Kakyong Lee recent inclusion in “Drawings and Prints, Selections from the Permanent Collection”—an exhibit showcasing drawings, etchings, and prints from the mid 16th through today—at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was a significant and impressive demonstration of her significant contribution to the contemporary art world. Her animations, installation, and prints on paper were in the […]

Rick Briggs: I like that term “visual wit”, and I think some of those earlier paintings had some of that too. Paintings like One Liner, Red Studio, and Through the Cracks, for example, had this quality, with the later two expressing the idea of an art career gone awry. But I agree the humor was […]

Carolanna Parlato: My new body of work, Behind the Sun, is meant to embody the chaotic and transitory nature of our world. Natural phenomena are all around us: in afternoon shadows, or the glow of the morning sky, shifting clouds, and the sway of branches that are visible from my rear window. When I paint […]

Galleries can be imposing places. The vast white cube designed to imbue work with importance often misses the mark in engulfing work within a sterile blank space. Mark Dagley’s current show at Minus Space makes me think that he is wary of this. By no means a lightweight, Dagley has put together a show that […]

On the other hand, Nesbit’s process appears slower, with a strong […]

Sandy’s impact on us has been inconsequential relative to the devastation that Chelsea has suffered. Patton and I were there yesterday walking from gallery to gallery offering our services, and finally ending up at Printed Matter. Witnessing the damage was sickening and surreal, but seeing the steady efforts to salvage and restore business were encouraging, […]

This might seem like a relatively basic question but if I were to say that the experience of looking at Richard Prince’s rephotographed Marlboro ads made me weep, then what would be the difference when encountering the original as a magazine spread — would there be some kind of meaning inherent in that experience if […]

  “The exhibition will be comprised of two bodies of work: Several work on paper using graphite, oil stick and correction fluid to document Life Forms, locations, equipment and events; and a single large-scale sculpture, DEFEND_Station, that will be comprised of numerous elements from the studio, such as Floating Heads, time-collectors, blockers and shivs. The […]

The two selected 14 galleries to participate culling from India, Japan, Taiwan, Korea and more.
