Art and September 11th
Artists, critics, and architects are discussing how culture responded and continues to respond to 9/11.
- ARTnews has a story of how an immigrant from Korea uses intricate abstract works as a response.
- There is a write-up in the Village Voice on how the Tribute in Light memorial came to be.
- The architect of the transportation hub at Ground Zero tells Architectural Digest about how he conceived the design and how the city has changed.
- A piece in The New York Times looks at how art and artists struggle to contend with the horrors of that day.
- And, finally, a writer with the Art Newspaper spoke with artists about their memories of the event and how they responded.
“I wouldn’t say that the attacks had a big effect on my thinking so much as the amorphous and ambiguous war on terror and the authorization of military force giving the president unlimited power to wage war.”
