Lyn Balzer & Tony Perkins
Photographic collaborators Lyn Balzer & Tony Perkins have been working together for over 12 years in a relationship that is almost symbiotic. Our fascination with the Australian landscape stems from an upbringing on Australia’s east coast near the idyllic rainforests and beaches of Byron Bay—our photographs reflect a deep passion and commitment to the beauty […]

Historically, erotic art is bogus. Somehow, somewhere along the line, we collectively decided that we knew what it meant to be “erotic.” “Erotic” was that narrow territory between tasteful and lustful, romance and sin. Dirty, but in a good way. But, regardless of how an artist chose to establish their own definition of what it […]
Training Ground – Carrie Paterson
Liat Yossifor’s recent monochromatic portraits shift politics into process, clashing the tradition of modernist color-field painting with a conceptual concern about identity and invisibility, the body, its place in history and conflict, and the true depth of surface. The work features images of women performing aggressive, confrontational stances. Most of the models are Israeli with […]

I start my work by making monochrome photographs and then painting them. I begin with a fairy tale and add eroticism to it in order to create original erotic stories. Each story is composed of roughly five to ten images, which form a story. These tales inspired in me a form of erotic delusion. However, […]
Intro to Wordsand Again – Richard Kostelanetz
Perhaps my most extraordinary move as a beginning visual artist, around 1967, in my own middle-late 20s, was the decision to work primarily with words, only words. It was an innocent move, really, made less from intelligence than the lack of it; I never learned to draw likenesses or make collages or anything else that […]
Santaââ¬â¢s Ghetto #5: Between Pop and Squat – Lorenzo Giusti
The fifth edition of “Santa’s Ghetto,” the annual exhibition staged by the “Great Communicator,” Banksy, and his associated print house, Pictures of Walls, took place right in the middle of London’s West End, at 15 Oxford Street. There, in an old Clark’s shoe store, some of the most noted artists of the international underground scene […]
Body Building – Menachem Wecker
Art that envisions the human body in architectural terms is not a new phenomenon. Last year, Kestenbaum & Company auctioned a 1707 Hebrew, Latin and Turkish edition of Tobias Cohn’s medical encyclopedia, Ma’aseh Tuviah (“The Work of Tobias”), in which artist Antonio Luciani drew Cohn with bared innards. Cohn’s body is mapped out over a […]
