A quick tour around the Internet will procure a number of reviews on the recent opening of the 2010 Whitney Biennial. One of my favorite critics, Jerry Saltz, writes for the New York Times Magazine and does a fabulous and readable job of synthesizing the experience. He begins his review saying, “After two biennials devoted [...]

I believe in the need for a revolution. A revolution of thought, of speech, of politics, of positivity, and of action. A revolution of getting out of the house and talking to people face-to-face again, of eating better, of caring how animals are treated and how people are treated. Of ending the class war, race [...]

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about Caleb Larsen’s “A Tool to Deceive and Slaughter” since I first learned of it via C-Monster. Initially, I dismissed the piece as the poster child for all that’s wrong with modern art. It’s just another black box in a white room, right? Wrong. So, so wrong. This [...]

When the curator for NOMA Gallery shared the work of Karl Haendel with me, I was convinced they were photographs. Haendel culled the imagery for these intensely realistic, painstakingly rendered graphite drawings from personal and cultural sources. The images are from his summer 2009 show with Harris Lieberman in New York City. Touching on American [...]
