REVIEWS

 

posted 07/03/2009 from Des Plaines, Illinois DIANE THODOS on Qigu Jiang at the Koehnline Museum
	Jiang’s work is philosophy in motion: Essence of line and essence of modern truth are his constant themes.

posted 07/09/2009 DAWN-MICHELLE BAUDE on Ross Chisholm at Marc Jancou
	The background shadows throb with an almost Goya-esque expressionism. Maybe the matron is escaping into a sci-fi film. Maybe she's wandering through the forbidden recesses of memory itself.

posted 08/16/09 - July issue DREW LOWENSTEIN on Anselm Kiefer Drawings at the Metropolitan Museum
	Kiefer is a complicated independent, one who adopts the revanchist Neo Expressionist mode of his peers, yet embraces and exposes the repressed and tangled complexities of German life.

posted 08/24/09 - July issue JONATHAN GOODMAN on Heidi Van Wieren at Margaret Thatcher Projects
	The consequences of Van Wieren’s style allow for simultaneous readings of her art.
