in - attic : Stephanie Sin and Damon Tong
Sin Sin Fine Art, Annex -
Hong Kong, HK Hong Kong
 Sin Sin Fine Art, Annex in Hong Kong will show Stephanie Sin and Damon Tong - in - attic from January 8 through February 21, 2009. "In recent years art creation with social issues coupled with government's expectations on creative industry and West Kowloon have again attracted the attention of the media. However, "Installation Art" in the mid 90s and the trend of "Art Space" that followed reflect that the artistic trend has turned from pure aesthetics to humanist concerns about the society. Thus recent local development and changes in painting could only be reflected in the art gallery exhibitions rendering the art galleries a new space for the release of paintings apart from the "Art Space". - Jeff Leung Read Indepth Article

Bryan Collins: Bloom
First Street Gallery -
New York, NY USA United States of America
 First Street Gallery in New York presents Bryan Collins a solo exhibition entitled "Bloom". The exhibition opened January 6, 2009 and continues through January 31, 2009. Collins comments, "I paint in watercolor. It's where I began as a child. When I think I have gained some expertise, I am reminded of how deep the waters can be. So you might say I'm a perpetual beginner." First Street Gallery a New York non-profit, provides opportunities for both member and non-member artists to exhibit, through juried shows and other exhibitions; presents special exhibitions to engage local residents who in the past may have had little exposure to the arts community of New York; and presents programs to enhance the art-viewing experience for art students and other members of the public, through discussion of artists' work during exhibitions.

Ellen Fisch's Architectural Vision
Michael Corbin
Ellen Fisch is a fantastic photographer who lives on Long Island, New York. She wrote me a very nice email about my first book, "Art In King Size Beds: A Collector's Journal." Since then, we've become friends and she is one of the best storytellers I've ever met. That's because she has lived a rich life. As of this writing, she's opening a new exhibition called, "Architectural Visions" on Tuesday, January 6, 2009 at the Jadite Galleries in New York City. She told me that her show, which celebrates photography, architecture, the work of artisans and her own architectural vision, brings her full circle. Check out her website at www.ellenfisch.com and then read our conversation and find out why...
