PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG CRITIC
"I always believed up to that point [1981] that there should be some radical separation between self and work—a separation that of course was theorized. I don't totally understand this anymore. I don't completely know why or how this was the case.
"I think my work now is involved in a continual self-questioning that isn't a kind of existentialist 'who am I' questioning, but an inquiry into the self as constructed and positioned, which necessarily gives the work an air of intellectual intimacy… Many people think that the texts are in fact products of a falsely constructed authoritative voice. I hope that's not the case…
"The mistake is always then that the idea of subjectivity becomes the dominant motif in the work." — Craig Owens

LYNNE TILLMAN AND KERRY TRIBE
"Joseph Beuys is a controversial figure in art history, in large part because of his constructed biography: Beuys often recanted his dramatic origin story, a swirl of truth and lies."*
In an Un-Private Collection talk this week at The Broad, Lynne Tillman and Kerry Tribe will "explore the ways that Beuys, Tillman and Tribe each raise questions about how identity shapes public reception and perception," in a conversation moderated by artist Shana Lutker, co-organizer of this series for X-TRA.
LYNNE TILLMAN AND KERRY TRIBE ON JOSEPH BEUYS, Thursday, May 17, at 7:30 pm.
OCULUS HALL, THE BROAD, 221 South Grand Avenue, downtown Los Angeles.

CRAIG OWENS LAUNCH AND PANEL
A newly edited and updated version of Craig Owens' 1984 interview with Lyn Blumenthal and Kate Horsfield has been published by Badlands Unlimited.
Join Lynne Tillman, Thomas Beard, and Horsfield for CRAIG OWENS—PORTRAIT OF A YOUNG CRITIC, a book launch and panel discussion with Paul Chan and Johanna Burton at the New Museum.
Owens (1950–1990) was an associate editor at October and a senior editor at Art in America. His essays are collected in Beyond Recognition—Representation, Power, and Culture (1994).
In his memoir Before Pictures, Douglas Crimp describes the quality of Owen's "unrestrained intellectual enthusiasm.":
"In many of our late-night phone calls… [Owens] would say something like, 'I'm writing a brilliant essay on…'—on whatever it was he was working on at the moment. I was at first taken aback by his apparent immodesty, but I grew to understand and appreciate his elation at the process of his own thinking, sparked by his voracious reading." — Douglas Crimp*
Launch and panel
Friday, March 2, at 7 pm.
235 Bowery, New York City.
