Barbara Kasten Summer Press Roundup by Constance Mensh

Though sadly nearing the end of its successful run, Barbara Kasten: Stages, continues to make a mark in print and online. Here is a look at some highlights from the last few months.

Contemporary Art Daily, Barbara Kasten at ICA Philadelphia A great approximation of walking through the exhibition using installation imagery in slideshow. This is a gorgeous online record of the show– so very nice to see the photos completely.

W Magazine Art Issue features both Stages via a slideshow of prints and installation images and  Barbara herself (and my portrait below) in the article/roundup of senior artists, Young at Art.

Barbara Kasten: Stages at Institute of Contemporary Art by Constance Mensh

The time spent in Barbara’s company was to encounter someone so completely cool, I can only guess it comes from living a long life in pursuit of art for the collective advancement of photography, women artists and anyone with two eyes, a brain and a soul.  Or she’s just always been that way.
