This was my favorite image from the sexy show How To Cook A Wolf: Part One at Dinter Fine Art. I’m embarassed to say I didn’t really know Judith Bernstein’s work before, but now I will watch for her! Check out her entry in the Brooklyn Museum’s Feminist Art Base.

Q: Will he toe the mark?
A: Not if he can find it.
Do NOT miss David Gordon’s re-imagining of his 1982 piece “Trying Times” at Dance Theater Workshop through December 20th. Parts of it are hilarious — as in the quote above during a mock trial of his postmodernist tendencies — and one duet was so beautiful I got tears in my eyes.

Sad news from one of my favorite galleries: 31 Grand is closing and is having a final one-day show on Saturday, December 20th.
Megan Bush continues to work as an independent stylist while chasing after Polly the chihuahua and 4-year-old Henry. Heather Stephens continues to art direct at the Wall Street Journal and is joining Black & White Gallery in Chelsea.
