The most compelling and complex art often raises questions of authorship and appropriation, sometimes questioning the very nature of subjectivity itself. Lisa Yuskavage has long pursued these kinds of themes in her paintings and sculptural works, and her ninth exhibition at David Zwirner reiterates her unique vision.

It is no secret that the living world is dying all around us: Our own human species successfully eliminates between 24 to 273 other species per day. These numbers are quite sobering, especially in the face of shifting weather patterns brought on by global warming. I would argue that Naida Osline, whose radiant photographs are now on view at MOAH (Lancaster Museum of Art and History), could be described as a renegade visual historian, or at the very least an archivist for the end of days.

I think at this point in our human evolution most of us would agree that we have far surpassed the tipping point of our own annihilation, participating far more than we would ever care to admit in the decimation of our own species and the creatures that populate this planet.

It’s not the blue of melancholia, nor is it the blue of frigid, icy waters surrounding some lovely Scandinavian fiord, nor is it the Muddy Waters kinda blues where somehow that wild and necessary music determines the arc of one’s life and experience. It’s a kind of blue that has never been described and to which I have become accustomed (not, as some haters might say, afflicted)—I got me a serious case of the Biden Blues.

Bill Clinton leads with his nose— always has and always will. Not that his nose really minds being the center of attention—the first one to enter a room or the first one to greet the onslaught of cameras as the press push closer in for another, better money shot of the “great proboscis.” Some (Pejoratively) refer to his nose as Rudolph (as in the famed Reindeer) because his nose is almost always red.

“Free Fall,” Rochelle Botello’s solo exhibition at the Bakersfield Museum of Art, affords an incredibly rich and evocative visual experience. Botello’s organic and sometimes strangely discomfiting sculptures suggest an amalgam of associations; looking at these works, one feels that they could have been made by a wise old alien or, alternately, a wondrously imaginative child. Botello utilizes her materials in new and unexpected ways, suggesting oddly satisfying connections.

Before you, Teddy, there were no clever names for the president’s house, folks calling it The President’s Palace and the Executive Mansion—neither of which has any real descriptive character. Then you came along, the Trustbuster, the sickly boy who made good on his father’s suggestion to engage in more physical activities, including rowing and boxing. So, it’s safe to say that you transformed from a dark horse to a gleaming white steed in the span of only a few short years.

The story is legendary, and one would think where money is concerned, or even mentioned at all, one would find a swath of olive-green bills stacked high on the president’s desk, but The Buck Stops Here sign was in fact not green at all, but mahogany! This is a little-known fact, and probably a well-guarded secret in some elitist circles, but the famous sign, made by the Federal Reformatory at El Reno, Oklahoma, and ordered by Fred A.

The Marilyn Nance exhibition at Roberts Projects beautifully demonstrates the phenomenon known as six degrees of separation—the idea that all people are six or fewer connections away from each other. Nance was 21 when she was chosen to be the United States’ official photographer of the historic Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC’77), an event modeled after the Olympics in breadth and scope.
