Art as Protest: Aux Arts Citoyens – Nina Zivancevic
It’s been a while since I first understood that no one can discover the contemporary French art scene simply by going to the Georges Pompidou Center. However, if you stay in Paris for, say, longer than four weeks, you can discover a lively, visceral and often subversive type of urban art. The so-called street art […]
The Inner Workings of Cold Contact – Curator Joshua Altman
Cold contact evangelism requires a leap of faith. It is, by definition, a method of making oneself vulnerable in the hope that a faith-based connection will occur between two strangers. Those who practice cold contact evangelism are ministers who successfully share the gospel with strangers. For those gifted in this mode of outreach, cold contact […]

DADA Deconstructed & Resurrected by MoMA – Valery Oisteanu
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was Dada whose light burned briefly but brightly. What was Dada? As Tristan Tzara put it, “Dada is a state of mind. Dada is a supreme religion of truth and true feelings, feelings that can be communicated through ‘wireless telepathy.’ Dada is the collective power of […]
The Wolkowitz Aesthetic: Pulsating Futures – Andrea Liu
Upon entering the Bryce Wolkowitz gallery in Chelsea, New York, one often feels an uncanny sensation of skating the rims of a futuristic otherworldiness: a cryptic hollowed-out future void of human meaning, oddly detached yet doomed in its aura of absence of human-motivated intentionality. The pieces in Wolkowitz’s exhibitions often seem to coalesce into a […]
At the Beach with Dellamarie Parilli and Thomas Nuzum – Ann Landi and Edward Rubin
Marijana Bego, the ebullient director of the Ezair Gallery at the beach community of Southampton, could not have selected a more refreshing pairing for their August summer show than that of painters Dellamarie Parilli and Thomas Nuzum. Nor could the artists, both of whom live overlooking water in their home states, have asked for a […]
Transcending Physicality through Materials – Camilla Belchoir

That which is deemed immaterial is here material. The impact of this blurring of boundaries and certainties is […]
