Not at all what I was expecting, this show did not include a film but an installation-like experience with a couple of sculptures and a number of black and white watercolor works that left me breathless. With subjects of settings (both interior and exterior spaces) devoid of people, there is a haunting quality to the [...]
Last year the Park Avenue Armory had a wonderful installation by Ernesto Neto. This year, the artist Christian Bolatnski has taken over the space with an installation called “No Man’s Land.” With the constant din of heartbeats, low lit biscuit tins, and the piles of clothes lit by neon lights, the viewer steps into an [...]
The Tuyman’s show on the top floor of San Francisco’s Museum of Modern Art is a good one if you have never seen a Tuyman’s show before. Fortunately, I had seen one previously at the Tate Modern which was excellent and so I was a bit underwhelmed by this one. The exhibition is broken into [...]

“Fallen Blossoms” showcases works that explore the passage of time and the theme of memory. This is the first time that this group of works has been exhibited in the United States. Light Passage includes four gunpowder paintings which include objects symbolizing each of the four seasons. It is amazing to me that using gunpowder he [...]
About a week before the opening of Abramovic’s retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, I went to hear her speak about her work. I am glad I gave myself that gift; it gave me a background that definitely helped me appreciate her work and the exhibition currently on at MoMA more. Abramovic, a 64 [...]
Curated by Jeff Koons, the controversial exhibition “Skin Fruit,” on view until June 6th, 2010 at the New Museum, is the first exhibition in the US of Athens-based Dakis Joannou Collection made up of 1,500 works by 400 artists. Pulling from one of the best collections of contemporary art in the world might be intimidating [...]

Nicole Stone’s tripartite work has repetition of text on the [...]
