"Next Post," an impressive show of 18 simultaneous solo projects by artists from Europe and America.
It grabs your attention from the moment you walk in the door. -- New York Times

Nominated by the International Association of Art Critics for Best Show In A Commercial Gallery Nationally 2009.

NEXT POST... is a foray into the next paradigm of art. Blog posts dispense with rules and manners. Jettisoning traditional brushes and technique, each artist uses space, new materials, color, and light as vocabulary of a hybrid visual vernacular. These projects are all BIG, utilizing maximum amplitude to put the potential of art to the test. NEXT POST material and light divulge facets of emotion, the oblique language of the psyche. Here postmodern ruses, wit, and theory are present not as the entirety of a gimmicky one-liner, but as icing on the cake.
