Laura Owens. For Me It's About the Wallpaper.

A gallery with a concrete floor and two skylights. A frontal view of the far wall shows an expanse of pastel wallpaper, hand detailed. A big abstract painting in a corresponding palette evokes a 1980s interior.

My review of the eponymous Laura Owens exhibition at Matthew Marks in Chelsea for the Critics’ Table is live now.

And, next month, March 19th, I’ll be presenting a manifesto toward the reformation of criticism (send ideas)! I’m truly humbled to be included in this all-star 4Columns lineup with Brian Dillon, Ciarán Finlayson, Harmony Holiday, Alex Kitnick, and Emily LaBarge!
