Seeing art galleries should be part of any leisurely travel experience, and not knowing what you’ll see when you walk in is part of the fun. That said, it’s nice to know the overall style and vision of a gallery before you visit, especially if you have limited time.

Seattle Art Fair offers a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with some left coast galleries, big and small. It will help you get inspired to see some new art ...

A group of people in strange costumes mill around a parking lot, and you don’t know what’s going on until a VW bug rolls in and the costumed people, including the man in white foam, begin to rub it down with their bodies. They’re a living car wash, working in slow motion. Footage of this performance, staged by artist Joe Ray, plays in a side gallery at Diane Rosenstein. Across the hall hang black and white photographs ...

“The blues are the only consistent art in the United States which constantly remind us of our limitations while encouraging us to see how far we can actually go.“ -Ralph Ellison

Please join us for an afternoon performance of sound, movement, and spoken word with Charlie Chan (harmonica, guitar, spoken word), Ben Finley (bass & FX), Cameron Washington (poems and spoken word), and Chris Ryan Williams ...

Diane Rosenstein Gallery will return as an exhibitor to the Seattle Art Fair, August 3-6, 2017. Artists exhibited include Gisela Colon, Charles Fine, Eben Goff, and Julian Stanczak. 

The large-scale paintings of New York Painter Shiri Mordechay are an enveloping feast for the senses, like physically entering a pop-up book pulsating in fevered optics.  Somewhere between reality and a garden of other earthly delights lies the psyche of this visionary, a vessel of mysticism, supernatural environs, memory and clairvoyance.  A certain level of bravery is required for weaving these teeming tapestries of the entranced, and the results can be staggering.  Delving into the depths of myth, trauma and ...

 An otherworldly exploration of color, form, light, and surface all vibrantly resonate in the latest exhibition at McClain Gallery. The dimensionality, the layering, and the quiet beauty combined by artist Gisela Colon all speak to her vast understanding of the balance of the masculine and the feminine through her impressive sculptural work. As one moves around the pieces, each tuned to a different vibration in colors and feel, one can see the ...

Until now, the contemporary art installations at the Barnes Foundation have been pretty much on the safe side. By contrast, however, this first large group exhibition, organized by the Barnes’s new director and president, Thom Collins, is literally a walk on the wild side, with surprises around every corner.

Entering the gallery, visitors are quickly indoctrinated. Movement through the exhibition, titled “Person of the Crowd: The Contemporary Art of Flânerie,” is largely determined by Jean Shin’s quasi-gestural ...

Julian Stanczak, the Op Art painter who, despite physical difficulties, managed to create canvases with vibrant geometries and hypnotic motion, died in his home in Seven Hills, Ohio on March 25. He was 88.

Stanczak was one of the leaders of the short-lived Op Art movement in the 1960s. He was included in the Museum of Modern Art’s 1965 exhibition “The Responsive Eye,” which also featured work by Bridget Riley, Gunter Uecker, and Victor Vasarely. Although today considered groundbreaking ...

The photographs in Stefan Heyne’s first solo exhibition in the U.S., Super Vision, on view at Diane Rosenstein through April 15, are like a cross between flattened, smoothed-out Rothko paintings and Ed Ruscha’s iconic, acrylic Hollywood (1968), with everything but the sky removed. In other words, Heyne’s color gradations are at once ascetic and ever so slightly Pop. They are also actually photographs of cloudless skies, though they seem more sunset-like than actual sunsets, the color ...

On Monday, February 27th at 7pm, Berlin-based artist Stefan Heyne will present a talk with artist Farrah Karapetian on “The New German Abstraction,” as well as lead a tour of his exhibition, SUPER VISION.  

SUPER VISION: The New German Abstraction is the first US solo exhibition of photographs by Stefan Heyne. German photography since the 1970s is influenced by the “New Objectivity” of the Dusseldorf School and its protagonists Andreas Gursky and Thomas Struth. Stefan Heyne’s “New German Abstraction ...

At first glance, Gisela Colon’s wall- and floor-based sculptures seem other-worldly, as if they were pods from another planet where allusive shimmering surfaces were the norm. Although the works share a kinship with the previous generation of California Light and Space artists, who like Colon, were interested in optical and perceptual phenomena, her objects have a lushness and sensuality that is absent in the work of her male counterparts. These non-specific-objects, a term Colon uses to describe her work ...

Palm Springs Art museum has announced the acquisition of Gisela Colon's sculpture, "Hyper Ellipsoid Glo-Pod (Black)," 2016 to their Permanent Collection, currently on view on the museum's third floor galleries. 

The Palm Springs Art Museum was founded in 1938, and is a regional art, natural science and performing arts institution for Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, California.

The Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM) has announced the accessioning of Gisela Colon's sculpture, "Ovoid Glo-Pod (Iridescent Lilac)," 2016 to their Permanent Collection.   Gisela Colon had three large sculptures included in their recent exhibition, "Past/Present/Future" (October  10 - 30, 2016).  The Grand Rapids Art Museum (Michigan) is the world's first LEED Gold certified art museum.  With a new building designed by Kulapat Yantrasat (wHY Archtecture), GRAM is led by Chief Curator, Ron Platt.

Among the more important lessons learned by the art world in 2016: An emerging artist’s career isn’t cemented in one night, with one breakout show, or with one collector’s token of approval. Artists who matter long-term have careers that build over time, show upon show, collection upon collection. In looking ahead to 2017, Artsy’s editors consulted a number of data sources, including UBS’s art news ...

When the 28-year-old St. Louis-born artist Aaron Fowler was finishing his MFA at Yale two years ago, about to set off into an uncertain career in the art world, he began a body of work that cast himself in the role of a pilgrim venturing into the American frontier. As befits a Yale grad, these paintings were intensively researched, dipping back into the work of such 19th-century artists as Charles Marion Russell and Frederic Remington for images of settlers and ...

A panel discussion moderated by Artillery Magazine staff writer, Ezrha Jean Black.  Three artists from "Life During Wartime" - Farrah Karapetian, Shiri Mordechay, and Sadie Barnette - will talk about their work in the show and the themes of the exhibition. 

The event is held at the gallery from 3pm - 5pm, Saturday Oct 29th.  It is open and free to the public, by reservation.  

Eleanor Antin receives a solo "single-sculpture" exhibition at the Henry Moore Insitute (Leeds, UK). "Carving: A Traditional Sculplture" goes on view September 28th as part of a continuing series of single-sculpture exhibitions highlighting examples of sculptural experimentation.

'CARVING: A Traditional Sculpture' is a landmark work in the history of conceptual art, a key reference on art and art history courses today. Eleanor Antin (b. 1935) began working as a visual artist in 1968, having established herself as a poet. Based ...

The Uses of Photography examines a network of artists who were active in San Diego between the late 1960s and early 1980s and whose experiments with photography opened the medium to a profusion of new strategies and subjects. Working within the framework of conceptual art, these artists introduced urgent social issues and themes of everyday life into that seemingly neutral territory, with photographic works that took on hybrid forms, from books and postcards to video and text-and-image installations. If photography ...

Brunswick Maine,

A rainbow-striped canvas; an exercise bike equipped with a horn, a basket and a sweatshirt; six photographs of a tree against the sky. You may think of portraits as paintings, photographs or sculptures that capture the physical likeness, especially the face, of a person, which is the dictionary definition. Yet at “This Is a Portrait If I Say So: Identity in American Art, 1912 to Today”—which includes those artworks by Ross Bleckner, Eleanor Antin and Alfred Stieglitz ...

On June 1 it was announced that Michael Goodson would resign his position as Director of Exhibitions at the Beeler Gallery at Columbus College of Art and Design and assume the role of Senior Curator of Exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts. While I expect Mr. Goodson will be greatly missed at CCAD, we can take heart knowing that his considerable talents will remain in Columbus. Similarly, his legacy at CCAD will remain in both the gallery renovations ...

Gallery artist Eben Goff has created a site-specific sculpture, "Desert Ice," for UFOLOGY (Curated by Kio Griffith) at Outpost Projects, Joshua Tree, CA.  The wax, pigment, wood and aluminum installation will gradually transform due to exposure to the desert heat and elements over the next four months.

Though devoid of human figures, Awad's "Gate Paintings" recall the very gendered and gentrified spaces of 19th-century works like Goya's Majas on a Balcony, 1800-10, or Manet's The Balcony, 1869. Familiar metal-gate patterns trace through haphazard fields of abstract color. Nominating these decorative elements as worthy sites of inquiry, the paintings play the game of figures/ground and characterize the surface of the canvas as a liminal screen. These might be the peripheries of any private property ...

The American sports journalist and author, Robert Lipsyte, argued in his 1975 book, SportsWorld, that competitive athletics hold a unique position in our culture. One in which a game can offer an alternative world that can be viewed as sacred, as well as provide refuge. Even after forty years, the debate regarding the role of competitive sports continues within our society. Regardless of one's opinion ...

Sarah Awad's paintings are sluices barely holding back a flood of Fauvist color. An emerald canopy bursts through an indigo grate. Dark leafy smears clash with splashes of fluorescent lime. Warring daubs of crimson and cornflower capture the full flame of a desert sunset. 

Awad's previous work played with odalisques and other motifs from classical painting. For the 12 medium-size paintings in "Gate Paintings," her fourth solo show, she has turned her gaze to ornament. In each painting ...

Aaron Fowler will participate in "Studio Squared" at The Studio Museum in Harlem on November 22nd.

Eleanor Antin's trailblazing art stretches back 50 years and more. Sensuous, witty and affecting, her best-known works include The Last Days of Pompeii and 100 Boots. 

Art 21 describes her films, photographs and performance art as highly theatrical: "Antin draws from the childhood play, an infatuation with stand-up and slapstick comedy, and the tragic humor that is part of her Jewish heritage. 'I always tend ...

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) has acquired Eleanor Antin’s 100 Boots, an original set of fifty-one vintage halftone postcards. An important work of Conceptual art, Antin's 100 Boots is a mailwork consisting of photographs of 100 black rubber boots in special, often dramatic or enigmatic situations.  This is the first work by Eleanor Antin to enter the museum's permanent collection.

Antin conceived of 100 Boots as a means of circumventing some of the spatial and temporal ...

"The New New" is an exhibition of painting, drawing, mixed-media, and ...

Two artists in The New New have been selected by The Studio Museum in Harlem for their upcoming exhibition, A Constellation, on November 12, 2015.

"A Constellation traces connections among twenty-six artists of African descent: eight who emerged in the mid- to late twentieth century, and who are represented in the exhibition by works from the Studio Museum's permanent collection, and eighteen younger artists whose works are being shown at the Studio Museum for the first time. The works ...

The New New is an exhibition of painting, drawing, mixed-media, and collage by six emerging artists from New York and Los Angeles:  Ray Anthony Barrett, Aaron Fowler, Genevieve Gaignard, Tschabalala Self, Michael Shultis, and Jason Stopa.  The works in this show are multi-dimensional, with some artists using heavy impasto, collage, or flirting with the intersection of painting and sculpture.  Connecting the varied practices in The New New is an explicit use of text – song lyrics, art theory, slogans, and commercial ...

Wrought iron gates of varying degrees of design complexity and artistic quality lace Southern California’s residential landscape so ubiquitously that their presence tends to go unnoticed by motorists and pedestrians alike. However, as this exhibition attests, they’ve been anything but overlooked or unconsidered by the Pasadena born and L.A.-based painter Sarah Awad. In the body of work that comprises “Gate Paintings,” the artist certainly soars beyond the blind spots of one’s hometown comfort zone and ...

Eben Goff: INCLUSIONS is on view at Diane Rosenstein through August 15.

"Inclusions is an experience in materiality (the juxtapositions between aluminum and wood are key) that also has a narrative arc, or a narrative about an arc. An alderwood Arc big enough to hide a person or two inside of it appears in the show, and also appears in a series of 24 photographs, posed in Montana copper mines..."

David Schafer at Diane Rosenstein

Talking sculptures are a staple of amusement parks, trade fairs, and museums of science, industry, and history, and are sometimes even found in churches. In art, however, they remain exceptional for the simple reason that sculpture’s effect has generally been understood to hinge on arrested potential; thus, a work’s force of expression is perhaps best measured against the pressure of its withholding. To furnish such a structure with a sound track could be ...

Drawn entirely from the Whitney Museum of American Art’s collection, America Is Hard to See takes the inauguration of the Museum’s new building as an opportunity to reexamine the history of art in the United States from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present. Comprising more than six hundred works, the exhibition elaborates the themes, ideas, beliefs, and passions that have galvanized American artists in their struggle to work within and against established conventions, often directly ...

"I Just Got Mad Seeing The Machines Ripping Up The Woods," Diane Rosenstein presents Genevieve Gaignard: A Golden State of Mind at The Cabin LA (May 9, 2015)

“I don’t like work—no man does—but I like what is in the work—the chance to find yourself. Your own reality—for yourself not for others—what no other man can ever know. They can only see the mere show, and never can tell what it really means.”

― Joseph ...

Drawing practices in Los Angeles varied tremendously during the 1960s and 1970s. Culled from LACMA’s collection and select local holdings, Drawing in L.A.: The 1960s and 70s features work by nearly 50 artists who approach drawing in numerous media and styles. Works range in technique from charcoal and ink to collage and xerography, and encompass realism, conceptual drawings and abstraction. The exhibition includes drawings by well known artists, and others who have long been neglected.

The exhibition provides ...

Los Angeles, the highly disputed new epicenter for America’s creative class, can’t seem to satiate its hunger for new spaces to exhibit contemporary art.

Somewhere, nestled between Hollywood and Hancock Park, patron and artist Danny First has built a small, single-space cabin in his backyard. This recently erected structure, formally known as The Cabin, is one Los Angeles’ most unexpected, offbeat exhibition spaces. When I learned of this new appointment-only gallery, currently exhibiting the work of Genevieve Gaignard ...

Clare Grill is a painter based in Queens. She has shown consistently, if not quietly, over the last few years. An exhibition of her work titled Touch’d Lustre at Zieher Smith & Horton gallery opened in late March with great attendance, but without the noisy hype and fanfare that commonly surround many young painters, particularly in exhibitions set on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. What you won’t find are any paintings made with “novel” materials or pseudo-intellectual gimmicks. You ...

A separate reality; a place of sepia, endlessly erudite, that is, despite itself, a thirst: of the eye, the hand in its search for texture, and the spirit that does not always long for separateness, but wholeness through affinities; all of this is Mona Kuhn’s Private. In one of her previous collections, Evidence, the game seemed to be about sun and light’s kinship with the flesh (raw, palpitating, human flesh), but Private finds the elements of Kuhn’s ...

Photographer Mona Kuhn finds herself returning time and again to the desert. Its peculiar, altered reality, in which forms shimmer and are obliterated in glare and haze, and in which one proceeds, seemingly in vain, toward an ever-receding and indistinct horizon, have long fascinated Kuhn.

“There’s a certain magic to that climate,” Kuhn says. “I find myself drawn there more and more. It’s a fascinating ecosystem. For all the seeming emptiness, it’s actually teeming with life if ...

Karin Apollonia Müller has photographed landscapes, mostly in Los Angeles and its peripheral environment since 1996. She uses photography to investigate the play between nature and cultivated spaces: how each tries to control the other.

THE SCHOENBERG SOUNDWAYS PROJECT

Curated by David Schafer

The presence of Viennese composer Arnold Schoenberg makes a return to the USC Campus, in March 2015, featured as a Visions and Voices Arts Initiative six day public event. Seventeen years after the Schoenberg Archives were moved from USC to Vienna, Austria, the dissemination of his work will be presented through multiple formats and venues on the USC campus. The first component of "The Schoenberg Soundways" will embody intermittent audio emissions ...

"300 x 437 x 240" goes beyond a documentary representation of nature, being easily subtitled as Zarzal, which translates into a wild (black berry) bush or thicket. It is a green mass that speaks of an anarchic and brutal landscape being brought to the comfortable landscape of the city —it is, in other words a certain representation of natural power— which becomes the evocation of natural disobedience and a non regulated gesture. The arms or branches of this bush grow ...

"At First You Don't Succeed" is a group show on display from February 4 – March 13, 2015, in the College of Creative Studies Gallery, UCSB. The show, curated by College of Creative Studies alumnus Robert Wechsler, presents projects from artists more than a decade into their professional careers. The show's title reflects the reality of a professional studio artist, where success is the result of dogged persistence.

Together, the works represent not only a deep commitment to artistic ...

"Borrowed Landscape" (curated by Nikko Mueller)

Joshua Aster, Kristin Calabrese, Victoria Fu, Eben Goff, Keaton Macon, Hillary Mushkin, Scott Polack, Eva Struble, and Devon Tsuno

"Borrowed Landscape" is a translation of the term Shakkei in Japanese. Sometimes referred to as ‘borrowed scenery’ but translating more accurately as “captured alive’, this principle of garden design involves incorporating the surrounding landscape through almost diorama like emulation and through carefully considered framing. Views of the surrounding landscape are carefully framed by elements within ...

LVL3 is proud to present "Transforming Accessory," a group exhibition featuring Ben Barretto, Clare Grill, and Spencer Stucky. Barretto’s work plays with transforming kitsch accessories and aesthetics in order to recontextualize their material meaning. Delving into women’s tradition and history, Grill is influenced by family relics and photographs, and uses these objects to inform her paintings. Stucky’s interests stem from media and the translation of language and imagery within the presented context. These three artists deal with ...

The discussion will focus on our current exhibition as well as the new monographic catalogue, "Roland Reiss: Painting and Sculpture" (2014, Grand Central Press/CSU Fullerton). 

The conversation is open to the public, by reservation.

About the Exhibition: "Roland Reiss: Floral Paintings and Miniatures" is a solo exhibition of recent paintings (2008-2014) and important early sculpture (1977-1992). Inspired ...

In art, this has been the year of the gap — one version of the art world, a glitzy, market-driven one where youthfulness is a selling point, seems more and more distant from other art worlds.

It seems distant from the real world, too. When Art Basel Miami, that annual fair for which billionaires descend on Florida, opened early this month, the nation was still being rocked by protests over grand jury decisions to let off white cops who killed unarmed ...

Roland Reiss has a long and influential history in the L.A. and Southern California art scene. Reiss’ early work owed a lot to Abstract Expressionism, but he brought new plastic materials popular during the 60s in L.A. into the work featured in this exhibit. However, the Conceptualist movement of the 70s opened up a new world to Reiss where content mattered. He began to explore human drama in narrative miniature tableaus filled with clues and encased in Plexiglas ...

You are invited to an Artist’s Talk: Ray Anthony Barrett in Conversation with Douglas Kearney.  Ray Anthony Barrett’s solo show of drawings, Word is Bond, presents twelve new ink on paper drawings.  His intricate tableaus depict anthropomorphically masked figures engaged in allegorical narratives.  In the satirical tradition of Lewis Carroll and the visual language of 19th Century political cartoons, Barrett's compositions include poetic texts that uses hip-hop vernacular to articulate an evolving mythology. Douglas Kearney is a ...

The legacy of Roland Reiss runs deep in Los Angeles. His fifty-plus-year career, the majority in LA, as both artist and educator have been influential to numerous artists over the past decades, and includes some 29 years as chair of the Claremont Graduate University’s widely respected art department. Yet although Reiss has been the subject of numerous retrospectives–including “Roland Reiss: A Seventeen Year Survey” at the Los Angeles Municipal Gallery of Art (1991); the more recent “Personal Politics ...

(CSU Fullerton, Begovich Gallery, Orange County) In this retrospective Roland Reiss emerges as a key figure in the history of contemporary art in Southern California. While the works in this exhibition are readily identified with mainstream styles and concepts- starting with Abstract Expressionism, Conceptualism and other isms- this is a narrative of an individual who freely explored the changing possibilities of making art without committing to any one. The question is whether we discern an aesthetic core or a rootless ...

You are invited to an Artist's Talk: Clare Grill in conversation with Adam Ross. Clare Grill's solo show, Mary Mary includes paintings as well as drawings she calls Samplers, and is currently on view at the gallery.

Matthew Rolston, the celebrated commercial photographer and director, is known for his glam shots of timeless icons such as Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Michael Jackson.

In his latest project, he’s asking viewers to look at the flip side of beauty, or, as he puts it, “the tragedy of human frailty.”

For nine nights last fall, he photographed inside the catacombs of a Cappucine monastery at the Santa Maria della Pace church in Palermo. There, he photographed the mummified bodies ...

Roland Reiss has a long and influential history in the L.A. and Southern California art scene. This retrospective will highlight a career of continual self-reinvention that has led to a ground-breaking body of work. Reiss’ early work owed a lot to Abstract Expressionism, but he brought new plastic materials popular during the 60s in L.A. into the work featured in this exhibit. However, the Conceptualist movement of the 70s opened up a new world to Reiss where content ...

These three images -- Placerita (2007), Worldlights II (2013), and Overview (1998) -- represent the artist’s ongoing investigation into the seemingly paradoxical intersection between the natural landscape and complex urbanization, where cultivated spaces and urban structures collide with nature.

In past few years there have been a number of survey exhibitions focused on Antin’s tremendous bodies of work. A few months ago, I happened upon a show at Diane Rosenstein Fine Art in Los Angeles, which presented a more intimate view of the artist's work. Entitled Passengers, the exhibition assembled a treasure trove of previously unseen drawings, photographs, and videos from Antin's oeuvre of multi-faceted projects. The many drawings, photographs and videos reveal a lifelong obsession ...

"Art is a form of consciousness." - Susan Sontag

Raphael Rubinstein insists that the major difference between an art critic and other critics -- like literary and film critics -- is the stimulating artist-critic dialogue in studio visits that underlies art writing. This summer, I made four visits to Roland Reiss' studio to discuss his new Floral Paintings --which will be on public view in his upcoming retrospective at Begovich Gallery, California State University, Fullerton in November and a large exhibition in Los ...

Anyone who suffers from automatonophobia should approach Matthew Rolston’s new exhibition, "Talking Heads," with caution. The photographer’s striking, monumentally scaled portraits of ventriloquist dummies do little to dispel the notion that these creepy-cool conduits possess some sort of human animus. In fact, Rolston’s loving images make a strong case that his subjects do indeed retain a measure of spirit and energy from the entertainers who once brought them to life.

The show, Rolston’s first solo exhibition ...

From 1972 through 1991, Eleanor Antin invented personas of different races, genders, and professions to destabilize any single identity. Her role-playing was then documented in photographs and videos, which are displayed here alongside various props, notably large-scale flattened paper dolls, the companions with whom Antin enacted her performances. The exhibition, guest-curated by Emily Liebert, begins with perhaps the most discomforting of these personas: Eleanora Antinova, an African American ballerina who Antin claims was once a dancer in Diaghilev’s celebrated ...

Pioneering conceptual and feminist artist Eleanor Antin once said, with obvious relish: “I used to think that I didn’t have a self that was mine...if I don’t have a self of my own, I can borrow other people’s.” While most might feel a lack of self as a void, for Antin it was a source of art. For more than half a century, Antin has been inventing and embodying a wide-ranging cast of alter egos, mash-ups ...

Wallach Art Gallery, Columbia University, was nominated for Best Monographic Museum Show in New York 2013 by the Association of International Art Critics USA. The category is part of the "Best Show" awards for excellence in the conception and realization of exhibitions by galleries, museums, and related cultural institutions.

Feminist pioneer Eleanor Antin has transformed herself into a kaleidoscopic array of guises over her decades-long career, from a deposed 17th-century king in California to an overlooked black ballerina in New York City. Many of these oddball characters are outsiders, as was Antin as an artist interested in narrative and performance during the high tide of 1970s Conceptual art.

Born in the Bronx in 1935, Antin went on to invent a multitude of selves through her virtuosic mimicry. Now these ...

Laxton and Karapetian will walk through the exhibition and identify key themes in Surrealist practice that run through the three generations of artworks in the show. In the dialogue published in the exhibition's catalogue, they explore the idea of the imagination a a relentless sort of pressure. This pressure results in a completion of expression that runs from one end of a ...

Karin Apollonia Müller, "Far Out"
"Us, From a Great Distance," by Hunter Drohojowska-Philp
KCRW, Art Talk, December 26, 2013
 
"... Far Out...is a robust, even passionate group of pictures. Made on the scale of large paintings, they are meant to go beyond the traditional constraints of photography. It seems to have become an accepted point that photographic truth is a lie. Increasingly, this outlook frees photographers to invent epic untruths. In this case, Apollonia Muller embraces the beauty ...

Jane Wilbraham (UK, b. 1967) studied at The Slade School of Art, London, UK (1990-92), The Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford University, UK (1987-90), and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, Netherlands (1993-95). Wilbraham's meticulous watercolors honor the tradition of Charles Burchfield and H.C. Westerman; her sculptural practice involves a contemplative process of meticulously carved sycamore; and like Lee Bontecou, she frequently employs pyrography. Her motifs arise from her relationship with the urban environment ...

Selected group exhibitions include Den Frie Udstillingsbygning (Copenhagen ...

Miss Müller uses photography to investigate the play between nature and cultivated spaces: how each tries to control the other. Her images are often made from distant vantage points and are filled with the humor and sadness of chance juxtaposition, as well as the failure of the built environment to comply with the human imperative to order. Müller's current work pulls focus on human life from an even greater distance than did previous series: she works now ...
