Jeff Wall and Justine Kurland in NY Times

Two articles of interest in the Sunday NY Times. The cover article of the Magazine is a profile of Jeff Wall, accompanied by a breathless, shocked tone - bewildered that some photographs are staged and require upto 20 extras! In the Saturday paper, Roberta Smith reviewed Wall's show at MoMA, opening tomorrow.

The second is in the Arts section, a review of Justine Kurland's latest work, a bunch of naked mothers and children congregating in nature, being shown at Mitchell-Innes & Nash. The images strike me as having a prehistoric quality. Funny enough, Kurland finds some of her models at health food stores, which is exactly what you'd think. The article also has a nice connection to being a creative parent (her son is the same age as mine).
