The Review Panel, in its last meeting in 2014, took place at the National Academy Museum on November 21. The line up of critics joining moderator David Cohen included veteran Lance Esplund and two newcomers to the program, Sarah Douglas and Edward M. Epstein (in his New York debut; Epstein is a regular of The Review Panel Philadelphia). The exhibitions discussed were “Ragnar Kjartansson and The National: A Lot of Sorrow” at Luhring Augustine Bushwick, “Marina Abramovic: The Generator” at Sean Kelly, “Tommy Hartung: The Bible” at On Stellar Rays, and “Ursula von Rydingsvard: Permeated Shield” at Galerie Lelong.

Robert Gober Special: Dennis Kardon, Steve Locke and Lee Ann Norman

THE EDITORS — Wed, 12 Nov 2014 16:03:35 +0000

artcritical presents three writers’ responses to the exhibition, “Robert Gober: The Heart is not a Metaphor,” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, which runs from October 4, 2014 to January 18, 2015. Lee Ann Norman and Dennis Kardon are regular correspondents at artcritical. Steve Locke, the Boston-based artist, is a guest contributor to this special series. In her review of the concurrent MoMA exhibition of Christopher Williams, Amelia Rina (see links below) offers an extensive comparison of that show with Gober’s. The artist has been the subject of earlier reviews at artcritical: a show at Matthew Marks Gallery was reviewed by David Cohen in 2005, and the same show was discussed at The Review Panel that year, where Cohen’s guests were Robert Storr, Gregory Volk and Karen Wilkin.
