...compare each piece in the show with that of a well-known artist of the contemporary canon. A still life by Barnet Rubenstein can be likened to the work of Wayne Thiebaud, or an oil-and-wax painting by David Ortins seems like a disciplined Franz Kline. Yet this exhibit demonstrates that this is precisely not the point; the works are to be judged on their own terms, within their own visual languages. If anything, the most liberating aspect of the show is its unfamiliarity. It is the experience of thinking and seeing on our feet. It is the desire...
...Days after seeing the exhibit, these people in his pictures float unbidden to the surface of my mind. Hilliard has carefully created the situations in the photo, down to the pictures on the front of the cards and the empty water bottle lying in the grass.

Gap is shifting a portion of its $500 million marketing budget away from TV to make bigger in-store statements, using devices such as interior billboards.

It just blew me away and I decided to become an artist. I wanted to exhibit at the Tate...which I have now done. It's just fantastic to have that idea when you're 15. But it seems like an almost useless thing to do, it would seem to be just for people to look at, and be great treats for people's imaginations. But I think...
Parker is already well-known in her native England: she was nominated for the Turner Prize in 1997 and had a solo show at the Serpentine Gallery in 1998. But the exhibit now showing exclusively at the ICA is Parker's first stateside museum survey. It is a mesmerizing show, covering a decade of her magical and witty work...
