Andrzej Zielinski is a young painter who splits his time between Brooklyn and Kansas City. He has recently had solo exhibits at the Dolphin Gallery in Kansas City and DCKT Gallery in New York. Zielinski was kind enough to answer some questions for us about his work.
Please tell our readers a little bit about your background.
I was born in Kansas City and raised there. I enjoyed art when I was young but never thought of being an artist. After (more…)

Some links for the weekend
Posted in Not Painting, tagged Links on January 22, 2010| 1 Comment »
From The Edge: David Dalrymple, “Knowledge Is Out, Focus Is In and People Are Everywhere”
From Science & Creativity from Studio 360: “A Tale of Two Brains”
From Artcritical: Drew Lowenstein on “Morphological Mutiny”
A fantastic artblog I’ve been meaning to link to, Art Inconnu (sadly inactive for almost a month).
I’ve never figured out why minimal/geometric has such a strong presence in the blog-world. There’s a lot of it out there that’s thought-provoking and fun to look at. Joanne Mattera shows a lot of great stuff in that arena. Visual Discrepancies is a recent discovery.
Also, Jonah Lehrer has an article about how the brain responds to music. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to link these findings of how music works on our brains to the way that a lot of exciting minimal/geometric does.
Two Coats has more Allison Schulnik. Hello My Name is Art does too, but I think the more recent post considering influence as an aspect of art is the one to look in on.
A fantastic non-artblog, Awesome Tapes from Africa.
UPDATE: One more link, a Bronzino slideshow from the NYT.

Sarah Knobel is a photographer working in Washington DC. Her work blends a distressing Middle American adolescent ordinariness with settings and situations of glamor, fashion and fantasy. It’s a mash up that is equally funny and sad. Knobel’s most frequent subject is the self-portrait. And, even though she may appear dressed up, covered in glitter or otherwise ‘in character’, it is very possibly the inclusion of herself in the work that keeps the work from taking a cynical or satirical view of its principle elements.
In anticipation of the exhibit Playful Things (also featuring artists Magda Gluszek, Sharon Shapiro and Christina Vantzou) at the university of Central Missouri’s Gallery of Art, Sarah Knobel was kind enough to answer some questions about her work for us:
Please give our readers a little bit of information about yourself.
I was raised in Texas. I went to a Baptist private school until 8th grade. My parents moved us to a border town, Harlingen, TX . There were no private schools in the area, so I got to attend public school. I wore Nirvana t-shirts (more…)
