THE L MAGAZINE, October 30, 2009Antony Crossfield: Foreign Body "The fused, melted and hybrid bodies in Crossfield's uneasy photo-manipulations are very literally joined at the hips (or elsewhere), yet appear eerily isolated and lonely in their dilapidated and tragic surroundings." [more]

NEW YORK MAGAZINE, October 26, 2009 Profile — Opening Soon “Warped and oily and way-too-appealing photographs, considering the sadistic things that appear to be happening to this British artist's models. Most are playing naked Twister—not the fun version—while one little girl is literally stretching beyond her limits. Guillermo del Toro should visit this show." KLOMPCHING NOTE: A 'little girl' does not appear in the artist's artwork.... [more]

JOSHUA STERN at Parker's Box September 11th - October 25th
Posted 10/18/09

Joshua Stern’s solo show at Parker’s Box gallery titled “Straw Economy”, a mini-retrospective of work the artist produced in the last three decades, relies on text, signs and words in ways that recall the first two of the last three decades of contemporary art, giving it a slightly historical feel.  In “Straw Economy” a clear path can be seen from simple text statements, through to complex image and word associations, and then finally, into work that only uses linguistic s...

Michael Buckland at Sacco and Vanzetti Cultural Center October 2nd - November 8th
Posted 10/18/09

To begin with, Michael Buckland is an artist who clearly revels in word and image contradictions.  Much of the work in the Artist’s solo show at the Sacco and Vanzetti Cultural Center presents itself as signage that says exactly the opposite of what it demonstrates as an image.  One work, entitled “Thumbs up”, includes the words “down with everything” wrapped around both a lifesaver shaped sign, and a hand signaling “thumps up” in the center.  To add to the integral...

Posted 10/12/09

While the economy was in the midst of free-fall last year, the New York art world – from galleries to museums to artists – felt its stomach drop. Commercial galleries began closing, endowments started disappearing, and public funds for artists were shrinking. But as museum board members, collectors, and gallery owners hold their collective breaths, waiting to see where the bottom is, some artists have moved on – and perhaps even moved on a long time ago. Plan B, currently a... [more]

Posted 9/11/09

Four colorful landscapes by Indian painter URMIL JAIN  form a part of the onging  'MAZE OF MILIEU'  exhibition at Agora Gallery. Notable amongst her works is the painting "Woman with Matka",  a moodful village scene depicting a mystical confluence of the elements of nature with a wonderful backdrop of the moonlit sky.  Whether real or surreal, the deep grays, blues and greens and many Indian red tones in her paintings will strike the romantic cord inside the viewer. Be it the  "Environment" or... [more]

The show includes meaningful conceptual and visual artwork based upon real life labor and border issues concerning immigrants and their movement in North America.    Erika Harrsch's installatio...
