MAX WEINTRAUB ON SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF AT HUDSON GUILD GALLERY, NEW YORK

It is fitting that in an exhibition titled "Suspension of Disbelief" one of the dominant themes would be the nature of desire. After all, at the heart of our willingness as viewers to suspend disbelief is the desire to believe - that is, to be momentarily transported elsewhere and immersed in a fictional world. What is slightly more surprising about this compact exhibition, is the diversity wit...read more...

TATE MODERN STAGES FREE ARTS FESTIVAL FOR 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Tate Modern is ten on 12 May 2010. Over 45 million visitors have passed through the gallery's doors since it first opened to the public ten years ago. Tate Modern is the world's most visited gallery of modern art and is one of the UK's top three free tourist attractions.

HUGH MENDES: SAATCHI ONLINE CRITIC'S CHOICE BY BEN STREET

Hugh Mendes' paintings reproduce, in 1:1 scale, fragments from British newspapers. There's something show-offy and self-aggrandising about of the virtuosic excesses of late-seventies photorealism and contemporary photorealist paintings are too often applauded for the steady hand and superhuman patience that came into making them. Mendes' work takes...read more...

ZHIVAGO DUNCAN IN CONVERSATION WITH JOSHUA P FREYDKIS

Zhivago Duncan, whose work is part of Saatchi Online's show at the Al Bastakiya art fair in Dubai (opens 15 March) is a man of opposites. As a highly talented multi-media artist with a relentless studio practice, this 29-year old Berlin-based Syrian-Danish artist is equally inspired by American hot-rods and The Divine Comedy. Part bad boy, part sa...read more...

JERRY SALTZ ON WILLIAM POWHIDA AT THE PULSE ART FAIR, NEW YORK

Last weekend at the Pulse Art Fair, William Powhida unloaded a great big art-world stink bomb.

This time, he let fly from th...read more...

ANTHONY HADEN-GUEST'S NEW YORK DIARY

When there is a plethora of fairs and openings, you become aware of changes. One was a vastly diminished video art quotient. So sad! Right? Another was that the surge of word art seems to be increasing. At first I put this down to the waning of literary magazines and the poverty of outlets for verbal energy but I don't think the influence of the st...read more...

AV FESTIVAL 10 : ENERGY

Artypete

Like any festival it is a mixed bag,
everything from windmills with poems

soundscapes. Potentially there is an
issue to do with a festival of AV, it
brings together lots of things that
are conceptually unrelated, but
overall it seemed to work.
