jeffrey deitch

Jeffrey Deitch is becoming the new director at the embattled Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. Honestly, I think he is going to do very well. And his spaces in the city will be missed.

josephine halvorson

Josephine Halvorson's work intrigues me. I remember first seeing her work while in the MFA program at Columbia. Since then things have gone incredibly well for her. Her show at Monya Rowe Gallery, Clockwise from Window, closes January 16.
