Teri Donovan at Red Head Gallery
by Ana Algarvio Alves & Emese Krunák-Hajagos
Donovan presents us with a selection of intimate pieces depicting a young woman’s journey into adulthood, through her memories.
Matthew Giffin at Helio Gallery
by Mikael Sandblom
We interpret these pieces like the half-remembered images and narratives of dreams whose meaning seems familiar but become more elusive and ambiguous the more we try to pin them down.
Ric Evans at Nicholas Metivier Gallery
by Steve Rockwell
Evans calls for a sharpening of our senses, to condition and discipline our sense of sight to a point of insight and knowledge.
VAYA at Urban Gallery
by Talia Williams
the viewer is instantly hit with an overwhelming sense of madness. Wild colors and editorial photographs capture your gaze while you stand still in the midst of this artist’s deliberate chaos.
Tim Deverell: Fragments of Memory / Yumart
by Rachel Williams
Deverell’s art is telling us how one tackles the inescapable task of remembering someone beautiful and remembering her beautifully.
Reverie at Lonsdale Gallery
by Maria Mendoza Camba
True to its theme of imaginings, Katherine Tzu-Lan Mann and Beth James allow their audience to envisage the movement of their dreams and thoughts permitting us to see, how they could possibly appear should they have the inventiveness to materialize and move on their own.
Sandblom and Tseng at Elaine Fleck
by Hugh Alcock
These two artists share a sophistication of thought that is evident in these beautiful works.
8th Anniversary at RKG
by Emese Krunák-Hajagos
“openness, inclusiveness, and unconventionality are the streams that create this show,”
Sustenance at Gallery 1313
by Hugh Alcock
all of the works are measured in the sense that they are not obscenely didactic, but rather show restrains with regards to the difficult subject they tackle
Sondra Meszaros at Corkin Gallery
by Maria Mendoza Camba
Meszaros reclaims the female body, putting her in charge of her own fate by stripping her sex-slave identity, as the black veil of pigment covers most of her body from the male gaze, replacing the impulse of male violence with female strength and ferocity.
Adrienne Crossman at the Patel Projects
by Rashana Youtzy
Crossman has created a space to explore queerness, inciting a desire for patrons to research the references and interrogate the ways in which the community has been represented.
