1) Marine Hugonnier, Ariana (Venice Biennale) In the hothouse laboratory that was "Utopia Station," French-born, London-based artist Marine Hugonnier's 2003 film Ariana, a spare, poetic meditation on a trip to Kabul, might now be read as a fitting riposte to the blague and bombast of the "embedded" reporting of America's other unfinished war. It was a malaise brought on by a combination of undistinguished painting and bad faith, tricked out with surely the most ostentatious hype ever lavished on a living artist: a veritable "blizzard of blague," to borrow the words of Hilton Kramer, a critic whose words I do not borrow often. |
