When It Happens Itââ¬â¢s Like a Sparkle – Icelandic Love Corporation
When things go well there is no thinking, but only trust. A trust in the feeling that something is right. If everyone feels a yes inside, something happens. To do without thinking is letting go of reasoning. It can be in the way and can delay the functions of the brain, which is operating in […]

White – Rachel Abramovitz
Tchera Niyego, the curator of the “White” show at the Broadway Gallery, NYC, happens to be a woman of style and substance. Luckily for me, the show lived up to what I have come to expect from her (because there is nothing worse than having to face a beautiful woman and tell her she’d better […]
Made in China РLance Dehn̩

Kendrick Mar
The paintings of Kendrick Mar convey childhood emotions and an off-balance sense of nostalgia. His sparse compositions are occupied by lonely doll-like figures rendered on colorful and thickly textured surfaces. Images are pared down and reduced to their most essential components, imparting them with iconographic immediacy. The roughly formed figures register as vaguely familiar cartoon […]
Pioneering the Avant-Garde – Lisa Paul Streitfeld
Music, the purest of all the artistic mediums, was at the forefront of avant-garde experimentation throughout the 20th century. The collaborations between Beat poets and jazz musicians in the 50s gave rise to the 60s counterculture movement that was propelled by avant-garde experiments with music arising from chance encounters in everyday life and the popularity […]
