‘She slept in the hallway on a lawn chair’: how Bettina’s astonishing art outgrew her Chelsea Hotel room

The reclusive figure spent decades filling every surface of her apartment at the legendary New York hotel with artworks that rose in teetering piles. Some are now on display for the first time in Glasgow When the artist Yto Barrada stepped through the door of room 503, up on the fifth floor of New York’s Chelsea Hotel, she was overwhelmed by what she saw. Every inch of the walls was plastered with Xeroxed word art, graphic reproductions of geometric sculptures, hundreds of photographs of passersby in the street below and collections of leaves laid out in grids. Piles of cardboard boxes and crates, full of yet more artworks, prints, books and maquettes, created teetering canyons through which Barrada had to turn sideways to navigate. Every visible surface was covered with sculptural forms in brass, marble and wood. In the midst of it all, on a small daybed surrounded by this aggregation of 40 years of fervent work, was Bettina, as the resident artist of the famous New York landmark was simply known. “One sees Bettina and understands that some disaster has taken place, long ago,” writes Barrada in Bettina, the book she edited with the designer Gregor Huber, published by Aperture in 2022. Barrada was one of only a handful of people the reclusive artist had permitted to enter 503 since she moved into the Chelsea in 1972. Despite the bohemian buzz around the hotel, with neighbours including Patti Smith, Bob Dylan and many of Andy Warhol’s entourage, Bettina chose to lock herself away, devoting her life to conceptual works that seemed to flow unstoppably from deep within, a creative impulse she likened to a divine energy.

Project a Black Planet review: spits out dreary academic theory where it should sing

Barbican, London This exhibition is so in love with the theoretical whimsy of utopian Panafrica that it loses superb artworks in an indigestible intellectual stew Lynette Yiadom-Boakye is a painter with the imagination of a great novelist. Her contribution to the Barbican’s exhibition about Panafrica in art and culture deserves to win the Booker prize. She paints fictional people not portraits – a young woman reading avidly, a man standing alone in Pierrot-like fancy clothes, another wearing a cool green coat. You wonder if they are siblings, their scattered trajectories taking them through contemporary life as if this were a book by Zadie Smith or Jonathan Franzen. For this brand new group of paintings she has a white-walled room to herself. While her young moderns are captured in their ironies along the side walls, at the ends of the room, in uneasy relation to them, hang sombre pictures of African elders, idealised ancestors. Together they form an utterly absorbing, unfinished, epic story of the diaspora experience. Can the young contemporaries connect with those noble figures and find their way back to Africa? Do they even want to? As the poet Aimé Césaire asked: “Who am I? Who are we? What are we in this white world?” Continue reading...

Julio Le Parc review – as if Bridget Riley had opened a riotous funfair

Tate Modern, London The late artist found his calling in febrile 1960s Paris and this exhibition is imbued with an anarchist spirit – you can even spin the paintings! In a great scene in Jean-Luc Godard’s 1964 film Bande à Part, the young protagonists run through the Louvre, leaving puzzled art lovers and angry guards in their wake. It seems impromptu and genuinely disruptive yet Godard’s camera finds time to pause in front of Jacques-Louis David’s Oath of the Horatii, an icon of the French Revolution. This is 1960s Paris, a place where young radicals mock high culture in a carnival that starts with running in the museum and will end in 68 on the streets. Julio Le Parc’s retrospective at Tate Modern plunges you into that 1960s Paris and it’s riotous good fun. It takes a lot to get me off my contemplative pillar and physically “interact” with art but I was soon pushing buttons and spinning paintings. Marcel Duchamp called one of his late works Prière de Toucher (Please Touch), which would have made a good title for this show. Please touch these artworks, make them do things, let them do things to you. One of the simplest, Pattern to Manipulate, is a disc painted with a black and white abstraction: a red arrow on the wall tells you which way to spin it and when you do it fast, the black and white becomes pure white.

I just inhaled 2.4bn year old oxygen in Tasmania. Now I’m part of an exhibition until I die

In Mona’s new permanent installation, visitors can breathe air so pure it ‘has not been touched by any being before you’ More than 2bn years ago, during the Paleoproterozoic era, the Earth’s atmosphere began to fill with free oxygen, enabling the rise of aerobic life and, ultimately, humans. It’s known as the Great Oxidation Event, and deep in the subterranean belly of the Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) in Tasmania, a new artwork offers visitors the chance to inhale oxygen that’s been trapped in iron ore since then. When French-Swiss conceptual artist Julian Charrière came up with the idea, Mona’s owner David Walsh not only said yes but created a bespoke space for it. Continue reading...
