“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.” -Plato In these complicated times, where tensions
seem to be rising everywhere you turn, practice kindness. It sounds the simplest thing, perhaps almost offensive, that anyone would even feel the need to suggest it, but each and every one of us could use the reminder now and again. We have no way of knowing what others are going through in the moment or over time. It takes just a little extra effort to pause and choose kindness. And it can mean a great deal to those we encounter from day to day. Skuja Braden is an international art duo made up of Ingūna Skuja and Melissa Braden. The two recently closed a show, Pardon My Body, at Kaufmann Repetto in NYC. The title references many layers of meaning. One of these speaks to the artists being born into the wrong bodies themselves. Recently married after a long wait (the two have been together since 1999), the title alludes to the fact that if one of
them had been born in the body of a man, things would have been far easier. To hear more, listen to the complete interview. Mikael Levin joined us to discuss his show, Subaqueous, on view through December 2 at L. Parker Stephenson. The show features a group of photos Levin has not shown before, images of the canal waters in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Levin follows two lines in his work, on oriented toward nature and the landscape and the other toward social structures and modernity. These photos speak to both.

You Didn’t Choose This Life, This Life Chose You… When the going gets rough, artists keep going. That’s the way it’s always been and, no doubt, the way it always will be. Artists have grit. They choose a profession that takes tremendous amounts of work just to get a foothold, and much of that work is done in the face of criticism from every side. And yet they persevere. Here are a few opportunities to keep you moving forward, no matter how rough the road may seem. Read

When the time is
right for you to turn your art into your livelihood, where do you turn first? How does one build a successful career in the art world, a place notorious for its roadblocks and exclusive members-only status? The truth is that you absolutely can forge a life as a working artist, you simply need the right tools, just like with anything else. One of those tools is knowing what sort of opportunities are available – and there are a lot of them – here are a few to get you started. |
These are positive and / or negative reviews of galleries, art fairs, consultants, writers, online pay to play offers, residencies and more – all written by artists so that other artists can beware of situations
where institutions treat artists badly, or that end up costing the artist money or are outright scams.
