The Friezes of Bob Clyatt

This “Word” from the Bible translation came from the original Greek term, “Logos”, in earlier manuscripts. For much of the world today, this term, “Logos”, through which “all things are made” is a different entity entirely.

MIRE was a day-long festival of site-specific performance art organized by PULSAR Performance Projects on July 22, 2017 at Rosekill, an offshoot of Grace Exhibition Space located in Rosendale, NY. Arcade Project was in attendance and had an opportunity to speak with Tif Robinette, one of the event’s organizers and participants.

I had the pleasure of meeting Betty and discovering her work through two group shows we were in this past year, Smile at Shin Gallery’s Project Space and Beyond Secretary at Mark Borghi Fine Arts, both curated by Jenny Mushkin Goldman. The fact that I was unaware of this genius either proved to be a lapse in my art world intelligence or demonstrated something ubiquitous to Betty’s career. Betty has been fighting a long-game battle against both censorship and society’s expectations.

The exhibition at the Park Ave Armory marks the inauguration of the Spring edition of TEFAF New York 2017, the annual venerable fair well-known in the art industry throughout Europe held annually in Maastricht since 1988 (the non-profit also publishes one of the most important art market reports on an annual basis).

Wow, Frieze New York: is 2017 your year or what?

You came out of the gate like nothing else mattered, rising to the top like the art world Seabiscuit.

With semiannual editions in London and New York, 1:54 is the leading international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.
