Recent Reviews and Articles

Very excited to be getting in a few more words these days (a cumulative 1850 words). . . recent reviews include:

"The Spectacular of Vernacular" at The Walker Art Center in Art Lies, Issue no. 68
This show will be coming to the The Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston in July, will take a slightly different form there, and it should be interesting to see how it changes in this context with the very different (but equally strong) vernacular style and tradition of Texas.

. . .and an article in Newcity on the panel discussion, "How Chicago are you?" which was at the Graham Foundation in mid-May. The panel consisted of eleven artists, musicians, architects and designers from Chicago including, Alex Lehrnerer, Pamela Fraser, Jimenez Lai, Geoff Goldberg and Damon Locks. Good stuff.
"What's to Like about this place?" in Newcity, May 19 edition.


Also had the wonderful opportunity to write about Huma Bhabha's work in Newcity, just a short review, but really got me interested in her work and process. There is a great interview of Bhabha by Julie Mehrehtu in the catalog for Bhabha's exhibition at Peter Blum Gallery. My review of Huma Bhabha's show at Rhona Hoffman appeared in the April 11 edition of Newcity.

Winter/Spring Reviews. . .

After a brief reprieve from writing while making new work for the show "Pushing Paper" at Dominican University (Jan.26-Feb.26) and taking a week long trip to New York, I am back to writing. Here is a list of my new and upcoming articles:

"Philip Vanderhyden's Outside Group" at Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Newcity, February 2011.

The bulk of my writing time in the past month has been dedicated to my first 1000 word review in print in Art Lies. This show at the Walker is raucous and far-reaching with 40 artworks by 25 different artists:


"The Spectacular of Vernacular" at The Walker Art Center, Spring/Winter Print Edition.

In March look for my first review in the new online journal, Art in Print.
