Set Margins'
The texts offer amplified meditations on the possibilities—but also defaults and limits—of the studio visit and on how this scene of encounter sets engagements with work that are dialogical and critically robust; respectful but also challenging; full of seeing into and through; and tactically combustible, in the sense of sparking future allusions.

Undertow Notebook
James Horner’s Making of an American Dandy at Amos Eno Gallery looks back across forty years of the artist’s life and practice without tidying the record. The works in the retrospective are bruised and glamorous, horny and grieving, and above all, alive. Horner is a New York-based artist whose practice widens the space for LGBTQ+ life to be seen on its own terms.

This intergenerational dialogue between the work of Jimmy DeSana (b. 1949 – d. 1990) and Paul Mpagi Sepuya (b. 1982) unfolds as a set of carefully matched pairings. Both artists use photography to engage with queer bodies and the politics of representation, implicating the viewer as much as any figure who appears in the frame.

American Pancake
Trigilio is not a creative who stays still but manifests his work in different pools of art that overlap at times, spill into one another. He also is an artist whose work seems to me, to be a mixture of bloodletting and catharsis. And art as a form of emotional purging always raises the bar in terms of art as communal connective tissue.
