Judith Supine: Dirt Mansion by Tim Yu
Opened last Friday,12 April 2008, "Dirt Mansion" at English Kills Art Gallery in Brooklyn is Judith Supine's second show in the New York City area—unless of course you are counting his numerous pieces pasted up throughout the city.
Large installations consisting of his dramatic 20 foot high wooden puppet characters fill the maze-like warehouse space. Glossy psychedelic imagery and bright florals and figures set against a black backdrop mold a theatrical feel. Like most of his work, it's hard to explain so have a look at some more images after the jump.

Behind the Seen
Artists best known for their work in public often have an entirely private body of work that doesn't make it out into view. Recognizing this, Michael DeFeo (the Flower Guy) assembled Behind the Seen, an international group show featuring rarely seen artwork not typically associated with the artists. Including work from Blek le Rat, Shepard Fairey, Ron English, Richard Hambleton, Keith Haring, Maya Hayuk,...

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...

Mark Andreas: Reactive Sculpture Series
After exhibiting up and down the eastern seaboard, Brooklyn-based sculptor Mark Andreas has crossed the East River to make his Manhattan debut. Andreas' Reactive Sculpture Series includes the hulking 400-pound Seed Spreader (pictured), an intimidating machine equipped with three-foot spinning blades. It brilliantly expresses the fear associated with the industrialization of mass food production that, in the words of the artist, “conceptually speaks to...

Nomadaz
"Nomadaz - A Mediterranean Art Connection" features artists from Italy and Spain: 108, Microbo, Bo130, Dem (pictured at right), Eltono, Nano 4814, Sixe and Nuria Mora—for some it was their first time in sunny L.A. I really enjoyed the two collaborations in the show both by a man and a woman. One was by Nuria Mora and Eltono of Spain (pictured below), who made...
