Gina Magid uses elements of drawing and a fairly dark palette to make paintings where both the paint application and subject matter feel lived in. Her brushwork is basic and straightforward and doesn’t go out of the way to hide earlier developments, and her foregrounded subject matter makes no effort to deny the obviousness of her entertainment of a pipe not being just a pipe. While all the painting...   [more]

Josh Podoll's most recent paintings are swirling and expanding atmospheres populated with a jumble of simple shapes and masses of various colors, densities and textures. Loosely formed, each floats as a mutable thing with irregular edges within the confines of the white canvas in much the way I imagine a mass of soup without a bowl would float in outer space—part animation, part science. Space ge...   [more]

The first medium-specific exhibition of its kind at MoCADA, this selecti...   [more]

Nestled somewhere between Early Netherlandish painting and the graffiti work of Keith Haring, Matt Marello’s new paintings and drawings are whimsical pseudo-iconography for a non-existent religion. Drawing inspiration from a hallucination he experienced at the age of 17, Marello explores the phenomenon of religion creation and myth-building, mining the intersection of writing, visual art, and ap...   [more]

Pierogi is pleased to present recent drawings by Hugo Crosthwaite. Included in this exhibition is a series of small notebook-size drawings in ink and wash, as well as wall drawings, that explore the artist’s process of visually consuming his surroundings like a predatory carnivore.

In this exhibition, six post-1970 works from the Museum’s collection respond to mid-twentieth-century modernism.

Artists represented include William Anastasi, Ross Bleckner, Dana Frankfort, Al...   [more]

In 1820, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, with the approval of Congress, commissioned William J. Stone to engrave a facsimile—an exact copy— of the decisive document.  When Stone’s copperp...   [more]
