Vox Populi’s December members’ show is a conceptual outing that—with the exception of Amy Adams’ sparse but evocative “Our Boat That Is Made of Flowers”—is totally [...]

Sarah McEneaney rocked the boat in her uniformly excellent exhibit at Locks Gallery (see Roberta’s Weekly Update), the first place I visited First Friday. And my next stop, the Collections show, curated by Luren Jenison, at Copy Gallery(see Brandon Joyce’s post here), was also a terrific surprise!!! I saw several other exhibits, somewhat uneven, but [...]
First Friday was full of goodies. We started at the Fab. Here’s some pictures and a short video and some gossip at the bottom so be sure to scroll down. Ed Ruscha at the Fabric Workshop last Friday night Ed Ruscha was looking like a little leprachaun in front of a packed audience at the [...]

Nick Paparone, The Wonder Wander, torchiere lamp, polystyrene, alumnium foil, paint, motor The cheerful boyishness that permeates Nick Paparone‘s work is always a little slippery. He is one of the trio of Vox Populi artists up for the month of May, plus a couple of guest artists, and he almost steals the show with one [...]
Nick Paparone, 400 Horsepower #1, airbrushed, laminated Cindy Crawford poster, poster hangers Andria Bibiloni’s self-portrait as banana-weilding muchacha My favorite coincidence this month is a pair of images by two very different artists with very different intents, both of them playing off the same kind of pop culture imagery.

The only non-video in the show, a sculpture installation, is by Brent Wahl, who also makes videos. Here’s who and what: Black [...]
