Ruth Marshall
(09 December 2005) - The highlight from Scope was undeniably Ruth Marshall and her acumen for craft-work combined with a nutty sense of humor. When the Australian born artist isn't at her day job sculpting exhibits at the Bronx Zoo, she's still committed to her love and fascination for animals. Presented by Dam, Stuhltrager, these knitted animal pelts are a delightful comment on both the trophy and the...

Scope Art Fair
(05 December 2005) - Scope presented as impressive a show as we've come to expect from their fairs. I appreciate the economics of including smaller galleries and less expensive work (the kind I can actually afford to buy), though I prefer a tent or hall to the difficult to navigate, overcrowded rooms and hallways of a hotel. The 70+ galleries from around the world presented works by some...

Art Basel: Art Positions, Containers
(01 December 2005) - A short walk from the main happenings at the Miami Beach Convention Center is Art Positions. The show includes 20 young galleries featuring their artists in shipping containers converted into exhibition spaces. The work here is much more experimental and edgier than that at the main venue and the containers are a challenging venue that some galleries embraced and used well. After the jump...

Todd Hido
(28 October 2005) - Todd Hido is a SF Bay Area artist and photographer. He is a master with light and color, which helps illuminate the anonymity—of place, of location and of self—that is so central to his work. Who lives in these neighborhoods, in these houses? How did we, the voyeurs, arrive there? We are at once both intrigued and drawn away. The images are solemn, powerful...
