Looking Forward to Tomorrow: An Online Interview with Yuko Nishikawa

Artist Yuko Nishikawa's work creates colorful and fantastical imagery. What can be glimpsed behind her works are her broad experiences in architecture, interior design, and crafts. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York in 2002 and working as an interior designer, she began her career as a designer and artist in 2018.

The (Remarkable) Lightness of Being: Yuko Nishikawa as part of a group exhibition at the Onna House, East Hampton, New York.

I met Yuko by accident, but that's not to say that I didn't want to meet her. I went to see a friend, then suddenly got caught up in one of her dreamy galactic asteroid installations, where she happened to be present. My buddy, sculptor Fitzhugh Karol, is one of the co-founders of The Brooklyn Home Company, which fosters big ideas for artists on their yet-to-be-sold properties.

Meddling in the Middle: Breakfast with Vadis Turner.

So, we're at the Chelsea Square Diner on 23rd and 9th. Why here?

This is my old haunt from when I had a crazy large, crazy free and crazy cold studio on 11th & 22nd. It was a dreamy place from a lost time. The interior was built out with street finds and repurposed supplies. Ceiling tin gutted from uptown brownstones lined our kitchen walls (thanks Tom Beale). There was a 50ft long paper plate chandelier that hung above our dining table (thanks Christopher Trujillo). Great parties.

Surface to Air: Rekindling Max Blagg's thoughts on Sally Egbert as "The Sky Years" is on exhibit at Tripoli Gallery, Wainscott, NY.

When I found out that Sally would be doing a show with Trip this summer, I called her up for a warm congratulation. She landed in the right place. We go back to the early days of my career, and developed a friendship through almost 20 years. We'd call each other every so often, as old friends do, and reminisce, talk about how fucked up the world is now (as if it was so perfect back then), etc. My son Matias fell asleep in her arms once, she explained to me why there was no better feeling.

Fine Ladds: A few questions for the unstoppable creative duo as they get ready for ONWARD, the annual summer gala at LongHouse Reserve, East Hampton.

Siblings most often have a competitive streak in them.
Who's more talented?

We don't really have a competitive vibe with each other. It doesn't really drive us. We both have our very specific abilities and we run with them. For example, William has a mind and the discipline for production. And I have a mind for dreaming and planning and archiving. Both of us do a bit of everything; but we both know who is responsible for what, and that ties directly into our strengths.

Sinners, Saints, Poets & Paint ~ Artist Maria Kreyn

I was lucky enough to be invited to "the spaceship" which artist Maria Kreyn calls her studio in Brooklyn. It was one of her salon events; an attractive and exotic crowd—bohemian chic, a couple of celebrities were present, though they'll go unnamed.

Interpretive Machines and Mourning Spirits: Brian Block and Maria Louizou residencies at the Watermill Center.

The only art I'm interested in is the art that I don't understand right away. If you understand it right away it really has no use except as nostalgia.

SPARKS OF JOY?: Richard Pasquarelli's "The Matter at Hand" at Jennifer Terzian Gallery, Litchfield, CT.

"Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually dirty kitchen, and 5 times out of 9 I will show you an exceptional man. Show me a man who lives alone and has a perpetually clean kitchen, and 8 times out of 9 I will show you a man with detestable spiritual qualities." - Charles Bukowski, Tales of Ordinary Madness.

DOC NYC Nov 10-18 - Critic's Choice

Kelcey Edwards' of-the-moment doc on the intersections between innovative, urgent new talents and some of the art world's highest paid gatekeepers may be instructive. She's said the smoldering question of her investigation is "how come the only people who can afford to be creative are already wealthy?" A scene upfront is a stunning example of how artists and galleries are challenging the ultra rich: We watch art dealer James Salomon unpacking and installing life-size sculptures (from 3-D scans) of Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos as warriors on horseback, alongside a crowded, busy collage of struggling, agonized figures "representing the unemployed" under them.
