Harvey Silver's Changin' Times
It was an age of flagging innocence when the fabric of American society was being rended by social trauma and strife: war, racial unrest, assassinations. At the same time, though, the late 60s also brought an awakening to a new reality; an Aquarian dream may have been dying, but its spirit was evolving through art, particularly the golden music of youth. Harvey Silver was there, capturing both memorable and forgotten NYC moments through the lens of his 35-milimeter Nikkomat camera. He brings his work to EV Gallery, 621 E. 11th St., in a solo show entitled Changin’ Times that opens Dec. 3...

THE ART OF DESIGNING SENSATIONS
FASHION DESIGNER XINYUE WANG CREATES PLAYFUL AND WHIMSY CLOTHES THAT OFFER UNIQUE SENSORIAL EXPERIENCES As a child, Xinyue spent a considerable amount of time with her grandmother, a skilled tailor who ran her own studio in China, where she made cheongsams, the traditional Mandarin gown. At five years old, Xinyue had already learned how to operate a sewing machine. It was her “wonderland,” she recalls. She would collect trimmings and leftover fabrics while experimenting with vegetables and kitchen supplies to design her own creations. Her grandmother’s studio, the sensations, and the...

A new exhibition by London’s leading 3D Philosopher Jofre Hall
Spanish born multi-disciplinary artist Jofre Hall has been living in London for over a decade. Self-taught and self-styled, his latest exhibition is a multimedia response to the ongoing housing crisis in his adopted city and indeed, the world at large. His latest work asks the timely question that although it’s often said that great artists have no country, should it also be the case that they have no home? Jofre Hall lives and creates his work in an otherwise nondescript semi-detached rented house in resolutely unfashionable Tottenham. Whilst a significant percentage of art is...
