Interview by Frédéric Caillard, February 2019
I started doing the cut-outs shapes and building my own panels almost four years ago now. But to me the works I was making before were the same, except they were rectangular. They also were abstract landscapes that talked about space, shapes and colors.

Three exhibitions featuring feathers, textiles, and pigment prints open in New York and Wisconsin this fall.
A masters in architecture informs Erin O’Keefe’s abstract yet dimensional photography. In fact, it’s translating 3-D space into a 2-D image, and the distortion that comes with it, that is the “central issue” in her work.
The space is filled with objects that hold emotional weight and have their own relations to a particular place and time for the artist. Council has created an environment to house these transitional objects (i.e. objects that provide psychological comfort), in turn building a “transitional” space for herself and for her viewers to experience.
A lone painter agonizes over a canvas, working into the wee hours of the night. Such mythologized visions of artists have been widely popularized, but hardly reflect reality. In truth, many artists, particularly those at the top of their game, work like any other highly skilled professionals, with defined work hours, methodical processes, and the support of assistants.

Food and eating figure into some of the whimsical interactive works by the American artist Mark Dion that now dot the Storm King Art Center’s more than 500 acres and museum in the Hudson Valley.
NYFA has awarded $661,000 to 98 New York State artists working in the categories of Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design, Choreography, Music/Sound, Photography, and Playwriting/Screenwriting.
Erin O’Keefe is no stranger to It’s Nice That. She first graced our screens in 2014 and again in 2015 – like magpies we were instantly drawn to the bright colours and structural geometry that features throughout her work. And now she returns with her latest series, Built Work.
Younger dealers share experiences and expertise to survive the middle-market squeeze.
As the dominance of mega galleries rises, New York’s younger dealers say camaraderie and mentorship will be key to surviving the middle-market squeeze.

In Jeremy Couillard’s HOTR Home Furnishing, an IKEA-like warehouse store serves as a re-education camp for billionaires following the Earth‘s salvation at the hands of aliens. As a necessary condition of the transition to a more equitable and climate-friendly society, the aliens are attempting to retrain the billionaires of the old world to perform humble and useful tasks—specifically, to assemble prefab furniture.
In the spaces between them, she creates worlds of color and ponders the nature of spatial perception, as three-dimensional objects are flattened into paintings or photographs.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Two New Mexico artists thread inspiration from the state’s high desert terrain through seemingly opposite styles.
Paula Wilson’s print world entangles silhouetted figures with fantasy landscapes.

Like painters everywhere, Amanda Valdez applies paint to canvases that have been stretched over sturdy supports.
But that’s just the start. She adds hand-dyed and commercially printed fabrics to her works — sometimes stitching blob-shaped sections to canvas, other times cutting holes in the canvas and patching them with precisely measured sections of fabric, as if repairing torn trousers without wasting an inch of cloth.
The line between art and video games was blurred a long time ago, but the two shows opening at Denny Dimin Gallery this Thursday cast an even wider net, dealing with both digital gaming experiences and more analog, nostalgic board games.
Ann Shelton’s brightly colored photographs of exquisite floral arrangements, on view now at New York’s Denny Dimin Gallery, aren’t just beautiful—they also carry a hidden meaning.
Denny Dimin Gallery has launched its Tribeca space with a show of fertility-focused photographs by the New Zealand artist Ann Shelton, jane says.
Shelton’s thoughtful brand of feminist flower arranging throws the delicate daintiness of the practice out the window. As much as it might seem unlikely, these are intellectual, in fact subtly angry, activist photographs that encourage women to take back the knowledge that is rightfully theirs.
