Artist Jules de Balincourt has achieved considerable recognition in the last six years since his inclusion in Greater New York at PS 1 in 2005. I love that he's still involved in his community, and his selection of artists for his Itinerant Ones show at the Storefront in Bushwick seemed like a kind

The Marie Walsh Sharpe Art Foundation's "Space Program" offers seventeen emerging artists a year's worth of studio space and a summer show in DUMBO. Here's a look.

It's difficult not to compare the Bushwick Open Studios (BOS) of two weeks ago and Northside Open Studios (NOS) this past weekend. Where BOS felt like a small, tightly knit group of art world wanderers, NOS was more dispersed; more approachable, yet also more isolated. Still, there were some great s

This Friday kicks off a pretty epic weekend in Williamsburg. Along with the Northside Festival, Northside Open Studios will showcase our neighborhood's art community, from artist's studios to gallery shows and guerrilla events. Here are our picks for what not to miss.

I love aesthetic battles and I secretly miss the war of subcultures (through style, of course) that was a staple of the late 20th C. Think mods vs punks, but in a Manhattan (ballet shoes, of course) vs. Brooklyn (sneakers, wassup) kinda way. I spotted this today and it stopped me in my tracks. Me li

Walking past Open Space Gallery's temporary space on Franklin Street I saw several anthropomorphic boxes lined against the walls, their hyper-simplicity too charming to dismiss. I walked inside where, as fortune would have it, artist Raphaela Riepl was manning the show, titled Adorable Steamed Sea U

I've already expressed my affection for apartment shows but hallway — or landing, to be more precise — shows I've been mum about … until now. This past weekend curator Martin Esteves pulled off a smart, small pop-up exhibition on a friend's landing on Dupont Street in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

In organizing Greenpoint Open Studios, I was introduced to some 160 amazing artists producing a variety of works in their studios. Painters, photographers, sculptors, video artists and performers are all sprinkled around the neighborhood, but one collective whose studios I was most charmed by is Fow

It was a beautiful day last Saturday and I took the opportunity to wander the post-industrial warehouses of north Brooklyn with the mission to explore the studios taking part in the 2010 Greenpoint Open Studios. During my afternoon of wandering I only managed to visit 30% of the studios but I, nonet

This past weekend may have artistically been notable for having three different open studio events in Brooklyn — Greenpoint, Gowanus, and Crown Heights — but it was also pretty significant because the first-ever Nuit Blanche event in New York, titled Bring to Light, took place in Greenpoint … sorry
