Argentinian native Graciela Cassel’s latest work soars in Miami; her exhibition at the Women’s History Gallery at the Women’s Park gets off the ground with a series of works that dramatize in a powerful way Cassel’s interior dialogue on the intersections of space, place, time, memory, culture and history.   Graciela Cassel – Christine Kennedy […]

Like most effeminate boys, I was mocked constantly in school. For me, the torment began in the third grade when I started to hear, again and again, that I was a “girly-girl.” Every year after that it got worse, but, because I was ashamed, I waited until middle school before I asked an adult to […]

I've always believed in duality. You can't notice the dark without feeling the light, masculinity isn't interesting unless it's balanced by femininity, the good is boring unless you have the…well, you get the picture. Not only is this represented within my images, but by the very genre of work that I create. First, I am […]

LO: Please explain your works. Rene Lynch: My oil paintings and watercolors reflect my interest in the manipulations of desire and the desirability inherent in the age of adolescence, the moment of balance between innocence and experience. That powerful and vulnerable stage of life full of sexual and intellectual yearning, when a child begins to […]

Leah Oates: Please explain your work. Heidi Cody: I needle consumer culture by lifting and subverting design elements from product packaging and corporate logos.

Anna Jackson: Your work The Wedding Video enthralled me. I was absolutely enchanted by its wry take on romance and wedding bliss. The bride and groom disappear under a Harry Potter-esque invisible cloak and, for the entire duration of the wedding ceremony, are only recognized as blurry, invisible matter. I understood it as an obvious […]

Standing on the corner of Jackson and 46th Avenues in Long Island City looking to the west, you see the façade of P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center as it blends into the Manhattan skyline. It is a romantic view, hard not to admire and even harder to turn away from. But, if you happen to glance […]

From the lethal pyrotechnics that rocked Baghdad in the early days of the war to the steady diet of video in the wake of suicide bombings and IED attacks, media has brought the Iraq War into American living rooms. “Embedded” reporters, as though part of some macabre reality show, compete to stay alive and show […]

You couldn’t be blamed for responding to Fiona Jack’s work emotionally and then figuring out the meaning later. Like a song that you don’t know all the words to, but sing along anyway, Jack calls her viewers into a chorus before we are even sure what we are singing about. Her recent installation After The […]
