A more careful curator’s hand might have helped define the transition between these very different kinds of photos Scheidemann presents; it’s a wonder that they’re coming from the same head space.
-
For Eric Zimmerman's solo show at Art Palace in Houston, the artist's choices reverberate with and contemplate the relentless course of history.

A 90 year-old artist who says he is telekinetic: the work is not only not cheesy but wholly convincing.
