The exploration of the non-literal sense of space and family will be the thrust of the Salon We-Are-Familia exhibit at Open Space Gallery , in New York art town Beacon.
Headed by creative director Jennifer Garcia (of SEEE tee fame), We-Are-Familia comprises a collective of 50 artists spread across many disciplines focused on the concept of family.
Artists including Holly Stevenson, Yoh Nagao, Jesse Brown and Peter Kienzle for Superette will show their multimedia pieces, an eclectic mix of work that ranges from photographs to furniture. The highlight of the show is "Keepsake Box No. 5," a motley mix of found furniture pieces and 37 artworks assembled together, including a video screen showing movies by director Olivier Babinet and video artist Rashaad Newsome, plus digital prints by Geneviève Gauckler and Rockers NYC.
For those in the New York area who would like to attend the event, there is a $45 pass available which includes round-trip transportation on a school bus from NYC to Beacon, a BBQ dinner at the gallery and a tour of D.I.A. Beacon. For more information or to reserve a spot, send an email to rsvp [at] we-are-familia [dot] com.

No Longer Empty, a new non-profit group of artists and curators, finds unused (or should we say un-leased) storefronts in Manhattan and fills them with temporary art shows. The project revitalizes empty spaces by filling them with art, situates art in the public realm and supports work that touches on the theme of this current economic situation. For an inaugural show, the old bait...
Featuring work by artists who are "altering materials and repurposing objects that prompt viewers to investigate the act of looking and perceiving," the unifying theme behind the impending group exhibition "Deviate" may be a little broad but it makes for a show that speaks to CH's penchant for the obsessively subversive. The nine artists represented take a largely conceptual approach using a diverse collection...
One of my favorite exhibits currently on view in Chelsea, "New Paintings by Lui Shtini" at Van De Weghe Fine Art serves as yet another reminder that painting, in the right hands, is far from dead. Shtini's paintings bear the precise strokes of an obsessive while his subject matter betrays the predilections of a unsettled mind. Or, perhaps not. The paintings on view, stylistically...
Just in time for the holiday season, R 20th Century Gallery in lower Manhattan has launched their first show geared toward small-scale objects. Perhaps realizing that these tough financial times make the gifting of rare vintage furniture less likely, R will be offering a wide array of objects and accessories for an equally wide variety of pocket books. Prices range anywhere from $15 to $10,000...
by Tamara Warren British contemporary furniture designer Max Lamb brings the essence of the outdoors to American turf with his solo exhibit at the Johnson Trading Gallery in New York City. Sturdy and stalwart, Lamb's work has a primal, natural and organic feel. Several of his newly commissioned pieces are made with Delaware bluestone, the blue sediment stone used in New York sidewalks which are...
In the world of contemporary photography where bigger is often better and color rules, sometimes it’s nice to see work that defies all of these conventions, but still manages to make an impact. The current show on view at Yancey Richardson Gallery by Masao Yamamoto, entitled Kawa–Flow, is a great example of this. In his intentionally stained and worn photographs, Yamamoto explores the notion...
