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.
Here are my picks to see in Chelsea:
Nick Cave-”Ever-After” at Jack Shainman in collaboration with Mary Boone (513 West 20th Street)
It is about time the general public discover what the art world has known for awhile, [...]

Okay so here is the kind of art I expect to see on my visits to Santa Fe:
But I was actually pleasantly surprised by a number of shows I saw. Good thing I know where to go on my visits.

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

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 [...]

When he was 24, Ai Wei Wei left China and moved to Brooklyn, the East Village  and the Lower East Side in New York City. Though he was unknown in the States, he had already had his now infamous 1979 Stars exhibition in Beijing. He took over 10,000 photographs during his ten years in New [...]

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 Padiglione Centrale is where a large portion of Bice Curiger’s curated show “Illuminations” can be found.
Upon entering the space, Gianni Colombo’s “Elastic Space” reminds me of Gormley’s recent “Breathing Room.” It is made of phosphorescent thread in rectangular forms. It glows in the pitch black room it is installed in and returns to the [...]
