Steve Rockwell’s Colour Match Game at Christopher Cutts
by Catherine MacArthur Falls
Rockwell has thus managed to capture a network of complex meaning within a latticework of simple visual symbols. And through a web of art historical references, has managed to create something novel, enduring, and even fun.
Sexish at Birch Contemporary
by Catherine MacArthur Falls
Sexish is a thought-provoking and nuanced exhibition, one that stands as a welcome interjection into a conversation that is as necessary today as it was 50 years ago. I suggest you join in.
RECALL / Walnut Contemporary
by Catherine MacArthur Falls
It is an ambitious and poignant exhibition — one that not only addresses a difficult subject in an appropriately complex way, but that is also meaningfully site-specific

by Catherine MacArthur Falls
Joseph Hartman has created a beautiful and technically masterful series of photographs, one that not only reminds us of our near-obsession with artists and their creative processes, but that also raises questions, as all interesting art does
