Constellation
The Lacanian Review No. 12


Having cleared a circle, I am oriented by the heavens. Artist, analyst, teacher, I live and work nomadically in New York City, Atlanta, and far West Texas in the Lone Star State. I am guided by Buddhism, the work of painter, Agnes Martin and filmmaker, Robert Bresson and psychoanalysis as taught by Jacques Lacan, practices whose effects are felt from the precision of their techniques––silence, line, frame, cut. Forging a subject extimate to art making was necessary. Years ago in the desert, as an act qua art, I re-inscribed my given name by a letter, a vowel. I was then exiled to a solitude in my studio and ... [Read More]

On and Off the Grid
The Lacanian Review No. 11


When in 2008 I made a name for myself by changing my father’s by a single letter, Beck to Buck, from e to u, I began a series of modified thrift store paintings, "Second Hand", one of which appears on the cover. The first step in making the work is my encounter with a particular painting, each one signed by its maker, at thrift stores on sojourns out west, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Texas. Back in the studio, I select an associative signature from my exhibition guest books and transcribe it using a one-inch grid, so to enlarge it, onto the recovered painting––second hand, as it were. I then sign it with my self-nomination, R. Buck. By coupling a discarded, signed painting with a littered signature and endorsing the consequent work by inscribing my self-made name, I derange the role of all three contributors and query the act of naming... ...

Artists on Andy Warhol
Dia Art Foundation Publication Series


Artists on Andy Warhol is the third installment in a series culled from Dia Art Foundation’s Artists on Artists lectures, focused on the work of Andy Warhol. This small-format book delves into the artist’s oft-quoted phrase: “If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface: of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There’s nothing behind it.” Artists on Andy Warhol breaks down this iconic phrase to investigate Warhol’s relationship with art, culture, language, and race with essays that examine the significance of halftones and shadows and look to sources such as Ralph Ellison and Jacques Lacan...

I am writing while on American Airlines 10:30 am flight 2521 from New York City to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, on the morning of 9/11, 2018, a Tuesday coincidentally. The outdoor temperature upon take off is 74˚. This is the only unbroken time I have to write, a condition not inappropriate to the Urgent! theme of this Lacanian Review. I am writing on my fidget spinner, otherwise known as an iPhone. In a surreal, contingent occurrence, before I boarded the plane, an interval unwound in which the mad world, or a recess of it, came to a sudden, breathtaking halt.

"Summer Days" by Georgia O'Keeffe
Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection


In coming upon “Summer Days”, we are immediately confronted to an object, a skull, a remainder. And to silence; I can 'hear' the high noon stillness of the desert, sun in my eyes, the skull as an afterimage, a mirage. And yet I’m confounded. Shouldn’t this thing, this bone, sun-bleached and sanded, be found at my feet, not elevated above me, floating, noble and majestic, as a cipher? By what fantasmatic turn, magical or shamanistic alchemy, does this litter, the remains most likely of a violent event... [Read More]

Andy Warhol / a
Artists on Artists Lecture, Dia Center for the Arts


Warhol. Warhola. What if we take Warhol as his word, and consider his acts of writing as a viable means by which to index his visual art? My proposal is that Warhol’s encounter with language was traumatic [as it is for us all], and the consequences ramify as a unifying trait that underwrites his art. And with reference to the teachings of Jacques Lacan, namely his interpretation of the writings of James Joyce, I want to insinuate that Warhol was psychotic, an “ordinary psychotic”, who for this reason exemplifies our time, with its waning status...
