Anna Kustera Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition of new work by Gregory Green.  Along with his now iconic "explosive" works, the exhibition will showcase an installation of the artist's worktable that simulates the lair of a mad bomber, complete with glue, drills, duct tape and other innocent looking objects capable of mayhem in the wrong hands.  This cluttered, clandestine place wh...   [more]

BravinLee programs is pleased to present Miners, new paintings by Philip Akkerman. BravinLee programs has exhibited Philip Akkerman since 1993.

Painting variations of the same subject repeatedly for his entire career, Mr. Akkerman searches for something different each time, exploring all possibilities that paint, th...   [more]

BravinLee programs is very pleased to present a new work on paper by Guy Richards Smit. Mr. Smit mines his brooding absurdism as a performance artist, front man, artist and filmmaker. In his many guises, Mr. Smit is a provocateur with the heart of Jean Seberg and the soul of Pat Cooper. Over a decade ago, merely playing one of his Grossmalerman videos had the effect of ending a dinner party at John...   [more]

BravinLee programs is very pleased to present Dianna Frid's one-of-a-kind books "The Waves" and "The Comets" (both 2011).

Thematically, "The Waves" is an exploration of Virginia Woolf's declaration that in her eponymous bo...   [more]

Artist's Statement Slyboot's Promise These pieces are all skin and bones and, at least at the beginning, a lot of hot air. The materials are flexible and liquid: cloth soaked in sugar water. Thin, light and of little substance, these sculptures are a gang of sly boots.  Although some of them are really big guys, they are all in the end just surface and illusion. That said, they are stiff, not...   [more]

Today there no longer exists any distance between the natural world and the artificial world, because the latter has become a second nature….When I bring nature up against technology, I do not seek to reconcile myself with nature, but to reconcile myself with technology, by transferring into it this great plankton of mixed materials in which we live.” - Andrea Branzi, Branzi, ed. Burkhardt and Moro...   [more]

I wanted to do something with a piano in a landscape of some significance and I suppose, as a Scotsman, there's nothing more significant than the border. I thought it was beautiful to look from one country into another and I liked the idea that Hadrian's Wall is, under a certain interpretation, a great end of civilization... I was overwhelmed to be in a landscape of such beauty, and with such a huge...   [more]

Materials are often the driving force and inspiration behind the works of art that I create. I have always been drawn to the functional wear and patina of vintage and found objects. Recently, vintage measuring tapes and their cases have captured my attention and I enjoy the challenge of repurposing these old objects for a journey in which they were never intended for. I create a new environment fo...   [more]
