Occupy, perceive, manipulate, and experience

By BRITTA KONAU | October 18, 2012

Experiencing Curtis's art fest is a very personal event. Everybody's response may be different, determined by the level of comfort with one's body, especially its taking up space, and by how we react to touch, spatial constrictions, or darkness. My own reactions unrelated to the spatial experience included momentary attachments of a proprietary kind and murmurs of rebellion.

As we connect with the work, our sense of displacing and traversing three-dimensional and energetic space sharpens. We physically and psychologically feel the dimensions of descent, breadth, inversion, expanse, direction, intrusion, enclosure, and capacity.

ANDY VERZOSA’S RE-THINKING AT AUCOCISCO | May 09, 2013
Owner and director Andres Verzosa is showing 13 three-day two-person shows this season. Verzosa is perfectly aware of the disappearance of hierarchy and authority that I would maintain is not only taking place in the art world, but has already happened in art criticism and publishing.

SMALL SCALE YIELDS BIG IMPACT | April 18, 2013
Medieval towns, towers and turrets, flocks of birds, and blazing fires could easily be the subjects of fairytales or kitsch. Not so in the hands of Dozier Bell, who has plunged deeply into her imagination and masterfully realized what she found there in visual terms.
