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 [...]

Jay Shinn has studios in both Dallas and New York and I have been interested in seeing his work for some time. Since the second grade Jay has known he wanted to be an artist. He experimented using oil, tempura, and pencil to make both figurative and abstract works, however, it was in the ninth [...]

Peter Eleey has done a magnificent job of curating a moving and artistically solid exhibition. He explained to the small group he led through his show at PS1 that the idea for it had been brewing in his head for awhile. Curators are usually the experts trying to teach the audience something with an exhibition, but in [...]

Chelsea was hopping on Saturday and it wasn’t just a browsing crowd, I saw some big collectors out shopping.

I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition “Ostalgia.” And it’s about time the New Museum finally got some kudos for a show. Stemming from a term that came about in the 1990s, the title describes “a sense of longing and nostalgia for the era before the collapse of the Communist Bloc.” In the struggle for people to [...]

“Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities” at MAD is an entertaining exhibition. It investigates how technology changes viewers’ perception of images. The focus is international artists who make miniature worlds through the use of models akin to the dioramas people of my generation grew up making for their book reports. But these are much more [...]

If you are in New York, there is no escaping talk of the McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And for good reason. The exhibition includes work by the infamous designer from his postgraduate show in 1992 to his final collection that graced the runway after his sudden, tragic February 2010 suicide. McQueen’s [...]

Born in Tripoli, Fawad Khan has lived in Pakistan, Baltimore, and now New York. His environs tremendously impact his artwork; his oeuvre includes drawings with ink and gouache, paintings, wall drawings that incorporate video and installations.
His powerful work, which has most often included subject matter related to suicide bombings and the violence that has become [...]
