Female Subjects, Liminal Spaces
I perform scenarios that give visibility to the conflicts of desire and identity as I experience them. Through the camera, I am able to transgress the limits of my body in order to express and reflect upon the nature of these experiences in ways that might otherwise be impossible. The staging of theatrical, intimate, […]
“Ray’s a Laugh” Opens at Half Gallery in the Lower East Side
Serving as a tantalizing example of artistic independence and wit, Ray Johnson is an artist of almost mythic proportions. Purposefully setting himself off tangentially from the focus of the art scene radar throughout his life, Johnson was an artist who was constantly testing the boundaries of his relationship to the exhibition environment. This seemingly self-depreciating […]
Venice Biennale: Art In The Time Of Doubt
As the vaporetti shuffle visitors to and from the islands that comprise la Venezia, you realize that even Italians are tourists here.

Johnston Foster: New Works
Johnston Foster brings a long-lost sensibility of hand-craftedness to his sculptures, which open a window into humankind’s obsessions and follies while demonstrating a sheer love of making something out of what is wastefully consigned to the dustbin. His signature style is to create work out of discarded, cast-off materials he finds strewn across highway […]
