By Kim Power
Aron Wiesenfeld’s current exhibition, “Unwind the Winding Path” at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, invites us to travel into virgin woodlands, down rivers of unknown origin and to lie down in green pastures strewn with wildflowers. It is an imaginary and untamed [...]
Perpetual Revolution
International Center of Photography - New York
By Keren Moscovitch
According to Marxist philosopher Louis Althusser, “Ideology represents the imaginary relationship of individuals to their real conditions of existence.”1 The International Center of Photography’s prescient exhibition “Perpetual Revolution”2 reveals photography’s role in constructing, and deconstructing, these very ideologies.

Amy Schissel: #everythingthathappensatonce
Laura Mesaros Gallery, West Virginia University - Morgantown, W.V.
By Jason Hoelscher

Maccarone Gallery - New York
By Taliesin Thomas
The recent presidential election outcome has many women asking the same question: Did straight-up sexism undermine the balloting process? While the “real” ethos of the coming presidential term has yet to be fully revealed, one marked result of the election aftermath seems to be a reinvigorated discussion [...]
Blind Vision
Istituto Paolo Colosimo - Naples, Italy
Curated by Raisa Clavijo
By Paul Laster
Presenting a visual display in an educational center for the blind and visually impaired seems like a bit of a paradox, but that’s exactly what Annalaura di Luggo chose to do when she staged her exhibition “Blind Vision” at the Instituto Statale D’Istruzione [...]
