  • KRYSTEN CUNNINGHAM in The New Yorker

    GALLERIES—DOWNTOWN

    KRYSTEN CUNNINGHAM

    What this tiny Lower East Side space—billed as an office as opposed to a gallery—lacks in square footage it more than makes up for in curatorial impact, under the keen direction of Howie Chen and Gabrielle Giattino. Their latest show introduces New York to a promising young sculptor from Los Angeles whose shelf-mounted arrangements interlace low-fi haptics (felt, hand-dyed from oak bark) and high-tech theories (a digital rendering of four-dimensional space) with hints of spiritual mysteries. The healing...   read more

    Through Dec. 13

    Krysten Cunningham has worked as a technician in a physics lab at the University of California, Los Angeles, for eight years, building generators and other scientific objects. Some of the lab’s materials find their way into her sculpture, where they link up with Bauhaus art and hippie craft. It’s a promising equation, to judge from her first New York solo show at the...   read more

  • BRAD EBERHARD exhibition review in Los Angeles Times

    Art review: Brad Eberhard at Thomas Solomon Gallery

    October 23, 2009

    Crossing boundaries has been such a staple of Modern art for so long that it has produced a slew of academic works whose sole purpose is to pass as something else. Paintings pretend to be sculptures, videos masquerade as installations and photographs pose as paintings.

    It’s far more interesting when works are so peculiar that they make you forget about categories altogether; instead, you get so caught up in their details that they become worlds unto themselves —...   read more

    "ENDLESS SUMMER"
    by Lara Taubman for artnet.com magazine
    October 15, 2009

    Also in Chinatown, at Cottage Home, the Thomas Solomon Gallery presented its debut solo show of works by L.A. artist Analia Saban (1980), whose goal, the gallery says, is to "debunk the mysteries of contemporary art." To this end, Saban makes paintings of ordinary subjects -- a vase of flowers, say -- but visually dismantles the image by presenting and combining the layers (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) used in four-color printing. As a result, her works float between the exploratory...   read more
