Don’t miss the upcoming talk with Art Curator Sara Lynn Henry and Sculptor Millicent Young Sat. April 27, 5:30pm at 11 Jane Street Art Center Posted @withrepost • @millicent.young A first encounter of sound, film, and movement.... When There Were Birds inspiring us: Meira Blaustein as creative film maker embarking on this new project; Timothy Hill, through voice and Steve Gorn with flute, meeting the silent forms and shaping the space into a sound field with breath; me as a moving body among the still forms I made. Each of us responding to the field as we created it. Sublime. Unfolding ✨✨✨ #MillicentYoung #Sculpture #WhenThereWereBirds

Richard Bosman at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery

“Fear eats the soul, and anxiety keeps it up at night, producing a string of symptoms onto which delusions and fantasies may freely attach. Follow the stairs up to Richard Bosman’s exhibition “High Anxiety,” and find yourself inside the modern human, whose mind balances on the knife-edge of total collapse.” Richard Bosman’s brilliant solo show at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery gets love from Artforum - get there before April 21!

“Place yourself in front of the fear.
You will be judged, you will die.
Place yourself in the center of the universe
You earned that spot simply by existing.

The Critical Edge | Vasari21

Jen Dragon was included in this interview in Vasari21.com with gallerists and art writers about getting work reviewed by art critics. Read more: http://bit.ly/ccavas21a
“Since I was operating on a shoestring, I would host a private dinner after the opening that I prepared myself earlier in the day,” says Jen Dragon, whose gallery, Cross Contemporary, just closed its doors in upstate New York. “After a couple of years, I moved the dinners to an Italian Restaurant (Bella Luna of Saugerties) across the street that could easily seat a large group of us together... But apart from the opening festivities, I would make a point of personally inviting an art writer to visit the show, and then I would treat them to lunch. This worked well as it gave me an opportunity to get to know the critic and find out more about them. Lastly, many art critics are also poets and/or published authors, so it made sense to host a reading of their work at the gallery. This helped expand the mission of the art gallery into a more cultural space.” #artcollector #contemporaryart #artcritic

The Critical Edge by Ann Landi | Jan 20, 2019 | Features | 0 comments Some tips for getting art writers to notice your work. Hint: a cow’s tongue probably will not do the trick. It’s the dream of every artist to be noticed by a prestige critic, like Roberta Smith or Jerry Saltz or any other of t...
