The Subtle Perspective
by Georgina Ruff
Jin Lee at Devening Projects + Editions
April 22nd, 2012 - June 2nd, 2012
Posted
5/4/12
As the title suggests, subtle contradictions frame Jin Lee's current show, The Near and the Far at the Devening Project Space. There is always the stark contrast of interior vs. exterior at Devening: the dilapidation of West Carroll that secrets the crisp clean whiteness of the gallery. Lee's photographs soften, yet continue this contrast, playing stark against serene, universality against specificity, and yes, near against the distant far.
The works are immaculately installed in the solely dedicated... [more]

Back in 2002, John Allen Muhammad, the “Washington Sniper,” captivated the country through his brief months of infamy as he made his way with his young accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo on a long and winding road from Washington state, through the Southwest and Deep South, to Maryland and Washington, D.C. gunning down twenty-seven random victims with his rifle. In 2005, photographer Joel W. Fisher retraced Muhammad’s journey, shooting with his camera the depopulated sites of the killer’s deeds. Leaving as... [more]

hen Water Street Studios first opened in its temporary space near the corner of Water Street and Wilson in Batavia, IL, my mind was filled with preconceptions about the art that would be on display. Having attended various art fairs in the western suburbs, I assumed the art of Water Street would be more of the same: nature photography, realistic paintings, and predictable abstraction. Upon entering I was taken aback. What was once my hometown’s candy store had become a space containing striking me... [more]

Review: Alysia Kaplan/Living Room Gallery
RECOMMENDED
Fascinated by the “experience” contained in homes of the past, Alysia Kaplan seeks “points of entry” by making wall sculptures of ornate doorknobs, old-fashioned keys and a fancy doormat. She paints her works in the same fresh white color as the wall, places them on it symmetrically with a door knob and keys at each end, and the doormat between them at the bottom. To complete her installation, Kaplan has placed on top, above the mat, two sof... [more]

Candace Hunter is this second type of colla... [more]
