Take What You Can't Get at ABC No Rio

I had the pleasure of creating the exhibition publication for Take What You Can’t Get at ABC No Rio.

Inspired by the role of artists as imaginators, and agitators, from the 1930s to the present day, Take What You Can't Get embraces our current moment of multilayered crisis (economic, racial justice, leadership, health) as an opportunity for artists to actively imagine a more desirable future. The exhibition's title addresses pre-existing artworld expectations of austerity and extreme inequality - that artists and art workers must take what they can get. The four projects, by three collectives and one artist, respond to the following questions: What do artists and art workers need now? What does our NYC community need now (and how can artists help)? What should we demand of our institutions - art or government? What does a more beautiful future look like? Projects take place both on-line and in New York City throughout the duration of the exhibition. Curated by Christina Freeman.

This is a link to the online interactive version of the publication.

Lenscratch Review of The Moon And Stars Can Be Yours

Lisa McCarty wrote a review of The Moon And Stars Can Be Yours for Lenscratch, I love the way that she closed, “In her pursuit of psychic services Duzant, or the narrator, is also searching for her voice as an artist, for self-possession, for future certainty….By the end of The Moon and Stars Can be Yours Duzant has extended this tradition, not by providing direct advice but by disclosing her own path toward living the questions perpetually, toward every day becoming.”

I had the immense pleasure to write about MoMA’s Dorothea Lange retrospective, Words & Pictures. I began writing about the show during NYC’s lockdown in response to the Covid-19 pandemic ripping through the city. The piece was published as protests and marches blossomed across the country. I thought I knew Dorothea Lange’s work but this exhibition during this time in history underlined just how impactful her work and her photographic ideology were and still are.
