"Apetite" by Enda O'Donoghue. 2008, oil on canvas. Photo by Irish Arts Center. Pixelize Me.
Be careful the next time you post your pictures on Facebook, you could become a work of art. The Irish artist Enda O'Donoghue had the good idea to paint scenes of daily life inspired from pictures exclusively found on the web. The Irish Art Center of New York is presenting his works until June 19, 2009. By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
"Boy Scout Salute," 2009
Oil on canvas 46 x 38 in. By Mike Cokrill. Photo by Kent Gallery.Children are seducers in Chelsea
"Sentiment and Seduction" is a new exhibition by Mike Cockrill, open from April 9 to May 29 at the Kent Gallery in Chelsea, New York. Lightly provocative, most of the paintings illustrate the sometimes-shocking theme of children confronting sexuality lovingly. In a society where we often question whether our children are discovering sex too young, Cockrill may be pushing our buttons with his innocent paintings. By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
Tree #2 Archival Inkjet Print 2006 by Myoung Ho Lee. Photo by Yossi Milo Gallery. Myoung Ho Lee is honoring trees in his soothing photograph
The Internationally known photographer Myoung Ho Lee is exhibiting his photographs at the Yossi Milo Gallery in New York until April 18, 2009. The Korean artist photographs trees all over the world, in different landscapes and seasons, but following the same complex concept: a large canvas of approximately 60 by 45 feet is placed behind a solitary tree, as if to isolate it on a painted canvas. By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
"Circumpstance" and "9 Windows." Latex, Cotton Foam Acrylic. Federico Restepo, 2009. Photo by Suzanne Trouve Feff. Meet Clandestinos Puppets at La MaMa Galleria.
If you walk between First Street and Bowery, you should stop and have a look at those huge impressive puppets hanging from La MaMa Galleria's ceiling. This is the new mix-media installation by Federico Restepo, "Clandestine/Clandestino," to be exhibited until April 26. By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
"Mochou: Recent works by Qiu Zhijie." Photo by Chambers of Fine Art, New York.
Chinese artist Qiu Zhijie resorted to painting the walls of Chambers of Fine Art.
Having opened on March 12, the exhibit "Mochou: recent works by Qiu Zhijie" will be presented until May 9 at the Chambers of Fine Art in Chelsea. The artist rose to an unusual challenge. What do you do if your paintings are not available 24 hours before the opening of your exhibit? It happened to Qiu Zhijie and the Chambers of Fine Art in New York last month. By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
Girl Groups #13 by Georgia Mash, at the Senior and Shopmaker Gallery.

The Model as Muse Catalogue Cover. Fashion Queens are at the MET.
Can models be the muses of the designer, creating themselves the fashions for their generation? This is the theme of the summer exhibit at the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, open until August 9, 2009. By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
Installation by Chu-Yun at the New Museum for "The generational Younger than Jesus." Photo by the New Museum. The New Museum spotlights emerging artists from around the world with the exhibit "Younger than Jesus"
The New Museum, a freshly renovated, trendy museum of the Lower East Side, is presenting the exhibit "The Generational: Younger Than Jesus" until June 14, 2009. Fifty contemporary artists are being presented from all over the world with a single unifying theme: born in the 80's, they are all younger then Jesus when he died. (That is estimated to be age 33.) By Suzanne Trouve Feff.
Enfolding 280 Hours, an installation by Sun K. Kwak at the Brooklyn Museum, March 2009. Dive into Sun K. Kwak's ocean at the Brooklyn Museum.

MIAMI WATCH
by Melinda Given Guttmann
An evocative fine art installation, dedicated to the healing professions, a minyan of ten chairs within a scrim-paneled chamber provides sanctuary and reflection. An evocative fine art installation, dedicated to the healing professions, a minyan of ten chairs within a scrim-paneled chamber provides sanctuary and reflection. Jewish Museum of Florida
One enters the 2007 restoration of the oldest synagogue in Miami Beach, originally built in 1929, and becomes surrounded by an airy inner-sanctuary of art! PSALMSONG, a multi- media Installation by Carol Hamoy, reveals itself as a multi-media, multi-cultural, Jewish feminist, post-modern sanctuary of fragile translucent fabric. One immediately becomes enchanted by a creation of visual poetry by artist Carol Hamoy. It's creation took three years from the first stitch to complete the work. Hamoy's work is hand-made; which she feel is enormously important in the computer era, in order for the viewer to feel the hand of the artist.Miami Art Museum and Freedom Tower
Canadian artists Cardiff and Miller pierce the hearts and alter the spectator's consciousness by continually breaking open internal visionary worlds and fantasies in the eleven multi-media installations which compose "The Killing Machine and Other Stories " whose U.S. Premiere in Miami presents a retrospective of their work from 1995 to 2007.The Euphoria of a Sleepless Night
We have all suffered sleepless nights: nights of anxiety; unrequited desire; and pacing the streets alone! By contrast this fascinating and profoundly stimulating creation of the "cultural takeover" of Miami "Sleepless Night " challenged thousands of participants from Miami and visitors from innumerable cities and foreign countries to stay up for thirteen hours in an internal and environmental adventure comprised of eighty-four artistic events. Eliciting grand gaiety and quiet aesthetic contemplation the organizers produced a wildly successful street festival scattered throughout four twisting and turning zones of beautiful luminous Miami Beach.
