A Gift Link for Jarrett Earnest on Claude Cahun & Marcel Moore

A black-and-white vertical photo shows an outstretched pair of arms emerging from a rough, human-scale obelisk abutting a stone-and-mortar column or wall on the right side of the composition. In the distance, scruffy plantlife at the horizon, and a pale sky of low, puffy clouds.

It’s been a great summer so far at the Critics’ Table if I do say so myself. This week, we published Jarrett Earnest’s review of the Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore exhibition at CAM St. Louis. (This is Jarrett’s third contribution, following his pieces on Harmony Hammond and Charli XCX!) If you haven’t read my coverage of Fiona Alison Duncan and SoiL Thornton’s Swiss Institute Panel on artist housing, here is a gift link for it. And, once again, David Rimanelli on Paul Thek.

If you find yourself clicking on a lot of these free links, perhaps it’s time to subscribe! (But, regardless, thank you for reading and spreading the word.) xx
