Felipe Baeza with Zoë Hopkins
Born in Guanajuato, Mexico, and raised in Chicago, Felipe Baezas practice draws on collage, printmaking, embroidery, and sculpture. Informed by queer and immigrant histories, Baezas largely figurative practice envisions what emancipation and fugitivity might look like for othered bodies. His figures are hybrid, often occupying an unfixed category somewhere between humanoid and plant-like. Situated against densely textured backgrounds, they seem to transcend place or time, breaking free from any domain that we can define or locate.

Dan Colen with Amanda Gluibizzi
This fall, the artist Dan Colen will revisit and expand upon themes that have long preoccupied him in venues as diverse as Gagosian Gallerys West 21st Street space, the Donald Judd Foundations Soho building, and United Nations Plaza. Gagosian will be displaying paintings from Colens Mother and Woodworker series, billboard-sized images that continue his exploration of ideas of home, the development of artists and artistic pursuits, and familiar cartoons as springboards to compositional questions and narratival complexity.

Graham Nickson with Jack Flam and Phong H. Bui
On the occasion of Graham Nicksons solo exhibition In Black and White at Betty Cuningham Gallery, art historian Jack Flam and Rail Publisher and Artistic Director Phong H. Bui engaged in two extended conversations with the artist about his long career as a painter and an educator. In addition to a distinguished career as an artist, Graham has been the legendary and deeply committed faculty member and Dean of the New York Studio School for thirty-four years. The following is an edited version for your reading pleasure.

Christina Quarles with Lee Ann Norman
Christina Quarless work revels in spaces filled with sensuous ambiguity and disorienting complexity. She complicates the figure through abstract gestures and patterns, forcing a longer look when reading her visual language. For Quarles, identity is three-dimensional, comprising what is seen, heard, and felt. Often in her paintings a mess of limbs, torsos, breasts, and buttocks meld and morph into and around each other, resulting in the feeling of stumbling upon someones private moments.
From the Publisher & Artistic Director
Dear Friends and Readers,
By Phong BuiAs human beings, we collectively have acknowledged that our species was given the gift of higher consciousness, a far greater ambition than the kingdoms of the animals, vegetation, and everything else that exists in our natural world (including our ability to invent machines that would replace our hand labor, even our ways of thinking, which we now can legitimately refer to as our artificial world).

On Flux
By Adriana FarmigaClean, Flux, Solder, and Heat: the order of operations for joining metals. In this process of metalworking, flux is indispensable as a chemical agent that prevents funk and oxidationthough it should not be thought of as an antioxidant, like, you know, blueberries. You wouldnt want to ingest flux: it is highly corrosive, and it can actually cause a bit of drama in your joinery if its used improperly, or without precision and purpose. But as a mediating material between a metal surface and solder, flux facilitates amalgamation, and it generally makes for better transitions in a state of heat and flow.
