Questions for me arise about how to order and think about my art viewing from 2015. Yes, you are reading that correctly, 2015. Rather than squeeze snap judgements into an end-of-the-year type best-of whatever-type-thing, I just don't think that way. However, I do think it's valuable to try. More importantly, I suspect things need to unfold in their time. So, why not let that time, let it distill, and discover what's holding for a little longer, what actually seems to have substance?
There are also other questions about how to organize, prioritize, chronologically as a typical default, by medium to consider formal relationships within and between them, by institutional level (museum, gallery, and other type space), or by some other means somewhere in between...? Having considered these lines of thinking, I have gone with a more personal means, which is to say that these works considered here are ones that either had an immediate impact or have left a lasting impression or both, which is also to say that I am still thinking about them or recall them from time to time three plus years later. And for the sake of locating connective tissue, they are presented here in the order in which they were seen, from Huyghe to Foschino.
