Olafur Eliasson’s Phenomenological Prismatics Shimmer on Both Coasts
With concurrent exhibitions in Los Angeles and New York, polydextrous interdisciplinary artist and occasional architect Olafur Eliasson continues his multisensory, multiplatform advocacy on behalf of Earth’s natural magic. Eliasson — who New Yorkers will remember from the large-scale, site-specific 2008 Waterfall installations at four locations on the East River waterfront — is currently tearing the roof off Los Angeles. Literally.
Still Alice: Blake Butler’s Knotty Novel Is Back, Retitled
Void Corporation, Blake Butler’s new novel, isn’t new. He already published it under a different title, Alice Knott, in 2020. You’d be forgiven for being confused. Butler’s popular — and wrenching — 2023 memoir, Molly, was a breakthrough, for him and his indie publisher, Archway Editions.
The Way We Live Now: New York Artists at the Edge of Survival
It’s hard to hurl criticism at Art Monster: On the Impossibility of New York, Marin Kosut’s new book, that the author hasn’t already anticipated, levied at herself, and responded to in the text. What do her editors at Columbia University Press think of the book? Oh, probably something about how Art Monster “isn’t the book I proposed to write,” as she admits in the acknowledgments. So what? “If my perspective seems shifty, it’s because I’ve changed.” What do her academic peers think?
Inside the Spiral Unearths Robert Smithson’s Childhood, Catholicism, Art, and Death
A spiral, when you think about it, works like an inside-out labyrinth. The end is completely visible from the outside. If you can walk it, there’s hypnotic pleasure in following your feet to the center. That’s the experience promised by Spiral Jetty, the monumental earthwork that arcs through the blood-red waters at Rozel Point, in Utah’s Great Salt Lake. This is a massive sculpture — a 1,500-foot-long rock pathway conceived and built in 1970 by the enigmatic artist Robert Smithson.

Temple Grandin Talks, Drew Conroy Drives: Rare Breeds Come Together - People/Events - Small Farmer's Journal
Temple Grandin Talks, Drew Conroy Drives: Rare Breeds Come Together by: Sally Eckhoff from issue: 27-2 by Sally Eckhoff of Stuyvesant Falls, NY Having reached the level of sophistication where I can tell a Brabant horse from a breadbox, I thought I’d be OK skipping the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy meeting. So what if it was going to be at the Hancock Shaker Village, right over the hill from where I live? I know what those weird sheep with the three horns look like.
Good Art by Bad People
Via our sister paper The Village Voice: Claire Dederer’s “Monsters” looks at artists you might not want to bring home to mother. I’m talking to my class about the relationship between the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland and a carving in a 12th-century church in Beverly, England, when a student stands up and starts yelling, “Lewis Carroll was a child molester!” There goes my college lecture about animal iconography, and now we’re talking about rape.
Love the Art, Not the Artist

Masterpieces on Hooves
Masterpieces on Hooves: A Visit with the World’s Greatest Livestock Photographer (Paris, France, Salon International de l’Agriculture, 2002) by Sally Eckhoff of Stuyvesant Falls, NY photos by Majorie Van Helternen of France When I decided I was going to write a book on working animals, I never realized how much fun it would be trying to convince the skeptics. If a good story is worth anything, there’s no better subject anywhere in the world.
Opinion | These Horses Are Too Young to Die
Fair treatment of Thoroughbreds means they will at least get a chance to grow up. By Sally Eckhoff Ms. Eckhoff is the author of the forthcoming memoir “How Horses Get Their Names.” Nov. 30, 2019, 2:30 p.m. ET In 1972, the year before Secretariat made racing history, I was raking manure around a fenced-in patch of dirt in Laurel Hollow, N.Y. I was a teenage rider. My world was horses. The ideal summer job was nearby, at Belmont or Aqueduct or a small training track.
