On Now >> Sarah Cale @ Jessica Bradley
by Heather White
I want to be careful in describing Sarah Cale’s new works; unseen and reduced to the bare facts of its innovation, her project could read dispassionate. So take note: Cale’s new body of work exudes as much presence and charge as the aesthetic it abandons. The show has major soul.
On Now >> Alex Fischer @ O’Born Contemporary
by Heather White
The world of Alex Fischer’s Smarter Today is not ours. For one thing, Fischer doesn’t depict our time; his images are appropriated from current sources, but then intricately camouflaged, via a process of digital layering, into compositions of possible futures. Those futures are spacey and pastel, and sparsely peopled with hybrid figures that might approach the monstrous if they didn’t veer so resolutely away from categorization.
