New Work From Kansas City at Carrie Secrist Gallery
An effort to define “Midwestern Painting” has been a major topic of discussion lately – not a quite debate, but definitely an inquiry. Carrie Secrist’s recent exhibition New Work from Kansas City, featuring work by Anne Lindberg, Kent Michael Smith, and Paul Anthony Smith, foregrounds an emphasis on site and contemporary practice in the Midwest. While the press release pushes against a read of “regionalism”, the exhibition suggests otherwise – th

David Rathman and the Wild West Reimagined
David Rathman’s recent watercolor exhibit “Hope I’m Never That Wrong Again” at Mark Moore Gallery featured fading sepia-toned watercolor cowboys gallivanting around a fading wild west like ghosts…It was filled with images reminiscent of Lonesome Dove that would have made Larry McMurtry proud.

Gedi Sibony at Greene Naftali in New York
On view at Greene Naftali are twenty new works by the New York artist Gedi Sibony. The show begins with a small room of found, framed works, each reversed in its frame and hung on the wall, so as to only display its posterior side to viewers.

Instead, viewers are confronted with the aged and discolored backing of each work, irregularly held in place with patches of tape.
