More Dolby Chadwick Gallery opens an exhibition of works by Udo Nöger SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Udo Nöger's studio is exceedingly clean and fully suffused with natural light that pours in through large windows. It is perched atop a small mountain near Temecula, California, looking out to and beyond the vast Anza Borrego desert. There, the air is crystal clear. Summertime temperatures routinely top 100 degrees. From the vantage of that studio, one can sometimes see rippling optical illusions caused by the refractions of light interacting with heated air rising from the sun scorched flatland. These phenomena are called mirages —illusions that have no real connection to reality. Mirages tell us something about how tenuous our visual relationship with reality can be, especially when we substitute constructed images or other forms of second-hand information for reality itself. As always, we are reminded that we live amidst ...

More Alvaro Barrington's "My Mama Told Me You Was a Problem Bitch" explores Black identity at MASSIMODECARLO MILAN.- MASSIMODECARLO is presenting My Mama Told Me You Was a Problem Bitch, the second solo exhibition by London-based artist Alvaro Barrington in Milan.

The title My Mama Told Me You Was a Problem Bitch captures the energy of 90s rap, a genre that reshaped cultural ...
