Dreamy Cuban works and dreamy Caleb Weintraub works at Projects Gallery
Spooky, dreamy imagery focused on the body spans the walls in the big group show, Estamos Aqui, at Projects Gallery. The exhibit rounds up artists of the Cuban diaspora, and demonstrates the island-born artists’ continuing fascination with body as vessel; vessels as conduits for escape to spiritual realms; and spirit realms as present and necessary.
Caleb Weintraub interview at mwcapacity blog
Libby and I were in Projects Gallery the other day and saw some new work by Caleb Weintraub, a favorite artist of ours (who had a show at Projects in 2006). That reminded me I want to pass on a couple links to a great, hot-off-the-presses interview with Weintraub by Christopher Lowrance of mwcapacity blog. Part 1 and Part 2. I know that Weintraub lives in Bloomington, Indiana and I asked Lowrance whether he was in Bloomington as well (the interview is by email so he could be anywhere).

No way do the computer images do the job of communicating the experience of a Caleb Weintraub painting, with their slippery paint textures, their lumps and bumps, their beads and buttons and boas. I know Roberta already wrote about Weintraub’s exhibit, “…with the bathwater,” at Projects Gallery, in the Weekly update, but the exhibit is up for another month–and well I just couldn’t help myself. You should get there. We went to Projects ... More » »
Weekly Update – Heat in the galleries
This week’s Weekly has my essay dealing with emotional heat in some local art. Below is the copy and here’s the link to the art page. For more pictures of these shows check my flickr sites for Saving Faces, for Caleb Weintraub and Mauro Zamora, and the ICA. Libby has some good shots of the ICA show here. Heat and Why It MattersTaking posterity head on. Kara Walker’s cut paper and projected light piece in Fables at ICA. In today’s global art scene—where a Malaysian artist making abstract paintings in Brooklyn can show work in a Philadelphia gallery—it’s hard to ... More » »
