Atelier Van Lieshout: Furniture
(16 October 2007) - The London creative scene is keeping us on our toes. No sooner than we recovered from the excitements of the 2007 London Design Festival, it was time to get revved up for the London art fairs. We experienced Pulse London and the enormity of Frieze (more to come on that), but we started out at Design Art London, the organizers of which had clearly...

Jackie Nickerson: Faith
(09 October 2007) - Taking on the hidden world of Irish Catholicism, photographer Jackie Nickerson's latest body of work, called "Faith," visits the hallways, libraries, kitchens and dining rooms of Catholic institutions. Shot over two-and-a-half years, her resulting portraits of priests and nuns, architectural details and still-lifes (such as an image of the waste from communion wafers) are touched with intimacy and absurdity. The series offers a rare...

Jill Greenberg: Ursine
(08 October 2007) - The latest subject to get photographer Jill Greenberg's black-belt photoshop treatment are members of the Ursidae family. Known for her images of crying babies and more recently for her portraits of monkeys, the bear series continues to explore themes of humanity, emotion and duality seen in her previous work. Like with her other subjects, the bears express a range of often contradictory feelings, running...

Julie Heffernan
(05 October 2007) - New York City-based painter Julie Heffernan's oils look like they were painted by 17th-century Flemish masters in Antwerp. But no, this Peoria, Illinois-born woman is a contemporary artist that can make the rest of us born in the 20th century proud. Her large-scale compositions use the classical style to touch on psychology, gender, motherhood and class. (Click image for detail.) Raised in Northern California,...

Leigh Davis: Ensemble
(04 October 2007) - Photographer Leigh Davis, dividing her time between New York and Montréal, editorial work (for publications such as The New York Times Magazine, Tokion and Res) and clients such as American Eagle Outfitters, Bruce Mau Design, and Carnegie Mellon University, is a very busy woman. Lucky for us she's managed to find time to finish up one of her current projects titled "Ensemble." It's a...

Laura Letinsky: To Say It Isn't So
(03 October 2007) - There will always be a big place in my heart for beautiful pictures of ugly things, and Laura Letinsky's discarded Styrofoam cups, paper napkins, plastic cutlery, crushed cans, and paper bags couldn't be prettier. Carefully composed with soft colors and wonderful lighting, Letinsky creates the timeless beauty of the classical still life with the chaotic banality of contemporary consumer culture. "17th-century Northern European painting...

Mike Nelson: A Psychic Vacuum
(20 September 2007) - At a time when modern high-rise condos are transforming much of NYC's landscape, it's more and more important to preserve what makes the city unique. U.K. artist Mike Nelson embraces this sentiment with his first major installation in the U.S., “A Psychic Vacuum,” presented in conjunction with Creative Time. Imagine a derelict building located in Manhattan's Lower East Side—former home to the bustling Essex...

Ettore Sottsass: New Works 2005-2007
(17 September 2007) - There's perhaps no other living designer who embodied the bold, playful look of the '80s more than Ettore Sottsass. Like the revivalism in fashion, graphic design and music seen in recent years, the groundbreaking Austrian-born designer's furniture and architecture has lately been experiencing a renaissance of its own with recent shows in Los Angeles and London. The next opportunity to see his work is...

Andrea Zittel: Smockshop
(04 September 2007) - Years ago as an assistant at Pat Hearn Gallery, artist Andrea Zittel didn’t have the cash to dress like a gallerina. Instead, she started sewing her own uniforms and made a version for winter and one for summer. The originals are now incredibly collectible, but Zittel is staging a resurrection of the line with her latest project, "Smockshop." Zittel designed a simple double wrap-around...

Gordon Chandler
(27 August 2007) - Sculpting industrial cast-offs into iconic Kimono shapes, there's a great basic tension in Gordon Chandler's work that comes from the tactile differences between his materials and subjects. The contrasts are the natural outcome of his Duchampian use of found materials. "I have a very practical bent," he says, "I use things of very little value and elevate them. I study the objects that we...

Aaron Hobson: Cinemascapes
(24 August 2007) - Tweaking the mundane to create the bizarre, each of Aaron Hobson's images suggests a plot line for the imagination to fill in the blanks. He constructs his "cinemascapes" using multiple images, stitching them together to create a scene filled with small details that hint at a complex narrative. Raised in industrial Pittsburgh but now based in a small Adirondack Mountain town near the Canadian...
