Friday, 18 May 2007 18:06Entering the Anderson Gallery to view Gerald Donato’s show, “Reinventing the Game,” I realized that, even though I have known him for six or seven years, I had not seen much of his work. Thus, I came to this show with an undisturbed palette. As I walked from room to room, I was continually blown […]

Thursday, 17 May 2007 18:22Drawing is something I have been doing for as long as I can remember.

Hans van der Kamp
Thursday, 17 May 2007 18:17I grew up in a very Catholic region of The Netherlands. In my youth there were separate schools for boys and girls.

Boris Starosta
Wednesday, 16 May 2007 18:50All grown up, we miss and yearn for the sensational experience of childhood: to wonder, love or fear; to have one’s curiosity aroused, spirit lifted and mind’s eye opened, in revelation. Through my work, I return to this childlike state, and I invite my audience along. I enjoy stereoscopic imaging in three-dimensions for several reasons, […]

Mediterranean Objects of Desire – Valery Oisteanu
Wednesday, 16 May 2007 18:47When I saw Joan Miro’s Woman Strolling on the Rambla of Barcelona at the Met, it reminded me of my own visit to that Spanish city several years ago, when, walking up the Rambla, I thought: "I can live here, all right."

After – John A. Bennette
Tuesday, 15 May 2007 18:30“After” consists of photographic impressions of life following (un)natural disasters. By taking an almost poetic approach to journalistic images, the photographs become the ciphers of a larger idea. These photographs are concerned with the intangible aspects of loss and memory, seeing not only what has been ravaged, but also the unexpected events and the otherworldliness […]
