Faced with the question of how to operate as an artist within an exuberant art market Cai Nyahoe plays with the parameters of an instantaneous society in his recent work: Towards a Semi-Autonomous Self-Perpetuating Art (Phone Sex). Shown at Satellite project space in Newcastle upon Tyne as a bare audio installation, the work presents a […]

Mexico holds a fascination for artists with its edgy proximity to nature. Teeming with life and death and heir to a civilization at once technologically advanced and steeped in human sacrifice, it is a country of contradictions. The folk religion of Mexico is a fascinating combination of Christianity and Mayan traditions, combining a pantheon of […]

Recently the Broadway Gallery NYC exhibited the work of Ukraine-born artist Igor Zaytsev. The pieces in the show were selected paintings that may appear realistic or abstract but in reality are extractions—a combination of the two extremes. The work asks the viewer to question what they are seeing: something realistic or something abstract or both. […]

With this series, I’m revealing a personal realization about the ANGEL; I’m not a religious person and this work has little to do with religion or even spirituality, but closer to the realms of math and biology. The ANGELS are symbols for the ANGLE. The angle of human DNA. Angels and the Holy Grail are […]

My artwork deals with different recording and collecting cultures, ranging from taxonomic forms of documentation to casual snapshots. I view my practice itself, a practice predicated on the labor-intensive re-recording of photographic information using manual means, as the manifestation of a recording impulse.

Marnie Weber: The Truth Speakers, The Sea of Silence is Simon Lee Gallery’s first solo show of Marnie Weber, an L.A.-based artist and musician. This multifaceted exhibition of film, sculpture, and collage immerses the viewer in the uncanny world of Weber’s imagination. The central focus of the show is the new film, The Sea of […]

The Super 8 films were made in the 1970s, shot as a parallel activity to my studio work and my drawing practice. With these films, my artistic output was enriched with an entirely fresh visual vocabulary, a product of hands-on reflection that intended to resist whatever was being imposed and established by the military dictatorship […]

Violence, in the most general sense of the word, has been a common subject to be studied, analyzed, and represented throughout art history. From Ribera to Tarantino or Günter Brus, it has been expressed in such different ways, but in rare occasions the result might be an affable image. Although the work of Carlos Aires […]
