Highlights of the season gone by will include: Diane Arbus /Junior Interstate Ballroom Dance Champions paired with Helen Levitt/ Amazed Boy; a selection of city stills from our AIPAD one-person Ray K. Metzker show; grand color landscapes by Toshio Shibata from Japan and Peter Bialobrzeski from Germany; magnificent seascapes and landscapes by DoDo Jin Ming; and Julie Mack’s Stallion Suite from her inaugural exhibition.

Highlights from upcoming shows are: Burk Uzzle’s color photograph Prada Store, Marfa, Texas, anticipating his September opening; a recently-acquired Ray K. Metzker composite which hints at things to come in the late fall when Metzker’s retrospective opens in Lausanne, Switzerland, and a concurrent show opens here; and recent Cranbrook Academy graduate Jonathan Keller’s 1.5 minute video Living My Life Fast, a mobile self-portrait spanning a period of 8 years that is an intriguing and exhilarating commentary on the speed of time.

The preponderance of art fairs in recent years may be the antidote to trying to see so much at galleries, but for fairs, and artists in  general, to continue to succeed, those artists making pictures today need to be seen. Past (Present) Future gives an opportunity to double Warhol’s 15 minutes of fame for our artists and reward viewers who did not catch things the first time around.
