The Third Annual Japanese Young Artists’ Book Fair is not what it portends to be: There are no tents or stands, no crowds, no artist-audience Q & A. There aren’t even books, at least not in the regular sense of the word. But for quietly interested collectors curious about the newest wave of Japanese niche-art, [...]

Patrick Hill at David Kordansky in LA
February 15, 2009 – 8:00 am
On a rainy Saturday night, I made my way over to David Kordansky’s new space in Culver City, where I was able to spend time with the work of Patrick Hill — a personal favorite of mine.

My Mother, Not Myself
February 14, 2009 – 8:00 am
Photographer Vivian Joyner debuts a gingerly edited body of portraits of her mother in My Mother, Not Myself: Portraits of Amy Joyner, at Cal Arts L Shaped Gallery in Los Angeles.

Gorgeous people, snifters of Patron. Since Forever is Gone is certainly the kind of show the Fashion Week [...]
Super! Mon Amour in Paris
February 12, 2009 – 4:25 pm
There’s some pretty shredding rock/roll/dance shows coming to France from now through the March. Running from February 11th – 22nd, the Super! Mon Amour festival is relatively intimate as far as music happenings go. Featuring 14 bands and seven shows in some of the better venues in Paris, the fest has done away with the [...]
Look Within at The Bloomberg Space
February 11, 2009 – 11:47 am
Portraits have been created for centuries, and for centuries their viewers have sought meaning and drawn assumptions about the subjects that gaze back at them. At ‘Within: New Photographic Portraits’ at the Bloomberg Space in London, four artists were commissioned to explore the subtle psychological power and ambiguity of portraiture. Asked first to consider ‘the [...]
