At this year’s @venice.art.biennale, artists are using #creative ways to drive home the urgency of #climatechange and #sustainability. Among the highlights is #MarinaAbramović, NA: Rising. 💦Her first #VR project invites users to experience rising #sealevels by visualizing what it is like to be submerged in water. The audience walks into the dimly lit #installation, which has a layer of water hovering above the ceiling. After donning VR headsets in a small room, they are transported into what appears to be an abandoned warehouse, where an avatar of Abramović is standing in a water tank. 💧Water is filling up fast and the #artist is crying for help while explaining the impact of #globalwarming. 💦🌏

The reasons why everyone from Beyoncé to #Drake loves artist James Turrell, NA 🙌🏽⚡️
▪️He was a #pioneer of the 1960's light and space movement 💫
▪️He wants to create America's own #stonehenge.🌪 ”The Roden Crater Project” (1972) is an extinct volcano in the desert near Flagstaff, Arizona, that the artist has been transforming into a series of rooms and tunnels since the 1970s. Just like the ancient Stonehenge, the space will operate as a sanctuary for stargazing and celestial contemplation. ✨
▪️He was into sensory deprivation before it was a wellness trend. For “Akhob” (2013), Turrell created a walk-in light environment 🌟 for French fashion house Louis Vuitton in which viewers could experience the ganzfeld effect ✨
▪️Drake, #kanyewest , and #Beyonce are all fans. Last week Kanye donated 🤑 $10 million to his unfinished “Roden Crater”
▪️Some of his works are so intense they require you to sign a waiver. 🖊 “Perceptual Cells” (1989) is an ongoing series which sees viewers isolated in an elevated pod that is flooded with light.💡Viewers need to sign a paper confirming they aren’t epileptic before entering the cell, and must choose between a hard or a soft version of the experience. 💡✨

Who Gets to Be American? 🤔🇺🇸Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom From Want, Freedom From Fear—are some of the most iconic visual representations of the American idea. But they were always more aspiration than reality. One gap was obvious to artist Hank Willis Thomas, NA and photographer @emilyshur: though the originals contain a relatively large cast of characters—including representations of #Protestantism, #Catholicism and #Judaism in the “Freedom of Worship” tableau—that group barely brushes against the depth of #diversity. So #hankwillisthomas and Shur set out to address that problem, with a new project that aims to capture the magic of these images while filling in that particular blank. Their reinterpretation of “Freedom of Worship” fronts our new cover package about what it means to be #American, including an essay by Viet Thanh Nguyen, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author who was born in Vietnam and raised in America, on "what it means to love my country, no matter how it feels about me." 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸

CONGRATULATIONS to the #nationalacademician Class of 2018 🏆👏🏼, the fifth largest in our history, joining more than 420 living members, with over 2,300 elected since our founding! 📜✔️The induction ceremony + party was BLAST!💃🏻🕺🏾⭐️ Becoming a National Academician is one of the highest honors 🏆 in #AmericanArt and #architecture and cannot be applied for or solicited. In a tradition dating back to 1825, current members confidentially nominate and elect a new class each year, honoring the group’s remarkable contributions to the canon and story of American art.
🗣 #NationalAcademicians serve as ambassadors for the arts in America. They show work in our exhibitions, foster the next generation through our educational programs, and, in keeping with an almost 200-year-old tradition, contribute a work to our collection. 🖼 The NAD permanent collection of nearly 8,000 works—unlike any other in the United States, shaped by the National Academician members themselves—represents one of the nation’s most significant holdings of American art and architecture. 🏆🏆🏆 Please join us in congratulating this incredible group!👇🏽👇🏽

#ChristianMarclay, NA: The Clock receives its Tate Modern premiere 📽- Ahead of its showing, the artist spoke about the 24-hour work-in-real-time – widely acknowledged as a video art masterpiece. ✨ ‘I think we’ve become extremely impatient’, says Marclay, recalling his experience of seeing La Région centrale in the ’70s. ‘It was really pleasant – it’s almost like a clock mechanism in a weird way, but it’s not specifically about time.’ ⏰📽🧐

#JoanJonas, NA, one of the most important American artists to emerge in the late '60s and early '70s has taken over the @tate with a headline performance. 💥🎥 She will restage historic works as her retrospective spills out of the galleries and reaches the banks of the River Thames. Joan is always moving back and forth and remaking, rearranging, so there’s this live culture that’s inherent to how she thinks. Now in her 80s, Jonas reflects on her boundary-breaking career. 😍👊🏼

One of the world’s most influential modernists, Israeli-Canadian architect #MosheSafdie, NA, is known for his environmentally-ambitious projects and bold forms. ▫️⬛️ He ponders on his own legacy and that of his #Habitat67, the designs that will never be built, and what he believes has made his work so timeless. 🕰
As part of the #TimeSpaceExistence series, @plane_site interviewed Safdie. @safdiearchitects 💬
"As an architect committed to building and impacting the environment, to design without the intention of building is a failure, by definition, because it’s not architecture. For those who design in order to build, not succeeding in building is not a failure – there are different reasons why things don’t get built, but they form a fascinating track through one’s thoughts and career.” 💬👊🏼
