- Word From The Publisher
In this month's issue, we have expanded our editorial content to include
in-depth reviews of music and books; in addition to the critical writing
that readers have come to expect with regard to coverage of the traditional
visual arts; gallery and museum exhibitions, as well as film.
If you are a regular reader, then you know that the simple philosophy of our
magazine is to brings readers, like you, the essentials of today's art
world, without too much baggage. Information has value, after all, only when
people can find it when they need it. In M you have a seamless integration
of news, editorial content, art listings and even city maps - all in one
clean format. Moreover, the monthly magazine's web site,
TheNewYorkArtWorld.com further integrates "all you need to know" into an
easy-to-navigate internet environment.
I think it is important, however, that as a news oriented magazine, we not
only provide information to readers; but also listen to what readers have to
say. Feel free to share your ideas, opinions and feedback with us by sending
a letter to the editor at: letters@TheNewYorkArtWorld.com
Questions & Answers
What is the difference between M / The New York Art World® and other "art
guides"?
The New York Art World® much more than a guide; it is a full-fledged
magazine. This means that, in addition to offering comprehensive monthly art
listings, our magazine maintains a professional editorial staff of art
journalists who write concise news analysis; including art, film, music and
book reviews, as well as interviews and international reportage in each
issue.
Why would galleries pay for a listing in The New York Art World® when they
may already be listed in other publications?
Our magazine's built-in listings guide is superior to other guides, in terms
of its professional focus and accuracy. Art journalists know this. When
looking for news and exhibitions to write about, one of the first places
that our writers turn to (and art journalists from other news media as well)
is the listings guide that is found right here in The New York Art World®.
To be listed here places your gallery on an equal footing with the most
important art institutions in today's art world.
Where can I find a copy of M?
At the start of each month, over 450 galleries, museums and cultural centers
throughout New York receive from 25 to 200 copies of The New York Art World®
for their visitors and clientele.

magazine is also available at fine art bookstores and by subscription.
Beyond New York, the magazine is distributed at major international art
fairs around the world. These include, among others, Art Basel

York); Artissima (Italy); Art Brussels (Belgium); Muestra (Mexico); AIPAD,

ANA PATRICIA PALACIOS, Latincollector: In her first solo show in New York, Colombian-born painter Ana Patricia Palacios addresses the theme of identity within the confines of duality. There is a particular autobiographical element here; Ms. Palacios is an identical twin. Apparent similitude is a natural topic for this artist, whose examination of such themes is closely bound to her experience as a mirror image of another human being.

Beautiful Recession, Red Dot: This diverse group exhibition offers an unofficial survey of different approaches to creating an image; from figurative to abstract, and incorporating painting, printmaking, photography, and mixed/new media.
Standouts include Jim Dingilian's smoke on silver-plated trays which recall Tony Oursler's projections on mist that depend upon light interacting with air and vapor to create an ephemeral image.

A Modern Definition of Space: Calder Sculpture, Van de Weghe Fine Art: Before the prevalent discussions of gender and identity, before linguistic iconography, indeed at a time when art focused more on issues directly pertinent to the visual than the psycho-social nitty-gritty, there was Alexander Calder (1898-1976). With impressive sculptural works that move through space (mobiles), and open structures that articulate spatial dimension

City Mouse / Country Mouse, Space 101: This ambitious group exhibition examines two equally strong currents in contemporary art, as practiced by some of today's most promising emerging artists. The tongue-in-cheek premise of the show distinguishes artists who stem from the romantic idealization of country life, with its edgy pastoral utopias and feral realities, from those whose examination of the urban terrain informs their work.

MARGARET BOURKE-WHITE, The Phillips Collection, Washington D.C.: Viewers familiar with Margaret Bourke-White's compassionate Depression-era Dust Bowl pictures and her straightforward photographic narratives as a World War II war correspondent will be surprised to see these photographs from the first decade of her career. These images chronicle industrial machinery; but not as the clanging workhorses they are. Rather, Bourke-White reconstitutes them as elegant designs in artful compositions.

A Report from Paris, Loevenbruck Gallery, Darthea Speyer Gallery, Lara Vincy Gallery, Paris, France: Saint-Germain-des-Prés has always been a very important spot for art and intellectual life in Paris, frequented by students of the School of Beaux-Arts and gentry people of the neighborhood. The rich past of the area (jazz clubs and little cafes where Sartre and Beauvoir passed the time of day) attract many tourists, and the area supports a thriving antiques market. Lately, the settlement of young galleries has rejuvenated the art scene here.

- Art Review
Angelina Nasso, Stefan Stux Gallery :
Angelina Nasso's paintings are like momentary visions of vague familiarity that imply without literally stating the oft forgotten moments between what we know and what we feel, that which comprises the hazy fog of remembrance.
The poetry inherent in these works is offset by the brilliance of brittle colors, such as hot fuschia and emerald green, luscious colors that give the works an acute edge. It is offset as well by the polished, smooth surfaces, shiny as glass. They become like mirrors that almost (and perhaps intentionally) reflect the essential core of experience.

The Armory Show, March 7-10, 2003:
Nothing about the 2003 Armory Show has been left to chance; this is a world class art event with global participants who converge here for one reason: to promote and promulgate new art. Three piers situated on Manhattan�s West Side, stretching out into the Hudson River, are booked to capacity, setting the stage for 175 select international galleries to exhibit intriguing, provocative art in every imaginable shape, size and form; camaraderie, energy, and ambitious expectations abound. This show has certainly come a long way since its modest inception as an alternative to the

Ellen von Unwerth, Twin Palms Publishers. Exhibition at Staley-Wise Gallery:
Drawing on a resume that includes working in a circus as "assistant to the knife thrower" and moving on to fashion modeling and art photography, von Unwerth appears uniquely qualified to create this meticulously produced hard cover photography book that tells, in pictures and tongue-in-cheek text, the sadomasochistic tale of three stunningly attractive women who set out on a weekend of fun in the country; at the Baroness's estate. Here we meet the big B, her chauffeur and a "stablehand" - all of whom share an affinity for whips, chains, ropes, masks and assorted hardware.

- Music Review
Marc-André Dalbavie, Peter B. Lewis Theater at the Guggenheim Museum :
There is a tendency among even an informed public to regard classical music as a known (and therefore unchanging) quantity; like an old library book that is dusted off from time to time, but always returned to its familiar place on the shelf. The idea that a new and exciting composer might come along to challenge our perception of music, in this regard, would seem remote. Marc-André Dalbavie is clearly the exception.
