Hyperallergic: Art Movements

One of Antony Gormley’s “Another Place” figures following the recent vandalism (photo by @chris_henry_photos/Instagram)

Art Movements is a weekly collection of news, developments, and stirrings in the art world. Subscribe to receive these posts as a weekly newsletter.

The iconic Grand Al-Nuri Mosque in Mosul, Iraq, and its distinctive “hunchback” minaret, were destroyed during the Battle of Mosul. Iraqi and US officials blamed ISIS; the terror group blamed US forces.

Leonardo DiCaprio has handed over paintings by Picasso and Basquiat that were given to him by a financier involved in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad fund scandal to the US Justice Department. Authorities in the US are hoping to recover some $540 million they claim were stolen from the fund.

Antony Gormley’s outdoor installation of life-size human figures on a beach in Liverpool, “Another Place” (1997), was painted with colorful swimsuits by an anonymous artist. Several were tagged with the name “Mokie.” One was also inscribed with the phrase, “I am art.” Gormley has requested that the sculptures’ new and unsanctioned paint jobs be removed.

Three men were charged with selling $400,000 worth of fake Damien Hirst prints. One of them, Vincent Lopreto, was recently arrested in New Orleans and had previously served time in prison in New York for selling forged Hirst works. He faces up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted this time.

Over 75 Nazi artifacts were discovered by Argentine police during a raid on a collector’s home in suburban Buenos Aires. The objects were stored in a secret room hidden behind a bookcase.

Thieves stole artworks worth $12 million from a storage unit in Sunnyside, Queens, including pieces by Frank Stella and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

On June 13, nearly every employee of the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art — five full-time staff members, at least two part-time workers, and seven contract workers — resigned in protest of alleged mismanagement by the institution’s executive director, David Dadone.

The Irish artist Richard Mosse says he was arrested by Greek police while observing an anti-refugee rally on the island of Chios. He was released after being held overnight at a local jail.

Shortly after it was installed outside Cairo’s opera house, a sculpture of Marilyn Monroe by artist Ehab Al Asiouty became the subject of widespread ridicule, with many likening it to Seward Johnson’s infamous “Forever Marilyn.”

A local MP in Dover has filed an application for listed building status for the structure where Banksy recently painted his “Brexit” mural; the building had been slated for demolition to make way for an urban renewal project.

The charity Art UK plans to create an online database for all 170,000 public sculptures in the UK by 2020.

New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a plan to add a glass curtain wall to the Brutalist addition at the back of the Brooklyn Museum.

Norway’s government abandoned “Memory Wound,” a long-planned memorial by artist Jonas Dahlber to the victims of the 2011 massacre on the island of Utøya, due to opposition and a lawsuit from local residents.

Transactions

The Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros will donate 119 works to five museums: 83 pieces will go to the Blanton Museum of Art, 25 to the Denver Art Museum; the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston will receive seven; the Hispanic Society Museum & Library will receive an 18th-century armchair; and the Museo de Arte de Lima will receive a portrait painting by Jose Gil de Castro y Morales.

Philanthropist David Rubenstein donated $18.5 million to the National Park foundation for a major renovation of the Lincoln Memorial.

Dr. Dre will donate $10 million for a performing arts complex at the new Compton High School.

The Albright-Knox Art Gallery revealed details of its forthcoming, $80-million expansion.

The Anderson Collection at Stanford University was gifted 13 works for its permanent collection by Bill Jensen, Manuel Neri, and Mary Weatherford.

The Cleveland Museum of Art acquired 11 works, including a nearly 14-foot-wide photograph by Richard Mosse, three Japanese porcelain dishes from the Edo period, and a limestone statue of Saint John the Baptist by Jan Crocq from around 1500.

The National Lottery has given London’s National Portrait Gallery £9.4 million (~$11.9 million) toward its planned, £35.5 million (~$45 million) development project.

The Pinakothek der Moderne has acquired five works by Anselm Kiefer.

The Frick Pittsburgh adopted a five-year strategic plan and acquired three new pieces for its collection.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art acquired new works, including contemporary video art, 18th-century American decorative art, and a stained-glass window from 16th-century France.

The Corning Museum of Glass established the David Whitehouse Artist Residency for Research, which will welcome its first resident in 2018.

The Yale Center for British Art acquired Yinka Shonibare MBE’s sculpture “Mrs Pinckney and the Emancipated Birds of South Carolina” (2017).

Transitions

The Alice Austen House on Staten Island was designated a landmark for LGBTQ history. Austen lived there for decades with her longtime partner Gertrude Tate.

ABC No Rio completed the demolition of its former building. The pioneering art space plans to build a new home on the now-empty lot at 156 Rivington Street.

Twenty-three new sites were added to the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves, while the United States withdrew 17 sites from the program.

Sylvie Patry will leave her post as the chief curator at the Barnes Foundation to become the deputy director for curatorial affairs and collections at the Musée d’Orsay.

Lower East Side gallery Envoy Enterprises will close on August 4.

Ireland’s National College of Art and Design appointed Sarah Glennie — currently the director of the Irish Museum of Modern Art — to be its new director.

Jonathon Glus was hired to lead the Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission.

Word Find (I'm a Hack and a Fraud edition)

@rosiewritesandrambles tagged me to find smoke, tart, crunch, and fossil!

Smoke

A chill rushed through Hye’s body. Black smoke poured from his skin, his pores opening to release it. The heavy smoke coiled into a snake, untouched by all light except its dim violet glow. Two solid purple eyes stared at him. I won’t be [long]. Nox coiled around the branch and slithered to the trunk. Hye watched until he couldn’t detect the shadow anymore.

Tart Start (i know it's not actually similar to tart but i dont describe flavor much bc im a Hack and a Fraud)

“What am I supposed to do?”

“It starts with a ‘D’ and ends with ‘ivorce and custody agreement.’”

Crunch Scrunch (ok i must be a hack and a fraud bc HOW HAVE I NOT USED CRUNCH IT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE WORDS)

Come on! Rosie begged herself. Instead, she scrunched her face, clenched harder, felt hot tears collect in the corners of her eyes. She’ll never do anything for you again if you don’t open your eyes! Come on!

Fossil

i don't have this one either im a hack and a fraud

I tag: @zmlorenz @drippingmoon and @diphthongsfordays to find hack, fraud, imposter, and wink

#tag game #tag game: word find #i just want to clarify that i am 90% joking #but i did also only get reminded of the word 'taunt' as an alternative to 'mock' because of the sonic 2 trailer #so #tcoh #dedrick warflash #aussie king #seward j dean #rose king #tcoh excerpts

Flash Fiction Friday: Ruined and Destroyed

@flashfictionfridayofficial

WIP: The Curse of Hyetal #1: The Lost Empire

POV: Seward J. Dean

WC: 989

Possible warnings: burned bodies, bomb mention

Eyyy this was fun!! My first Flash Fiction Friday y'all!! And it's not from Dedrick or Rose's point of view! Kind of because if I DID use their point of view my only option is.........spoilers

The Bax Cola Explosion

The abandoned Bax Cola factory has exploded, and Seward is in charge of the investigation. What he finds turns a tragedy into a vendetta.

“I didn’t know this place was here.”

The Bax Cola factory closed twenty years ago when some soda company in Ikkezar bought out the company and moved all its production to the Kingdoms. Officer Beltran sat in the passenger seat next to Seward, staring in awe at the burned husk of a factory.

Seward mumbled some nonspecific “Neither did I” lie as he navigated his truck through the thick crowd of reporters and nosy onlookers. With any luck, one would get run over and finally leave their investigations alone.

Reporters swarmed the Enforcement officers as they climbed out of the truck. Namely, they swarmed Seward. He was Reigner Langley’s right hand. Seward basically did his job for him.

“Who do you believe was behind this?”

“Is this a terrorist attack?”

“Was it rosers?”

Dumb, fear-mongering questions bombarded Seward, but luckily, he wasn’t stuck. “No comment,” he declared loudly. He activated his Trick, carefully allowing the soles of his feet to be solid so he didn’t have to worry about falling into Salren’s core. He walked right through them, like a ghost.

Beltran stumbled through a moment later, fixing his hair. “That’s a handy trick you got there,” he huffed.

“Should’a got yours when you had the chance,” Seward said, ducking under the perimeter tape. Beltran laughed, but Seward was serious. Intangibility was the most useful thing he could have gotten. Seward never had to worry about being locked out of anywhere or surrounded by blood-thirsty reporters. The Goddess knew exactly what she was doing when she granted him his Trick.

Funny, what was her name again?

It didn’t matter anymore. Ashor closed ten years ago.

Firefighters jogged around the smoldering factory. They contained the fire pretty well: Floods doused flames, Blazes willed fire to die, and earth-Terras smothered whatever was left. Beltran, a Jewel, probably would have been safe going into the building with Seward, but Seward didn’t want to risk the place toppling onto him.

Frost collected on Seward’s clothes, forming a protective barrier. “I want statements,” he said, glancing at their reinforcements. “Figure out who saw what.”

Beltran, being one of Seward’s most trusted officers, nodded dutifully. Seward climbed into the rubble. The firefighters knew better than to stop him.

The place stank with hot metal and burning rubble. Seward pressed his sleeve to his nose as he carefully made his way under crooked doorways and creaking columns. Ahead, he saw the reflective coat of the fire captain, crouching over…

“Gele Grace,” Seward groaned.

Three bodies. Charred. Unidentifiable without extensive testing. They were lined up too perfectly for them to have been alive when the place went up. This wasn’t the first time a burning building ended up with three victims. If he was right, then at least two of them would have broken throats and broken legs.

Captain grimaced behind his soot mask, his yellow eyes glowing through. He guided Seward toward cleared section of rubble. “Bombs set the place off,” he said, gesturing to the scorch marks. “Unless one of these was a Blaze, I don’t see how any one of them could’ve set them off.”

“Any chance more fire was made by a Blaze?” asked Seward. “Any flammable material?”

“When the structure’s more sound, I’ll have my people do some testing,” said Captain.

“Great,” muttered Seward, his eyes falling on the victims again. The one in the middle bothered him. In every one of the similar cases, one had been a kid. A teenager. They all reminded Seward of Aussie’s kids.

There wasn’t much left to see. Everything had been burned good. Seward climbed out of the factory. Officer Kraft waited for him outside. “Well?”

“Three victims,” Seward said. “One young.”

Kraft sighed, shaking his head. “This is the Jensen boy all over again,” he said, scratching his stubbly face. Worry filled his eyes. Like he was scared one day he’d come to another burned building with three bodies and find out that the youngest one is Harmony, his daughter.

Seward wasn’t much for sympathy when it came to Kraft. The guy was dim and shouldn’t have become an Enfo, but that was Langley’s decision. “It’s The Host,” he said, keeping his voice low.

“I don’t think it could be anything else,” Kraft said.

Kraft had been investigating this for years, but hardly made any headway. Didn’t have an idea about where they were going next, even though the pattern has been consistent. Seward couldn’t do anything about it. The only thing Seward didn’t have control of was Langley.

Seward didn’t have time to investigate himself, what with basically running an Empire while his lazy boss tried on fine suits, laughed with his friends, and ignored his sons, even his surrogate sons. Not that Seward was bitter.

Seward left Kraft to stare off, pulling out his phone. If there was one woman who could do a better job than Kraft, well…

“Hey, Aus,” Seward said once the line clicked. Aussie grumbled sleepily on the line, which was odd, considering it was eight and Aussie woke up at five. “I need a favor.”

“What kind?” Aussie kept his voice low.

“Bezarago,” Seward named. “I have this case—”

“Can’t do it,” said Aussie, a door shutting behind him. Seward frowned. “She…she died yesterday. The hurricane. We’re in the Isles.”

Seward’s heart fell. “Shit,” he whispered, which was basically I’m sorry in Seward.

“I’ll be back in a week. We’ll…we’ll talk then.” Aussie hung up.

Seward stared at the factory’s remains, strangely relieved. At least it’s not Clove, Rose, or Lily. He wouldn’t know what Aussie would do if one of them died. Didn’t know what he would do. They were his niece and nephew, after all.

His phone rang again, and as the missing children report came through, his stomach dropped. Eric and Maggie Beltran. Neither of them were in their beds, and their father, interviewing firefighters fifty feet to Seward’s right, had no idea.
