The Art That Keeps on Selling…Itself

Posted in Fine Art, Sculpture, tagged , , , , , , , , , , on February 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

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 [...]

Fractured Translucence: Site-Specific Installation by Kimberlee Koym-Murteira Opens August 21st

Posted in Events, Exhibitions, Favorites, Fine Art, Illustration, Sculpture, tagged , , , , , , on August 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

It’s rare that I see video installation work that interests me both conceptually and aesthetically. The work of Kimberlee Koym-Murteira is the exception to this rule.
