James Panero Reviews Doppler Shift
Writing in The New Criterion, Panero calls Doppler Shift "a smart group show, " noting the work of "artists who interest me most these days." There's a nice shout out to Mary Birmingham, the curator; to Mel Prest, who originated the concept; and to me, among others. Click pic for the review
"Textility," curated by Mary Birmingham and myself for the Visual Art Center of New Jersey, Summit (where Birmingham is the chief curator), looked at contemporary painting, sculpture and work on paper in which textile elements were referenced or employed. The exhibition is over, but you can see this exhibition on line. Click on the links below to read and see more.

Coolness, Joanne! Congratulations!!
I'm going to see if I can add political stuff to my sidebar on WordPress. It's a little tricky but I think I can do it. I applaud your stands on the issues, which I think are the most important ones we've ever faced.
Hey, thanks everyone!
Art blogging is a funny thing. I find it an interesting juggle to cover the exhibitions and artists whose work interests me, to focus on geometry and color, and to keep my own work visible. Now, of course, we have the campaign. With so much at stake, not taking a stand is just not an option. (I look forward to posting a pic of President Obama with one word: Victory.
. Martha, I'm glad you'll inject some op ed into your blog
