Artists, Art and Culture of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea
(23 July 2007) - It's not often that the flag of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (D.P.R.K.) flies over London's Pall Mall, a few hundred yards from Trafalgar Square, but it was this week during a rare exhibit of North Korean artwork from the isolated nation's "people's artists," a select group that numbers less than a dozen. One attendee of the opening, which featured North Korean diplomats and...

Ryan Heshka
(20 July 2007) - Almost two years ago, while roaming through downtown Vancouver, I came across a postcard for an exhibition by local artist Ryan Heshka. The painting on the postcard was of a beetle riding on the back of a bright yellow baby chicken—and I loved it! Sadly, the show was already over, but I took the postcard home and contacted Ryan through his website. It turned out...

Michael Wolf: 100 x 100
(15 June 2007) - Shek Kip Mei Estate, Hong Kong's oldest public housing estate, is composed of 100 rooms, each closet-like in size at only 100 square feet and built in response to a devastating fire in the 1950s that left thousands homeless.

Ben Weiner: GlamTrance
(14 June 2007) - NYC artist Ben Weiner's oil paintings are remarkable for their hyper-realism, bringing out the extraordinary in everyday objects. His latest solo show has made its maiden voyage to the West Coast where it's being exhibited now through 7 July 2007 at the Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica in Los Angeles. Titled "GlamTrance," each piece looks abstract on first take, but the paintings are...

Martin Klimas: Temporary Sculpture
(06 June 2007) - Martin Klimas may carefully control his studio environment, but his pictures are greatly left to chance. With a strobe light and one sheet of film, Klimas captures each individual experience of a porcelain figurine being dropped and obliterated. As the statuettes in his pictures fall to their fragile demise, Klimas is able to capture a new structure that only exists for an instant. His...

Sarah Anne Johnson at Stephen Bulger Gallery
(29 May 2007) - Sarah Anne Johnson’s second extended project, The Galapagos Project, is based on ecological volunteer tourism in the Galapagos Islands. Like her first highly acclaimed project Tree Planting, she continues to explore the themes of idealism and nature.

Carlos Dias: Exposição Veraneyo
(17 May 2007) - In "Exposição Veraneyo," São Paulo artist Carlos Dias tackles the chaos and spirit of street art, taming it long enough to capture it on and with whatever—toys, canvas, picture frames—he has at hand. His second solo show at underground art space Choque Cultural is packed with work, a presentation appropriate because it reflects his special treatment of art. This stuff takes time to absorb...

John Arsenault: Filthy Gorgeous
(14 May 2007) - For a photographer whose work is full of the best kind of contradictions—fiction and fact, banality and exoticism, sexuality and domesticity—the title "Filthy Gorgeous" is apt for John Arsenault's upcoming solo show. A series of self portraits, the work is unabashedly self-focused showing a range of emotions, scenarios and levels of undress. A playful kind of humor runs throughout, almost as if Arsenault's sharing...

Urs Fischer at Cockatoo Island
(08 May 2007) - Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour has a fascinating—if checkered—history. A former convict prison, a shipyard and a reformatory for wayward girls, the island also has a fascinating present as the site of a new installation by Swiss artist Urs Fischer. Fischer visited Sydney under the auspices of Kaldor Art Projects, whose previous projects have included Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Wrapped Coast–One Million Square Feet (1969)...

Richard Caldicott
(02 May 2007) - In his earlier work, Richard Caldicott used Tupperware containers as the subject for his photographs, elevating these common household objects to objects of beauty. Piling vibrantly colored plastic cups and bowls, he created abstract formations that were like eye-popping op-art paintings. His concern was the metamorphosis of the everyday, which for him has something almost alchemical about it. This went one step further in...
