    Men of God, Men of Nature Makes Denver Art Museum A Mecca

    The Fuse Box Gallery on level four of the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building is all angles with slanted walls and sloping ceiling, as designed by architect Daniel Libeskind.

    Well Somebody Has Discovered a Cash (Sea) Cow

    I have too much data inbound at any time and here is proof.  I was working on some email interactions where I am basically bargaining with various publicists on all the coasts (publicists live on coasts it’s against their code to live in Des Moines) for coverage of shows, and shwag, and whatever else I can think of at the time.  Then literally simultaneously a commercial comes on the TV More …

    Vivian Maier’s Humanist Eye: An Overdue Introduction

    Monroe Gallery’s exhibit of photographs by the recently “discovered” Vivian Maier is a is a long overdue introduction to Maier’s marvelous images, and a revelation on multiple levels.  While her corpus is a historic discovery, it’s also a cool blast of unpretentiousness, and a reminder of what good photography looks like. Maier’s story tends to the textbook risen-from-obscurity: She was a poor, periodically homeless woman who obsessively photographed with cheap cameras, More …

    Art Feasting in Santa Fe

    Place: Santa Fe. Time: A crisp winter’s evening the end of February 2012.

    Caldera Gallery Brings Some New (Cool) Heat to Santa Fe

    We in Santa Fe, have been suffering from an epidemic of awful, unimaginative, hotel-ready art.   Neon coyotes, sad Indians, and post-modern splatterings have nearly eviscerated our cultural soul.  This isn’t hyperbole; our economic lifeblood, after all, is art (and tourism).  To be pigeonholed as a kitsch capital could mean the death sentence. And yet, and yet. For those many who might have thought that Santa Fe had become a depressing More …

    Political Art and Tom Molloy’s New World

    When we think of murals on public walls, we might imagine childlike portraits stretched across city blocks—or, the popularized work of Shepard Fairey (currently in Dallas). But we might not imagine a mural which touts an anti-American slogan like, “Down with U.S.A.,” or depictions of the statue of liberty as a skeleton, which the Associated Press reported February 2, 2012 represents several murals throughout Tehran, Iran—as “Government-sponsored murals became a More …

    Idiot Glee at St. David’s Episcopal Church (2/17/2012)

    James Friley — a.k.a. Idiot Glee — makes fuzzy, lo-fi doo wop that would not sound out of place emanating from a radiator in a David Lynch film. The twelve tracks on Idiot Glee’s debut LP, Paddywhack (Moshi Moshi), are as eerie as they are cheery. Vocal samples are looped and layered and looped and layered until an otherworldly chorus of disembodied voices begins to drift around like a cloud More …
