  Yesterday I visited Zaun Lee in her studio on the Upper West Side. Given the logical cohesion and conceptual rigor that characterizes much of her generally drawing-based, structurally reflective work, it seemed very fitting for her space to be so orderly. Zaun walked me here and there and back and forth through the thoughts [READ ►]

  I biked over to Anne Russinof’s studio a few days ago to bring her a painting and see what she’d been working on of late. It turns out she’s been working on a lot of new pieces at once, exploring a few new forms of compositional parametrics, and just generally infusing the world—per her [READ ►]
