Inaugurating the MCA Screen space at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, Canadian born David Hartt has created a media-base environment. Born in 1964, Hartt now lives and works in Chicago and is best known for photographs he takes with a “dispassionate eye.” Hartt’s subject matter for this project is Chicago’s Johnson Publishing Company building [...]

Prospect 2-New Orleans
The Prospect 2 biennial runs from Oct. 22, 2011 to January 29, 2012. Founded in 2008 by curator Dan Cameron after Hurricane Katrina, it was created in an effort to help revitalize the city. I was so sad I didn’t make it to Prospect 1 as I heard it was amazing. 42,000 people [...]

Sanford Biggers: Sweet Funk-An Introspective
This exhibition, on view in the main rotunda of the museum, shows Sanford’s work made from 2002-2009. I thoroughly enjoyed this show, not only because I like Sanford’s work and own one of his pieces, but also because it is small which allows the viewer to spend ample time digesting the [...]

Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis

Tim is a friend to everyone. From the moment he picked me up at the train station, I felt like I had known him for years. Born in Malawi, Tim grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts in a family full of artists. Always extremely curious, Tim has been photographing since he was a child though he [...]

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 [...]
