“Correspondences”
In this issue
In its recent issue Border Crossings looks at “Correspondences”—from the writing of letters to noting the connections among ideas, people and art practices.
The issue includes Meeka Walsh’s essay on the letters of the pioneering American performance artist Carolee Schneemann, who is interviewed in the issue about collaborating with James Tenney in the mid-’60s on her ground-breaking films.
Tenney is one of the featured composers at the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra’s New Music Festival in January. Border Crossings is a partner with the WSO for this year’s festival and the issue also features an interview with Georg Friedrich Haas, one of the most sought after contemporary composers, and an admirer of Tenney’s experiments with electronic music and alternative tuning systems.
Both composers were pushing the range of their art forms and technologies, another correspondence with the art of László Moholy-Nagy, whose major exhibition at Plug In ICA is now at the Bauhaus Archive in Berlin. This issue features the most extensive magazine coverage of the exhibition worldwide.
From the connecting armature of technology, we go back to the work of the Canadian photographer Suzy Lake, who was using her body in a very different way from Carolee Schneemann to draw attention to an intensified feminist art practice in the ’70s. “Correspondences” are everywhere throughout the issue.
Border Crossings issue no. 132 also includes articles on the art of Margaux Williamson and Graham Gillmore, the first review of Guy Maddin’s new feature-length film, still a work in progress, called The Forbidden Room, and the usual wide-ranging review section. The name Border Crossings carries its own set of “Correspondences”—with quality, consistency and surprise.
