Museum and Gallery Listings
New York Times – Jul 20, 2007
Crammed into a gallery that feels like an obstacle course this exhibition spans 43 years with 25 paintings reliefs drawings and architectural models all with the goal of tracing an evolution that has not yet occurred. Taking up most of the space are enlarged versions of models that are considered sculptures and that look as if they date from the early 1960s. The main draws are the examples of the paintings and reliefs that are the basis of Mr. Stella’s importance as an artist… The work of this Italian-born artist who is based in New York seduces the eye while also upending most notions of what exactly constitutes a painting how it should be made and by whom. His favored materials include carpet and Styrofoam as well as paint on canvas. His style swings between abstract purity and Photo Realism. His grandly spare survey has a mirrored floor and a foil-covered room lighted by a crystal chandelier that visitors may mark on and that he may or may not later appropriate as a painting. As enthralling as it is perturbing his work combines beauty humor and a democratic slant with a rigorous sense of economy. It also forms one of the best-looking exhibitions lately seen at the Whitney.

Denver artist Roland Bernier’s wordplay at gallery
Denver Post – Jul 20, 2007
(Photo courtesy of Walker Fine Art)This show is also important because it represents another milestone in the growing standing and reach of this Golden Triangle gallery. More than just a selection of the artist’s latest works this ambitious offering makes a larger contribution to the city’s art history. Bobbi Walker and her staff also deserve credit for a good job of curating. Bernier is up and down when it comes to the quality of his work and they managed to avoid most of the misses and focus on works that show him off at his best. An unfortunate exception is “Nailed” a 2005 work from a series titled “The Word Represented.

It takes a moment before you begin to notice the less colorful but certainly no-less-interesting pieces in the show aptly named “Treasures of the Cantor. Drawn from the gallery’s growing permanent collection the 35 pieces in the show range from intriguing small models by illustrious French sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840 1917) to a stunning vertically striped oil-on-linen abstract painting by Adrienne Farb completed in 2004. Pieces by artists who live in the area a painting and a drawing by Terri Priest and photographs by Timothy A. Johnson ably represent the best Worcester talent.
Spare Times: For Children
New York Times – Jul 20, 2007
That’s the image likely to be lingering in your mind long after seeing this lively comedy from Tada! Youth Theater. It first appears in the form of a large blue circle on a white canvas a forgery of a modernist masterpiece and the criminal evidence that sets this musical mystery in motion. But the invisible bull’s-eyes are just as memorable: those on art-world pretension; on news-media pretension; on celebrity pretension; on pretension period. The show aims at many targets and hits them neatly. Jim Colleran the author has set his hourlong romp in Littletown a surprisingly cultured hamlet that’s home to the Cosmopolitan Museum of Art… include feedings sea-lion crafts storytelling and a sea-lion barking contest (for humans not sea lions).

That’s not unusual at Carnoustieexcept the winding stream shouldn’t come into play until the finalhole not the first one. It was that far left. He dropped the club right after impact and watched the ball sailover the gallery hop along the turf and disappear into the burnand out-of-bounds putting two strokes on his card before he put aball in play. “It was such a poor shot because the commitment wasn’t there”said Woods who made double bogey on his way to a 3-over 74 thatleft him seven shots behind in his quest to become the first playerin 51 years to win the claret jug three straight times. “Still not out of it” Woods said even though 18 playersseparated him from the top of the leaderboard.

More food for thought? A fourth disc includes a new documentary that examines the Teshigahara-Abe partnership and four short films by the director. ? Craig Shapiro ?CHANCER: SERIES 1? Full-screen 1990 not rated but look out for mature themes some drug use and violence Best extra: Includes a photo gallery cast bios but nothing to get excited about. DASHING BRIT CLIVE WEN got his start on this neo-noir British TV series available now in a 4-disc 13-episode set. It caused quite a ruckus when he left the popular show to make movies much like when David Caruso left ?NYPD Blue. ?
