For the collective Art in Ad Places, advertising poisons the potential splendor of public space.

After spotting white smoke billowing from a tower of the Fridericianum Museum in Kassel last weekend, alarmed residents called the fire department, Mo

Documenta 14 is so vast, dispersed, and enigmatic, that it is literally impossible to experience all of it (not to mention that the other half of the quinquennial exhibition has yet to take place, in Kassel, Germany). Yet the earnest visitor should make the effort, while in Athens, not only to take in what he or she can of the international offerings of documenta, but to wander off the beaten path of the biennial map, and sample what the local art scene of Athens has to offer.

The names Cartier, Lalique, Ruhlmann and Puiforcat flit among the labels at the Cooper Hewitt.

Artists have been drawn to kinbaku for centuries for its highly aesthetic and controversial forms.

On March 2, 2017, as part of its Contemporary Curated sale in New York, during Armory Week, Sotheby’s will be offering the very first public sale of works from the Artist Pension Trust® (APT) Collection. APT was founded in 2004 as a mutual assurance program providing long-term financial security for its member artists who deposit artworks with the trust over a 20-year period, and share the net proceeds from the sales. With 13,000 works, by 2,000 member artists, it is the largest private collection of global contemporary art in the world.

It is rare that an art or a medium that is self-reflexive about its structure, its operations, its effects on the viewer, and about assuming a visual strategy that is largely abstract and process oriented, is also preoccupied with its own historicity, it’s own capacity for pictorial representation, it’s own conciliation of fiercely defended ideological oppositions. But these are just some of the contradictions posed by Monika Bravo’s vector art of abstract-representation. Yes, abstract-representation sounds like a non sequitur, but the work that Bravo has exhibited at the Johannes Vogt Gallery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan is focused on making the conciliation of such opposites a presiding philosophy of vector art.

“Tesserae,” an exhibition by Monika Bravo is a beautiful installation which explores notions of time and space, experience and reality, through the interplay of colorful slow-moving geometric colored tiles and natural images projected onto 5 LCD screens across three walls. These are juxtaposed and enhanced by a fast paced projection of shapes, and sites from Google Earth, across the fourth wall – effectively transforming Johannes Vogt Gallery space into a delightful experiential kaleidoscope of corresponding movement and colorful forms.

Roger Hiorns is probably best known for transforming an abandoned South London council flat into a miraculous grotto of blue copper sulphate crystals which covered every surface of its empty rooms in a carpet of sparkling shards.

You always have to think about materials and objects in terms of being malleable – you have to cut them off from what their established use is, to directly interfere with their world-ness, it becomes a process of human empowerment to re-use and re-propose the power of objects simply left lying in the street. - Roger HiornsYou always have to think about materials and objects in terms of being malleable – you have to cut them off from what their established use is, to directly interfere with their world-ness, it becomes a process of human empowerment to re-use and re-propose the power of objects simply left lying in the street. - Roger Hiorns
