January 24 and 25, 2015. This is what is coming up on the next edition of Hyperallergic Weekend. John Yau pays a visit to the studio of Louise Belcourt, who has referred to her work as “paintings of sculptures of landscapes,” while her new canvases appear to be “not about landscape or abstraction, but about the visual signs we assume to be integral to each.” Thomas Micchelli reviews a solo show by conceptual/relational artist Patrick Killoran, which “zeroes in on the unlikeliest of subjects — contract law — with an off-kilter braininess that turns each piece into a game of mental catch-up.” Edward M. Gómez writes about the donation of 57 works by self-taught, black artists from the Deep South — who had been ignored for many years by the art establishment — to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, from the William S. Arnett Collection of the Atlanta-based Souls Grown Deep Foundation. Lucas Fagen assesses the phenomenon of Lana Del Ray, aka Lizzie Grant: “For many, the mere existence of Lizzie Grant and her alter ego Lana Del Rey serves as a cold slap in the face to the big-budget feminist empowerment campaigns enacted by even richer and more famous people like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.” And in Weekend Words: “I wake up cold, I who / Prospered through dreams of heat / Wake to their residue, / Sweat, and a clinging sheet.”
