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.

Miami Nice from Artcritical
December 2, 2011: “ . . . stand-out exhibits at Aqua included . . . the funky abstractionist stable of Conrad Wilde Gallery of Tucson, Arizona, amongst them the sensual encaustic monochromes of Joanne Mattera and the biomorphic reliefs of Ruth Hiller."--David Cohen, artcritical.com.

I see the cut out and folded canvas in front of the Hugo Lugo slashed painting-- has it been placed in a plexi box? So which one is art? Or is it the looseleaf paper painting on the wall next to the Lugo? Almost seems like an add on to your trash-or-art post.
Joanne, I'm really enjoying your coverage of ABMB and feeling the holiday spirit, am going right to PayPal to show my appreciation !! Happy Holidays!!
Jane
Jane: you made my holiday a little bit brighter. Thank you.
Tamar: The top painting is a "trump loy," as a student once described the genre. That slashed painting is actually a whole painting, rendered to appear as if the strainers are showing. But you are most observant in seeing a painting in the plexi box. It's called "Tercer paisaje robado"--Third Stolen Landscape. A doubletake on the doubletake.
Thank you Joanne for your very thorough and wonderful capture of the Fairs in Miami.
I was only there for two days and missed so much, but looking at your pictures help remind me of some of what I did see and helps me to know much more of what was going on.
Thanks for the peek into the shows, Joan. I wish I could have made it there myself, so your posts are very much appreciated! Great job....as always.
