Juan Logan; What Do You See?
Aesthetically seductive, yet socio politically charged; confrontational yet inviting, captivating and provocative are the artworks by Juan Logan. In a recent art journey, I came across his body of work at Logan Studios and became quickly intoxicated. Unlike encountering them in a museum space, an institution or a gallery; here I found myself entranced in a different type of aesthetic journey; one that would lead me to experience an understanding which I had not encountered before. Juan Logan's body of work is fascinating; enchanting and challenging all at once, unapologetic and strong with hints of sarcasm and irony that serve to challenge the viewer into engaging with the heavy issues he addresses with every piece he produces.
Kori Newkirk
This catalogue was produced on the occasion of Kori Newkirk: 1997-2007, an exhibition presenting work created after Kori Newkirk received his MFA from the University of California at Irvine through today. Newkirk is a celebrated multimedia artist whose practice is based on transforming everyday materials into loaded signifiers making viewers think not only about concepts of African-American culture and beauty, but also of new and ever-changing ways of making art. This 128 page full-color soft-cover catalogue with sixty illustrations illuminates how the varied but interrelated strands of Newkirk¿s practice have converged and developed over time. It is the first major publication devoted to Newkirk¿s work. It includes a detailed biography and exhibition history. It features essays by Huey Copeland, Dominic Molon and Deborah Willis, and a Q+A with Newkirk and Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of The Studio Museum in Harlem. Newkirk, who was born in the Bronx, raised in Cortland, New York, and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, creates work informed by his whole life and experience.

Unsettled Visions
In Unsettled Visions, the activist, curator, and scholar Margo Machida presents a pioneering, in-depth exploration of contemporary Asian American visual art. Machida focuses on works produced during the watershed 1990s, when surging Asian immigration had significantly altered the demographic, cultural, and political contours of Asian America, and a renaissance in Asian American art and visual culture was well underway. Machida conducted extensive interviews with ten artists working during this transformative period: women and men of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese descent, most of whom migrated to the United States. In dialogue with the artists, Machida illuminate...
