Congratulations to @libraryresidency artist in residence 2025 James Hyde @hyde.james and @marthaschwendener and @weistwiley for their panel at the OFFICIAL 2026 BROOKLYN BOOK FESTIVAL @bkbookfest BOOKEND EVENT @peterfreemaninc 

This panel, moderated by photographer and writer Chris Wiley, explores The Society of the Screen: Vilém Flusser’s Radical Prescience, by Martha Schwendener, art historian and critic, and the painter James Hyde’s The Trouble with Space in Painting: A Critical History. These books confront what history means at a time described as ‘post-historical’ by Flusser (1920-1991), the subject of Schwendener’s book, and an important figure in Hyde’s. The conversation will concern the shaping of history and visual art in a new information age.

Martha Schwendener is an art historian and art critic for the NYT.. She is Visiting Associate Professor at New York University and Researcher in Residence at the Vilém Flusser Archive, Berlin. She is the editor of Vilém Flusser’s Essays // Artforum (Metaflux, 2017) and The Society of the Screen: Vilém Flusser’s Radical Prescience. Her criticism and essays have been published in Artforum, Art in America, Afterimage, Bookforum, Critical Inquiry, e-flux, The Brooklyn Rail, The New Yorker, October, RES, and other publications.

James Hyde is a practicing painter who has worked in New York City since the late 1970s. His recent book, The Trouble with Space in Painting: A Critical History, is the first critical study of “pictorial space” as a historical construction. Hyde’s paintings are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, Phillips Collection, Museo Cantonale d’Arte and Fonds National d’Art Contemporain. He has exhibited widely in the United States and Europe.

Chris Wiley is an artist and writer. His writing has appeared in numerous catalogs and publications including Frieze, Aperture, and the New Yorker, where he regularly writes for PhotoBooth. His artwork has been included in exhibitions at MoMA PS1, Atlanta Contemporary, Hauser and Wirth  and Marian Goodman Gallery, among others. He is represented by Nicelle Beauchene Gallery. @arthistory @artbooks @flusser @paintingtheory

I’m happy to share my piece included in Plants, Animals and Sky @canada.nyc. I’m amazed by the work of the infinitely talented @msgrauer and #wallacewhitney in compiling this extraordinary show. It’s a blessing to be in the same space as many of my all-time favorite painters, including Lois Dodd, Joan Snyder, Katherine Bradford, Marsden Hartley, and George Inness, to name a few, plus so many of my extraordinary contemporary peers.

I paint outdoors to be closer to nature, to listen to it, not to capture it. It is important to me to surrender to my surroundings and let go of art world strategies. That’s partly how the plastic frames came about: doing something wrong that feels right. I embrace this discord and let it move me forward. The plastics I find in excess in the landscape have a weathered patina. It’s almost as if nature is trying to subsume the mess we have made. I’m grateful to be part of this web of artists illuminating their relationships to these subjects in this show. 

Thank you to so many for supporting me, posting stories, and caring. Your consistent love and attention mean the world!!

DEEP GRATITUDE for everyone @canada.nyc and especially @msgrauer , Sarah Braman, for thoughtfully and lovingly bringing together this huge group of artists celebrating and devoting themselves to working with nature, as observers and hopefully, in some tiny way, protectors. This joyful exhibition of 100 works were miraculously arranged in exquisite and revelatory groupings that were such a pleasure to behold.  The space feels warm, calm and open. Deep and satisfying.  It will take me time to tag everyone here and there are so many more amazing pieces you’ll have to see for yourselves!! Thank you and congratulations to all.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Terrific read, which I felt personally (professionally) invested in and just romped through it.

A good encapsulation:
”Rather than recognizing that space emerged from religion, philosophy and mathematics, space became unmoored from its historical roots to become little more than a flavor. By the 1960s, space could attach itself at will, setting the stage for another expansion of space into art, in the form of the seemingly neutral idea of 'real space' that is the premise for Minimalism and its inheritors.”

The pictorial is a thing and @hyde.james fleshes this out in a useful and well written way.
