Kamrooz Aram is showing with Perry Rubenstein

Valerie Haggerty will be showing in an upcoming Brooklyun Museum show

Marcia Kuré

Marcia Kuré received attention in Artforum's top December Best Of 2007 listings. Kuré's métier is drawing, and she draws with ease and authority using the brownish pigment of the kola nut. Here she showed a group of works titled "Vogue Series." But there is nothing remotely indebted to fashion in her solitary anthropomorphs, posed like sentinels from an era of repressed decorum, sometimes accompanied by allegorical beasts.

Olafur Eliasson's Waterfalls will take over the East River this summer.

			Matthew Brannon Utilising the aesthetics of graphic art, Matthew Brannon’s work explores the gulf between social ideals and personal crisis. Using screen printing as form of analogue reproduction, Brannon’s images carry both the suggestion of mass replication and aura of original artworks. Directly challenging the void between language and actuality, Brannon often combines text and image to illustrate the potential for dysfunction. In Police Officer Giving Up, Brannon juxtaposes a neutral symbol of a houseplant with a statement of desperation. Exuding the inadequate sentiment of greeting cards, Brannon offers decoration as a feeble mask for emotional depletion. *Alison Fox* On March 6, 2005, NEW YORK MAGAZINE published a fascinating article on the New York art world. "It takes more than money to buy a hot piece of art" The article mentions young artists like Alison Fox at ATM gallery. click here for a transcript of the article. Aya Uekawa Aya Uekawa shows with Kravets\|Wehby gallery. These images are from her series: A Team Player Candidate (Acrylic on Canvas). Adia Millett: Pre-Fabricated Innocence Adia is with Mixed Greens Gallery in New York.
