In September of 2007, Gabriel Shaffer and I participated in a joint exhibit combining his paintings with my poetry, allowing both art forms to react with, and against the other. We called it Animal Returns, and as the title suggests, we embraced the experience as a journey through the guts, the teeth, the eggs, and […]

In the fall of 1994, I began to photograph lovers in the SM scene in New York. My work had explored issues of sexual desire for many years, and sadomasochism was not new to me. It was the natural next step in a journey that I had set out on many years before. I had […]

“I am not interested in function and logic. I want to achieve transcendence,” says Fredrik Söderberg. The snow-covered clearing in Narnia is the beginning of a journey into a magical world. Much like the dreams of shamans, drug-induced hallucinatory states, and sexual experiences, Söderberg’s work can be understood as the transgression of boundaries and the […]

These early kaleidoscopically arranged pop-culture die-cuts—culled from the Internet and other commercial media—helped define the artist’s practice of re-contextualizing popular imagery. As a collector and curator of visual content, Eicher works with the Warhol readymade mentality of many contemporary media […]

Angel Rengell, sculptor, painter, and exceptional drawer, studies and purifies his lines until they reach their clearest expression; his nudes are a declared exaltation of the physical wish. Eroticism is part of his complete philosophy. His drawings establish a conception of skillfully represented lines, employing all expressive possibilities. The seductive influence of the moon is […]

In 2006 I came to Shanghai for the first time for a couple of months, where I came in contact with the experimental music/noise scene in Shanghai. Leo Xu organized a show at the Zhu Quizan Museum with Wang Changcun and I. We discovered many common threads in our work and the way we perceive […]

Having the opportunity to work large scale has been such a gift to me. While it is much more challenging, logistically in particular, it is also much more rewarding. It is a blessing to have this degree of accuracy in terms of my vision—especially with respect to the nightmares on which most of my work […]

"Vision is not the right word," Donald Pass explains, "it really was like a veil had been lifted. I was so aware of it going on, and yet it was as if I wasn’t there, as if I was watching a film." Sitting in a graveyard one day, Pass had an extraordinary vision. It was […]

Five years after the gallery’s first Thomas Zipp exhibition in 2003, its engagement with the work is carried on in a survey of paintings produced from 2002-2007, which is comprised mainly of portraits and landscapes.Thomas Zipp […]

Montana based artist Terry Karson brings a collection of 39 "Fragments" to San Antonio’s Sala Diaz. A series began shortly after a trip to Turkey with his wife in 2004, the compositions are inspired by tiled surfaces of Turkish mosques that directed the artist’s interest toward age-bearing materials and the remnants of an obsolete language.
