Emilie Halpern Work from her oeuvre. “Emilie Halpern’s new exhibition of sculpture and photography at Pepin Moore is both poetic and diffuse, tracing somewhat mystical connections between astronomy, geography and ancientEgyptian mythology. Halpern has a knack for quiet,elegant pieces that gesture toward larger existential questions, but in this case she seems to be stretching a [...]

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 [...]

Christian Marclay Work from The Clock “‘The Clock’ is constructed out of moments in cinema when time is expressed or when a character interacts with a clock, watch or just a particular time of day.

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 [...]

The five Hampsire [...]

The London gallery Haunch of Venison, currently housed in the back of the Royal Academy, would seem to be out of place. While its main location undergoes renovation, the contemporary art gallery is running its shows in the cavernous spaces of the eighteenth-century museum.
