Annette Hur

Two Coats has words about Annette’s solo show “Watching from the Other Side” at Hesse Flatow in Chelsea, where “elegant shapes shine through dappled light and leaves. Oils blur, drip, or dive across the surface at wild angles. But discolorations and deformations suggest that something is unresolved, something is in process.”

HJ Bott

Hyperallergic says the Houston artist conveys a restless, open, and experimental temperament that is in dialogue with his better-known contemporaries.

Also, “damndazzled Generalizing specificity” (below) is an awesome title.

Not a lot I could say about Anish that hasn’t already been said other than it’s surprising I’m just getting to blogging about him (realized he was missing when writing about Point of Departure which features him alongside Mavis and Tony and Donald and others).

Mavis Pusey

In 1946, eighteen-year-old Mavis Pusey moved to New York from Jamaica to study at the Traphagen School of Fashion and, later, at the Art Students League. By 1969, she had worked in London as a patternmaker for Singer for nearly a decade. She then returned to New York to work at Robert Blackburn’s printmaking workshop—an important collaborative studio where artists were encouraged to experiment and freely exchange ideas.
