BY ROB REED TERRY WINTERS Cricket Music, Tessellation Figures & Notebook February 4 - April 14, 2012 Matthew Marks Gallery 522 W 22nd Street, 502 W 22nd Street The art of Terry Winters takes some time. His recent show, "Cricket Music, Tessellation Figures & Notebook," hanging at two of Matthew Marks Gallery's locations on West 22 Street, presents two separate and concurrent bodies of work - thirty small collage works at 502 and eleven large paintings at 522.

HERNAN BAS Occult Contemporary March 15 - April 21, 2012 Lehmann Maupin Gallery 540 West 26 Street "The safest road to Hell is a gradual one – the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts."  READ MORE...   ALBERT OEHLEN Albert Oehlen March 3 - April 7, 2012 Gagosian Gallery 980 Madison Avenue Standing in front of the paintings by Albert Oehlenin his first exhibition with Gagosian Gallery, several questions arise. The immediate questions are of the artist's intent. For example, what is it? READ MORE...   TOM BURR deep wood drive March 7 - April 26 Bortolami Gallery 420 W 20th Street It is unlikely that conceptual artist and sculptor Tom Burr intends much psychological comfort for the viewers of his show "deep wood drive" at Bortolami Gallery. Although the most seductive works in the show are called "Cloud Paintings", there is little airiness in the artist's mournful, self-interrogating, minimalist aesthetic to keep one's spirits light. READ MORE... Consciousness Reborn as Book: Susan Sontag's Second Journal, 1964-1980 BY DAN CALLAHAN Reborn, the first volume of Susan Sontag's posthumously published journals, offered new, albeit cryptic insights into the genesis of her heavy-going artistic personality. That first journal included fascinating scenes of Sontag's early immersion in 1940s lesbian bars, but when she marries scholar Philip Rieff, the text of Reborn abruptly cuts off personal reflection and buries itself in lists and tormented justifications.

The strawberries looked white in places. I still had two days until your actual birthday. Chocolate on chocolate you said, and I wanted to add strawberries because that had been my nickname for you since the beginning. That's what I put in my phone because your real name – Mark? Wasn't exotic, sexy or hood. READ MORE...

BY LENA VAZIFDAR New York city street fashion is a Petri dish of inspiration for designers all over the world. It's timeless,' says Natalia Yovane, a fine artist from Brooklyn known for her faint purple eye shadow, vintage sneaks and killer forehead fringe.  READ MORE... Art for the 99 Percent BY LENA VAZIFDAR The peaceful, tree lined street that leads up to New York's iconic Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) was sheltered with blooming cherry blossoms on a warm March evening.

READ MORE... BY DAN CALLAHAN CASTA DIVA: Werner Schroeter at The Museum of Modern Art During May and June, The Museum of Modern Art is presenting a near-complete retrospective of the films of Werner Schroeter, the most underground and perhaps the most influential of all the German New Wave directors of the 1970s. READ MORE... WAITING FOR WHIY: DAMSELS IN DISTRESS Whit Stillman made three very unusual films in the 1990s: Metropolitan (1990), an insider's stylized look at upper crust young people, Barcelona (1994), a deceptively small, rigorously worked-out rumination on love and friendship, and The Last Days of Disco (1998), an analysis of early 1980s club mores which cost a fair amount and wasn't a financial success.

The Occupations of Asher Edelman BY LINDA DIGUSTA Asher Edelman can be described as standing, prominently, between 2 worlds. His Wall Street career, beginning in the 1960's, in investment banking, money management and derivatives trading not only brought renown but enabled him to build significant collections of contemporary and Modern art as well as antiquities. READ MORE...   BY KATIE CERCONE When I set out to write about French painter Francois Gilot I had a lot of make-up work to do. Mostly because I have never given a hoot about Picasso or any of the other straight white patriarchs of the Western European tradition. I never had to. Along my trajectory, Art began with Judy Chicago's Menstruation Bathroom and earned its stripes when Ellen Gallagher hit Pomp-Bang. READ MORE...
