Our Selves and Everyone Else
by Emily Nathan
Jacques Louis Vidal at Marc Jancou Contemporary
November 4th - December 19th
Posted
11/8/09
You Are What You Look At (And I Know What You’ve Been Watching), an exhibition of new work by recent Yale MFA graduate Jacques Louis Vidal, is immediately striking. The small gallery space at Marc Jancou Contemporary is crowded with color, frenetic with form; standing at the entrance, the viewer is met with what appears to be the insides of someone’s eccentric and highly personal psychological landscape. Each work reads simultaneously as objet d’art and as a culmination... [more]

Blue Chip Afternoons

Anselm Reyle at Gagosian Gallery- 24th St.
September 17th - October 24th
Posted
10/28/09
Entering Larry Gagosian’s 24th Street gallery in New York can be a daunting experience. The value of most of artwork on display often dwarfs the average person’s annual salary. It is one of the few, possibly even the only gallery I have ever been to that will not allow you to carry in a cup of coffee with you. The security guards hover suspiciously and are quick to instruct you to back away from the artwork. Though this is not unique to any one gallery, the employees sitting at reception rar... [more]

Iconoclast in Marble

Angela Freiberger at Frederico Sève Gallery/latincollector
September 10th - October 31st
Posted
10/4/09
Originally working in clay, printmaking, and set design in her native Brazil, Angela Freiberger presents works with the complementary convexities and concavities of the human anatomy nestling in sculpted marble, and vice versa. Freiberger's exhibition, Organs without Bodies, at Frederico Sève Gallery is complemented by photographs, video, and smaller sculptures of internal organs. The exhibition plays off of Zizek’s reversal of Deleuze’s Bodies without Organs (BwO), from Art... [more]

Fitting Somewhere in Between

Just a few blocks away, check out this playful, exuberant group show on view at Canada gallery. Entitled Spaced Out / On Time, the show's flyer is a Venn diagram (remember those?) where all the artists names fall in the space somewhere between "Spaced Out" and "On Time", somewhere between slapdash and punctilious, sloppy and precise. Though quite a broad categorization curatorially speaking, it's an apt title for this intergenerational showcase.Standouts of the show are Kat... [more]

BRIC Rotunda Gallery is a brainy, politically-minded art space in the heart of downtown Brooklyn. Commencing BRIC's 2009-2010 season, Status Report is a knowledgeably curated show about Mexican immigration and borders—the first show of its caliber in New York City. The show includes meaningful conceptual and visual artwork based upon real life labor and border issues concerning immigrants and their movement in North America.

Paint Pictionary
by Charlie Schultz
Wayne White at Mireille Mosler Ltd
May 28th - July 24th
Posted
6/7/09
Wayne White is a thrift store shopper. He buys up kitchy lithographs made in the sixties and seventies of 19th century Romantic paintings. In his studio the lithographs become White’s canvases, and through their idealized landscapes he adds three-dimensional phrases as if they were monolithic sculptures. It’s a wild west gone zany, as if a mad hatter teamed up with a sculptor to bring Toontown to the land of babbling brooks and wind swept fields of wheat.
White is from Tennessee and the... [more]

Schipper-Wrecked
by Trong Gia Nguyen
JONATHAN SCHIPPER at The Boiler (Pierogi)
May 15th - June 28th
Posted
5/17/09
At Pierogi's new Boiler space in Williamsburg, the dungeony cube is reminiscent of a makeshift, industrial garage one might see in a superhero's secret lair at the movies. The mad mechanic comes to life with Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition with the gallery, titled Irreversibility.
In the Boiler cave, we see two contraptions by the artist. First is The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle, a head-on collision of two cars in slow motion that takes place over the course of exhibition... [more]

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.”

Carole Feuerman's Balance
by Alison Levy
Posted
4/12/09
Jim Kempner Fine Art Gallery23rd Street and 10th Avenue
When I was leaving CGFA and waiting for the pedestrian crossing light I was mesmerized by Carole Feuerman's photorealistic sculpture of a woman sitting in the top window of the gallery. Titled Balance, she is wearing a white bathing suit and cap, meditating with her eyes closed and index fingers touching thumbs.
