The following is an excerpt from an ongoing conversation with artist and writer Greg Lindquist, who moderated a panel discussion, Art Fair as Site, at this year’s UNTITLED. Art Fair during Art Basel Miami Beach. Greg invited me to speak as part of the panel because UNTITLED commissioned me to create a site-specific project. PhotoGrid: […]

The opening paragraph in the 1996 Nature magazine article “Circling the Inverse Square” (from which this exhibition takes it’s name) begins, “The one bit of physics that almost everyone knows is…” and continues with a fact that I did not (do not) know. Explain to me the premise that there are as many odd numbers […]

I was once in a car crash. While foolishly attempting to cross two lanes of traffic to catch my exit, the rear end of my little two-seater got clipped by a truck, which sent me spinning nearly 360 degrees. Remarkably, my car suffered only a minor dent, but I was left with a sense of […]

I’ve not been to a wax museum but I can imagine the Frankenstein on display might look something like Corpus Americus, the new group exhibition at Driscoll Babcock. Then again, the better analogy might be in the source material itself, in Shelly’s nameless creature who to this day stalks the starless wilds of our imaginations. […]

One sunny day in May 2012, I was sent to deliver a Bernadette Corporation DVD to Electronic Arts Intermix in Chelsea. As a happily semi-employed-unpaid intern, I took the opportunity to pop in a few galleries on the way back from the errand to make my trip worthwhile. With thirty minutes to spare, I poked […]

Maxxx Von Wilmann never created a separation between his musical experience and the creation of his visual art, one naturally lead into the other.

The Bloomberg New Contemporaries at the ICA, London, is the oldest of the graduate survey exhibitions having been originally founded in 1949, and is considered an authoritative view of emerging talent, with a wealth of established artists having participated; from Hockney to Kapoor. The ICA is showcasing 46 artists in the exhibition for the fourth […]

A strawberry candy-wrapper, recreated extra-large in the bold, commercial colors of the original throw-away, hangs just inside the entry; it is a cheerful welcome to this exhibition, and the shift in scale startles me—the painting is about the size of my head, and this makes me think of the urgency of a child’s valentine offering: […]

Iranian born London based Shirazeh Houshiary’s sixth solo exhibition The eye fell in love with the ear at the Lehman Maupin Gallery, New York, is very aptly titled. Infused by her deep metaphysical concerns, her ethereal abstractions speak volumes to anyone who listens. The largest most breathtaking work Echo, 2013, evokes an expansive body of […]
