- Art historian Anna Chave has written extensively about gender, feminism, and the reception and interpretation of art in the 20th century. Author of the instrumental essay “Minimalism and the Rhetoric of Power,” Chave has studied the contours and implications of Minimalism in depth, from how it reached its height during a time of global political unrest in the 1960s, to the men who represented it: Carl Andre, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, and Richard Serra. This lecture is presented on the occasion of Carl Andre: Sculpture as Place, 1958-2010.
Very good talk! Carl Andre is a polarizing (and highly problematic) figure, and Anna Chave managed to give a balanced presentation that articulated the good, bad and the ugly facts about the artist. Bravo!
Genius is be questioned?
Mendieta artist and the other the advent upcoming in early 70's. The painting at Cooper would be suited to the genre presented.
You're hoping all
Almost as humans gone!
What does she think of David Raskin's essay about Donald Judd? I think it was called Specific Opposition.
Carl Andre’s work can also be seen as a kind of working working class statement and as an anti-authority type of statement. One, which, like street art is viewed by the galleries and the artworld powers-that-be, as a threat to their autonomy and capitalist power.

Marginalized speaking of, ongoing to the circus
Thanks for doing the video any insight is valuable but if the tone of voice and certain ways of emphasis weren't intentionally trying to make this artwork be looked at with expectations of the underlying thing always being negative that it's not as good af people thought good this reason or it's overrated fir thay reason then im going insane, because i haff no clue annoye the wife's murder and hin being charged or any details at all... abs the whole talkin until thay wad mentioned i was asking myself... why would this lady even want to be teaching or talking about something she obviously hates so much. Everything good about the guy was introduced with an emphatic " Well SO THEY SAY" W THE TONE THAT that thers already a universal understanding that "THEY" were wrong for some reason... annoying to listen to.... it's life giving your opinion coukdnt or passive aggressively, here to sway or hear to teach objectively? Idk that ones right or wrong but i know which is more beneficial to learn from.
Lovers from hell
To me, now after hearing this anger infused “lecture”, the worst thing that Andre did was to empower all of the post-modern curators by making such ridiculous “derivative” statements about his work.
Thusly, he helped to empower curators and critics, like this one, to use basically content-empty conceptual art like his as a means to make their own trendy personal statements. Converting art into a political tool.
This curator has so much anger it’s hard to watch. She should remember that without Carl Andre people like her never could have been given the freedom to use museums and art to make their personal political statements.
This type of character would never take a statement like mine to heart because I am a (kind of) white male whose been making art since before she was born. That makes me one of the enemies.
If you hate this artist so much and think that he disempowered Anna Mendieta (I agree) isn’t it also true that by using the museum to show his work you are simultaneously disempowering some other artists that we could benefit from seeing?
You indict yourselves.
more art is the always the answer - less art is never the answer
