In many works, sturdy, almost sculptural nude women appear alongside children and dogs, suggesting an untamed intimacy. The rust-colored painting is Barry's interpretation of the famed Capitoline Wolf, a centuries-old sculpture depicting Romulus and Remus, the mythical twin founders of Rome who were suckled by a she-wolf after being abandoned.
"Providing access to government records, documents and data is our municipal responsibility. Embracing and preserving a comprehensive imprint of NYC histories, as representative of our many communities, is the mission of DORIS that I aim to uphold."
I'm heavily inspired by radical print design, particularly of the 70s after the birth of the Xerox, such as Shrew and OZ Magazine as well as protest banners and zines. I love the fast-paced, imperfect, tactile feeling and I try to emulate this through physically editing my work.
"Most dance studio education in the U.S. still starts with ballet and works towards recitals. But historically, hundreds of distinct dance traditions emerged from cultures around the world long before ballet became the norm in European courts."
The design elements I would use for my maximalist work takes inspiration from tarpaulin advertisements and posters you would see across Metro Manila. The visual character of these advertisements are really kitsch.
The show features pieces by participants in JASA's programs. The organization, which serves more than 40,000 older adults every year, offers art classes and creative workshops designed to bring people together while encouraging self-expression. The results will be on full display here, from paintings and textile work to other handmade pieces that reflect the artists' personal stories and styles.
Much of Instagram's video content is organized around transformation-the virtual magic of the before-and-after and clips that show cause and effect. A person makes pasta from scratch in 20 seconds via edits that compress time-intensive labor.
"These works are an exploration of the human body's elasticity and capacity to metamorphose. Informed by my own experience of pregnancy and the birth of my first child last year, these paintings are a meditation on physiological transformation and the body's underlying animalistic and mammalian nature."
Dealers like artists with established sales records because it lowers their already considerable financial exposure. Renting a gallery space in Tribeca costs anywhere between $8,000-30,000 a month on top of staff, marketing, and daily operations. With that kind of overhead, very few business owners can afford to take on the financial risk of untested artists.
I work outside, carving and shaping the stone. Outside my house, I have a table, an extension cord, and tools. It's very cold and I have to wear all my winter clothes. When it's too cold, I do the filing and finishing work inside after I shape it outside. I listen to all kinds of music. I listen to Eminem all the time; his albums are all my favorites. For drawings, I work at Kinngait Studios or at home on my kitchen table.
