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:

(Author's note: The following is an excerpt from a story published on my blog, Arteaser)
Finally, I made my way over to Frey Norris Gallery for the opening of Joshua Hagler's "72 Virgins to Die For":
Hagler's powerful paintings and installations explore notions of purity and violence across various settings:
His work suggests a darker truth to the pursuit of purity:
Hagler draws on religious, historical, social and gastronomic references:
The show is on display through February:

Stitches and Storytelling
by Branka Bencic
Olja Stipanovic at Gallery MC
January 8th, 2009 - January 16th, 2009
Posted

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]

This show was far too brief and though curated by chance it is filled with a wide variety of hot art - all ready and waiting for museum recognition. Three of the outstanding artists are pictured here.
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.

William T. Hillman and Lia Chavez at Affirmation Arts

I had the high expectations when I went to this opening. The press release intriguing as this exhibition brings together two interesting artists, one established and one emerging. I knew of Hillman's work, so it was Lia Chavez's work that caught my curiosity.
I got to speak with her at length to understand the collaboration more thoroughly. Her ability to describe the ethos of the work as bodies in motion, bodies under tension, physical and psychologically was absolutely spot on. I found the content... [more]
