“It’s tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. It’s the possibility of infinite rebirth, infinite redemption. The idea that if you keep playing, you could win. No loss is
permanent, because nothing is permanent, ever.” -Zevin Gabrielle, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
Do you put off what you could be doing today, believing that tomorrow is guaranteed? Although we are all aware that our
time is finite, it’s difficult to internalize that sometimes, to really believe that one day will be our last. Imagine that day is today. What do you wish you’d done? Are there things you’re putting off now that you would be regretful to let go of in the end? It may sound cliche – but cliches often are born of profound wisdom – don’t wait.
Tom Burckhardt chatted with us about his show, Ulterior Motif, running through April 6 and George Adams Gallery. The title, of course, hints at the phrase ulterior motive, which Burckhardt admits is “kind of a dad
joke.” On a deeper level, the paintings in the show have quite a lot of motifs making them on one level abstract paintings, but also speak to his interest in the idea that a line in a painting has no conscious ability to know it’s being laid down but can suddenly snap into place as something depictive.

interview.
Mathieu Malouf spoke with us about his show, Women and Penguins, which closed an extended run at Nahmad Contemporary on March 20. After attempting to not have a title, it was decided to simply name the show with the lowest degree of fanfare by simply describing the figures that appear in the work.
