Upon entering the Bryce Wolkowitz gallery in Chelsea, New York, one often feels an uncanny sensation of skating the rims of a futuristic otherworldiness: a cryptic hollowed-out future void of human meaning, oddly detached yet doomed in its aura of absence of human-motivated intentionality.

Marijana Bego, the ebullient director of the Ezair Gallery at the beach community of Southampton, could not have selected a more refreshing pairing for their August summer show than that of painters Dellamarie Parilli and Thomas Nuzum.

The basic human impulse to formulate information into a story has always figured […]

For more than a decade, I have been developing interactive art installations that seek to create connective, social and performative experiences. Contrary to most multimedia work, which is designed for individual participation, my pieces are normally conceived for group interaction, establishing new relationships between local or remote participants. My work involves the concept of “relational […]

I make art to express myself. All the creations I have made are based on my experiences, thoughts and memories. English isn’t my first language and moving to the United States when I was eleven was the toughest part of my life. I didn’t know the language and I also didn’t know anyone. Not being […]
