This week’s edition of The Artist’s Edit features a playlist by LaToya Ruby Frazier in honor of May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day. Click the link in the bio to listen to Frazier’s playlist. ⁣
⁣
“This playlist is dedicated to all the essential workers, healthcare workers, the poor, working-class people of this nation and all around the world, to the uninsured, disabled, detained, to the prisoners, to the sick who can't get their medication because politicians and pharmaceutical companies would rather line their pockets, to the elderly abandoned in nursing homes, to all the teachers who have died, to the unclaimed bodies being buried in mass graves, to all those who mourn loved ones taken out by this virus, to the farmworkers that fascist capitalists proclaim that this is not your land when history tells us it rightfully is your land — thank you for feeding this nation during this pandemic and ensuing famine, to the homeless and people in the nation who have no clean water access, or access to water in order to wash your hands, to the climate activists, first nations and indigenous people that continue to take a stand with their bodies on the line against fossil fuel companies that keep polluting and contaminating the earth and water thank you. To the 26.5 million U.S. workers that have filed for unemployment, It is never too late for the people to unite and fight for a more equal, just, humane, and sustainable life.”⁣

With unwavering Solidarity and Love,⁣

Kerstin Brätsch's new series, “Fossil Psychics for Christa,” features brightly-colored, three dimensional stuccos, hovering between the realms of painting and sculpture. Click the link in the bio to explore the new presentation in our Online Viewing Room.⁣
⁣
“I build and shape the stucco works into an image of a body, or an ‘image-corpus’ as I call it, an image of a co**se. From within, the works’ energy emerges, creating the appearance of a de-deadened material. As if something that didn’t have a body has returned to the physical world, fossilised in a new form.” —Kerstin Brätsch, "Kerstin Brätsch in Conversation with Gina Buenfeld," Luncheon N. 9, Spring 2020⁣

"The title of Frida Orupabo’s show at Gavin Brown’s Enterprise, “12 self portraits,” is an intentional misnomer—the sculptural collages that populate the Roman gallery space are not self-portraits, but sourced from an extensive archive of historical photographs. “I don’t use images of me in my collages,” the artist explained in a video on the gallery’s site. “I use other people, but I break it up.” — Artsy

As part of Artsy’s Art Keeps Going campaign, we’re exploring shows that have been impacted by art spaces going dark.
