Graham Caldwell: Anatomies
(19 February 2007) - DC-based artist Graham Caldwell transforms glass into sculptures with claws, spikes and other unusual shapes, using the familiar material to conjure disembodied biomorphic shapes. His current solo show "Anatomies" looks at the structural elements of " ribs, teeth, anemones, forests, fungi, fingers, and bodies" to explore "the anatomy of the viewer, the anatomy of glass, and the anatomy of natural things." Anatomies 17 February-31...

OKOK Gallery: Free Parking
(16 February 2007) - Seattle's OKOK Gallery recently opened “Free Parking,” a collection of ink and graphite drawings by ten emerging artists. Often drawings incorporated into exhibitions are mere accents to the main attraction, however OKOK cleverly curates a group of works that explore the experiential and immediate nature of drawing. Mel Kadel's "Surrounded by Angels" (pictured, click for detail) is a humorous and playful use of the...

The Hoody Gallery
(13 February 2007) - Now that the hoody's been elevated to avant-couture, it follows that there's an exhibition devoted to the ubiquitous item of clothing. Featuring works by local Bay Area designers, such as Nicacelly (pictured), Uhu Clothing and Like Minded People, The Hoody Gallery is a group show of limited-edition hoodies that have been silkscreened, re-invented and otherwise tricked-out. The one-night event also features a line-up of...

180 Things I Hate About You
(13 February 2007) - I love this idea. Eighteen artists based in London were asked to design a dartboard with the thing they most hated on it for an exhibition curated by Garudio Studiage that starts at the Dazed & Confused Gallery this week. From left, Bono, moths and drivers on mobile phones were most hated by artists Miles Donovan, James Hollingworth and Annabelle Hartmann respectively. (Click images...

Op Art at Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt
(13 February 2007) - Any major survey of the most important works of Op Art promises to play up the definition of the genre as "art which deliberately demands too much of the eye." The very thought of the collected works of CH favorite artists such as Bridget Riley ("Blaze 4" pictured right) and Victor Vasareley, as well as the other 53 artists represented in the show simply...

Ruas de São Paulo
(12 February 2007) - When most people think of Brazilian graffiti, they think of Os Gemeos, who've become well-known throughout the world for their prolific and whimsical style, but São Paulo has streets filled with great work. Jonathan Levine in association with São Paulo gallery Choque Cultural gallery presents "Ruas de São Paulo: A Survey of Brazilian Street Art." The group show features the abstracted bird shapes of...

Paola Pivi at the Kunsthalle Basel
(31 January 2007) - Alaska-based Milanese born Paola Pivi is having her first solo exhibition, "It just keeps getting better", in Switzerland at the Kunsthalle Basel. Our favorite work from the exhibit is the interactive sculpture "E, 2001" (pictured), a cylindrical structure supporting thousands of steel needles that move in reaction to the presence of a human body. The structure is able to detect a visitor utilizing photocells....

Chris Jordan - Running the Numbers: An American Portrait
(26 January 2007) - Chris Jordan started 2007 with a new photographic series that lenses contemporary American Culture via the absurdity of some very American statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption), 61,000 Hummer logos (equal to number of Hummers sold in 2005), 2.3 million Americans in prison or a trillion dollars spent on the Iraq war. Jordan...

Waste & The Natural World
(22 January 2007) - After discovering Your Gallery, Charles Saatchi’s online platform for artists, we are interested to see how this rapidly growing resource is being tapped for exhibitions. Last week a group show called "Waste & The Natural World" opened in central London, featuring four international artists who all address environmental issues in their work and were hand-picked from the Your Gallery site.

Robert Wilson: VOOM Portraits
(08 January 2007) - Iconic artist and theater director Robert Wilson has created a series of video portraits of celebrities, ordinary people and animals called "VOOM Portraits." Known for his glacier-paced theatrical productions with Tom Waits and Lou Reed, Wilson's now bringing his aesthetic to a video format. The recent developments in HD technology have allowed Wilson to create something like a precise hybrid of still photography and...

Catharine Clark Gallery Photo Exhibit
(05 January 2007) - Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco started 2007 with a photo exhibit that opened yesterday, featuring the works of Aaron Plant (U.S), Ruud van Empel (The Netherlands), Ellen Kooi (The Netherlands), and Carlos and Jason Sanchez (Canada). All of the artists share an affinity for subverted imagery of childhood, though their approaches vary wildly. The exhibit makes for a somewhat eerie but fascinating compilation...

Ramon Vega: Bomb Scare
(02 January 2007) - Appropriated images become pop kaleidoscopic spectacles in Ramon Vega's work. By isolating figures from the barrage of pop culture, the RISD grad creates snowflake-like patterns—the repeated symmetry has the meditative feel of religious mandalas—referencing sports and fashion. The results, like "Inside Upside" (pictured, click for detail) retain their slickly commercial feel and are also surreal configurations of the body, not unlike the work of Jean-Paul...

Scope Miami 2006
(14 December 2006) - Now in its third year, Scope is one of the more established of the many art fairs held last week in Miami, but still feels like the alternative to the alternative—a looser, more kinetic little sister to both Nada and Basel counterparts. Having graduated from their old digs in the Thompson Hotel, Scope now has a tent of its own. But, walking through it...

ITP Winter Show 2006
(14 December 2006) - With winter in New York comes a fresh crop of the tech-based creativity coming out of NYU's ITP (Interactive Telecommunications Program). CH's looking forward to attending the ITP Winter Show 2006 to check out the wildly inventive projects like Kyung-Mi Kim's synaesthesia-based AV Brush, a device that interfaces with your body to help you relax by Sandra Villareal and Bio Manhattan, a group project...

Wooster on Spring
(14 December 2006) - If you've ever spent anytime in New York's NoLita neighborhood, you may have noticed a giant deserted-looking building on the corner of Elizabeth and Spring. The building stands out because it's covered in ever-changing street art—from good old fashioned graffiti to paper paste-ups and milk crate-based sculptures. For almost 20 years it has been a place for writers to make their mark, as the...

Juliet Rose: Atmosfear
(29 November 2006) - Juliet Rose, the London painter whose subject is the ephemera of everyday life, is one of nine artists showing their work in the upcoming show called "Atmosfear." Opening next Monday, 4 December 2006, at the Air Gallery in London, the works exhibited in the week-long show all share "a profoundly atmospheric aesthetic." For Juliet, that includes silver combs, keys and other trinkets that she...

4Wall Production Lines
(27 November 2006) - Londoner Sam Stubbings never really set out to give artists a helping hand, but he came away frustrated after seeing an exhibition by art collective Black Convoy last year, so he decided to set up 4Wall. Sam seems to work a bit like an art agent with online and real-world gallery spaces, allowing people who want to pay up to tap into the talent...

Tavares Strachan: Where We Are Is Always Miles Away
(14 November 2006) - Like historical land artists Robert Smithson and Gordon Matta-Clark before him, Tavares Strachan's "Where We Are Is Always Miles Away" uses the physical environment as a medium. Opening this Friday, 17 November 2006 at San Francisco's Luggage Store gallery, the show features a 56" x 56" piece of sidewalk from Crown Street in New Haven, Connecticut that was removed by a crew from the...

Reset Design Tattoo
(09 November 2006) - Needled today directs us to the Parisian site Reset Design's project that tasked designers with reinventing tattoos. The 40 different results range from more lyrical ideas, like a rendering of hair (pictured) to macabre comments on the body, such as crucifiction marks and dotted lines for cutting. The work will be exhibited at a show in Paris "dedicated to the manipulation of nature by...

Steve Powers: Street Art
(07 November 2006) - Do you really need a white cube to show art? Is a great painting sitting on a street corner still a great painting? Can someone make something new happen in an art world where everybody has seen everything already? Steve Powers, armed with enough gallery and museum credentials to stuff a resume (he's a graffiti writer, author of The Art Of Getting Over and...

Cal Lane and Elissa Levy: Purfle
(01 November 2006) - Rife with paradox, the finely-detailed metal sculptures by Cal Lane (Wheel Barrel, 2005 pictured) and Elissa Levy's military-themed felt pieces, mix delicate filigree with more substantial materials and topics. Their complimentary work is the subject of a show called "Purfle" that opens at Foley Gallery in NYC tomorrow, 2 November 2006 and runs through 6 January 2007. Lane will show a series of plasma-cut...

Leo Villareal: Origin
(30 October 2006) - 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. Origin...

Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works with Light
(25 October 2006) - With neon's flashy allure and an impish wit, Bruce Nauman's light-based works that mix tongue-in-cheek commentary and the eye candy of a commercial medium, are a large part of why he's often referred to as one of the greatest living artists. In a show called "Elusive Signs: Bruce Nauman Works with Light" currently up at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in North Miami...

Paul Chan: 3rd Light
(24 October 2006) - His disorienting light installation was the final scene of CH's Whitney Biennial 2006 video and now the New York-based artist Paul Chan's first German exhibition is opening this Friday, 27 October 2006. Part of an ongoing series called The 7 Lights, Paul will show 3rd Light (pictured right and here), which continues his use of shadow-like digital projections of falling common objects, like sunglasses,...
