Blinking hearts in a window bringing Amsterdam's red-light district to mind, and a modern day Warhol of a pooch fit to ride in Paris Hilton's luxury handbag clearly signaled that Amanda Dolan's "Heart Attack" exhibit opening at Ward-Nasse Gallery was open for...
Okay, we went to the Armory too, but are Galleries still relevant?
So last night was the last night of the Armory spectacle. To be clear we rather enjoyed the whole experience, the artists, the dealers, the meetings, the parties and the clever banter. Always the clever banter. Yet there was...
Why you should be in Berlin.
We’ve been hearing it for ages now, but is it really true? Your mighty self better pack itself off to Berlin and make the most of the vibe, creativity and the vast amount of space that can be had...
Drew Tal giving us Sublime, Bliss and the Ethereal.
If one were to observe Drew Tal’s photograph’s they would walk away with the feeling of a monastic like experience. Serene, humbling and a parlor of ethnic sensibilities Tal’s work on show at the Emmanuel Fremin Gallery booth at...
B-lining for the Quadruple kisses at the Armory’s launch party.
The Armory Show 2009 preview party held at MoMA proved to be a New York borough mixology of sorts. From Williamsburg hipsters adorned in regal mustaches, lumberjack plaid, and Lee cords, Chelsea Gallerists, Downtown cool kids, to the Upper East Siders in...
Hank Willis Thomas: Pitch Blackness
The issue of race is not black and white. And what isn’t grey is the fact that this fictitious idea of “race” has throughout history picked at the color spectrum in order to ‘extric-hate’. If one...
Katya Leonovich: The Night of Shooting Stars and Seeing Small.
The impulsive exploratory instinct constantly churning within us was turned on high at the L Gallery retrospective of Katya Leonovich’s work. The trick of the Christopher Columbus expedition of last Tuesday, however, was not to find the New World,...
Fixx makes it to Scope.
SCOPE, for the most part, has always been the minor league to the Armory Show’s majors. You go, you have a good time, and there’s usually a few good players, but there’s isn’t a lot of Derek Jeters. Not...

This past Tuesday afternoon I made my way to the Lower East Side to visit filmmaker Hilton Ruiz for a private screening and conversation about his as-of-yet unreleased documentary, Rogues, Rebels and Renegades: The Art of an Outlaw. Admittedly,...
Davide Balula: American Wall Nut
For Davide Balula, all that it takes to make a captivating art piece is… a utility closet? In a city where the intangible emptiness of a space is what comes with the highest price tag, city dwellers are forced...
Skye Nicolas: His own Murdered Beauty.
On the back of his wildly successful solo show we decided once again to take Skye Nicolas aside and ask him some more compelling questions. After you finish reading this compelling interview you'll agree with us that Skye Nicolas...
Katya Leonovich at L Gallery Studio.
In essence, Katya Leonovich is more of a philosopher than anything. To validate her visions and values, she has chosen to use the media of fabric and paint. But don’t be fooled, the fabric is not reserved for her...
Skye Nicolas- Mortelle Series Act I @ ION space.
“Just kill them!” ordered Marlon Richards of Skye Nicolas; and the “Mortelle Series: Act I” was born. How can beauty be captured without repeating the clichés of art history, the enticing curvaceous Venus of Urbinos, the delectably innocent Daphnes?...
Hard Times.
Last Thursday the Chelsea Art Museum Young Associates and guests put on their slickest suits and dreamiest dresses to attend the Winter Wickedness party. As most of us on planet Earth have been informed, either by the transcendent power...
