Captivated by the essence of interfaces-between cellular connections and the trivialities that determine physical boundaries. Captivated by the essence of interfaces-between cellular connections and the trivialities that determine physical boundaries. We determine micro/macro existence and correlate each to our experiences. When subjecting each to opposite surroundings, it is evident that the importance of our […]
Canceled Arrangements
A proclivity for contradiction is evident in Steven Foy’s recent solo exhibition, The Arrangement Series, at the Broadway Gallery. A minimalist whose economic use of geometric shapes elicits a vocabulary of the nuance, a brilliant colorist with a penchant for discreet shades of gray, an abstract painter whose subject matter is the failure of abstraction, […]
Walking on Water
I like to think of my recent work as a Frankenstein-like stepchild of the Hudson River School. Thomas Cole and his companions used to hike the Catskills with sketchbook in hand returning home to assemble landscapes of the sublime. I lug a backpack full of expensive technology to capture fragments of nature, and then sit […]
Poetic Navigation

The empty space below each helmet implies where a body would be. Taken as a whole, […]

The project Personal Structures: Time—Space—Existence takes this development as its point of departure, and aims to present contemporary artists’ perspectives on the concepts of time, space, and existence. For Personal Structures, Max Cole gave an interview about her work. The paintings of Max Cole […]
Animated Jamming
My work is fundamentally based on drawing, but this is reinvented through large-scale site-responsive installations, interventions, drawings, and animations. All my work intends to sketch morphing and imaginary environments. For me, the ability to transform is key, and installation allows spaces to become immersive, fragile environments into which the audience can enter. I want the […]
Marija Tanaskovic – Papadopoulos
The Great works of Art are reflecting not only our impressions about them, but the deepest wishes, which are following every human being.
