\u201cThe fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.\u201d<\/p>\n
-William Shakespeare,\u00a0As You Like It<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n Ever catch yourself thinking you\u2019ve got it all figured out? Shakespeare\u2019s words remind us that true wisdom begins with humility. In a world that rewards certainty, there\u2019s quiet strength in admitting what we don\u2019t know. It\u2019s OK to embrace curiosity, ask better questions, and make space for growth.<\/p>\n Michele Abramowitz<\/a> sat down to talk about her show,\u00a0The Intermediate Reals<\/em>, on view at Kate Werble Gallery until June 28. The title is derived from the book\u00a0Mordew<\/em><\/a> by Alex Pheby, in which magic wielders use \u201cintermediate realms\u201d in which they can create realities of their choosing, so to speak. These cognitive realms echo paintings, in a sense. To learn more, listen to the complete interview<\/a>.<\/p>\n Z.T. Nguyen<\/a> joined us to talk about his show,\u00a0Facts Are Bigger in the Dark<\/em><\/a>, which is on view until July 12 at Island Gallery. The title is a short excerpt from\u00a0Autobiography of Red<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Anne Carson. For Nguyen, this spoke to his habit of ruminating on the dark and often drawing pictures that take place in the dark. Returning to this phrase over and over again, he knew it needed to be the title for this show.
