KQED","labelTerm":{"term":140,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>“Please don’t ask me to explain them,” Dorothea Tanning \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92LvYigLMLc\">once said\u003c/a> of her paintings. “I just don’t think it’s possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tanning, who died in 2012 at the age of 101, had a career in the arts that spanned several movements, but Surrealism was always close to her heart. She was working as a commercial artist in New York when the Museum of Modern Art mounted its influential 1936 exhibition \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/2823\">Fantastic Art, Dada and Surrealism\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, a show that had a lasting impact on the young painter’s aesthetic interests and style. She would become known, for the next seven decades, for her figurative paintings, which often portrayed women and girls navigating labyrinths of doorways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='arts_13956354']Tanning’s love of Surrealism was also personal. Her introduction to the circle of émigré Surrealists in New York segued into a 30-year marriage to the German painter and sculptor Max Ernst. Tanning too experimented with sculpture, as well as writing fiction and \u003ca href=\"https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/dorothea-tanning\">poetry\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a 2018 retrospective that traveled from Madrid’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.museoreinasofia.es/en/exhibitions/dorothea-tanning\">Museo Reina Sofía\u003c/a> to London’s Tate Modern, Tanning’s latest posthumous exhibition is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.gallerywendinorris.com/exhibitions-collection/dorothea-tanning-musical-chairs\">Musical Chairs\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, at Gallery Wendi Norris in San Francisco. The show, which includes a handful of works by Tanning alongside real chairs (not made by Tanning), centers on the exhibition’s namesake, a painting that’s on view for the first time in the United States in over 70 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 1951 canvas shows a female figure bent in a contortionist’s pose as she slides off the red velvet upholstery of a tilting chair. The background is a torrent of yellow and green fabric, another chair partially obscured. While essentially Surrealist, the picture also boasts elements of Futurism — a movement that preceded Surrealism and prioritized capturing a sense of motion — and even Cubism, the crumpled fabric evoking a sense of fractured space. Perpetual motion and shifting vantages would remain hallmarks of the painter’s career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956509\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"Painting of two figures pushing against central door with hands and feet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956509\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy.jpeg 1280w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dorothea Tanning, ‘Door 84,’ 1984; oil on canvas with found door. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Destina Foundation)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The broad range of influences on Tanning’s practice are even more apparent in the juxtaposition of \u003cem>Musical Chairs\u003c/em> with \u003cem>Door 84\u003c/em>, which Tanning painted 33 years later in 1984. The piece consists of two canvases bisected by a wooden door protruding vertically from the wall. Each canvas contains a colorful, expressionistic rendering of a female figure straining to keep the door closed from either side. The diptych merges assemblage, an Abstract Expressionist painting style and Pop sensibilities, something like a hybrid of Jasper Johns, Joan Mitchell and Lisa Yuskavage.

Her introduction to the circle of émigré Surrealists in New York segued into a 30-year marriage to the German painter and sculptor Max Ernst. Tanning too experimented with sculpture, as well as writing fiction and \u003ca href=\"https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/dorothea-tanning\">poetry\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a 2018 retrospective that traveled from Madrid’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.museoreinasofia.es/en/exhibitions/dorothea-tanning\">Museo Reina Sofía\u003c/a> to London’s Tate Modern, Tanning’s latest posthumous exhibition is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.gallerywendinorris.com/exhibitions-collection/dorothea-tanning-musical-chairs\">Musical Chairs\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, at Gallery Wendi Norris in San Francisco.

The background is a torrent of yellow and green fabric, another chair partially obscured. While essentially Surrealist, the picture also boasts elements of Futurism — a movement that preceded Surrealism and prioritized capturing a sense of motion — and even Cubism, the crumpled fabric evoking a sense of fractured space. Perpetual motion and shifting vantages would remain hallmarks of the painter’s career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956509\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1280px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy.jpeg\" alt=\"Painting of two figures pushing against central door with hands and feet\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956509\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy.jpeg 1280w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Door-84-UNCROPPED-copy-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dorothea Tanning, ‘Door 84,’ 1984; oil on canvas with found door. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of The Destina Foundation)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The broad range of influences on Tanning’s practice are even more apparent in the juxtaposition of \u003cem>Musical Chairs\u003c/em> with \u003cem>Door 84\u003c/em>, which Tanning painted 33 years later in 1984.

Set during a qualifying match at the New Rochelle Tennis Club, outside New York City, the intricately woven story reveals itself through flashbacks that build to a crescendo in the present-day match.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13955729']O’Connor’s Patrick and Faist’s Art are old boarding school roommates turned tennis teammates. It’s a relationship that’s at turns brotherly, erotic and competitive. Whatever it is, they are definitely too close and not remotely prepared for Zendaya’s Tashi Duncan to enter the mix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tashi, in high school, is well on her way to becoming the next big tennis superstar. Art and Patrick watch her play, mouths agape at her technical form and physical beauty. Later, they both ask for her number, leading to a revealing night in a grungy hotel room. She promises her number to the one who wins the singles match the next day. Tashi just wants to see some good tennis, she says, but she also knows how to motivate and manipulate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the fractured timeline, we know that Tashi in the present day does not play tennis anymore. She was injured at some point and never recovered, unlike her husband, Art, who is now one of the most famous players in the world. The two of them are wildly wealthy, living in a ritzy hotel and fronting Aston Martin ad campaigns. At night, Tashi uses Augustinus Bader cream to moisturize her legs. Guadagnino, who likes to wink at and luxuriate in wealth signifiers, enlisted JW Anderson designer Jonathan Anderson to do the costumes, which will surely populate summer style inspiration boards the way his \u003cem>A Bigger Splash\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Call Me By Your Name\u003c/em> have in the past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13956480']But while they are technically at the top, Art is also on a losing streak, so Tashi sends him to a low-stakes tournament where he can get his confidence back. That’s where they encounter Patrick, who has not been so fortunate over the years and who has fallen out with his old friends.

From a contemporary artist’s perspective, working and making art in the United States is a bleak, sometimes impossible balance.

I’m a contemporary artist and have been living off of Medicaid, food stamps, and $20k annually since graduating from art school five years ago.” The essay, which ends with Wilson ostensibly exiting the art world for the film industry, has been going somewhat viral since it was published.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much artists should be paid for their work — or their participation in shows — is very much part of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/03/13/how-much-should-museums-pay-artists#\">contemporary conversation\u003c/a> around artists’ economic prospects. But museums often appear to operate outside of commercial reality — a useful, if fictional vantage point from which to consider these questions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rarely, the wall text points out, do artists’ biographies include information about how they’ve supported themselves. By adding this information back into the narrative surrounding well-known artists, the show models how we might remove associations of shame and disgrace from the subject. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The premise of \u003ci>Day Jobs\u003c/i> is important and interesting, but it’s only a step in the right direction.

From a contemporary artist’s perspective, working and making art in the United States is a bleak, sometimes impossible balance. In an \u003ca href=\"https://thebaffler.com/odds-and-ends/its-not-what-the-world-needs-right-now-norman-wilson\">entertainingly raw piece\u003c/a> published this month in The Baffler, artist Andrew Norman Wilson recounts the past eight years of his career: “It’s 2016. I’m a contemporary artist and have been living off of Medicaid, food stamps, and $20k annually since graduating from art school five years ago.” The essay, which ends with Wilson ostensibly exiting the art world for the film industry, has been going somewhat viral since it was published.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How much artists should be paid for their work — or their participation in shows — is very much part of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.theartnewspaper.com/2024/03/13/how-much-should-museums-pay-artists#\">contemporary conversation\u003c/a> around artists’ economic prospects. But museums often appear to operate outside of commercial reality — a useful, if fictional vantage point from which to consider these questions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rarely, the wall text points out, do artists’ biographies include information about how they’ve supported themselves. By adding this information back into the narrative surrounding well-known artists, the show models how we might remove associations of shame and disgrace from the subject. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The premise of \u003ci>Day Jobs\u003c/i> is important and interesting, but it’s only a step in the right direction. Thirty of the 36 artists in the show were born before 1980.

He had admitted shooting his neighbor, Morris Black, in 2001 but was acquitted by a jury on a theory of self-defense. For reasons known only to himself, Durst chose to live out his life as an ultrawealthy real estate tycoon, but also to sit for long interviews with director Andrew Jarecki for \u003cem>The Jinx \u003c/em>to discuss the alleged crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_11299066']These interviews were what made \u003cem>The Jinx \u003c/em>so compelling.

The day before the finale aired, Durst was arrested for the murder of Berman, based in part on evidence that the documentarians had uncovered and provided to law enforcement.

But as television, the biggest problem with the episodes HBO provided to critics (four out of what will eventually be six) is that they’re pretty boring. Without Durst’s involvement (it seems that he finally stopped participating in documentary-making after he was arrested and died shortly after his conviction), the series often seems to be grasping for revelations. It’s also heavily reliant on reenactments, which aren’t particularly visually interesting and look a lot like every other true-crime reenactment on TV.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postid='arts_13955854']The third episode is the best of the four; without spoiling it, it sheds a bit of additional light on the back story, if you’re still looking for it.

We watch their (apparent) relief and gratitude when the “confession” is played.

But as television, the biggest problem with the episodes HBO provided to critics (four out of what will eventually be six) is that they’re pretty boring. Without Durst’s involvement (it seems that he finally stopped participating in documentary-making after he was arrested and died shortly after his conviction), the series often seems to be grasping for revelations.

(You may find yourself developing a different relationship to your phone during this show.) On the exhibition’s largest screen, a looping video cycles through several days in a CG marshland, frogs bobbing between air and water, one jumping onto the back of a plane before it flies off. Large-scale, wonderfully textured and loopily cartoonish paintings on paper merge all the imagery of the show into surreal depictions of frog eyes, an unfortunate Clippy, office-appropriate pumps and manicured nails. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the back of the gallery, blown glass blobs resembling frog heads are linked with tubes that release atomized scents (“marshy swamp, popcorn, green apple, chainsaw, exhaust, etc.”).

But then it’s serving a kind of ghost population and creating all this toxicity for the real people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video is haunted by circles and spheres. Chemicals depicted as gold balls are pulled out of mouths; other, larger spheres roll eerily across emptied-out architectural spaces. A woman lectures fellow workers about “circular economics” as they spin their pens. Throughout, heightened sound effects and pop songs lend the entire video a jokey edge that keeps viewers entranced, chuckling with both delight and discomfort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956242\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Two hands with green nails hold open a book against red surface\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956242\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Book_2-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘A BETTER LIFE FOR THE WORKERS (I),’ 2021.

A few hours later, her best friend forever, Lucy Chase, was found wandering the town streets covered in blood.

Unfortunately, truth doesn’t matter much to the residents of Plumpton, who long ago made up their minds about a young woman whose persona chafes against their ideas of femininity. Fortunately, by the time you meet the Plumptonites, you’ll have been mesmerized by Lucy’s hilarious, self-deprecating first-person narration. “It’s probably unfair to say that a podcast ruined my life,” she tells readers, and then, as she talks about making dinner during which she’ll break up with her clueless boyfriend: “Let this be a lesson to all the men out there who can’t handle conflict — man up and dump your girlfriend, or you might end up living with a suspected murder indefinitely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Podcast episodes interspersed between Lucy’s chapters form a clever way for Tintera (already a bestselling YA author; this is her debut for adults) to draw out the suspense. Revealing too much about the other characters might ruin that cleverness, but it’s important to note that even when the story has ended and the murderer found, there are secrets within secrets, the kind that women have long used to protect each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Where You End’ by Abbott Kahler\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956154\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 832px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956154\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM.png\" alt=\"A book cover illustrated with winding bare tree branches and two rabbit masks.\" width=\"832\" height=\"1214\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM.png 832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-800x1167.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-160x233.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-768x1121.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Where You End’ by Abbott Kahler. \u003ccite>(Henry Holt and Co.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Abbott Kahler’s debut centers on a young woman named Katherine “Kat” Bird, who has a near-death experience after her car collides with a deer, and wakes to near-total amnesia.

You’ll be longing at each step to see how much Kat remembers and how much Jude complicates the memories. Each clue (there are few pictures of the sisters together, for example) has a flip side, a structural technique that works particularly well since the book is set in 1970s Philadelphia, with all of that city’s grittiness, community, and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahler based her novel on the real-life story of Alex and Marcus Lewis, 18-year-old British identical twins.

Unfortunately, truth doesn’t matter much to the residents of Plumpton, who long ago made up their minds about a young woman whose persona chafes against their ideas of femininity. Fortunately, by the time you meet the Plumptonites, you’ll have been mesmerized by Lucy’s hilarious, self-deprecating first-person narration. “It’s probably unfair to say that a podcast ruined my life,” she tells readers, and then, as she talks about making dinner during which she’ll break up with her clueless boyfriend: “Let this be a lesson to all the men out there who can’t handle conflict — man up and dump your girlfriend, or you might end up living with a suspected murder indefinitely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Podcast episodes interspersed between Lucy’s chapters form a clever way for Tintera (already a bestselling YA author; this is her debut for adults) to draw out the suspense. Revealing too much about the other characters might ruin that cleverness, but it’s important to note that even when the story has ended and the murderer found, there are secrets within secrets, the kind that women have long used to protect each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘Where You End’ by Abbott Kahler\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13956154\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 832px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13956154\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM.png\" alt=\"A book cover illustrated with winding bare tree branches and two rabbit masks.\" width=\"832\" height=\"1214\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM.png 832w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-800x1167.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-160x233.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/04/Screen-Shot-2024-04-17-at-2.44.04-PM-768x1121.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Where You End’ by Abbott Kahler. \u003ccite>(Henry Holt and Co.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Abbott Kahler’s debut centers on a young woman named Katherine “Kat” Bird, who has a near-death experience after her car collides with a deer, and wakes to near-total amnesia.

Kahler (who has written acclaimed nonfiction as Karen Abbott) constructs a thriller so perfectly paced that you actually will not be able to put it down. You’ll be longing at each step to see how much Kat remembers and how much Jude complicates the memories. Each clue (there are few pictures of the sisters together, for example) has a flip side, a structural technique that works particularly well since the book is set in 1970s Philadelphia, with all of that city’s grittiness, community, and culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kahler based her novel on the real-life story of Alex and Marcus Lewis, 18-year-old British identical twins. In 1982, Alex awoke from a coma following a motorcycle accident and remembered nothing except his brother’s name and face; Marcus decided to use the opportunity to invent new lives for them both.
