reviews Chris Jolly’s “Curse of the Seven Jackals” @AnthologyFilm 4columns.org/halter-ed/curse…

“She pays homage to those artists who have shaped her thinking by interjecting their work among her own. Her taste is exquisite, and she seems a clear fan of the hand and its powers to channel and transform.”— @prettymetals reviews “Carol Bove” @Guggenheim 4columns.org/krasinski-jenni…

“Why would anyone pay $100 a ticket to hear the linguistic equivalent of bubblegum vape mist? Stroll the Meatpacking District any weekend and breathe it for free.”—David Cote writes about Kip Williams’s new adaptation of “The Maids” by Jean Genet 4columns.org/cote-david/the-…

“Each of these bone-deep cuts showcases the unpredictability of a wide variety of charismatic freaks: motormouths, vamps, Teutonic beauties prone to gnomic pronouncements.”—@MelissEAnderson on “Essential/Unessential Warhol” @AnthologyFilm, from the archive 4columns.org/anderson-meliss…

“Tillman is always trying to probe the limits of language, to expose the paradox of using words for art, since ‘words can only approximate’ objects.”—@evcbrown reviews “Paying Attention,” the latest collection of art writing by @glossitis @zwirnerbooks 4columns.org/brown-liz/payin…

“The collision of the nonactors’ chance operations with the real-time limitations of camera mechanics and film chemistry creates a powerfully dreamlike state of down-home wabi-sabi.”—Ed Halter on Chris Jolly’s “Curse of the Seven Jackals” @AnthologyFilm 4columns.org/halter-ed/curse…

“Perhaps curator Andrew Bolton hasn’t realized that the queer qualities of pink have leached out of the color. Like the rosy hue of the museum’s walls, camp, as presented here, has lost its subversive edge.”—@dwpenny on “Camp” @metmuseum, from the archive 4columns.org/penny-daniel/ca…

“Here she takes on the museum itself, installing, yes, but also integrating and intervening so its many pieces and parts and spaces feel, together with the contents of her exhibition, like a sum-total über-artwork.”— @prettymetals on Carol Bove @Guggenheim 4columns.org/krasinski-jenni…

“To justify his Instagrammed concept—video streamed on floor-to-ceiling mirrored doors—Williams thoroughly mutilates the source. His rendering is engorged with an excess of Gen Z Nadsat.”—David Cote on Kip Williams’s adaptation of Jean Genet’s “The Maids” 4columns.org/cote-david/the-…

“Absolute catharsis has ensued in most theaters, blaspheming the man himself, who would never have approved of being portrayed like the muse of an upscale karaoke booth.”—@Harmony_Holiday reviews “Michael,” Antoine Fuqua’s new biopic on Michael Jackson 4columns.org/holiday-harmony…

“The show doesn’t feel motivated by a message of racial harmony, even if that’s what one comes away with. Maybe its message is a stronger one, about obliterating the notion of otherness altogether.”—James Hannaham on “David Hammons and Jannis Kounellis” 4columns.org/hannaham-james/…
