Mike Kelley, Reconstructed History<\/i>, 1989, ink and collage on paper, framed, in fifty parts, 11″ x 8.5″ each. \u00a9 The Estate of Mike Kelley\/Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts<\/p><\/div>\n

It is strangely relaxing to visit Frankfurt during the book fair, if you\u2019re not in the book business. While actual publishers were staying out late and getting up early and speed-reading manuscripts on their phones, I got to visit Lucy Raven\u2019s 3-D film installation, \u201cCurtains<\/a>,\u201d at Portikus gallery, confirming my own suspicion that I do not, in fact, see in 3-D. (Everything was flat and red\u2014or flat and blue if I squinted.) I also got to read the first three books of Anthony Powell\u2019s A Dance to the Music of Time<\/a><\/em>. It was my third attempt on Powell\u2019s twelve-volume comedy of manners, and I could see what defeated me before\u2014the fake-Proustian \u201cphilosophizing,\u201d the unparsable sentences and cavalier grammar, the complete lack of believable erotic feeling, the endless talk about characters who never rise above caricature. The whole thing is amateurish<\/em> in a way that only English novels like to be. And yet Powell has a genius for physical space. He can seat an entire dinner party so you remember who\u2019s sitting where or show four friends walking down the street in such a way that you can tell, at all times, who\u2019s walking next to whom. It\u2019s magic. His characters may be strictly 2-D, but you always know where they are.\u00a0\u2014Lorin Stein<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week I went to a show at Skarstedt Gallery to see a show of work by the late Mike Kelley<\/a>. Kelley was a genius of an artist; to my mind, he is<\/em>\u00a0a genius of an artist, even though, of course, we will get no more new work from him. That present tense may be partly due to the fact that since his death, I\u2019ve seen art by him that I hadn\u2019t previously seen\u2014like the installation at Skarstedt, which comprised fifty small, framed illustrations torn from American history textbooks and defaced by Kelley. The doodles are lewd and juvenile\u2014he has Alexander Hamilton making a pass at George Washington and a signatory barfing on the Declaration of Independence\u2014graffiti appropriate to the bored teenagers who likely suffered through the books. It\u2019s a smart, astute work and very funny (a combination no artist does better than Kelley), but what really got me was the wall text, which was taken from Kelley\u2019s introduction to a book of these images, published in 1990. This too-sober text turns an idealized view of American history and patriotism on its head: \u201cSuch childish resentment is the cause of the defacements presented here. The inability to accept their lower position in the order of things provokes these \u2018artists\u2019 to drag back to the surface garbage long buried\u2013to sully, vandalize, and render inoperable our pictures of health,\u201d he writes, adding, \u201cNot that such a tactic is always bad.\u201d \u2014Nicole Rudick<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c \u2018I get really affected by bestiality with children,\u2019 she says \u2026 \u2018I have to stop for a moment and loosen up, maybe go to Starbucks and have a coffee.\u2019 She laughs at the absurd juxtaposition of a horrific sex crime and an overpriced latte.\u201d That\u2019s Adrien Chen in the latest issue of Wired<\/em><\/a>, looking at the vast labor force (\u201cwell over 100,000\u201d) devoted to \u201ccontent moderation,\u201d the purgation of offensive material from our social networks. If you\u2019ve ever wondered why your YouTube experience never shades into sadism or pornography, you have content moderators to thank. Our demand for a whitewashed Internet\u2014an uncontaminated \u201ccontent stream\u201d\u2014comes at a steep human cost. Imagine if it were your full-time job to watch pornography, beheadings, torture, hate: the whole gamut of id and primeval desire, eight hours a day, forty hours a week. As Chen describes them, these laborers\u2014that seems to me the only word for them, even if they\u2019re handsomely remunerated\u2014are at once desensitized and permanently scarred; he\u2019s not overstating things when he writes that they\u2019ve been \u201cstaring into the heart of human darkness.\u201d One wants to cry foul here: Is it really necessary to expose so many people to such constant atrocity? Chen\u2019s reporting presents a Gordian knot of ethics and exploitation. \u2014Dan Piepenbring

In the new collection Come Here Often?<\/em><\/a>, Hunter Slaton reflects on his favorite bar, the Southern Exposure<\/a>. A minor inconvenience: it\u2019s in Antarctica. In 2004, Slaton took a job as a dishwasher at McMurdo Station for the adventure. There was once a bowling alley on the base, but residents always preferred its three bars, \u201cthe hubs of social life on the station; and which one you frequented said a lot about you.\u201d Southern Exposure was the smoking bar, where the cooks and machinery operators \u201cwho couldn\u2019t give two shits about being on Antarctica\u201d went drinking on a nightly basis. From Slaton\u2019s description\u2014\u201cthe blond wood bar,\u201d \u201cscraggly Christmas lights,\u201d \u201cworn armchairs that leaned back just far enough so that you would think they were about to tip over on you\u201d\u2014Southern Exposure sounds like my, and anyone else\u2019s, favorite dive bar, a reminder that no matter where you are in the world there is always a place nearby that feels like home. \u2014Justin Alvarez<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chris Thile is a MacArthur Fellow known mainly for his mandolin playing, with multiple Grammys to his name; his bluegrass trio Nickel Creek cut their first album when he was twelve, and he\u2019s recorded an LP with Yo-Yo Ma. But his current quintet, the Punch Brothers, is making perhaps his best music to date. Their third album, Who\u2019s Feeling Young Now?<\/a> <\/em>is a masterful, impressively eclectic collection; it nods to traditional bluegrass while remaining catchy and contemporary enough for pop radio. And it boasts great storytelling. In \u201cThis Girl,\u201d a Christian backslider begs a priest to hook him up with the town hottie; in \u201cPatchwork Girlfriend,\u201d a whimsical, high-strung intro and outro bookend a silly tale about a man who\u2019s decided that monogamy isn\u2019t for him. \u2014Alex Celia<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
