Outside In: Terence Koh’s Bee Chapel at Andrew Edlin Gallery. Collapsing boundaries of what lies inside vs. outside an exhibit seems to be on many artists' minds this summer. Terence Koh's current exhibition at the Andrew Edlin Gallery pushes this inside/outside blurring from the four walls of the white cube literally into outer space. June 24, 2016. One Man’s Trash: Martin Creed at the Park Avenue Armory. Is this Creed's hell? Is he encouraging his audience to abandon hope? June 9, 2016. June 4, 2016.

Carrie Schneider’s “Care House” — A Different Take on Home Staging (Exit Stage Left). You turn the key and enter. You feel uneasy, like you might be doing something wrong. You are grateful that the AC has been left on. You walk past the utility room into the breakfast nook and the kitchen spreads out before you. Maybe if you had a realtor with you…You keep the key and the invitation in your hand, just in case. Voyeurism by invitation. March 14, 2013. But does it float. I like this art. FECAL FACE DOT COM.

Tag Archives: Art Palace Gallery. New Day — Tony Day’s “Believe What You Want” at Art Palace. These paintings are an effort to deal in ideas of values and beliefs, the inherent conflict that arises when discussing and adopting values and beliefs…[and] the inherent competition in the variety of beliefs, with the differences in people’s beliefs being a large impediment to shared purpose and progress.

Unseen Sounds w/ special guests Empty Audience. My main gripe with Michael Abramowitz’s current show at Cardoza Fine Art is that it leaves me wanting more. Each painting could be a series, and I want to see Abramowitz exhaust the possibilities of his language of symbols, to tease out all the meanings. One thing you’ll notice is that his hand is decisive, his lines are solid and unwavering, and his palette is all over the place. A few might be too busy. The Future is silent till we get there.

Art Critic Dave Hickey Calls It Quits (Again) with Pirates and Farmers. I have a review of Dave Hickey’s latest book up at The Texas Observer. It was [George] Washington’s one simple desire to be seen relinquishing power. That he might be the first American to be seen stepping down from office. He was ultimately seen doing so, and the world is better for it. Dave Hickey, American Cool,. Emphasis in the original). March 6, 2014. A LOAF OF BREAD, A CONTAINER OF MILK & A SHOT OF POWER.
