In a series of symbiotic encounters and parasitic relationships, the solo presentations are often interrupted by incongruous presences or perturbed by unusual juxtapositions: drawings by Kara Walker surround a tomb by Urs Fischer; Maurizio Cattelan's homeless man kneels down in front of Kiki Smith's Bat Woman; Robert Gober's haunted rooms incorporate Gregor Schneider's architectural fragments, etc....

Loris Gerard, 2009 From the time Marcel Duchamp created his " Boite en Valise" in 1936, boxes seem to be an endless subject of inspiration for modern artists. Not only are boxes everywhere from the supermarket to the office but their square lines and their volume can be filled by all the treasures of one's imagination. The door to art is wide open. Marcel Duchamp, Boite en Valise, 1936 Steve...

The biggest reason that I went to see (Untitled) is Adam Goldberg. It's promoted as a satiric look at the avant-garde art world, it got mixed reviews, and it's only playing at the Angelika, one of my least favorite...

Here's a pop quiz: Which 20th century artist had the first solo exhibition at New York's Museum of Modern Art? If you guessed any big-name artist from Europe, you'd be wrong. But you certainly could be forgiven. MOMA's long-established (and...

Street-installation artist Mark Jenkins uses unlikely juxtapositions to shake people loose from their day-to-day expectations. The streets of world cities aren’t just the backdrop for Mark Jenkins’ sculptural interventions; they’re also an integral part of the work itself. His clear-tape and more realistic mixed-media sculptures of animals, babies, and scraggly, Robert Gober-esque...

While I appreciate his advice overall and recognize the reality of the few items I find objectionable, it is hard to imagine Mr. Polsky offering a couple of his suggestions...
