Documentary filmmaker and avid art collector, Morgan Spurlock recently made his curatorial debut at Thinkspace Gallery featuring 13 artists who single handedly changed the contemporary art world and their respected protégé in an exhibit entitled ‘New Blood’. “The concept of the show is how the torch is passed from one artist to the next.” notes Spurlock. “One opens [...]
Despite Greenberg’s kown disdain for patriarchal constructs, ‘Commentary & Dissent’ is a tongue-in-cheek reference to Jill Greenberg’s patrillineal history. Her husband’s grandmother was the managing editor of ‘Commentary’ during its progressive days, and her father-in-law was a contributor to ‘Dissent’. The images in this exhibition aggressively reassert the power of the image to confront and [...]
There’s still a few more days to catch Peter Gronquist’s The Evolution Will Be Fabulous at Gallery 1988. Expanding upon his themes of consumerism and war, Gronquist blings out Wildebeest, Buffalo, Kudo (and other exotic creatures) with gilded machinery and designer logos.

On display at Michael Kohn Gallery is Ryan McGinness’ first solo exhibit with the gallery entitled Recent Paintings, which includes vital pieces from various bodies of work along with new paintings. The exhibit displays an array of the artist’s day-glo psychedelic and ”slick” works that layer contemporary iconography to underscore McGinness’ commentary on language, history, and symbolism. It’s hard not to argue that Ryan McGinness has taken [...]
Pushing the human figure to extremes is the basis of artist Van Arno’s intense aesthetic, and his latest exhibit at Jonathan LeVine Gallery tests the limits of contemporary art itself by emphasizing that more is always better. The Minstrel Cycle features a series of seven large multi-figure oil paintings of twisted (often nude) muscular bodies, presented via themes of African-American history, pop [...]
Chaos and ruin. Technological trends corrupting. Deformation, anatomical abnormalities, degradation and displacement. Whether related to the human body and spirit or the human environment, it is the ‘anti’ utopia. A few weeks ago, Copro Gallery and beinArt Surreal Collective presented Dystopia where each artist presented their own interpretation of human misery and despair. Whether figuratively [...]
