You have until January 21st to catch the current exhibition of underappreciated artist Robert Overby’s work at Rhona Hoffman Gallery in Chicago. Long before Rachel Whiteread cast the inside of a house in London,Robert Overby, a California artist who lived from 1935-1993, layered latex and cheesecloth on the exterior of an abandoned house. The works that resulted [...]

Highlights from Miami 2011
I honestly think this is my first trip to Miami where I was unable to see everything I wanted to. Obviously I was down there for work so I had different priorities this trip. However, I still managed to see a lot of cool stuff, and some total crap too.
The best show [...]

Well, I have been a little busy so I hope you will forgive me for not posting this sooner. It was a bit insane in London with a great deal to see in a few short days. For the first time in a long while, I did not manage to see everything on my list. [...]

Unlimited Ocean at the Sullivan Galleries is a typical work by Wolfgang Laib; however, there is nothing typical about his work. 30,000 piles of rice (and a few made of pollen) have been meticulously placed on the gallery floor by the artist and SAIC student and alumni assistants during his ten-day residency at the School [...]

My first stop was a small museum just off the Plaza called the Museum of Contemporary [...]

I recently unearthed some footage of me checking out art and food in Santa Fe. If you are interested the link is below:

These shows are from late May and early June that I didn’t want to get lost in the immensity of the Venice information. Though they are no longer up I wanted to share the work with you.
Walking in to a group show at Yvon Lambert I was pleasantly surprised to find a work by Zilvinas [...]

The Arsenale
While the insanity of the Giardini occurred, I chose to begin my viewing at the Arsenale. This is where the large portion of the curated show by Bice Curiger is exhibited.
For the Biennale four artists were invited to create “para-pavilions” (Franz West, SongDong, Oscar Tuazon, and Monika Sosnowska.) These pavilions are large structures of [...]

Fondazione Emilio e Annabianca Vedova
Emilio Vedova who died in 2006 began artistic research in the 1930s when surrounded by the 17th century atmosphere of Venice. He was a major figure in the postwar art scene in the 1950s along with contemporaries Burri and Fontana and a leader in art informel movement. In 1997 he won [...]
