    • The Journal: A Eulogy – Jennifer New

      Monday, 3 July 2006 07:54

      Anyone who keeps a journal understands the intensely personal nature of it. In the age of Friendster profiles, live journals, blogs and the generally increased ability to live in public via technology, the space opened by this two-dimensional surface becomes increasingly sacred.

    • Janet Cardiff, Walk in My Shoes – Tianna Lewis

      Monday, 3 July 2006 07:48

      In the traditional use of text, the readers’ field of vision is occupied with a white page lined with black shapes. This minimal of visual stimuli begins to fade off if one reads for any length of time, as the ideas formed by the combination of these marks overwhelm their meaning (or lack thereof) as […]

      Monday, 3 July 2006 07:40

      With artist, entrepreneur, publisher, gallerist, Abraham Lubelski, anything that engages his attention and imagination is possible. Five years ago, not long after I launched Maverick Arts Magazine as an eletter, he was one of the first to respond.

      I saw a crowd was gathered as I approached. Shifting from side to side, milling about, across the street from the NYU Bobst library.

    • TEXT/ART – Rebecca Lossin

      Monday, 3 July 2006 07:35

      Text is not a new subject for art, nor have its components changed. But it stands as a testament to the limitless nature of a finite set of 26 character–give or take a few accents.

      Jin Shan’s exhibition at the 1918 Art Space is called " I Am 27 Years Old." Jin Shan was 27 when he completed the series, and there is one picture for every year of his life. The work is about China and Chinese people, but it is also about people in general, and the way […]

    • Movers and Shakers – Colleen Becker

      Monday, 3 July 2006 07:25

      Like the Collision Machine collective that spawned the latest show at Wooster Arts Space, "Brooklyn Shakers" is more concerned with exhibiting new work by young Williamsburg and Bushwick artists than presenting a cohesive curatorial vision. Luckily, much of the work selected is strong enough to stand alone, even without the imposed structure of a theoretical […]
