The Schaulager in Basel is already a very special institution and exhibition space. With the solo show “Francis Alÿs: Fabiola“, Schaulager has realized also an unusual project. Instead of presenting artist Francis Alÿs collection of images of Saint Fabiola in its own premises, Schaulager staged the exhibition in the Haus zum Kirschgarten, once Basel’s foremost [...]

Critic and teacher Kathryn Hixson is the one person I’ve had in my life who felt like a mentor in the deepest sense. She was wickedly funny, challenging, and yet warm. When she passed away this last fall, she left me feeling unmoored — I realized how very much I relied on her presence, her [...]

This new performance and exhibition space in Old City generated buzz well before it opened in July. Today, it’s the most exciting and experimental art venue in the city’s so-called arts district, a place where it’s now easier to get good coffee than it is to see art that’s pushing the envelope. The five Hampsire [...]

This show will address the lingering cultural fallout of the 1960s, in particular its effect on a generation of younger artists and their engagement with the period as it becomes more somberly remote. Fifteen years ago Newt Gingrich said the 1960s would come to be seen as a “temporary aberration” within the overall trajectory of U.S. history.

“George Condo: Mental States” at the New Museum is an exhibition, which the artist calls a “conceptual survey” of his work.

For some time now, Ben Russell has been tearing it up in the world of experimental cinema, but with his new solo exhibition, he is establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with in the gallery as well. Uh-Oh It’s Magic, showing currently at threewalls in Chicago’s West Loop, takes an ambiguous stance toward [...]

Post by Chip Schwartz Rubens Ghenov’s show at Artspace Liberti on 2424 York Street is a series of snapshots without a camera. Everything in the gallery space in the show “ie: Brazilein Chaekkorias, rotted one note” seems to move in frames. The intermingled, painted images are stationary, but their relationships are jumbled and obfuscated. Along [...]

With gorgeous color, ebullient natural imagery (birds, butterflies, flowers) and harmonious designs, Trudy Kraft’s “Emergence” at Gross McCleaf is pure visual happiness. Kraft’s third solo show at the gallery continues the artist’s exploration of the cosmic inter-connectedness of things. Influenced by cultural traditions in Japan, Africa, Thailand and India, Kraft’s easel-sized works on paper feature [...]

By Dennis D’Alesandro Douglas Witmer’s strong one-man show at AxD is comprised of two separate bodies of work. A suite of smaller works titled The School Papers shows off Witmer’s excellent color sense and supple surface textures. The other half of the show is called Fruitville, which showcases the artist’s never before exhibited wooden relief [...]

Banu Cennetoglu’s website has read “meşgul/busy” since the summer. And even after four months of emails, having never meet in person, Banu Cennetgolu is still a source of fascinating mystery to me. Sources report that she’s shy; a mutual acquaintance leaning over a freezer stuffed with a pre-biblical stalagmite raved about how lovely she is; [...]
