Phil Collins Work from his oeuvre. “In all the different strands of his practice Collins investigates the perils of representation and the emotional core of such seemingly transparent media as video and photography.

The artists, as my friend Andre St. James says, “Keep it on simmer.” I don’t know how much consideration went into titling Tropical Depression, the current group [...]

New York artist Jennifer Williams’ installation photographs splayed on the gallery walls are spectacular.
