A Sonic Youth album cover here, a high-toned gallery show there, but always, it seemed, the same MO: hermetic pronouncements scrawled across crude ink drawings, except for the occasional venture into an outsized watercolor of a tiny surfer pipelining a tidal wave, or a full-blown mural splayed across a pristine white wall.
"The photographs in this volume anticipate, play with, and frustrate the presumed hermetic alienation between soldier and civilian, between those who have 'been there' in one or another capacity and those who have not," writes Ken MacLeish, an assistant professor of medicine, health, and society at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, in a book essay.
But coming some years after the concrete heroism of the postwar decades, and the megastructures of the Metabolists — Modernists who produced structurally daring buildings that were meant to exude the future-minded society of Japan in the '60s and '70s — he has adopted a hermetic set of fundamental concerns that continue to be visually surprising.
While other members of the gallery went on to create the Light and Space movement or hermetic forms of collage and assemblage (Wallace Berman, George Herms, Ed Keinholz), Moses persisted as an abstract painter, constantly shifting his emphasis from geometry to organic forms, created by the flow or resistance of oil and water-based pigments.
As with many collectively devised shows — in this case by the Piehole company, whose 2015 "Hand Foot Fizzle Face" was based on a hermetic 1976 book by Samuel Beckett and Jasper Johns — "Ski End" struggles to find a shape and at times it feels as though we are watching a game without knowing its rules.
It'd be difficult to pick up the full emotional resonances of "The Book of Nora" without watching the 27 episodes that preceded it, but it's still conceivable that someone who'd never seen The Leftovers could become involved with the plot, which has an older Kevin finding an older Nora (renamed "Sarah") living a hermetic life in rural Australia.
With its second season, creator Jill Soloway expanded the hermetic world that Transparent sketches with such aching precision, by adding an extra layer to the mix: a series of flashbacks to 1933 Berlin, placing the Pfefferman ancestors at the center of Weimar Germany's glamorous scene of gender-bending sexual experimentation, a freewheeling society on the brink of annihilation.
Warren's adoption of "Latinx" is a different example of this problem: There's no policy here, but the rhetoric still suggests that Warren is distinctively beholden to a hermetic academic-progressive world, to a point where she doesn't know how to talk to the less-ideological, less-woke, maybe-even-somewhat-conservative Hispanics whose votes her party needs.
Inside Art BASEL, Switzerland — An art fair like the one here this week can feel as hermetic and all-consuming as a casino, so focused are the crowds on buying art — arguably its own form of gambling — and double-kissing that they lose track of time or what's happening outdoors (in this case, gray skies and sporadic drizzle).
I will ignore the hermetic sealing of Trump's personality against decency, and resist the temptation to riff on Abraham Lincoln's brooding portrait in the White House dining room above the buffoon in chief with his burgers, to ask a simple question: If President Donald Trump is a Russian asset, what would he be working to achieve?
Riemen's book is admirable in many ways, but it is an unusually hermetic example of the thinking that led so many Europeans to believe in the first place that it was possible, necessary and desirable to produce a civilization in which citizens are expected to look down on the love that has always defined citizenship — the love of one's own.
Works like Dial's or Minter's, with their uncompromising allusions to slavery and racism, those indelible scars upon America's soul, demonstrate that, in the hands of such artists, whose lives were shaped by a firsthand understanding of the legacy of a painful past, abstract art could be made to break out of its precious, hermetic-aesthetic zone and say something about the real world, too.
Lebel, a close, longtime friend of Marcel's (see Paul B. Franklin's The Artist and His Critic Stripped Bare: The Correspondence of Marcel Duchamp and Robert Lebel with foreword by Jean-Jacques Lebel) was instrumental in rendering Duchamp's often hermetic conceptual work accessible to a wider public with the 1959 publication of his Sur Marcel Duchamp, the first monograph and catalogue raisonné devoted to the artist.
And yet, between Bloom's clinical adaptations, including white-line directives and compass points mapped out on the floor in vinyl, and Araujo's attempts to insert himself into the hermetic confines of one of Wright's unhomey-homes, it was a breath of fresh air to step away from the oppressiveness of designed spaces, and into the fanciful and wildly evocative paintings and sculptural renderings by Chinese artist Cui Jie at the Richard D. Baron '64 Gallery.
Looking at the art shown in galleries, of course, doesn't reveal everything that you need to know about a place, especially as particularly a hermetic one as Tehran, but you can get an idea of some general currents: a troubled modernism examining the visual and historical past of the region as both source and challenge, and a search for the kind of heterogeneity that could merge contemporary ideas and means of production with local narratives.
