"At this year’s massive edition of the Armory Show, a moment of reflection comes courtesy of two booths in the fair’s Presents section, for galleries in business for fewer than 10 years. The works on view are by two artists—Joiri Minaya (at Calderón) and Nona Faustine (at Higher Pictures Generation)—whose practices have long explored what our relationship to the land we live on."

Justine Kurland
Kurland transforms prized objects in a male-dominated photo-historical canon into a series of photocollages. Kurland’s iconoclastic gesture, in which the cut-up images reemerge as orgiastic tangles of body parts and landscapes full of fantastical detritus, is the latest contribution to a dynamic tradition of feminist uses of collage and montage that have demanded new modes of looking.
