STREAM at White Box Gallery
Thursday, 1 May 2008 12:23This project encompasses the interconnection of works by 12 artists, which much like the irregular sway of a pendulum in endless motion, express a sensation of difference, and at times, even of opposition. This dissemblance or difference is not only formal, but also harnesses issues related to the representation of image, time, seriality, and repetition […]

John Rosis, Finding Form at Westchester Gallery
Thursday, 1 May 2008 11:16In an exhibition titled Finding Form, it seems safe to assume the artist’s concerns favor process over product. Given that reverse glass paintings dominate the exhibition in number, if not scale, a meditation on the logistics and perceptible effects of this medium would seem to be in keeping with the spirit of this quiet, process-oriented […]

Jasper Johns: Gray at The Metropolitan Museum
Wednesday, 30 April 2008 10:47Jasper Johns, the great mariner of modern art, guides us down deep into the world of gray in this shining 200-piece retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Sobin Park at the Tenri Cultural Institute of New York
Tuesday, 29 April 2008 11:41William Shakespeare referred to sexual intercourse as “the beast with two backs”—something of a fitting description for the works of Sobin Park, on display at the Tenri Cultural Institute of New York. Park’s art, and the obsessiveness, sexuality, beauty, and beastliness portrayed in the act of love making, and the passion and pleasure evidenced in […]

Panni Malek
Monday, 28 April 2008 12:43My work has always been about things in myself that I feel incredibly uncomfortable with and embarrassed by. I exploit what’s dangerous and scares me about myself. I collect; I hoard… I do weird shit. Right now I’m trying to paint a series of still lives of all my trinkets… including a jade dildo, this […]

Pedro Cabral Santo
Monday, 28 April 2008 12:38There is no all-embracing and global way of understanding art. I favor the logic of work, inquiry, and the kind of experimentation that rejects the idea of the illuminated artist, and the “bad” romantic sense of art. Pedro Cabral Santo is a multi-media artist based in Lisbon. Pedro Cabral Santo, The Hit of Courbet, […]

Mike Norkin
Friday, 25 April 2008 13:21My work embodies subjects that range in subject from simple-celled organisms to political and societal statements; I tend not to gravitate towards any one subject. These ideas are set within portal-like spaces of rimmed pumice. The overall effect is dimensional and draws the viewer in with intensely contrasted colors. Mike Norkin is a New […]
