Paris Syndrome
The main concept for Yang Jun’s solo exhibition, Paris Syndrome, included not only the video installation Paris Syndrome (which is most akin to usual works meant for exhibitions) but also the infrastructure and interior design for the gallery, which created a living space that invited one and all to enter a new possible living environment, […]
Streichelzoo
Streichelzoo (‘strAIkel,zu:) means "petting zoo" in German, an apt label for a showcase of the quirky cast of creatures about to enter Carmichael Gallery. The artwork in the show embraces a brand new phase in Herakut’s artistic evolution, as they continue to take risks and blend their signature styles into one unique, refreshing urban voice. […]

San Antonio Report: J. Derrick Durham at Joan Grona Gallery
Durham’s works address the melding of theology and philosophy to create a world in which we are able to evaluate and weigh issues against the scale of reason and logic. The mastery of this technique allows us not to conform to the masses but instead, to understand, rise above, and then influence the masses. This […]
Honest Work
When looking at art, is it fair to differentiate between what is erotic and what is not? Erotica is very personal, so trying to establish work as erotic is almost impossible. For example, in a Seurat study for The Echo, it is the curve of an arm and a hand raised to the mouth that […]
Elements of Inspiration
I am interested in exploring the nuclear-powered sublime on a firsthand basis. Over the past several years, this interest has provoked excursions to malignant locations like the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, former East German Atomic Bunkers, and the Swedish Space Corporation’s Esrange Launch Site in the Arctic Circle. In addition to these specifically charged spaces, I […]
In Search of Lost Time
