Fukuko Harris
Most of my work is based on observation. I feel that my perspectives separate themselves from reality… Fukuko Harris Most of my work is based on observation. I feel that my perspectives separate themselves from reality, and some may be more recognizable than others. After carefully studying objects, I begin drawing interpretations. Arranging the […]
Rene Lynch and Julian Jackson – Artist2Artist – Leah Oates
LO: Please explain your works. Rene Lynch: My oil paintings and watercolors reflect my interest in the manipulations of desire and the desirability inherent in the age of adolescence, the moment of balance between innocence and experience. That powerful and vulnerable stage of life full of sexual and intellectual yearning, when a child begins to […]
Bionic Pop Vision – Leah Oates
Leah Oates: Please explain your work. Heidi Cody: I needle consumer culture by lifting and subverting design elements from product packaging and corporate logos. So far it’s been signs, sculpture, painting, prints and drawing. My work shows how visual information is transmitted from corporation to consumer, and how it makes recognition a conscious act on […]
In Flux in Williamsburg Artist2Artist – Milton Fletcher

The bride and groom disappear under a Harry Potter-esque invisible cloak and, for the entire duration of the wedding ceremony, are only recognized as blurry, invisible matter. I understood it as an obvious […]
5 Pointz – Jillian Steinhauer
Standing on the corner of Jackson and 46th Avenues in Long Island City looking to the west, you see the façade of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center as it blends into the Manhattan skyline. It is a romantic view, hard not to admire and even harder to turn away from. But, if you happen to glance […]
Max Schumannâs âPainting News Projectâ – Daniel Rothbart
From the lethal pyrotechnics that rocked Baghdad in the early days of the war to the steady diet of video in the wake of suicide bombings and IED attacks, media has brought the Iraq War into American living rooms. “Embedded” reporters, as though part of some macabre reality show, compete to stay alive and show […]
Watts Urban Planning? – Anna Jackson
You couldn’t be blamed for responding to Fiona Jack’s work emotionally and then figuring out the meaning later. Like a song that you don’t know all the words to, but sing along anyway, Jack calls her viewers into a chorus before we are even sure what we are singing about. Her recent installation After The […]
Stephen Shore at the ICP – Elwyn Palmerton
Among the best of the works in Stephen Shore’s show at the International Center of Photography is a photo of a McDonald’s hamburger, Perrine, Florida, November 11, 1977. It’s a portal through time that asserts, in one swift psychic jolt, how culture changes and how specific the look of any particular moment is. Look closely […]
