Artist as Editor: Pati Hill
Through Xerox works featuring everyday items such as a comb, a carefully folded pair of men’s trousers, a child’s toy, or a handful of breakfast cereal, Hill undertook a programmatic development of a visual language of domestic labor, reclaiming the interior, private realm of women’s housework for public viewing.

Mother Is a Woman: Jes Fan
In Jes Fan’s treatment of melanin, the biological pigment responsible for color in human hair and skin is artificially grown in a laboratory. The organic pigment, once separated from the human body, appears tepid and unassuming as a solitary substance
CONVERSATIONS
Beyond Latin America, The Perpetual Quest for Specificity: Gabriel Kuri
I first came across the work of Gabriel Kuri during the 5th Berlin Biennale in 2008. The work’s dry, humorous, and practical application of Minimalism intrigued me. Since I moved to Mexico City in 2012, we have entered into an intermittent exchange about art history, in particular sculpture, whenever we find ourselves in the same town. The extent of his knowledge and awareness of Western as well as Latin American art history never ceases to surprise me. I rarely walk away from a conversation with him without learning something. Additionally, his survey sorted, resorted at WIELS, Brussels (September 2019–January 2020) makes it clear that his work is more relevant than ever, obviously influential for a whole host of artists working today.
