There are a number of people making work right now that aptly dig holes into what a sculpture or installation can be, purposefully pointing fingers at the ways we encounter art in the round. I am thinking specifically about a show by Daniel Turner that is coming to an end at Team Gallery, an experience […]

There was no place better than Industry City for a screening of a film so central to Brooklyn. Set up in between looming warehouses, the atmosphere of the opening night for Rooftop Films’ 2014 Summer Series was relaxed as people mingled and found seats. Indie and Brooklyn-based band Rumors performed a long thirty-minute set preceding the […]

Our times are the times of materialistic values, of greed, of self-indulgence. Herod is dancing in Chambliss Giobbi’s Tanz für mich, Salome!, inspired by Richard Strauss’ very modern opera based on the Oscar Wilde play Salome. Giobbi loved the music but has turned the story around and made Herod the one dancing. This collage is […]

Recently I had the pleasure of seeing “Chicago in L.A.: Judy Chicago’s Early Work, 1964-74,” at the Brooklyn Museum. Chicago, who is arguably one of the most influential feminist artists of this time, gained international notoriety for her installation The Dinner Party, which is permanently housed at the Brooklyn Museum.

The result is often confounding in the best possible […]

With classics and fan favorites like Stand By Me (1986), The Princess Bride (1987), and Misery (1990), it is no wonder director and […]

My roommate and I felt slightly out of place as the Bryant Park Hotel doorman directed us to an elevator that was violently painted red. We pressed a button that would take us to a mysterious lower level. We got off and it was quiet. But, around the corner was a smiling employee, inviting us […]

A full crowd had gathered, elbow to elbow, skirting around the many playful Michael Mahalchick works spread throughout the space. It was one of the first pleasant nights of the year and almost everyone was wearing a smile as they sipped white wine from the gallery bar. This carefree, easy-going attitude would soon come in […]

Richard Hamilton is a truly influential figure in the history of British art and is considered to be the founder of the Pop Art movement. This retrospective is a collaboration between Tate Modern and the ICA, and covers the eclectic career of a very important British artist who wanted to get “all of living” into […]
