Iraq's past in present danger. (Front Page).(archaeological sites)

March 1, 2003... Added to the list of museum projects being put on hold, or canceled, is Daniel Libeskind's design for the Magnes Museum in San Francisco [see A.i.A., Nov. '02]. While the weak economy is a factor, an internal rift over the museum's identity and...

A quiet crisis: is there a serious breakdown in the dialogue around contemporary painting? Should art critics get back into the business of making value judgments? (Issues & Commentary).(painting and the past)(Critical Essay)
March 1, 2003... Painting and the Past Forgetting the past, or keeping it safely quarantined or never having known it in the first place--much of what's wrong with contemporary painting is, I think, the result of people and institutions adopting those...

Rare gestures: various misconceptions about Abstract-Expressionist prints, a long-neglected field, are challenged in a traveling show titled "The Stamp of Impulse." (Prints).(Naples Museum of Art)
March 1, 2003... Received wisdom has it that Abstract Expressionism was not a significant movement for prints. With a few exceptions--Gottlieb, Motherwell, Frankenthaler, Francis--Abstract-Expressionist artists have generally been viewed as contributing little...

Money is no object: by deciding early on that he would not depend for a living on sales of his work, Marcel Duchamp took a crucial step toward freeing his art from material constraints and the vicissitudes of commerce. (Duchampiana II).(Museum Jean Tinguely, Basel)(Critical Essay)
March 1, 2003... In the early 1960s, after some 40 years of having enjoyed a state of comparative anonymity in the world of contemporary art, Marcel Duchamp was suddenly--and somewhat unexpectedly--resuscitated. In hindsight, it is not hard to see why this...

Picabia, the new paradigm.(Francis Picabia, Neo-Classicism painting)(Critical Essay)
March 1, 2003... Late Picabia has overtaken early Picabia as a subject of consuming interest. The change began around 1980, when younger artists such as David Salle and Julian Schnabel started to imitate the overlapping, "non-compositional" imagery of Picabia's...

Bodies of knowledge: reacting to an exhibition currently on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the author gives an informed evaluation of Degas's fine eye for the spectacle--and everyday discipline--of professional dance.(French painter and sculptor Edgar Degas)(Critical Essay)
March 1, 2003... When I was a student at the School of American Ballet, every adult I knew assumed that Degas was my favorite painter. He wasn't, and I was puzzled when they expected me to be enraptured by paintings like the Philadelphia Museum of Art's The...

Gillian Wearing, private I: in her first U.S. museum show, Wearing investigates the complexities of identity, probing the "truth" of self-disclosure, via portrait photographs and videos that employ masks, overdubbing and lip-synching.(video installation at Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Illinois)(Critical Essay)
March 1, 2003... A big photographic Self-Portrait (2000) introduced a wonderful survey of Gillian Wearing's work at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, but she's not giving much away: her face is almost completely concealed behind a generic plastic mask....

Doug Ohlson's fields of meaning: covering 20 years of this prolific abstractionist's output, a recent New York exhibition examined the visual and metaphorical subtleties of his large-scale paintings.("Doug Ohlson, 20 Years of Painting 1982-2002" at Times Square Gallery, Hunter College, New York)
March 1, 2003... Since the mid-1960s, Doug Ohlson has been making large paintings from blocks and bands of color. Having established these premises, he has stuck with them, giving his oeuvre a sweeping consistency. Whatever faith a long career as an abstract...

The everday of yesterday: a New York gallery recently exhibited a long-unseen body of work from the Pop era--Alex Hay's oversized versions of ordinary objects. Viewed now, these trompe l'oeil paintings and sculptures take on new associations.(painting at Peter Freeman, New York)
March 1, 2003... The spirit of Pop art is generally associated with the antic side of the bipolar '60s. The very name suggests a certain explosiveness, and its legacy is traced, as a rule, through the noisier artists of succeeding decades, from Jeff Koons to...

David Hammons at Ace. (New York).("Concerto in Black and Blue")
March 1, 2003... David Hammons returned to Manhattan for his first high-profile exhibition in more than a decade. His installation was a gutsy, engaging public spectacle that he created through the elegant manipulation of space, light and human form. Ace...

Michal Rovner at the Whitney Museum. (New York).(photography)
March 1, 2003... Blur, as a way for photography to examine its own soft spots, has thrived lately. But politics would seem to call for fairly exacting acuity, and Michal Rovner's swoony images of intractable real-world problems have angered some viewers. On...

Sam Taylor-Wood at Matthew Marks. (New York).("The Passion")
March 1, 2003... Seated on a staircase, legs akimbo, Sam Taylor-Wood occupies the frame of her own large-scale projection, the 35mm film-to-DVD Pieta (2001)--titled after the Michelangelo sculpture that is her inspiration--with the actor Robert Downey Jr....

Alix Pearlstein at Artemis Greenberg Van Doren. (New York).(Episode, video installation)
March 1, 2003... At first glance, Alix Pearlstein's video installation Episode suggested a cheesy family sitcom mixed with elements of improvisational dance. Dual projections on opposite walls of the gallery's elongated space showed the same scenes shot from...

Toba Khedoori at David Zwirner. (New York).(mixed media painting )
March 1, 2003... In Toba Khedoori's recent and much-anticipated exhibition, which inaugurated David Zwirner's new gallery in Chelsea, several features among the five untitled pieces heralded a shift in the artist's work. While she continues to favor large...

Richard Hogan at Linda Durham. (New York).(oil painting)
March 1, 2003... The oil paintings of Richard Hogan suggest a kind of primitive palimpsest of delicate, undulating white lines and shadows. It is hardly surprising that Hogan is interested in paleolithic and neolithic art, although, as William Peterson points...

Anselm Kiefer at Gagosian. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Anselm Kiefer named this exhibition of eight vast paintings and two monumental sculptures "Merkaba," identified in gallery materials as the Divine Chariot, a vehicle to the Hechaloth, the heavenly palaces in mystical Hebraic teachings predating...

Teresita Fernandez at Lehmann Maupin. (New York).(sculpture)
March 1, 2003... If Louis Comfort Tiffany had ever entertained the improbable notion of designing a stained-glass waterslide, it might have looked something like Teresita Fernandez's Waterfall (2000), an elegant wave-shaped ramp made up of translucent...

Willie Cole at Alexander and Bonin. (New York).(sculpture)
March 1, 2003... Barrel-chested, bristly and incendiary, but also matronly and gemutlich, Willie Cole's scene-stealing chicken sculpture is feathered with hundreds of red-tipped wooden matches; its tail is made of broom heads, and its crest and wattles of red...

Nina Levy at Feigen and Metaphor. (New York).(sculpture)
March 1, 2003... Nina Levy has bounded onto the New York stage in the last few years with multiple and frequent exhibitions, this season with two at once. She regularly presents figurative sculptures made of cast and painted resin and fiberglass, along with...

R.M. Fischer at Sandra Gering. (New York).(sculpture)
March 1, 2003... Since the late '70s, New York artist R.M. Fischer has been assembling industrial objects--plumbing fragments, lighting parts, pots, watering cans, clocks--into pseudo-functional sculptures that are not easily categorized. At once nostalgic and...

John Bisbee at Plane Space. (New York).(sculpture)
March 1, 2003... Maine sculptor John Bisbee, who teaches at Bowdoin College, made his New York debut as the inaugural show at Plane Space, a converted West Village firehouse. The exhibition consisted of three works from a series of five (all dated 2002), each...

Gary Hill at Barbara Gladstone. (New York).(video recordings)
March 1, 2003... The sounds emanating from the four video pieces in Gary Hill's recent exhibition at Gladstone--random wailing, garbled voices and repetitive droning--evoked nothing so much as a nightmarish madhouse. It seems an apt association for this artist...

Valerie Belin at Brent Sikkema. (New York).(photography)
March 1, 2003... French artist Valerie Belin produces large-scale, fine-grained black-and-white photographs, usually grouped around a common theme. During the developing process, she radically heightens the contrast between lights and darks, transforming her...

Uta Barth at Bonakdar. (New York).(photography)
March 1, 2003... Color photography's recent ability to rival painting in scale and stylistic range seemed particularly well exemplified by Uta Barth's mid-'90s work from the "Ground" and "Field" series; in some images, she reinvented pointillism as...

Clifford Ross at Sonnabend. (New York).(photography)
March 1, 2003... On a late-August Tuesday in 1998, the storm named Bonnie reached the status of a major hurricane, its winds driving the ocean before it, creating churning, heavy surf along the Atlantic coast. Bonnie made landfall and, proceeding north, ripped...

Ann Craven at Klemens Gasser & Tanja Grunert. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Reminiscent of both "Hang in There" kitty posters and Audubon prints, Ann Craven's vividly colored paintings of fawns and tropical birds posed against blurred backdrops are cloying but sumptuous reminders of the pleasures of her medium. By...

Audrey Ushenko at Denise Bibro. (New York).("Among My Souvenirs")
March 1, 2003... In Among My Souvenirs, Audrey Ushenko gives us a new form of salon painting that is both magnificent and discreet. The title is, of course, a witty play on a lachrymose old pop tune; Ushenko is that rara avis in contemporary art, a big-hearted...

James McGarrell at George Adams. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Departing from his recent, large, multipanel pieces, James McGarrell showed new works that were strikingly small: all about 10 inches high for single works, or 10 by 20 inches for diptychs. His subject matter remains similar, however, to that...

Chuck Connelly at Lennon, Weinberg. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... An ocular amble into Chuck Connelly's dense thickets of paint is not a lyrical "walk in the woods." Much like Joseph Conrad's metaphoric jungle settings, Connelly's phantasmagoric "leaf"-motifs are overgrowths fraught with imminence. Inside...

Harold Gregor at Katharina Rich Perlow. (New York).("Flatscapes")
March 1, 2003... Harold Gregor has sometimes dealt with the low landscape of central Illinois, where he lives, by emphasizing the horizon in his paintings. But in his long-running acrylic-on-canvas series called "Flatscapes," he eliminates the horizon by...

Joseph Nechvatal at Universal Concepts Unlimited. (New York).("vOluptuary: an algorithmic hermaphomology")
March 1, 2003... In the artist/theorist tradition of Robert Smithson, Joseph Nechvatal, a pioneer in the field of digital image-making, challenges conventional notions of space and time, gender and self. His recent exhibition, titled "vOluptuary: an algorithmic...

Joe Fyfe at Jay Grimm. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Not the least remarkable aspect of Joe Fyfe's show at Jay Grimm was that it could be seen in its entirety, with due and dignified attention to each piece, without the viewer shifting feet. Grimm's storefront gallery in the northern reaches of...

Wlodzimierz Ksiazek at Kouros. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Pointing out that Wlodzimierz Ksiazek's ravishingly obdurate abstractions resist easy interpretation is merely a roundabout way of identifying their chief characteristic: the constantly shifting range of mutable associations this painter is...

Les Rogers at Leo Koenig. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Les Rogers's use of a broad range of painterly devices is a familiar neo-expressionist gambit. Like Sigmar Polke, he shifts gears between a tonal representationalism that is somewhat photographic and layered drawing, and then pulls away,...

Pat Passlof at Elizabeth Harris. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... The most salient characteristic of Pat Passlof's painting is its strong, sure brushstroke delineating loosely contrived geometric shapes--stripes, triangles or balls that dance and vibrate with spontaneity. One thinks of Susan Rothenberg minus...

Matt Marello at Pierogi. (New York).(video installation)
March 1, 2003... Matt Marello is known for eccentric videos in which he uses digital techniques to insinuate himself into found television or movie scenes. He has, for instance, guest-starred as several famous philosophers in episodes of 1960s television shows...

James Clark and Joan Waltemath at Sideshow. (New York).(painting and sculpture)
March 1, 2003... Robert Morris's 1966 statement that "the better new work takes relationships out of the work and makes them a function of space, light and the viewer's field of vision" is pertinent to last season's collaborative installation by the painter...

Jim Shaw at Metro Pictures and the Swiss Institute. (New York).(painting)
March 1, 2003... Jim Shaw's concurrent exhibitions, both based on a fictitious religion called "O-ism," stood as iconographic antipodes. The contradictions they manifested--within each show and between them--shed light on the nature of faith and its...

"Ferus" at Gagosian. (New York).(Ferus Gallery)
March 1, 2003... In the golden age of Los Angeles art many years ago, Ferus Gallery emerged like Brigadoon out of the foggy hills of West Hollywood. Ferus was founded in 1957 on a street named La Cienega for the swamps on which it grew. It came into existence...

"Ironic/Iconic" at the Studio Museum in Harlem. (New York).(Christine Y. Kim photography)
March 1, 2003... "Ironic/Iconic," curated by Christine Y. Kim, featured the work of the three 2001-02 participants in the museum's prestigious artist-in-residence program, who have joined the ranks of three decades of distinguished alumni such as David Hammons,...

Leslie Wayne and Don Porcaro at the Dorsky Museum. (New Paltz, N.Y.).("Love in the Afternoon" and "Oracle")
March 1, 2003... The painter Leslie Wayne and her husband, sculptor Don Porcaro, combined their very different works in this delightfully sympathetic show. They defined it as two solos--she called hers "Love in the Afternoon" and he called his "Oracle"--but...

Jerald Leans at Solomon Projects. (Atlanta).(paintings)
March 1, 2003... Using only subtle changes in color, shape and texture in his paintings, Jerald leans creates mesmerizing visual riddles that function on a cerebral level that is both soothing and challenging. In his recent show, he presented six new...

Bruno Simard at Galerie Luz. (Montreal).
March 1, 2003... Bruno Simard's small sculptures owe much to the tradition of Canadian art that values fine craftsmanship. Simard works in miniature scale; most pieces in this show were less than 6 inches in height. From a distance the sculptures appear to be...

David Vandekop at Nouvelles Images. (The Hague).
March 1, 2003... David Vandekop (1937-1994) had an amazing feel for scale and could make convincing sculptures at any measure. The 56 small to medium-size works in this show--bronze, iron, wood and ceramic sculptures, plus watercolors, dated 1972-94--were...

Brigitte Waldach at Jarmuschek & Partner. (Berlin).
March 1, 2003... Many who know this Berlin gallery space were surprised by Brigitte Waldach's exhibition, "Fehlraeume" (Lost Spaces), and felt disoriented in its exceptional atmosphere. The interior gave the impression of being cool and endless, occupied only...
