Jon Feinstein: There has been a lot of talk over the past few years about how the internet and the digital age are changing the nature of photography, how populist photo sites like Flickr and JPEG magazine, and online art/photo projects like Tinyvices, Humble, and now Fjord (as well as a million blogs!) are dramatically […]

Born in 1916 in Llandudno, Wales, and still an active artist, Sylvia Sleigh’s life and work deserve far more credit than what is usually afforded her: wife to critic Lawrence Alloway. Sleigh’s career reached its climax in the 70s when she decided to turn the male gaze in upon itself with some anti-traditional male odalisques. […]

Envisage individual moments seized by some anonymous invasion of a private physical boundary. See in a film each frame expand in narrative, through time, every one slipping elusively past like a painting lost to the flux of energies colliding over urban landscapes. Inspired by media-saturated environments, video, and other time-based media, artist Andrea Facco produces […]

There was a little Bigfoot who liked to play in mud pools after long days of rain. Mother Bigfoot always told him not to. Little Bigfoot never listened. One day, it rained a lot in the forest, but as the sun emerged from behind the clouds, little Bigfoot went outside to build a mud palace. […]

Nicholas Weist: Till, the narratives of your paintings are generally scenes of vague horror, dystopia, or pop culture gone brutally wrong. Do you feel you paint from life, or is it more of a forecast, a forewarning? Till Gerhard: I would say that I certainly do paint from life, as a lot of my source […]

The Dos Pestañeos exhibition Every Last Day is coming down after a month-long run. I wake up and leave Brooklyn with David for DC, hoping to get to the gallery by 7pm. After making very concrete arrangements, it is a bit disheartening to arrive after all that travel and find that there is no one […]

New York’s Chinatown and Bowery has become the last resort for artists, music-makers, and other night dwellers for affordable living in Manhattan. It’s a neighborhood that still preserves the spirit, beauty, and rawness of Downtown Manhattan that has been overrun by corporate symbols, new irrational laws, and a chain of new buildings that nowadays serve […]

In Spanish, the word “mondongo” means tripe, or the lining of a cow’s stomach. The word “Mundungus” is an ancient one, meaning “tobacco” or “garbage.” In other words, “mondongo” is a word that has a profound meaning in our lives, and our future. “Mondongo” is also a stew we love, and we are like three […]

In 1979, Sherrie Levine rephotographed a selection of 1930s images by Walker Evans from one of his catalogues. Her works, first shown in her exhibition After Walker Evans, was a florid action performed to invigorate a discourse about gender relations, in addition to investigating the lines drawn around both copyright law and institutional systems of […]

Justin Samson’s sculptures are eerily familiar—they remind me of the strange Native American sculptures I stumbled upon as a child, bewildered, in my aunt’s backyard. Detailed and colorful, his sculptures take the form of totems, or mysterious, boxy beings covered with tassels, strung with beads, and patterned with fur and textiles. The landscape that these […]
