Yesterday I resigned as a senior editor of Artforum.com. The firing of David Velasco violates everything I had cherished about the magazine and makes my work there untenable. I’m devastated by this outcome and will deeply miss my talented colleagues and contributors.

I’ve resigned as senior editor of Artforum dot com. David Velasco’s firing is unacceptable and bodes ominously for the future of the magazine. I’m sad it’s come to this but deeply grateful for the extraordinary writers, artists & colleagues I’ve worked with over the past 6 years.

Robert Smithson died 50 years ago today so I’ll reshare my review of his first biography, which is bewildering but kind of brilliant (Smithson would’ve hated it). artforum.com/books/resurrect…

Comedic performer Dynasty Handbag’s “Titanic Depression,” like the unfolding Titan fiasco, enacts a psychoanalytic insight: that the Real can never be retrieved but rather must be traumatically repeated. artforum.com/performance/dyn…
