I’ve been reading the Walker Art Center’s blogs lately and they just opened Kara Walker’s first museum survey in the US, Kara Walker: My Complement, My Enemy, My Oppressor, My Love. I have to say, reading the blog has been really great for a variety of reasons, one of them being that it’s gotten me really excited about the fact that Ms. Walker’s show is coming to the Whitney in October. She makes intellectual and passionate art that really speaks about the histories that influence our present lives.

You know what else they’re showing at the Walker???

1. Paper Trail: A decade of the Walker’s acquisitions on paper: An exhibit that focuses on all of the changes that have occurred in the ways that artists produce work on paper.

2. Body Politics: Figurative Prints and Drawings from Schiele to De Kooning.

3. And other pieces from the collection.

I would truly like to go there.
