Aida Markiw imagines another world far away in the Universe through her depiction of abstracted particles in motion. Kristin Reed layers radiating geometric patterns in her painting to explore inter-dimensionality, a place in the grid of consciousness where our world resonates with another simultaneous place that overlaps-normally hidden from our view. Through Karen Fitzgerald’s ambient application of paint onto a circular surface, she makes visible the universal interconnected energies within our material and spirit worlds. Matter and spirit are deeply intertwined, evoking a sense of something more than what our eyes can see a restless shifting of light and energy indicating something beyond our physical world, something metaphysical. Pearl Rosen Golden’s painting depicts a worrisome sky that questions interpretation of our real and unreal quality of life. Barbara Slitkin’s painted garden features mysterious figures that dwell in a realm outside of ours. Gale Rothstein’s assemblage of natural and industrial elements reflects another planet, walking through millennia of evolutions and transformations, everywhere and nowhere at once. With Sandra Taggart’s painted sea and starry skyscape she creates an invented place as a meditation on the environment.

I find it easy.Īs the NYT points out, the show actually sold out in seconds, and in hindsight of seems like though Murphy had his doubts, LCD Soundsystem finished in a rush and was always kind of destined to come back. My theory was, if I make it our last show, we'll sell it out in two weeks It wasn't a total lark, but it was a bit larky But I like making decisions. So, Murphy decided that in order to sell it out, the band would announce it as their last show: However, he also notes that the Madison Square Garden show which was their 'last' in 2011 had actually been booked for a while, and there were concerns that it wouldn't sell well.
