In a way, that’s a good description of how we put the exhibition together. There are many interconnected parts creating multiple storylines, which I think is much more how most artists work or at least how I work. Interviews are more about answers, and art is at its most interesting when it’s opening up new and old questions.
Paul Stephens has a hard time getting past Christopher Wool’s text paintings, which came up precisely because they aren’t in Wool’s current show, See Stop Run, but his Bomb Magazine interview with the artist is still interesting.
One of the more interesting topics are the typeface-based abstract illustrations images Wool contributed to What Just Happend, Richard Hell’s 2023 book of poetry and writing. It’s one of several collaborations Wool and Hell have made, and relates to some of Wool’s ULAE prints going back almost a decade.
Yo, Bomb says See Stop Run goes until “the end of July,” the 31st, but the See Stop Run internet website says it ends the 28th. Don’t get stuck outside, ppl.
