We point kaleidoscopes at the light to examine the creation of forms. The Allen Ruppersberg Sourcebook: Reanimating the 20th century, is a similar contrivance. It’s the second sourcebook in a series by Independent Curators International (ICI). The sourcebook is made up of archival materials, which were influential to Allen Ruppersberg’s art, specifically over nine projects (1978-2012). […]

Rachel Rossin is a truly versatile artist who moves easily between energetic paintings to immersive, otherworldly installations.

Could you tell me a little about where your work comes from and some of the experience that led you to make the work you are currently involved with creating? Tatiana Berg: I haven’t been painting for that long, relatively, but […]

Mick Rampartha is an oddball experimental American poet. Most of his work is in haiku form and plays with the most banal and primitive attributes of life. A few weeks before he brought me to the Mother Cabrini Shrine and the Cloisters, Mick had his prostate removed. I was the first person to visit him […]

Vince Contarino’s vivid abstractions make harmonious compositions out of seemingly disparate forms. Smoky swaths of brushwork melt in and out between elements of rigidly concise geometrical arrangements. Hear him tell NY Arts about one of his pivotal influences in this week’s release of our One Burning Question.
