Tom Burr Work from Sentence at Bortolami Gallery. “…One distinction of Burr’s work that persists is his consideration of the ephemeral. This interest extends beyond time to all sensory experiences, which must be transitory by nature. He describes individual sculptures as ‘moments’ and thinks of their varied qualities in terms of musical notes, temperatures, and […]

Stéphane Thidet Work from his oeuvre. “…A slightly embarrassed Prosper Mérimée admitted “a keen taste for bandits”.

Jeongmoon Choi Work from his oeuvre. “Jeongmoon Choi works with thread and traces this three-dimensional line directly into volume to create illusions of perspective.

Seth Price Work from his exhibition at Friedrich Petzel, New York. “Seth Price presents a show of new paintings. In various media. Portraits of envelopes and letter paper.
