Dawson on Space Unlimited

"Space, Unlimited" shows us just how terrifying it is to be an artist right now.

In nearly all the show's pieces -- and there is one self-assured exception -- we sense a waking terror at the long shadow of art history. With so many Titians and Mondrians behind us, how to carve the road forward? Beat them or join them?
Read Jessica's review here and then go to the lecture by my good friend and co-curator Laura Roulet on Sunday, April 5 starting at 3PM at the Art Museum of the Americas, located at 201 18th Street, NW in DC.

I'm not really terrified by the way...
