Our first artist commissions for #Counterpublic2019 are going up around the Cherokee Street neighborhood! For this project in a formerly vacant storefront, Joseph del Pesco and Jon Rubin inaugurate a prospective National Museum that—over the course of three months—presents a micro-narrative about historical progression.
Del Pesco and Rubin consider, how does a nation or city or neighborhood decide what to collectively remember? Which histories are deemed worth saving and which are ignored, denied or forgotten? How long does it take for monuments to become ruins, or for once widely known stories to be forgotten?

Review | Brian Droitcour on the Carnegie International at the Carnegie Museum of Art: “A projector beams words onto pieces of heavy-stock paper to be traced in black ink. The artists slide their finished works into frames that line the gallery walls, replacing ones where the ink has dried; those are slipped into plastic envelopes and left on a table where visitors are welcome to take them home. The painted words are titles of works submitted to the Carnegie International from 1896 to 1931, when the exhibition was selected from responses to an open call. By the time the latest edition closes, all 10,632 rejected submissions will have been commemorated in alphabetical order in these paintings.” @briandroitcour @thecmoa

We’re up to P and thus painting Portraits all week at Fruit and Other Things in the #carnegieinternational #fruitandotherthings @lenkaclaytonstudio .......... From 1896 to 1931 the Carnegie International selected artworks for its exhibitions from an international competition. The museum kept meticulous records, not only of all the works accepted, but of those rejected as well. Only the title, artist’s names, and the year of each work were recorded, no images exist. Over this 35 year span, 10,632 artworks were rejected from the exhibitions. For the duration of the 57th Carnegie International, each of the 10,632 rejected titles are being made into hand-lettered text paintings. Each text painting will be exhibited for a day, and then given away to visitors.

APPLY!!!..............Thrilled to be able to continue to support and work with the amazing @alishabwormsley on this critical project. Thanks to @theheinzendowments and @officeofpublicart
