RAIMUND ABRAHAM (1933-2010)

by Lebbeus Woods, Peter Noever, and Massimo Scolari

Art

Raimund Abraham was the architectural conscience of our time. His words and his works insisted on a humanist basis of architecture, one rooted equally in the abstract inventions of the mind and the sensuous materiality of the body.

A SALUTE TO MARINA ABRAMOVIĆ

by Carol Becker, Kate Gilmore, and Tehching .

Art

In Marina Abramović’s current retrospective at MoMA, Abramović performs every day, all day, for the entire duration of the exhibit. Visitors are invited to sit with the artist, across a table and stare into her eyes. I have already seen this exhibit three times and will surely go again, but I will not sit with Abramović.

A SALUTE TO CAROLEE SCHNEEMANN

by Jonas Mekas, Irving Sandler, and Patricia Cronin

Art
