NEW YORK, NY.- When Iria Leino, a Finnish-born painter, died at 89, the rent on her 4,000-square-foot loft in a former knitting factory in SoHo was $650 a month. Leino lived in the same building complex from 1966 until her death of leukemia in 2022. She moved to 133 Greene St. in 1966, when the district was a rubbly artists refuge. Later, she relocated to a sixth-floor unit in the building next door. (Both cast-iron structures were combined into a single co-op, 133-137 Greene St., in the late 1970s. The entrance and current address is at 135 Greene St.) As high-fashion boutiques sprouted around her and her neighbors bought and renovated some of the most expensive property ... More |

The South Korean artist Lee Bul at her studio in Goyang City, South Korea, outside Seoul, July 5, 2024. (Jun Michael Park/The New York Times)
NEW YORK, NY.- Oh, I have another story! artist Lee Bul said, laughing, during a recent interview. Always with the stories, always with the drama. Over the past year, as she created four enigmatic sculptures that will soon grace the facade niches of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, she fell ill several times, she said. I joked that its some kind of sinbyeong, a case of a god possessing a potential shaman in Korean tradition. And then, last week, I got bitten by ... More |

Become seduced by the undercover spy-for-hire at the heart of Rachel Kushners thriller Creation Lake; ring in Sad Girl Autumn with Intermezzo, a characteristically cool Sally Rooney title about two brothers grieving their fathers death; or get swept up in the kaleidoscopic journeys of multiple narrators living in and under the ocean in Richard Powers Playground.

The Irish actress, whose credits date back to 2008, started generating heat in 2014 for her performance as a reserved young nurse in Steven Soderberghs period drama The Knick. Her turn as the eerie, emotionally unstable wife in the Netflix mini-series Behind Her Eyes, in 2021, had fans stopping her on the street. It happened again with Bad Sisters, the darkly comic Irish drama. Released in 2022 on Apple TV+, the show became a phenomenon in Dublin, Hewsons hometown, where weekly watch parties in pubs turned her into a local sensation. And in 2023, she was the talk of Sundance, when the film Flora and Son, where she plays the titular role, sold for a record-breaking $20 million to Apple TV. Yet, partly because streaming services have drama ... More Galerie Jeanne Bucher Jaeger announces 'Evi Keller: Origins'PARIS.- The gallery will present the third solo exhibition of Evi Keller. German artist Evi Keller was born in 1968 in Bad Kissingen. She lives and works in Paris. From 1989 to 1993, she studied art history at the Ludwig Maximilian University as well as photography and graphic design at the Academy of Photography, both in Munich. Her artistic approach questions the cosmic principle of the transformation of matter by light. bringing together its complexity under the term Matière-Lumière. Matière-Lumière is the only title that Evi Keller has given to her creations over the past 20 years. The fact that all life on earth is imbued with solar energy inspired the artist with a vision that unites the earth and the sun, leading them to evolve in a perpetual becoming over time. It was essential for her to draw on ... More The Air de Paris gallery exhibits around forty masks by Ingrid LuchePARIS.- The mask is the ultimate anti-object. Semiologists would use the term deictic to describe it the gesture of a finger pointing over there, somewhere else. Whether it belongs to a Greek tragedy performer, to a member of the Anonymous collective, to an immunocompromised citizen or to a Snapchat user, the mask designates something else than itself, and in so doing it also distinguishes iconophiles from iconoclasts. So, there are two options: will you believe what is represented on its illusionist surface, or will you try to take a peek behind the scenes, even if that means being at risk of succumbing to paranoia? Heads or tails, image or object: perhaps the impasse is due to wanting to stick too closely to the lost origin, to mourning some naked face. It so happens that Ingrid Luche produces masks, and her ceramic masks raise ... More |
