An Old Life Lived in the New Museum
by Sophia Powers
Posted
11/22/09
Have you ever wondered how you would behave—what you would do, how you would comport yourself while doing it-- if others were watching your “private actions?” I suppose this sort of rumination is the secular update of the classic notion that God is always watching.

Sparkly glimmers of light, high energy swipes of luminous paint and whimsical red, yellow and purple watercolor droplets—that’s what you’ll see at this uplifting painting exhibit. “Organic Impressions.” The show can be viewed until October 18, 2009 in the lobby of The Atelier, 635 West 42nd Street.

By ALISON GREGOR Published: May 8, 2009 AN art show is about to transform the empty spaces of One Brooklyn Bridge Park, and if Mary Mihelic, a real estate agent and artist, has her way, some art lovers — and artworks — will find permanent homes there.
Ms. Mihelic, an agent at Stribling & Associates with a master of fine arts degree from Parsons the New School for Design, is the curator of the art show, cheekily called “spctclr vws.”

After the Armory Show (and some much needed sustenance) we headed down to Pier 40 for Pulse New York. In terms of tracking down San Francisco galleries participating in the shows in New York, I hit the jackpot.
Baer Ridgeway Exhibitions was showing several local Bay Area artists, including Brion Nuda Rosch (above) and Clare Rojas (below):
Work by Chris Duncan (below) was also on display:
My personal heritage obliged me to stop at the Lena & Roselli Gallerybooth, apparently the only Hungarian gallery at New Yorks contemporary art fairs:

Stitches and Storytelling

Olja Stipanovic at Gallery MC
January 8th, 2009 - January 16th, 2009
Posted
1/8/09
Works by Olja Stipanovic examine individual and collective mythologies, methods of communication and signing, memory, history and identity, that are deconstructed, man-made or faked, and in constant flux, in a game of history, culture and power.
A drawing in thread seems to constitute a metaphor of women's hand work itself. Elements of composition are layered and done contour-wise in red thread on plain white paper background, pointing to a surface on which they seem to be floating, as if t... [more]

Vernita Nemec AKA N’Cognita's cast paper installation of collaged assemblages and 3-D paperworks made of junkmail security envelopes translates places amd moments into a visual autobiography reflecting our 21st century lives by transforming materials that would otherwise enter landfills.
