Eric Doeringer: Contraband by Josh Rubin
New York art magazine and exhibition space Animal commissioned Eric Doeringer to make a piece for their most recent issue/show. He came up with Contraband, a series of sculptures made out of items whose possession, sale, use, and/or transportation across state or international borders is illegal. Each item is bottled, labeled and shrink-wrapped in red plastic. The series contains 24 items ranging from hallucinogenic mushroom spores to a counterfeit Louis Vuitton scarf.
The sculptures are on display at Animal, 437 East 9th Street, New York, NY.

Beautiful Decay Issue R: Richard Stipl
If you missed this year's Scope New York, Beautiful Decay worked with Scope to feature some participating artists showing at the 2007 fair in their issue "R." One that caught our eye there and that's also in the magazine is Richard Stipl, a Czechoslovakian-born painter and sculptor. Similar in to the plasticine realism of Ron Mueck's work, Stipl uses himself as a model to...

Ruth Marshall
The highlight from Scope was undeniably Ruth Marshall and her acumen for craft-work combined with a nutty sense of humor. When the Australian born artist isn't at her day job sculpting exhibits at the Bronx Zoo, she's still committed to her love and fascination for animals. Presented by Dam, Stuhltrager, these knitted animal pelts are a delightful comment on both the trophy and the...

Food Critic
Artist Nicolas Touron’s new exhibit at the Virgil de Voldère Gallery in New York City uses most unlikely objects to tell his startling fables of global affairs. Armed primarily with sugar and ceramics, he has set out to portray the world as he sees it, a sphere where the world’s daily machinations can be both overwhelming and terrifying, and things are rarely as sweet...

Tamara Kostianovsky: Actus Reus
"Actus Reus" is the debut solo exhibition of Tamara Kostianovsky, an Israeli artist raised in Argentina and currently living in Brooklyn. The show consists of life-sized animal carcasses painstakingly reconstructed using second-hand clothing, which are all former pieces from the artist's actual wardrobe. The patchwork constructions adopt a remarkably grotesque quality, hanging from meat hooks in an antiseptic gallery space. The exhibition's Latin title...

Joseph Conforti
Joseph Conforti is a master of repetition. A raku ceramicist based in New York City, he creates hypnotic wall sculptures comprised of individual panels, each of which contains hundreds of ceramic pieces. Raku, for those unversed in ceramic speak, is a traditional form of Japanese pottery dating back to the 16th Century. It involves low temperature kiln firing, followed by a combustible immersion that...
