Carmen Argote is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist who works directly in response to particular locations. Last year, she created a site- specific installation at the MAK Center where she traced the interior and exterior footprint of the Schindler house using...
With an observer’s detachment in the face of dire predictions of humanity’s demise from the rapidly developing field of artificial intelligence (AI), in “The Earth is Flat,” James Georgopoulos lifts from a trove of pop culture imagery adapted from film and other...
Joseph Heidecker’s collection of embroidered photographs at Craig Krull Gallery is a celebration of textile fauvism. The altered vintage photographs elicit a dissonant response, with subjects’ faces veiled in thread in an almost painterly manner that is reminiscent of...
Perhaps it is a bit cliché to read Julie Beaufils’ French nationality into her work, but there is certainly something undeniably chic, irreverent and casually erotic about her work. Her new paintings and drawings at Overduin & Co. filter desire through cool...
In 2011, Peter Opheim abandoned abstraction and began sculpting small maquettes out of colored clay, which he’s continued to transform into monumental oil paintings that uncannily capture the sculptural quality of his small-scale models. Most of his initial pieces...
The New York and Berlin-based artist and e-flux mainstay Julieta Aranda has long been concerned with the workings of the social arena through its medium of human interaction, and its reciprocal relationships with both the production of the self as subject, and the...
In their recent collaborative exhibition, Martin Durazo and Kottie Paloma have created a dialogue that is both socially conscious and willfully playful. Durazo's raw canvas works incorporate an odd array of materials including acrylic paint, found macramé, spray...
Zine fanatics, toy enthusiasts, pop culture nuts, and all-around lowbrow lovers can rejoice in Vincent Price Art Muesum’s current show, “Silent Wonderment: Exploring the World of Giant Robot”. The exhibition is divided into sections for each main artist—including...
Elliott Hundley's fourth exhibition at Regen Projects once again takes its narrative cue from literature, specifically Antonin Artaud’s play, There Is No More Firmament, also the title of his show. These mostly large-scale works possess a dynamism of movement, shape...
For his exhibition, “Sunflower Seed” at Team (Bungalow), Portland born, New York based artist/programmer Tabor Robak has created custom built PCs with high definition display screens on which generative abstractions morph constantly. Robak's technical prowess creating...
Imagine being able to chart the interior of someone's brain—to witness ideas as they begin to take shape between ecstatically firing neurons. This is “intermedial” artist Marc Fichou's obsession as evidenced in his most recent exhibition “Outside-In.” Fichou succeeds...
A simple drop of clear liquid can act as a lens, magnifying what the naked eye cannot otherwise detect. Valerie Green reveals this lenticular phenomenon in “Left to My Own Devices,” her first exhibition with Moskowitz Bayse. In the gallery’s front room, seven...
Paco Pomet's newest paintings on view at Richard Heller Gallery are unusually wondrous and gorgeously rendered. Drawing from a surrealist impulse, these works celebrate the “stranger in a strange land,” with all its complex vicissitudes. More often than not the...
Rachelle Sawatsky’s new work in “Reincarnation Clash” (all works 2016) advances her work’s established threads of off-kilter humor paired with an experimental formal sensibility. The show consists of abstract wall-hanging ceramic works; figurative paintings on canvas;...
Artist Ai Weiwei takes himself down a notch before you can with the title of his Haines Gallery show, “Overrated.” The works are largely reiterations or extensions of previous work for which he is already world famous; works in which he subverts the authority of...
Technology is always suspect, even in its pleasurableness. We love to hate it, yet we rely on it arguably to the point of our own obliteration. Bruce Yonemoto and Grant Levy-Doolittle have quite literally woven together the fibers that decimate information in our...
Christopher Russell has made several series of works by scratching the outlines of objects or patterns into photographs of dreary nature scenes, empty domestic interiors, and even high-contrast images of lens flare. In his latest show, "Ersatz Infinities," Russell...
