It is, I am chagrined to say, easy to become disillusioned these days. Who among us has not come up against an anger at the fundamentals of others so visceral, so pulsating that it seems as though it could rip apart the very air around us, break down the agreed upon walls of society \u2013 I have seen this and I wager you have, too. The question that strikes in my heart quite often is whether this is something new or perhaps it is just something old seen with a new lens. I do not know whether this anger has always been so pointed and so prevalent or whether we simply see it now.<\/p>\n

Lila de Magalhaes<\/a> joined us to talk about her show,\u00a0Involuntary Earthling<\/em><\/a>, which ran from January 6 \u2013 February 18 at Deli. While the title carries a heaviness, indicating that we do not ask to be born and find ourselves here fighting it out, it also rings true for de Magalhaes. For her, there is a sense of trying to find a sense of home as we move through our involuntary time on the planet and a nod to the absurdity of our location in the cosmos. To hear more about this mixed media exhibition, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Victor Burgin<\/a> spoke to us about his recent show,\u00a0Photopath<\/em><\/a>, at Cristin Tierney. The show was previously installed at the Art Institute in Chicago, but by its very nature, it is entirely different in every space it occupies.\u00a0Photopath is devised of, in the artist\u2019s own words: \u201cA path along the floor, of proportions 1\u00d721 units, photographed. Photographs printed to actual size of objects and prints attached to floor so that images are perfectly congruent with their objects.\u201d To learn more about this exhibition, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
