No one night dominates this week; rather, a solid week with events spread out fairly evenly. A few shows including Dan Miller at Ricco Maresca look particularly interesting. Miller was diagnosed with autism and uses language as a starting point for his forms -- the brushwork looks quite amazing with some similarity to Giacometti's later paintings.

Artcards Review has gained new life recently with more great imagery and detailed analysis:
- Language and Object-hood, MIN. at Regina Rex by Ben Walder
- The 2010 Berlin Biennale and A New Digital Landscape @US Library of Congress by Helen Wu
- Park Avenue Armory -- Half Empty or Half Full? by Brent Birnbaum
- A Marvelous, Ordinary World by Peter Neofotis

Hope to see you out at the shows!

Tuesday:

+ Alexis Duque, Blanka Amezkua, Carol Warner, Carolina Caycedo, Chemi Rosado, David Antonio Cruz, GhostNet, Grimanesa Amoros, Helen Dennis, Isidro Blasco, Lina Puerta, Manny Vega, Marela Zacarias, Mequitta Ahuja, Myritza Castillo, Olek "Weaving In & Out" curated by Ella Levitt, Jodie Dinapoli, Manon Slome, Trinidad Fombella at No Longer Empty (Tapestry)
