Home lies at the exit of every train stop, in every traveler’s mind. They travel around for their ideals and their lives. But home is where their hearts lie. To make someone feel touched sometimes all it takes is a rose; to fall in love sometimes all you need is a detail. Sometimes you end […]

I am fascinated by the emotional and cultural dislocation that has been enabled and accelerated in our media-centric society. I believe what is mainstream today has largely become relevant simply as a result of exposure and distribution, while content itself has been pushed to the margins, and is often generic. My work is often a […]

Cinema Remixed and Reloaded: Black Women Artists and the Moving Image Since 1970 at Spelman College Museum of Fine Art feels like walking into a labyrinthine David Lynch film. Like Inland Empire or Lost Highway, womblike rooms and shadowed hallways open like Chinese boxes to reveal hidden secrets. Spelman’s imaginative installation employs darkness, deep blue […]

Each of us sees things in our own unique way. We live in the same world, and are exposed to many of the same things. It’s how we see these things and how we respond to them; that’s what sets us apart. Damaged is a series of discarded, lost, unwanted dolls that have found their […]

The Ohio State University (OSU) Urban Arts Space is an opportunity for the university and the community to challenge ways of thinking about the performing and visual arts and their role in everyday life through conversation and making. Located in the heart of downtown Columbus, the space bridges the university and the community. It is […]

Essentially abstract, yet evocative of webs, systems, and networks, my work bridges the organic and the technological. In the canvas works, intensive, hand-drawn, black-line drawings, and washes of earth-toned colors hover somewhere between the biological and the architectural. Expanding the idea of drawing into the third dimension, a dense, line-driven installation appears as though it […]

Creating large-scale, calligraphic-style graffiti paintings, on solid fields of mostly gray, tan, or off-white colors, Italian American artist Matthew Lauretti rarely presents an image of the complete human body. In his work, viewers often find only the face staring back  at them—in some cases, simply a pair of eyes. The bodies inhabiting Lauretti’s more recent […]

P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center presents NeoHooDoo: Art for a Forgotten Faith, an exhibition co-organized by the Menil Collection that brings together a multigenerational group of North, South, and Central American artists who address the value of ritual in the artistic process and the wider implications of spirituality in contemporary art. Including some 50 works of […]

I moved to Columbus and opened the gallery in 1993. Although I was born here, I grew up in Northern California and studied art history in Paris. My first job was at Sotheby’s in New York, where I was introduced to the global art market. After a few years in Berlin, I decided to launch […]

Columbus artist Mac Worthington prides himself on customization. Such a mission has resulted in a mass collection of metal sculpted furniture he calls “functional art.” His collection includes coffee tables, dining room sets, desks, food prep tables, end tables, mirrors, clocks, and bars. Shopping Worthington’s “galerie” in Columbus’ Short North Arts District feels similar to […]
