ARTIKEL

Editor's Letter

LAST YEAR WE PUBLISHED an article about African – American sculptor Barbara Chase – Riboud, whose fiber – and – metal sculptures were a revelation when I saw them at the Philadelphia Museum of Art in 2013. Some of her abstract works from the 1960s and 1970s are dedicated to Malcolm  X, as indicated in their titles, suggesting a political message. The article revealed that Chase – Riboud was criticized at the time for failing to address racial injustice in a more direct way via her art. In our current issue, curator Adrienne Edwards considers how African – American artists engage with both abstraction and race through an examination of works by Adam Pendleton. In parsing the Virginia – born, New York – based artist's paintings and videos, she proposes new ideas about the interaction of blackness, abstraction and conceptualism.

Although Chinese multi – medium artist Wang Jianwei has confronted sociopolitical topics in the past his debut at New York's Guggenheim Museum reflects a shift toward formalism. Richard Wine, A.i.A.’s managing editor, offers a context for thinking about the abstract paintings and geometric wooden sculptures of the midcareer artist, better known in China than abroad.

A different sensibility prevails in the work of German sculptor Cosima von Bonin, as evidenced by her survey at Vienna’s MUMOK. The show reminds A.i.A. contributing editor Faye Hirsch of "a big, free – wheeling, artist – directed installation. “Hirsch assesses that artist's place in the heady and mostly male Cologne art scene, considering how von Bonin's 25 years of art – making reflects her intelligence and wit as well as her attention in to the well – crafted object.

Swiss artist Pamela Rosenkranz may come from a younger generation, but she also employs humor and surprise – though the results are often restrained. For a recent show, Rosenkranz made paintings in a gallery while under the influence of Viagra. The resulting silvered, pink and flesh – toned abstract works are graceful and elegant and yet also bizarre once the method of their making is revealed. Aoife Rosenmeyer visited the artist in he Zurich studio soon after she was tapped to represent Switzerland in the upcoming Venice Biennale.

Another Swiss artist has designed the cover. Ugo Rondinone takes the rainbow, essentially an optical illusion, and transforms it into a jubilant crayon – scribbled landscape. The artist often presents simple but symbolically loaded imagery, including clowns, trees and the cosmos. I love that this cover appears incredibly simple and childlike but can be endlessly evocative.

Find Subject and Verb

The healing power of maggots is  not new. Human beings have discovered it several times. The Maya are said to have used maggots for therapeutic purposes a thousand years ago. As early as the sixteenth century, Euroupean doctors noticed that soldiers with maggots-infested wounds healed well. More recently, doctors have realized that maggots can be cheaper and more effective than drugs in some respects, and these squirming larvae have, at times, enjoyed a quiet medical renaissance. The problem may have more to do with the weak stomachs of those using them than with good science. The modern heyday of maggot therapy began during World War I, when an American doctor named William Baer was shocked to notice that two soldiers who had lain on a battlefield for a week while their abdominal wounds became infested with thousands of maggots, had recovered better than wounded men treated in military hospital. After the war, Baer prove to the medical establishment that maggots could cure some of the toughest infections.

In the 1930s hundreds of hospitals used maggot therapy. Maggot therapy requires the right kind of larvae. Only the maggots of blowflies ( a family that includes common bluebottles and greenbottles) will do the job; they devour dead tissue, whether in an open wound or in a corpse. Some other maggots, on the other hand, such as those of the scre-worm eat live tissue. They must be avoided. When blowfly eggs hatch in a patient's wound, the maggots eat the dead flesh where gangrene-causing bacteria thrive. They also excrete compounds that are lethal to bacteria they don't happen to swallow. Meanwhile, they ignore live flesh, and in fact, give it a gentle growth-stimulating massage simply by crawling over it. When they metamorphose into flies, they leave without a trace-although in the process, they might upset the hospital staff as they squirm around in a live patient. When sulfa drugs, the first antibiotics, emerged around the time of World War II, maggot therapy quickly faded into obscurity.
