Weaving Art From the Everyday
As it is difficult for me to try to describe even the next sculpture that I will do, so is it a big challenge to try to talk about what I will do for shows at the end of the year. Part of the reason is that my sculptures develop slowly. I am very intuitive […]
Digital Poetic Meltdown
My work explores the connections between technology and semantics, delving into the boundless flux among natural and programming language. The comprehension of this duet led me to develop methods and machines in the form of software-based installations, Internet art projects, video games, and other computer/digital media, addressing social, political, and philosophical issues.

The Search for Self
In the end my work is always about me. I feel that women go through many more obstacles than men to prove their point or get their voices heard. The women from cultures that have telenovelas (soap operas) are seen as perfect receptors—almost flower vases—for tons of tragedy. Being from Venezuela, this common form of […]

I relate myself to both the conceptual and the physical world, through series of examining and researching processes and intervening acts. Teng Chao-Ming […]
Visual Mind Games
Michael Linares’ recent exhibition Found & Lost at Museum of Contemporary Art Puerto Rico highlights the alternately political, prosaic, spiritual, and flamboyant methods by which life is experienced and observed. The exhibition employs Linares’ own fluency in multifarious forms of discourse—from sculpture, to photography and video. Suzie Walshe on Michael Lineares Michael Linares’ recent […]
Speaking With the Ravens
Tchera Niyego: Can you tell me a little more about your book? Ngak’chang Rinpoche: The book, yes. There are a lot of things going on at the moment because I’ve always been interested in presenting Vajrayana to artists. There’s always been an idea about Buddhism in the West, but the most natural crossover is with […]
Contextualizing Consumerism
Consumerism, in the world of Brian Ulrich, is a tornado of sorts. His photographs, exhibited at the Julie Saul Gallery, depict the space of consumerism after the consumer has consumed and departed. The backroom of a thrift store is full of discarded Nike sneakers, piled one upon the other, inelegant and dead. Heather Clarke […]
