ArtNews: The Best Booths at Liste, From an Eerie Sound Installation to Miniature Industrial Sculptures

“At first glance, the booth of Toronto’s Hunt Gallery—also debuting at Liste this year—looks like the attic of a middle-aged model train enthusiast. Spread across a long U-shaped table are miniature industrial scenes featuring shipping containers, train carriages, trees, and tiny people. The works are all by 74-year-old Canadian artist Kim Adams, known for using readymade and prefabricated elements “to interrogate social structures, the impact of technology and mobility, and the intersection between life and art,” the gallery’s director, Daniel Hunt, told me.” — George Nelson


Public Parking: “figurelessness of the figure”: in conversation with the artist Walter Scott

“Scott’s figures and their attendant objects (or his objects and their attendant figures) capture simple being – for instance, the plainly apparent experience of misery, that infinitely non-universal universal. Simultaneously, they offer us characters nobody could fail to recognize as vitally specific, differentiated, subtly or not, by their particular features. I mean class, race, gender, but also eyebrows, shoes, or types of ambition.” — Hannah Strauss


Spaghetti Boost: Humor in Contemporary Art: How Artists and Comedy Create Visual Tension

“In his comics, Scott is licensed to use both words and images, designed to be “read” in the way that we have been trained to digest comic strips. We go in with a background cultural understanding of how to find the joke. “Comics are only one aspect of it, but narrative construction is central to everything I do. Recently, I have been focussing less on comics in a literal sense and more on creating narrative-based paintings that use the language of comics.” — Verity Babbs
