Brian Goslow, Managing Editor bgoslow@artscopemagazine.com Welcome to our first issue of 2018. We start the new year with an issue filled with artwork and exhibitions covering many of the timely issues on our readers’ minds through reviews of shows that were hanging as we went to press; we couldn’t have done it without the help of curators, gallery directors and artists who shared their work with our writers so we could preview as-yet-unopened shows. We address the environment and global warming through reviews of “We Might Climb a Tree, at Least,” a group exhibition celebrating the writings of Henry David Thoreau at Maine Museum of Photographic Arts (by Taryn Plumb); “James Chisholm: Reflections: Ocean Waves, Inland Streams” at Endicott College (by James Foritano); and the artistry of Clifford W. Ashley in “Thou Shalt Knot” at New Bedford Whaling Museum by Don Wilkinson, which … [Read more...] about WELCOME FROM BRIAN GOSLOW

ARTSCOPE AT ART BASEL SWITZERLAND: DAY TWO
by Nancy Nesvet TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 2017 Day two at Art Basel. In this wonderland of art, I am still totally at play, seeing the installations at Parcours, in the cathedral square and down by the Rhine River, but coming around to reality via some installations and sculpture at "Unlimited" in the city square called Messerplatz. First confronted by Al Wei Wei’s “Iron Tree” (2016), which changes patina as it ages, it also brings nature and the manmade relationship with nature into perspective. That relationship seems a theme of Parcours, curator Samuel Leuenberger’s brilliant trek through the city through the following of artwork installations. Reza Aramsh recreates Michelangelo’s “Slave” in resin, but tiesits hands behind his back with a rope, making him captive and towering on a plinth over the river. Katinka Bock’s “Parasite Fountain” (2017) creates ametal fish that draws water … [Read more...] about ARTSCOPE AT ART BASEL SWITZERLAND: DAY TWO
ARTSCOPE AT ART BASEL SWITZERLAND: DAY ONE
by Nancy Nesvet MONDAY, JUNE 12, 2017 With Art Basel, in Switzerland and The Venice Biennale and Documenta in Kassel, in Germany and Athens, Greece respectively, happening all at the same time, it is the trifecta for art shows, and so far, I’m betting on Art Basel. Having seen all of the Liste show yesterday, when it opened, and Art Basel Design, I can tell you the art aficionados are coming out for art, beauty and fun. Done with the hard-hitting political landscape of last year’s work here, and taking a breather, maybe literally, everyone’s happier seeing fewer political statement or in your face art. A lot is concentrating on the process, the materials and the bringing in of concrete, beads, aluminum screening and more for innovative treatments of material. Watch Artscope’s Instagram and Facebook pages for Prem Sahib’s Concrete Lion reproductions (of the originals in front … [Read more...] about ARTSCOPE AT ART BASEL SWITZERLAND: DAY ONE

Welcome January/February 2016
Welcome to our first Artscope magazine of 2016. We hope you had a chance to follow our coverage from Art Basel Miami Beach on Instagram and Facebook in early December; this issue features two reports by Suzanne Volmer from the event and its satellite fairs as well as impressions from three of New England’s top gallery directors — Adam Adelson of Adelson Galleries, Mike Carroll of Schoolhouse Gallery and William Baczek of William Baczek Fine Arts. As we were putting this issue together, we learned that we’ll be returning to the Art Basel Collective Booth in Basel, Switzerland this June and more pressingly, will be represented in the media exhibition area at Art Palm Beach in West Palm Beach, Florida from January 20-24, allowing us to continue our mission to bring New England’s artists, galleries and museums to the attention of audiences and collectors outside the region. Art … [Read more...] about Welcome January/February 2016
