    I had the good fortune of running into Jim Herbert while I was out skateboarding around Bushwick over Labor Day weekend, and we got to talking about summer, about art, about shows, and about the then-yet-forthcoming season of new exhibitions. We also talked about how it had been a while since the last [READ ►]

Scibetta-3

    For some reason I find that one of the most effective ways to make a very busy week feel less busy is to incorporate into it a few extra things I really want to do, to offset the various things to which I’m variably obligated. Yes, this is tantamount to making myself busier [READ ►]

Erika-4

  I’d been looking forward to visiting Erika Ranee’s Bushwick studio for quite a while before finally doing so a few days ago, just a couple weeks after the closing of her solo show at LMAKgallery, Gasoline Rainbows. Erika showed me a few older pieces and some transitional work before we started discussing a number [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 ►]

Jackson5

  I visited Katherine Jackson in her Williamsburg studio yesterday to get a closer, more comprehensive look at her multifariously formal artworks in light and glass that are abundantly luminous on levels literal and metaphorical alike. While looking at, into and discussing a dozen or so of those pieces—some of which feature incised drawings or [READ ►]

All photographs by Paul D'Agostino.

  I visited Rosalind Tallmadge in her studio, currently located in Ridgewood, just days before she’d be packing up and shipping off a suite of new paintings to Detroit, Michigan, for her forthcoming solo show, Nocturnes, at David Klein Gallery. Rosalind had ten or so recent works to show me—abstract interventions on stretched silk or [READ ►]

Brett4

  A couple days ago I visited Brett Wallace in his East Williamsburg studio situated in a recently converted minor factory of sorts down the block from ex-3rd Ward. The door to Brett’s chunk of space within this structure is the last on the right down a long hallway of one studio door after another, [READ ►]

Gatson5

  I recently had the pleasure of visiting Rico Gatson’s Bushwick studio as he prepares works for his forthcoming solo show at Samsøn Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts. It will open this June. While looking and at and making installation-related associations among the artist’s boldly marked, abundantly bright, curiously meta-dimensional, and politically suggestive yet not overtly [READ ►]

Swan-6

  I recently visited Lawrence Swan’s studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn to talk about and select pieces for Of Plectics, Swan’s forthcoming solo exhibition at Centotto Gallery, slated to open later this month. While discussing works and their conceptual and material geneses, we talked about halved squares, split mandalas, cursive pictograms, pictorial fluidities, implied symmetries, plans interrupted, [READ ►]
