Art in Print September–October 2014 Life at Home For the September–October issue of Art in Print we invited writers, artists and scholars to consider domesticity—the domain where art and life intersect most intimately—in all its conflicted glory. The topics range from Edward Bawden‘s pocket-sized and gimlet-eyed Life in an English Village (discussed by Andrew Raftery), to Louise Lawler‘s wall-conquering vector traced photographs of famous art in private settings (reviewed by Owen Duffy). Julia V. Hendrickson uncovers the critical role of wallpaper in the creation of modernist painterly space, while Stamos Fafalios and Vassilis Zidianakis reconsider the 1960s fad of printed paper dresses that stretched from Warhol to Nixon. Henri Matisse (exhibition review by Chara Kolokytha) famously invited home furnishings into the picture when he argued that art should be “something like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue”; but recent artists have laid claim more aggressively to the very architecture of residential space, as in the Wall Works exhibition at the Hamburger Bahnhof (reviewed by Susan Tallman). And in this issue’s Prix de Print, guest juror and curator/consultant Nigel Frank celebrates Brian Cohen’s portrait of Walter White, Breaking Bad’s meth-dealing homebody. art-agenda/shows/art-in-print-september%E2%80%93october-2014/
