Review-Rio de JaneiroInside, Outside, and the Space in Between
By Ted G. Decker
"Entering and passing through the exhibition space, one feels a floating, disorienting sensation while embarking on an exploratory voyage to discover Lopes’ own life cube…both inside and out…in the gallery he has transformed into a virtual multi-dimensional sketch book and studio. A voyeuristic feeling is evoked by the opportunity to gaze at intimate evidence of drawings, exploratory ideas, landscapes of triumph and loss, and fresh aspirations."
Profile-Phoenix
Claudio Dicochea's Fotonovela
By Scott Andrews"Dicochea is a trickster, like Coyote, and not unaware of the beneficial effect of a bad example, nor averse to using sleight of hand for shock effect. The Anglo/Latino pairings in his painting may tempt you to fall back on stereotypes of privilege and poverty, but look again carefully—he’s having none of it."
Public Art
"Because temporary public art is nimble, it can accommodate grounding projects in rapidly changing social consciousness. The fact that it is temporary both challenges and underscores our notions of sustainability: It is not the art piece itself that persists, but the content." |

"To imagine the place in which our town lives, go find an image of some industrial site in a former-Soviet satellite country. Now make that slightly shinier. We are truly a scientific utopia. Although most of the people that live there are just random bystanders. The kind of people who don't really plan for anything, not out of laziness but simple denial of any impending occurrences. So they're not incompetent but simply too normal. Please show some desire in the future, is what we say to them."
