Del Rivero reviewed


A nice review in today's Washington Post of the Elena del Rivero installation at the Corcoran. The artist takes papers that fluttered into her NYC Financial District apartment on 9/11 and weaves them into a muslin cascade that documents the lives of others who lived and worked around the World Trade Center. In the review, Jessica concludes, "Del Rivera [sic] reminds us that on that day in 2001, private lives became public facts." Her conclusion struck me in light of my post yesterday about another artist, Tracy Emin, whose private life is a public unfurling that leaves little to the imagination.

The Corcoran is free and open to the public until Labor Day. Take advantage of this limited opportunity while it lasts! The Del Rivero work and beautiful.
