Dangerous Women a Summer Group Exhibition
DFN Gallery -
New York, NY USA United States of America
 DFN Gallery is pleased to present our summer group exhibition, Dangerous Women, inspired by the Rafael Perez series of the same name, featuring paintings, videos and mixed media images by 18 contemporary artists.
Although it sounds like the lurid title of a Jim Thompson crime novel, Dangerous Women is curated within the tradition of female figure painting, photography and cinema - where even the tamest representation of the female form can be a loaded image. While a few of the images exhibited are more obviously "dangerous" or risqué as in Alyssa Monk's Press, or Heather Morgan‚s Hello Kitty, none are passive and most run askew if not counter, to the literal meaning of dangerous women.

The exhibition runs from July 24 to August 29, 2008 at Exit Art in New York. Read Indepth Article

Artblogs - Art Blogs: 
Actors as Artists
Michael Corbin, USA
Sometimes summer afternoons aren't meant for lounging outdoors - they're occasionally better spent finding artful surprises in bookstores.
Such was the case on this day, an unremarkable one until my wandering eye locked onto something of promising note. A book. By the way, most people would agree that they venture into bookstores seeking books. After my experience today, I must say that I disagree. People shop in bookstores because they crave surprises. Yes, in all likelihood, the thing you've been looking for will indeed be a book, but is it the book or the thrill of surprise that has you hooked? Hmm. Mystery and philosophy. Do questions never cease?
Anyway, as my gaze ventured down the frittering possibilities among the art book shelf, suddenly a love connection. I saw the book "Actors As Artists. "Hmm, I thought. "Let's take a look. What a nice surprise.
