“Re-imagining what it means to be armed. Re-imaging my humanity by veiling my hand, framing what I offer to the public and what I retain for myself as an intimate gift. Stepping into the conversation between Sheila and Carrie. Carrie’s colors are lyric with a lightness of the earth. Sheila’s structures have something of the […]

I fell in love with ancient Greece. I played hooky from school and got to the museum early so I’m the only one in the Greek rooms. Except for the guard, of course. The guard’s a killjoy.  But when he isn’t looking I can go up to a youth on a pedestal and stroke his […]

Seeing an abundance of photographic details of a single painting (about 40) combined with the heft of this book (over 300 pages) led me to expect a typical art history, a formal and iconographical analysis focused on a single masterpiece. I was wrong. This is not to say that The Fulbright Triptych (1974) is or […]

My body now is that of an aging woman. Its texture changes with time; the skin’s tightness loosens one inch at a time, its plumpness fading as a mirage that never was. My body is the body of a woman… For centuries, male painters have exalted the curves of the female body’s immaculate skin, gravity-balanced […]

The ACTION–ReACTION exhibition at .NO, a Lower East Side gallery dedicated to Norwegian artists, aims to explore power relations. .NO also creates a link to the 7/22 acts of terrorism in Norway–stating that some pieces can be seen as “contributions to a collective mourning process.” The ambiguity this linkage creates, of what is or is not […]

Occupy Museums to protest the anti-democratic policies of Lincoln Center and Bloomberg on the last performance of Satyagraha Thursday December 1, 2011 at 10:30PM. It is no doubt timely that Philip Glass’ opera ‘Satyagraha’–which depicts Gandhi’s early struggle against colonial oppression in South Africa–should be revived by the Metropolitan Opera in 2011, a year which […]

The scene immediately absorbs you. An explosion of colors spreads in space like a peacock’s fan. There are all kinds of greens, pinks, yellows, blues… No traces of white here, but for the two golf balls on John Walter’s Crazy Golf installation at the back of the room: this it all that remains from the White […]
