The Sensuous Evolution of A Paulistano’s Artistic Voice
The sweeping work of young, splash-making São Paulo-based artist Dias Sardenberg mischievously bends the corners of imagistic surrealism and the mystical experience. Not allowing her audience’s psychedelic trip to stray too far into silliness, though, the artist...

Here’s how it happens: it is the first truly authentic spring afternoon of the season and I find myself immersed in the glow of New York City’s transient population. Surrounded by legions of young conference-going professionals, be-fanny-packed Midwestern doctors on family...

In today’s world of acceleration, destruction, and subtly-cloaked insanity, contradictions are fast becoming the new normative in almost any situation. To pursue dreams of media stardom and photographic fame in the age of oil spills and you-name-it crises takes both an awareness and defiance of...
