like Chie gets a nod from Two Coats for constructDEconstruct at AIR in their newest NY gallery guide. Born of the interplay between solitary workings in her studio, the push-pull of her personal life, and the ongoing turmoil of the outside world, Dubinsky’s new work combines maps and silhouetted figures with abstract shapes created by flattened boxes using painting, printmaking, alternative photography, and sculpture on paper and metal.

is an artist working in Boston and a Fine Arts Assistant Professor at Brandeis University. A through-line in her practice is the artist’s investigation into the ways that language is learned, shared, and adapted through processes of fragmentation and multiplicity. She was recently in Between Pixel and Pigment with Jacqueline and others.

Antunes’ practice provides a unique contemplation on modern art, architecture and design through a reinterpretation of sculpture in a given space. Inspired by important figures in the realm of creation in the 20th century, and often influenced by female protagonists, her work begins by measuring features of architecture and design that interest her. She then uses these measurements as units which can be translated into sculpture.Embracing traditional craftsmanship from around the world, she employs materials such as rope, leather, cork, wood, brass, and rubber to create unusual forms.

Jesús was a pioneer of the idea that a viewer could actually walk into an artwork and experience it from the inside, something we now take for granted, but which was revolutionary in its time. Born in Venezuela, it was in Paris in the 1950s that he immersed himself in the movements that were transforming Geometric Abstraction by using effects of motion and movement to bring artworks to life: literally, as in Kinetic Art, or metaphorically, as in Op Art, in which paintings or sculptures appear to be moving due to visual trickery. His works were realized on increasingly grand scales, so that eventually viewers could move within and throughout his vast sculptural forms. This made his work perfect for realization as grand public art, and so his legacy is visible across many cityscapes today.

I bought a back issue of Art Papers recently that featured an image of Paul’s work to highlight Geane Moreno’s essay about erotic abstraction “Pushing into Darkness” (which I can’t find a link for anywhere in the internet) that also gives Ernesto a nod.

whose work investigates the ways in which material is transmitted, utilized, and preserved, is one one of many artists included in Painting Deconstructed (some of whom you’ve read about here- Rachel, Mark and Yevgeniya to name a few) at Ortega y Gasset.

Generative relationships between luminous color and ephemeral form propel Lindsay Packer’s site-responsive work in performance, installation, film and video, photography and streaming media. She plays with the call and response of color and light, form and site, engaging an analog/digital continuum of shifting chroma and temporary geometries in which color and form are inseparable. She’s included in Bluets and Blue along with Erika and others.

took a turn earlier this year in his ceramics practice (which is normally vessels) to present Now is Nowhere Else at Gerald Peters. The intentional development of a process that merged chance and choice caught my interest, and I love his thesis that “the strength of the total sum of the bricks depends solely on the richness and individualism of each single unit.”

is one of 7 artists that Artsy says stand out at this summer’s Venice Biennale (granted this is a posthumous honor in their case). Samia also gets a nod btw.
