The Marilyn Nance exhibition at Roberts Projects beautifully demonstrates the phenomenon known as six degrees of separation—the idea that all people are six or fewer connections away from each other. Nance was 21 when she was chosen to be the United States’ official photographer of the historic Second World Black and African Festival of Arts […] The post GALLERY ROUNDS: Marilyn Nance <div ><span>Roberts Projects</span></div> appeared first on Artillery Magazine ..read more

Absorbing and jocular, Stars’ current exhibition, “Janet Olivia Henry’s Recent Academic Abstractions,” is where tableaux dioramas become the central force and unique vantage point from which deliberate performance emerges from assemblage and sculpture. In Wrought: WAC’s Drum Corps (2007–24), Henry’s compositions made up of legos, miniature collectables, action figures and dolls and handcrafted elements, are […] The post PICK OF THE WEEK: Janet Olivia Henry <div ><span>Stars</span></div> appeared first on Artillery Magazine ..read more

Carolyn Castaño’s “Otros Seres” (Other Beings) exhibition at Walter Maciel Gallery is an exhilarating eyeful of stealth environmental disaster. Castaño, of Colombian-American heritage, is well-known for her early extravagant and provocative Garden Heads (narco-referenced portrait) and lush landscapes.

Feathers, fur, gills, horns, tails (spiked and scaled), claws, talons, hooves, and forked tongues are some of the characteristics that adorn Evangeline AdaLioryn’s strange amalgamations. The locust of the exhibition, “Her Labyrinth,” presents an assemblage of creatures and ritualistic objects that coalesce in the pit of the gallery, creating a shrine-like enclosure of candy-coated divinations […] The post GALLERY ROUNDS: Evangeline AdaLioryn <div ><span>Sebastian Gladstone</span></div> appeared first on Artillery Magazine ..read more

Blood is unsightly in the flesh. Witnessing a bleeding person, one might turn away—or worse, be overcome with nausea and faint. For a substance essential to our functioning, to life itself, its image provokes extreme distress. If we were to trust our physiological responses to it, we’d think that blood is meant to remain hidden […] The post GALLERY ROUNDS: Blood: Medieval/Modern <div ><span>Getty Museum</span></div> appeared first on Artillery Magazine ..read more

Appearing as if they are on the verge of moving, Yuji Ueda’s ceramic vessels are complex, layered and their own abstracted compositions, both planned through his methodical process yet a surprise from the firing process. Based in Shigaraki, Japan—a place famous for its ceramic production and one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns—Ueda collects soil and […] The post PUBLISHER’S EYE: Yuji Ueda <div ><span>BLUM</span></div> appeared first on Artillery Magazine ..read more
