Irena Jurek: You just came back from participating in the Nicaraguan Biennial, how was your experience? Leah Dixon: Incredible. I’m still processing everything. The curator, Omar Lopez-Chahoud, picked a group of international artists to work together and collaborate, and in general make responsive works. His intuition was spot-on. We worked together and collaborated with intense […]

A full crowd had gathered, elbow to elbow, skirting around the many playful Michael Mahalchick works spread throughout the space. It was one of the first pleasant nights of the year and almost everyone was wearing a smile as they sipped white wine from the gallery bar. This carefree, easy-going attitude would soon come in […]

Times were incredibly challenging, but somehow we made it through; the first partner has since […]

NY Arts: What is your artistic background? Do you identify as a filmmaker or as a painter?   Russell Sheaffer: I’ve been working on films for a while now — editing and producing for others and directing my own experimental work. I like to think of the experimental work that I’m doing as (often abstract) […]
