Curated by Andy Jacob, a teacher and former deputy curator of Trinidad and Tobago’s National Museum and Art Gallery, the five featured artists were Kofi Kayiga (b. 1943) and Roberta Stoddart (b. 1963)—who have a Jamaican background—alongside Chris Ofili (b. 1968), Rex Dixon (b. 1939), and Peter Doig (b. 1959), who are originally from the United Kingdom. Revisiting the approach taken to curating this group of foreign artists involves looking at the conditions of production and reception for this art and, more generally, for art in the Caribbean, during the first decade of the millennium. Reflecting on this period from a present-day perspective allows A Suitable Distance to be historicized as a millennial approach to curatorial projects that engage with both the global art world and the Caribbean’s local art world, and allows us to assess the geographical and metaphorical distances between them as well as their intersections. The conclusions encourage the continued foregrounding of critical frameworks of analysis and the problematizing of the terms of visibility and success that surround contemporary art and art communities of the Caribbean.","PeriodicalId":45681,"journal":{"name":"ART JOURNAL","volume":"81 1","pages":"39 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45108168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile Cahun and Moore’s artworks also circulated underground in Timtum: A Trans Jew Zine, where activist artist Micah Bazant celebrated Cahun as an anti-fascist trans artist who lived a gendered embodiment as yet unnamed. Investigating this understudied history as cross-temporal “touch” whereby Cahun and Moore’s work influenced the shape of politicized trans nonbinary identities, this essay considers Cahun’s gender nonconformity both within their own historical context and within ours. I argue that not only did Cahun and Moore live trans lives, but that their artwork explicitly opposed the medical and psychological discourses of their era which sought to find the “truth” of binary gender inside the bodies and minds of trans and intersex subjects. Working at the limits of photographic indexicality in order to point to the limits of the body’s indexicality, they theorized trans embodiment as an evasion of chronobiopolitical legibility. These conclusions shed new light on contemporary exhibitions in which Cahun and Moore’s work stands for the gender freedoms protected by the liberal nation state.","PeriodicalId":45681,"journal":{"name":"ART JOURNAL","volume":"81 1","pages":"53 - 69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41637784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

J. Demos, Emily Eliza Scott, and Subhankar Banerjee, is a stunning achievement. It brings together fifty-five contributors from diverse backgrounds—including the Cherokee Nation, Lebanon, and South Africa—to think through climate-change-themed art and visual culture from regions ranging from Chiapas to Hong Kong. No comparable volume exists; as the editors point out, “within the environmental humanities . . . the visual arts are seldom foregrounded and sometimes sidelined,” while “art history as a discipline has . . . been slow in considering ecology and related environmental studies” (2). This achievement emerges at a curious impasse: climate change has advanced so as to become palpable to even the most privileged, while public responses—where they exist—often seem crushingly inadequate. Art and visual culture seem both necessary and dubious in this moment. To begin with, “climate change . . . presents profound representational dilemmas” (2) because of its lifetime-exceeding timescales but also because evidence of its violence regularly gets hidden, manipulated, or managed. As Caroline A. Jones points out in her chapter, “Atmospheres and the Anthropogenic ImageBind,” “idealistic images (the volunteer helping the oil-covered shore bird) were actively produced” by BP in the period after its Deepwater Horizon disaster, “as the corporation tripled its advertising budget” (247). In such a context, art and visual culture can function to reveal or counter-represent— though usually on much smaller budgets, if any. And yet such functions may prove to be a trap; images of climate disaster, particularly the more spectacular, can, as Birgit Schneider points out, “immobilize observers and put them in a state of sublime amazement” (271) rather than fomenting action. Further, those “representational dilemmas” may in fact be moot, given the aforementioned palpability of climate change: as contributor Sarah Kanouse narrates, “A few years ago, artists","PeriodicalId":45681,"journal":{"name":"ART JOURNAL","volume":"81 1","pages":"114 - 116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42480321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1859–1948)—known as Mahatma Gandhi and Bapu (father), a sobriquet that refers to his status as father of the Indian nation—led nonviolent resistance movements against British colonial rule in India. Discourses on peace and developmental studies dominate Gandhian studies, the field of intellectual inquiry that investigates Gandhi’s political activism, his philosophy, and his critique of industrial colonial capitalism. Venugopal Maddipati’s Gandhi and Architecture is a much-needed book that fills a lacuna in the scholarship at the intersection of Gandhian thought and architectural discourses. The material genesis of Gandhian architecture in colonial India in the 1930s was Gandhi’s hut known as Adi Niwas, which the British spiritualist Madeliene Slade (1892– 1982) constructed in Segaon, a village in the Wardha district in the present-day state of Maharashtra in western India. Using Adi Niwas as a starting point, Maddipati investigates the subsequent cultural, ideological, ecological, and technological appropriations of Gandhi’s hut, both as an abstract idea and as a material artifact in the arena of low-cost housing. The artifactual manifestations of Gandhi’s hut covered in the book are the following: Adi Niwas (occupied by Gandhi in 1936) and Bapu Kuti, both in Segaon village in British India; the replica of Bapu Kuti in the International Exhibition on Low-Cost Housing in New Delhi, in independent India in 1954; Charles Correa’s generative modular housing framework at the Artistes’ Village in Belapur (1983–86), Navi Mumbai, in the state of Maharashtra; architectural prototypes (1978–98) by the Centre of Science for Villages (CSV) in Wardha City, Wardha District, Maharashtra; and finally, CSV’s forty houses built in the Wagdara village for the Kolam Samaj, an Adivasi (Aborigine) community in Wardha district. A first glance at the table of contents suggests that these five architectural registers may present a chronological narrative of the legacy of the Gandhian hut, but on closer reading it is obvious that Maddipati has carefully chosen these reimaginations of Gandhi’s hut at specific moments of crises and transition in Indian and world histories. These five architectural events are not presented in a linear narrative. Beginning in the 1930s, the book covers a time period of seventy-seven years, encompassing turning points not only in India’s history but also geopolitically transformative events. These critical moments include Indian independence and the partition of the Indian subcontinent into the nation-states of India and Pakistan in 1947; Gandhi’s assassination in 1948; India’s adoption of secularism, socialism, and Soviet-style modernization; the OPEC oil crises in 1973; and India’s transformation from a Nehruvia","PeriodicalId":45681,"journal":{"name":"ART JOURNAL","volume":"81 1","pages":"123 - 125"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49093046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

IIH patients with visual decline usually undergo evaluation and initial management through the emergency department (ED) and commonly have a long hospital stay due to the lack of a dedicated methodology for evaluation and management, particularly in patients who present with visual loss (i.e., fulminant IIH). An innovative practice approach is needed to improve the means of multidisciplinary communication in care and evaluation of IIH patients. This paper aims to discuss the need for the development and implementation of a multidisciplinary \"fast-track\" strategy for the evaluation and management of patients with fulminant IIH or those with a suboptimal response to maximum tolerated medical treatment at risk for visual loss.
