Jacob Kassay at 303 Gallery
Using the residual textiles from paintings long lost, sold or otherwise disappeared, Kassay has produced supports that follow the unique profiles and contours of each remnant for an ongoing series of irregularly shaped paintings. As an inversion of this procedure, Kassay has reproduced the stretchers initially built to conform to these discards as templates […]
Between Asking and Telling: An Interview with Rachel Beach
Matthew Hassell: Outside of previous work, where do you find inspiration to begin a new sculpture? Rachel Beach: The works usually begin with something very elemental. I try to simplify—I think about a construction: how do you build something … a stack, a mark, a seam, an edge, the intersection of two things, a point […]
Jaana Houessou
I am a Finnish visual artist. I work partly in Finland, partly in Benin, West Africa. Locating myself continuously between the Scandinavian and African cultural atmospheres reflects strongly in my pieces. Often my paintings observe the happenings, views and thoughts of everyday life. I paint and draw overlapping layers of images, colors, characters and texts. […]

For the past three years I’ve been combining street art with fine art in an attempt to unify the two. The addition of bright colors and traditional Mexican artwork helped me bring my heritage to canvas. All of my most resent subjects are from the surrounding area of the southwest.

Tribute to Errors and Leftovers with Konrad Smolenski and Daniel Szwed
Dressed only in balaclavas and pants, Daniel Szwed and Konrad Smolenski unleash a dynamic three hour sound explosion as part of Performa 13. Fresh from representing Poland in the Venice Biennale, Smolenski sets the tone in deafening fashion with his custom electric instrument modeled after a tomahawk missile, while Szwed mounts a particularly violent assault […]
Gianni Caravaggio and the Essence of the Image
For years now Gianni Caravaggio’s work has insistently been posing a single question: what is the essence of an image? Posing this question at the end of postmodernity means freeing oneself from any fears of comparisons with the past, shedding all neo-isms, post-isms, and trans-isms to expose oneself to an original gesture, to an initial […]

Artistic action posits a relationship with the spectator that prompts emotions and reflections through visual content.Through my art, I express concepts and emotions that are tied to my life experiences. After months of meditation, I impress my conceived images on canvas using varied and new techniques. My double canvas paintings represent explicit messages where the […]
Dealing Drugs with Jibade-Khalil Huffman
In his first solo exhibition at Samuel Freeman in Los Angeles, The Four People You Meet at Every Drug Deal, Jibade-Khalil Huffman brought his viewer into a world of myriad, reflecting surfaces; a coreless expanse of language and image that flitted over the face of something unutterable. Huffman showed work in a range of media […]
