Art in FiberMeredith Cutler
"Fans of fiber art have reason to head to Boston’s North Shore this May. Celebrating their 90th anniversary this year, the Marblehead Arts Association presents “Art in Fiber” at their galleries in the restored King Hooper Mansion.
Paper, with its mashed and intertwined fibrous DNA, holds court in book-based art by Carole P. Kunstadt. Her ongoing “Sacred Poem” series de- and re- constructs the 1844 an... [more]

FRIEZE: The Enchanted Isle of Art?
by Lori Zimmer
Frieze is entering their first foray into the world of the New York art fair with a splash…a splash that lasts about 20 minutes and comes in the form of their very own fair ferry. Bucking the trend of setting up shop at an armory or around the piers along the perimeter of Manhattan, Frie... [more]

Fair-a-thon: The Experience of Way Too Much, with Charles Schultz

Can you do Frieze, Pulse, and Nada in one day?
Art Critic’s Warning: an experience of Way Too Much may result in the mental and visual impairment known as “art-malaise,” or “A.M.” Symptoms include eyestrain, inability to concentrate, short-term memo... [more]
On close inspection, these portraits might seem nothing more than random blobs and globs. But moving away just a little bit, one realizes the concept and its skillful execution: these masterful portraits are somewhere in between painting and sculpture, and the requirement for distant viewing makes the artist's execution seem all the more miraculous. Jim Pallas may not himself be a giant of Detroit art, but clearly he has learned much by standing on their shoulders.
That previous sentence suggests... [more]
I felt a quasi-religious feeling upon entering the Nir Hod exhibition at Paul Kasmin. The title of the exhibition, Mother, refers to the image of a woman repeated, icon-like, across the gallery. Vaguely cinematic but with only subtle variation in color to distinguish one painting from the next, I wondered about the significance of the repetition and the meaning of her gesture.
The woman could easily be shopping on Fifth Avenue. Towards the back of the gallery there is a small reproduction revealing the well-known source: Hod's paintings are based on a photograph taken in the W... [more]
The Museum of Modern Art is host to two significant exhibitions, both of which explore Photography’s relationship to reality. Cindy Sherman’s 6th floor mid-career retrospective and Eugene Atget’s “Documents pour artistes”, hidden away in the Photography 3rd floor galleries, represent diametrically opposed positions.
First some notes on the Sherman retrospective, which is the big draw. The first room held a couple of revealing images. Revealing to me at least, because I had nev... [more]
I first stumbled across Vivian Maier’s black and white street scenes at Mass MoCA over the summer and had the opportunity to re-visit her work in several New York City exhibitions. By now, everyone is familiar with the story behind this work. Maier worked as a nanny and had a passion for photography. Her time off was primarily spent photographing people on the streets of Chicago. She died in 2009, leaving a storage locker full of tens of thousands of negatives and thousands of exposed but unde...

Artist Tom Estes, enters the realm of Loonytune physics to create a successful science and pop-media crossover, making a ‘Portable Black Hole’ from the darkest material ever made. The carpet of carbon nano- tubes reflects 0.045 percent light, making it 100 times darker than a black-painted Corvette according to researchers from Rice University, The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and NASA.
Remember the Road Runner Show? Simple in its premise, the Road Runner, a flightless cartoon bird (loosely based on a real bird, the Greater Roadrunner), is chased down the highways of the Southwester... [more]
East Meets West at New West Side Manhattan Gallery
by Patrick Neal on March 21, 2012
Left, The entrance to 320 West 37th Street, and right, views of the Hugh Millard Exhibition at SBM Gallery (all photos by author for Hyperallergic)
The experience of visiting the new SBM Gallery in what was once the nether regions of Manhattan’s West Side is disorienting in all the right ways. Traipsing through the Garment District, one gets an authentic New York experience of old school industry and dive bars. Then, passing through the ornate, stylized entranc... [more]
Behold; you will be captured by the power of its true nature. There is beauty in these flowers but this is not mere beauty. It is one that comes from inside them, for the eyes (the windows of the soul) are in every fold of the petals, in every stamen and around every delicate contour touched carefully by the light.
There is here a dualistic representation, the one that conforms to the standards of natural beauty (always appreciated) and one that is not easily understood, an inner power tha... [more]

This is the 9th annual exhibition of contemporary Indian art, but for me, this was my first time going to this event. I have to admit that I've never been to an ethno-centric "survey" group show and I don't usually travel to the deep outer boroughs to see art. Yes, I'm a stereotypic outer-borough snob, but the idea of the show interested me and it was an easy ride on the 7 train to one of the most bustling neighborhoods you could imagine.
As expected, this group show was a real mixed bag of wo... [more]
Sprouting Rivets

What is most striking about Helene Brandt’s new show in the fifth floor Metro Gallery is how she reveals the relationship between organic elements and a mechanical world. She seamlessly interweaves both to show the full circle our Earthly history has travelled from organic to mechanical and back to organic again. Her sculptures are reminiscent of archeological artifacts, but this time discovered by future scientists in an apocalyptic world that has yet... [more]
