Leslie Hewitt’s solo exhibition at the Kitchen consists of photographs from three different bodies of work, and a two-channel video piece. All the works have been made since 2008. The exhibition is curated by Rashida Bumbray.
Looking at Hewitt’s photographs is a fascinating encounter with the problem of reading. They are, first of all, beautifully made. [...]
Anne Collier’s solo exhibition at Anton Kern Gallery consists of 13 large c-prints in the main gallery and a slide show work in the rear space. It is clean and focused, and it brings together examples of the different kinds of images she has produced in recent years, including album covers, open books, developing trays, [...]

While Shannon Ebner’s impressive current exhibition at Wallspace, Invisible Language Workshop, stands as a fascinating document in its own right, it is more richly appreciated against the backdrop of her recent book, The Sun as Error, published this year by the LA County Museum of Art. The two projects are complementary, in that they share [...]

Liz Deschenes’ austere new exhibition blends photographic convention and experiment, sculptural form, and architecture. The exhibition title, “Tilt / Swing,” takes its name from the movements of the camera lenses used in architectural photography. Deschenes turns the language back on itself with a large six-panel work, itself titled Tilt/Swing, creating a piece that imposes optical [...]
In Matt Sheridan Smith’s current solo show at Lisa Cooley Fine Art, “Blanks, Templates, Undos, Redos,” the artist presents a group of works generated, in one way or another, from the logic of standard sizes and automated processes. The exhibition exploits the promise of some mythical, undifferentiated potential that is built into every artist’s encounter [...]

Both these adjectives indicate a growing assuredness in the artist’s ability to focus his method [...]
