Leo Villareal: Origin by Ami Kealoha

Leoorigins

Taking on Newtonian physics, Origin, New York-based light artist Leo Villareal's latest work, integrates the Laws of Motion into a computer code that controls an LED grid. Though randomized, the sequences created suggest biological patterns and, measuring nearly seven feet tall by 27 feet long, the large scale of the installation lends an experiential dimension and a god-like, macro point-of-view to the show.

Jonathan Schipper: Irreversibility
With his high-concept mechanics, artist Jonathan Schipper's latest exhibition, "Irreversibility," is just as stunningly clever as the animatronic sculpture we watched him build a few years ago. Held at Brooklyn's Pierogi Gallery, the show is both a spectacle and showcase of recent sculptures and installations by Schipper, including "The Slow Inevitable Death of American Muscle," (pictured above) in which a live, head-on collision takes...
Crash and Daze at Adhoc Art
by Tamara Warren Longtime studio mates Crash and Daze join forces for a collaborative show of new work opening this Friday, 15 May 2009, at AdHoc Art in Brooklyn through next month. The exhibition is a juxtaposition of two close knit painters that have forged stellar careers with corresponding trajectories. Both share roots in the New York City transit system subway graffiti movement of...
Scott Campbell: Make It Rain
Born and raised in a fishing camp along the banks of a muddy bayou in rural Louisiana, all the esteemed tattoo artist Scott Campbell wanted to do as a youngin' was "draw pictures all day long." That aspiration is today a reality, with the results on display not only on the bodies of some lucky individuals, but in his first major solo presentation opening...
