• Lying Still

      Photographs produced by someone with a truly trained and experienced eye are a rare find these days, especially when you look at the abundance of photography in galleries today. There is so much accessibility to digitalization, auto focus, and Photoshopping that just about anyone has a shot at getting at least one great photo now […]

    • Dream Weaver

      In my Cinemage project, which refers to images from cinema, and homage to cinema, I show these still photo images through old-fashioned slide projections. At times, with music improvised by solo or duo guitarists, or without music, silent. Imagine a slide show that a family used to enjoy in their living room back in the […]

    • I’m a Barbie Girl in the Barbie World

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:21

      The main body of my work is a number of human dolls that aim to raise questions about the numerous images of the objectified and idealized body that we see in the mass media. The doll images are composites, with the dolls’ limb-joints painstakingly, digitally, superimposed onto the human subjects to create disturbing images. Often […]

    • Whispers of a Poet

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:18

      I produce my self-portraits to expose myself, but reveal nothing. The work is untitled and so, exists as a subjective art form. Laced with emotional angst. I live—within them, in a trance. Interrupted, only by divine intuition. Familiar surroundings warped to a dream like state representing the unknown. The perception of the viewer is not […]

    • The Deep Blue

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:09

      Palmira Hernández de Lück’s recent solo exhibition at Broadway Gallery was entitled Enigmatic Sensuality, an apt title testifying to the powerful and captivating work on view. Reminiscent of the work of Georgia O’Keefe and Mexican folk art, Hernández de Lück’s striking paintings draw us into an enigmatic and sensual world of fantasy, seduction, and spirit. […]

    • Performance, To Go

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 22:03

      For all the talk of Catholic self-denial and ritualistic sacrifice that has often surrounded Marina Abramovic’s work, it seems at least a little appropriate that Videoinstalaciones, a small but intensive survey representing some 35 years of Abramovic’s works on video, should be at Laboratorio Arte Alameda, a repurposed, colonial-era cathedral. Abramovic is, Blaines and Copperfields […]

    • Double Act

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 21:56

      French street artist JR is currently, in his own words, “focusing the eyes of the world on the women of Kenya.” This takes the form of constructing a vast rooftop installation made up of photographs of the eyes and faces of women from Kibera, 2,000 whole square meters of it, and is best viewed using […]

    • Time, Disintegrated

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 21:54

      Intervals is an experimental contemporary art series designed to reflect the spirit of today’s most innovative practices. Conceived to take place in the interstices of the museum’s exhibition spaces or beyond the physical confines of the building, the program invites a diverse range of artists to create new work for a succession of solo presentations. […]

    • Macroscopic Observations

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 21:52

      Broadthinking at Broadway Gallery in SoHo is a compilation of installations by 11 individual artists metamorphing natural or waste products into another form of existence, giving new life through use of the materials and ideas. As artists, they are able to manipulate, control, recycle materials into other products that motivate viewers’ conscience to their own […]

    • Form Warp

      Wednesday, 17 June 2009 21:47

      I seek a potential space for habitual symbols in my paintings, and I experiment with a recombination of various languages. Through individual experience and study of habitual symbols, I try to remain detached to the classical meanings of symbols in artistic creation. I try to transform strangeness into new forms to create concepts that surpass […]
