Last Week

Robert Boyd


Stephanie Toppin, 2012, No. 87, acrylic on canvas

The Big Show is mostly done! Well, the show itself continues through August 11, and if you haven't seen it yet, I strongly encourage you to check it out. And next week, there will be two evenings of artist slide presentations, which should be interesting. But our reviews are done, and you can read them now:

• Paintings in the Big Show
• Craft-based work in the Big Show
• Assemblage and conceptual work in the Big Show

And in addition to that, we looked at the art of Becky Soria and did a brief round-up of news from hither and yon, including Mark Flood's encounter with Cameron Diaz.
