Heartfelt chronicles and incisive essays on women artists from Francesca Woodman to Marlene Dumas
Nobody writes about art like Estelle Hoy. Overpriced cheesecakes are the starting point for an essay on art writing; shoplifting in Berlin opens to a reflection on the economies of activist practices; fiction allows for discussion of the legacy of institutional critique, queer mélanges or quiet melancholy. To her, the story of art becomes more nuanced in light of lyrics by Arthur Russell, the posthumous sorrow of Sylvia Plath or a poem by Yvonne Rainer. Saké Bluegathers Hoy's critical essays and reviews, primarily on women artists. Echoing the work of Hervé Guibert or Camille Henrot, Hoy's writing suggests that art can be the place for subjectivities to take shape in relation to forms, ideas and the other.
Estelle Hoyis a writer and art critic based in Berlin. Her critically acclaimed book Pisti, 80 Rue de Bellevillewas published in 2020.
