Read on ARTslant “Black as Midnight on a Moonless Night” by Natalie Hegert That’s how Special Agent Cooper likes his coffee, and that’s what I thought of when viewing SUPERBLACK by Jordan Tate, at Transformer Station in Cleveland, Ohio. “That’s pretty black,” says Pete Martell, as he pours a cup of coffee for Cooper in that first episode of Twin Peaks. SUPERBLACK is pretty black all right. In fact it’s the blackest black you’ll ever see. It’s… excuse me… really…Read More
Read on WCPO Cincinnati “Black Hole Sun: Cincinnati Artist Jordan Tate Plays with Perceptions of Light and Dark ‘Superblack’ is Result of Both Art and Science” by Matt Peiken CINCINNATI — Unlike most artists, Jordan Tate cares more about triggering reactions in viewers than he does about the objects he creates.

Exhibition runs March 29 – June 14, 2014 Link to Transformer Station website SUPERBLACK is the result of a two-year research project in collaboration with scientists at the University of Cincinnati. SUPERBLACK is a physical body designed to absorb nearly all electromagnetic radiation (visible light, infrared light, ultraviolet light, etc.) and offer the experience of a localized, contained, and absolute darkness.

IN THE STUDIO WITH JASON GRINGLER Interview by Marina Cashdan. Photos by Alex John Beck. Read on Artsy. INTRODUCING JASON GRINGLER We’ve been following Jason Gringler since his 2012 solo show at Brand New Gallery, where the Toronto-born, New York-based artist filled the Milan gallery’s wall with a grid of shimmering, fragmented mirrors.

Read on the Tenement Museum Blog “Contemporary Art with a Historical Twist” by Lib Tietjen Museums can have the bad habit of getting stuck in the past.

The gallery ”specializes in work by emerging and mid-career artists whose practices are interdisciplinary, process-oriented,…Read More
Read on Zeek “Relative Unknowns: When Images Outlast Memory, but not Meaning” By Danielle Durchslag January 21, 2014 Growing up in Chicago, the house of my childhood had the usual range of portraits on display, with a few unfortunate mid-90s studio shots of me and my sister thrown in the mix. My parents, like so many others, designated a specific wall to these images, the ones deemed important enough to merit framing and display. Most of us grow up in…Read More
Read on Slate. “Fantasy Versus Reality in the Online Dating World” by David Rosenberg Signing up on 16 online dating sites and going out on 100 dates in a year might not be something you’d talk to your mother about, but it does provide fodder for an interesting photography project. Sean Fader did exactly that beginning in January 2010 and suddenly found himself enmeshed in a project in which he felt like an “emotional train wreck.” Fader didn’t start out that way….Read More
Read on the Huffington Post. “4 Contemporary Female Artists Who Are Shaping The Future of Painting” by Priscilla Frank. December 19, 2013. The year 1913 forever changed the trajectory of painting.

Read on photoworks Nikolai Ishchuk’s Offset series pulls apart the family album. Ishchuk has digitally reworked a set of found snapshots, separating the central figures from each other and leaving the middle of the frame oddly vacant. This gesture is a direct function of the Photoshop offset filter referenced in the title, a tool that automatically splits an image down the middle and reverses the pieces so that the centre moves to the edges and the edges meet in a…Read More
By Tina Rivers This show contributes to the heated debate over the relationship between contemporary art and digital technology by cleverly focusing on the idea of “windows.” In this context, windows is a double entendre, referring both to the long-standing metaphor for the picture plane in Western art and to the more recent use of overlapping frames to organize information on computer screens, challenging the window’s association with a single-point perspective. The artists in this show are fluent in both…Read More
