Insightful and chilling review of Cameron Rowland's D37 in today's Los Angeles Times. Thank you Christopher Knight for braving the work. https://www.latimes.com//la-et-cm-moca-cameron-rowland-201

A major critical analysis on the work of #CameronRowland, in particular his #RentalContract by #EricGoloStone, in current issue of #OctoberJournal. http://www.essexstreet.biz//OCTOBER%20164_Cameron%20Rowlan Rowland’s overarching critical project destabilizes expectations of ownership rather than simply reflecting on the implicit inequalities and exclusion created by property ownership. The artist actualizesin day-to-day lived relationsa practiced methodology of continua...lly challenging, complicating, and refusing the expectation of ownership and the assumption that artworks are bought and sold property. The consciously adopted obligations Rowland lives by, of course, obligate others as well. The contingent relations that the artist’s rental contract anticipates include any individual’s or institution’s engaging directly in the acquisition or rental of his artistic work, as well as those individuals subsequently engaged in the maintenance of the terms and conditions stated in the contract. It is through these relations that the rental contract’s regulatory demands and potential penalties exert pressuresoutlining the settled expectations of the right to property that typically governs the art field, and self-locating economic subjectivities within the political life of artistic works. ... While Rowland’s rental contract is a mechanism for critical introspection into the comparative anxieties and damaging lack of basic necessities created by property relations in the art field, by operating on the actual legal-economic terms of property transaction, the rental contract is far-reaching: realizing how art is wrested from the expectations of property, while also evidencing how inextricably bound property is to the pervasive legacy of racial capitalism. Thank you to #CherylHarris #AndreaFraser @thomaslax @stuartcomer @artistsspace @themuseumofmodernart #BalthazarLovay @fri_art_kunsthalle and so much #EricGoloStone. And see Rowland’s next solo exhibition #D37 at #MOCA Los Angeles in October! @mocalosangeles See more
