Artists In
Residence After five trips to Central America—four videos and four photo series later—I’m wrapping up the fieldwork portion of “The Leafcutters” project.
Next, it’s back to the studio to produce the accompanying drawings and sculptures. There is the inevitable period of reflection at the end of

media collages from the past 35 years opening on Satruday at Adaum Baumgold Gallery. There will be work from her seminal books Two

Exceptional art offers an experience apart from explanation. There’s hardly been a better demonstration of this notion than the experience offered by Ebony G. Patterson in her installation titled …things come to thrive…in the shedding…in the molting…, currently on view at the New York Botanical Garden.

Marketing guru and uber-blogger Seth Godin has said that the best way to sell stuff is to “tell a
story that resonates with people and make sure it’s a true story.” As the presidential campaign rumbles on, very few memorable stories have emerged. At the first
Democratic Presidential debate, for example, Hillary Clinton couldn’t beat Bernie Sanders for friendly crowd appeal. The best she could … Read the full Story >>
