Coinciding with their current two-person exhibition at Longhouse Projects, NYC, The Other Side and In Between, Christian Bonnefoi and Ana Cardoso had a conversation on painting. Christian Bonnefoi: The title proposed by the exhibition, The Other Side and In Between, names a divergence and modification of the rules of painting to the extent that the work’s realization is […]

I first learned about Bodega over three years ago when they were only on their third exhibition—a solo presentation of Nicholas Gottlund, an interdisciplinary artist who runs an exquisite press, Gottlund Verlag, between Los Angeles (where he now lives) and Eastern Pennsylvania (where he started it). The following month, one of my best friends and […]

Hannah Höch was a pioneer Dadaist of 1920’s Berlin. Somewhat forgotten, or at least pigeon-holed by art history; she was a social provocateur who clashed with the Nazis and was found guilty of Entartete Kunst (degenerate art). The exhibition is a survey of the artist’s works on paper and is the first major exhibition of Höch’s […]

Theo Rosenblum’s third solo show with Vito Schnabel features a series of black, monochromatic reliefs, which are a shift from the artist’s typically colorful and ebullient, pop-infused sculptures. The show is a darkly romantic meditation on the power dynamics of predator and prey, as well as death and the manifold forms it takes on, both […]

Vincent Desiderio is perhaps settling too comfortably into the role of master.  Long considered one of the more skilled and thoughtful painters of our generation, his impressive 2011 showing at New York’s Marlborough put him amongst our best.  The exhibition remains a peak moment in Desiderio’s career, where decades of discipline, contemplation, experimentation and deliberate […]

For his first solo exhibition in New York, Jesse Greenberg reveals himself as a sensual materialist who balances freely between the two seemingly incongruous worlds of the natural and synthetic. The works range in scale from midsized to small sculptures and reliefs, and are arranged in a way that is comfortable, intimate, and results in […]

From February 17 – 19 2013, Sarah Gold and Karlyn De Jongh introspected Ben Vautier in Nice, France. Through different performances – round table conversations, body painting, communication through written texts, or by lying together in bed in the ‘Ben Room’ of their hotel – ‘Ben’ was investigated, openly discussing any topic. The following text is […]

In one of his poems, Charles Simic talks about stopping before a closed butcher shop on a late-night walk, where “There are knives that glitter like altars/ in a dark church.” Michael Brennan’s new razor paintings have this feel to them, that of wandering your neighborhood after dark and making it strange again and again. […]

Driven by a wish to do good for society, Yoko Ono (1933, Tokyo, Japan) creates works—ideas, scores, performances, sculptures, installations, music—that address the effect of ideas on the actions of human beings, allowing the viewer to see things in a new light. Yoko Ono’s new work Arising was presented at the 55th Venice Biennale at […]

Leah Oates: How did you become an artist and what is your family background? Greg Sholette: To be honest, growing up outside Philadelphia watching Jacques Cousteau specials on television, my real childhood ambition was to become a marine biologist not an artist. You know, slip on a wetsuit, jump in a submersible, discover new types […]
